Abstract
Data stream warehousing combines the real-time data loading of data
stream management systems and the long histories and deep analytics of data
warehouses. AT&T generates many diverse high-volume data streams as part
of its normal operations. To make full use of this flood of data, we have been
developing technologies for data stream warehousing, allowing analysts to
develop applications such as data mining, alerting, and troubleshooting tools
across multiple data sources, for example in the Darkstar data warehouse.
Data stream warehousing exposes some unique data management problems.
In this talk, I introduce data steam warehousing, the challenges that real-
world data feeds present, and a collection of technologies for handling these
problems.

Theodore Johnson received a B.A in Mathematics from Johns Hopkins
University in 1986, and Ph.D. from New York University in 1990. From 1990
to 1996 he was an Associate Professor at the Computer and Information Sci-
ence department of the University of Florida. In 1996 he joined the Database
research department of AT&T Labs - Research. Theodore has developed sev-
eral systems in widespread use at AT&T, including the Bellman data quality
browser, the GS Tool data stream management system for network packet
analysis, and the DataDepot data stream warehousing system. Dr. Johnson
became an AT&T Fellow in 2011.
