The Design of the Borealis Stream Processing Engine
Summary: Borealis extends Aurora and Medusa into a distributed second-generation stream engine, adding revision records, time-travel and control-lines to support dynamic query and result revision for real-world streaming applications. Also introduces a cross-network QoS-driven optimizer spanning servers and sensors and a tunable fault-tolerance model that trades consistency for availability.
