Paper Review: The CQL continuous query language: semantic foundations and query execution

Title and Author of Paper The CQL continuous query language: semantic foundations and query execution. Arasu et al. Summary CQL is a derivation of the SQL query language developed for running continuous queries over streams of data. The goals of the system are to provide a precise set of language semantics for running such continuous stream workloads. The paper starts by defining precise abstract semantics for continuous queries that cover two data types — streams and relations — and three classes of operators: ones that produce a relation from a stream, one that produces a relation from other relations, and one that produces a stream from a relation. These semantics are defined independent of the underlying implementation. The second portion of this paper defines how CQL instantiates these abstract semantics using existing SQL specifications and some new CQL additions. ...
