Holistic Aggregates in a Networked World: Distributed Tracking of Approximate Quantiles

Summary: Proposes distributed-tracking schemes for continuous approximate quantiles over distributed streams, with space-per-site storage and low communication. A hybrid approach—local tracking plus simple prediction models—extends to holistic aggregates (e.g., heavy hitters), with experiments showing substantial savings.
