The Case for a Signal-Oriented Data Stream Management System

Summary: Proposes a Signal-Oriented DSMS that makes signal segments first-class, unifying event-stream and signal-processing operators. Targets ease of UDFs, multi-million-sample/sec throughput on commodity PCs, and partitioned execution across PCs and sensor nodes. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
