Excerpt
Excerpt A more ambitious approach to handling ad hoc queries that reference past data is to maintain summaries of data streams ... that can be used to give approximate answers to future ad hoc queries. Taking this approach requires making a decision in advance about the best way to use memory resources to give good approximate answers to a broad range of possible future queries. |
