WANalytics: Analytics for a Geo-Distributed Data-Intensive World

Summary: WABD: running DAG analytics over geo-distributed data; centralizing raw data infeasible due to WAN cost, bandwidth limits, and data‑sovereignty. WANalytics pushes computation to edge DCs, optimizes DAG execution and selective replication; prototype yields 257× WAN reduction. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
