Researchers in data management have recently recognized the importance of a new class of data-intensive applications. Data for these applications is best modeled via streams of data that requires continuous monitoring, rather than persistent data stored in relational tables. Many application domains require management of data streams. These include finance, web applications, security, networking, and sensor monitoring. Consider the domain of sensor monitoring. Cheap micro-sensor technology is expected to soon enable most objects of interest to report their location and state in real time. These large number of sensors distributed in the physical world would generate streams of data which would need to be combined, monitored and analyzed. Examples of such sensor networks include environmental monitoring systems, battlefield monitoring systems, Gamma ray detection in astrophysics. Key differences of data streams from conventional database systems (that focus on stored data) can be specified as: The data stream is potentially unbounded in size. · After processing an element from the data stream, this element is discarded or archived. This means that later retrieval of this element, if possible, would be fairly expensive. · The arrival rate of the data can vary over time. Indeed the arrival may be in bursts. · Certain queries will be continuously evaluated over the continuously arriving data. · Decisions could be made based on the data and would need to be acted upon. Management of data streams poses a number of interesting challenges for research in database management systems. Adequate mechanisms will have to be developed to query data streams, including means to express queries, develop operators to process these queries and algorithms to optimize such queries. Additionally, to monitor data streams and alert humans (or other software) of abnormal activity, stream management systems need to move from the currently dominant model of being a passive repository to become more active. An additional need is for systems managing stream data is to cater to real-time requirements since the decisions made on the basis of the data need to be acted upon in close to real-time, probably with some Quality-of-Service (QoS) guarantees. |

Content of Manuscript: |
||||
|
|
This edited manuscript will be composed of chapters from experts in the emerging field of stream data management. The manuscript will gather recent knowledge related to various issues related to managing stream data, including systems, languages and algorithms for managing and querying stream data. Currently this knowledge is scattered across disparate research papers and will appeal to researchers and students interested in this area. |
