ICDE '02 Panel Notes

These notes weren't taken with the intention of summarizing the panel -- I just jotted down ideas that I personally found interesting or that represented a different perspective.

• reason about formal properties of streams (go beyond sortedness)
• need a stream benchmark
• publish-subscribe (index queries not data)
• TV monitoring app: 140 million households, 3.5 hrs/day, 19 clicks/hr
• timeliness is important (e.g. Vitria)
• not performance; rather, ease of use, robustness, ease of change
• no joins (data arrives denormalized)
• regular expression matching operator (DNA?)
• presence-based applications (e.g. parking spot locator)
• queries with hierarchical structure (e.g. product hierarchies)
• graceful degradation
• existing pub-sub app: MSN mobile
