Memory-Limited Execution of Windowed Stream Joins

Summary: Memory-limited execution of continuous sliding-window stream joins; analyzes two approximations under memory constraints: max-subset and random-sample. Introduces age-based arrival models, proves infeasibility for arbitrary inputs, and proposes a multi-join memory-allocation algorithm with experiments. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
