Abstract

In this paper, we consider aggregation algorithms for SUM operator for uncertain stream processing. Deterministic algorithms can not be used here because of uncertain data and high rates of data change, time and memory constraints. We compare the most promising available methods. Instead of full distribution functions of query result, we use a set of six parameters based on key moments and quantiles to describe the distributions. It enables us to perform fast recomputations of the aggregation with O(1) complexity. Experimental results demonstrate good performance of uncertain aggregation in comparison to deterministic case. We also found that usage of central limit theorem may be restricted to problems where data satisfy certain conditions.
