Surprise? Not really...

Hi all, as mentioned in the previous post, I wanted to make a huge surprise to all of you. I bought a couple of weeks ago a domain for this blog, here! Yay! But... I had several issues setting it up, and I'm still struggling to bring all the old posts there and make it work. When everything is going to be setup, I will close this blog and move to the other one! In the future I have to finish the streaming history as it is taking a long time to end... and then I have already a couple of ideas in mind as for working reasons I'm going to treat...

Streaming Systems history, part 3

Finally, here we are on the third part of the streaming system history. I'm sorry it took so long, but I had many, many things to do for work and I was very busy with real life stuff. In this part I'm going to introduce systems from 2011. If you find any mistake or anything incomplete feel free to let me know by commenting the post! Not all the 2011 systems are shown in this post, I will complete it with the final, fourth part. In this part I'm going to quickly talk about Storm (2011) and WebRTC (2011). Storm is a distributed computational...

In this post I'm going to talk about the second generation of streaming systems: Borealis (2005), SPC (2006), DryadLINQ (2008) and S4 (2010). Borealis is a distributed stream processing engine which inherits much from Aurora and Medusa. Aurora is a framework for monitoring application born around 2002. At the high level, the system model is made...

Streaming Systems history, part 1

Lately I've been very busy studying streaming systems in general. I've took a look at the last decade streaming systems and what literature proposed. I want to share a little bit my findings summing up things here a little bit. I'm going to divide this series of posts in three, one for each generation of streaming systems. All the data should be more or less correct, but feel free to comment below and ask question of correct mistakes if there are! I would like to be the more precise as possible. The first generation of streams proposes, among...

I'm still alive

Hi all, I'm sorry I couldn't post much later. I've been in vacation for a while, and then suddenly a big chunk of work arrived, and I had practically 0 time to write here. I'm not even programming anymore, just paper writing and teaching assisting. Hopefully I'll be back on track after the 15th, the last deadline for the last paper I wrote. Until next time, see ...
