On the Complexity of Privacy-Preserving Complex Event Processing
Summary: Formalizes privacy-preserving, utility-maximizing CEP (PP-CEP): report desired event patterns while concealing private patterns, introducing pattern-level privacy for CEP distinct from relational settings. Analyzes complexity under multiple models, proving hardness and barriers to utility-preserving algorithms. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
