Utility-Maximizing Event Stream Suppression

Summary: Formalizes utility-maximizing suppression in CEP with privacy preferences to limit sensitive pattern disclosure while preserving nonsensitive signals. Two real-time solutions: optimal at the event-type level; event-instance level with cardinality estimation. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
