Distributed Top-K Monitoring

Summary: Distributed top-k monitoring across multiple streams, avoiding central data transport. Arithmetic constraints at remote sources ensure valid top-k within user-specified error tolerance; communication occurs only on violations, yielding an order-of-magnitude reduction vs centralized schemes.
