On Complexity and Optimization of Expensive Queries in Complex Event Processing

Summary: Analyzes the complexity of CEP pattern queries with Kleene closures, flexible selection, and timestamp imprecision to pinpoint costly expressive features. Proposes optimizations that remove bottlenecks, supported by microbenchmarks and a Hadoop-case study showing superior performance. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
