EIRES: Efficient Integration of Remote Data in Event Stream Processing

Summary: CEP with remote data dependencies stalls streams or inflates state. EIRES uses a cost-model to trigger fetches and cache remote data, combining prefetching and lazy evaluation to maintain flow, yielding up to 3,752x synthetic and 47x real-data latency gains.
