Statistical Analysis of Massive Data Streams: Proceedings of a Workshop (2004)

Below is the uncorrected machine-read text of this chapter, intended to provide our own search engines and external engines with highly rich, chapter-representative searchable text of each book. Because it is UNCORRECTED material, please consider the following text as a useful but insufficient proxy for the authoritative book pages.

A STREAM PROCESSOR FOR EXTRACTING USAGE INTELLIGENCE FROM HIGH-MOMENTUM INTERNET DATA 325 to other data-reduction processes and commitment to storage and yield significant cost and latency reductions as well. Key paradigm shifts that we have had to make (and are still making) in our own thinking have been in areas such as dynamic interaction with stream-oriented programming languages, distributed stream processing architectures and visualization of streams. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank some key individuals who have supported me and contributed to this program: Leland Wilkinson, Senior VP, SPSS, who has personally given me strong encouragement to get this material published; Eric Buatois, HP VP, who helped fund early research on these concepts; Jeff Meyer, HP Chief Architect for IUM, who has been the thought leader and creator of many of the key concepts of the IUM platform; Ying He, HP Software developer, who has always been open to changes and yet more changes and has contributed extensively to the DNA server architecture; Eric Peterson, HP Software developer, a great communicator and developer who is primarily responsible for the DNA front-end architecture; Scott Lamons, HP R&D Project Manager, who has been a tremendous asset to the smooth workings of our team and a strong supporter of the program.
