Abstract

We study the problem of applying adaptive filters for approximate query processing in a distributed stream environment. We propose filter bound assignment protocols with the objective of reducing communication cost. Most previous works focus on value-based queries (e.g., average) with numerical error tolerance. In this paper, we cover entity-based queries (e.g., nearest neighbor) with non-value-based error tolerance. We investigate different non-value-based error tolerance definitions and discuss how they are applied to two classes of entity-based queries: non-rank-based and rank-based queries. Extensive experiments show that our protocols achieve significant savings in both communication overhead and server computation.
