DARLING: Data-Aware Load Shedding in Complex Event Processing Systems

Summary: DARLING enables data-aware load shedding for real-time CEP, using statistics to detect overload and guide decisions. Drops less important events to meet latency bounds while preserving result quality; experiments show superiority to state-of-the-art. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
