Haas and Chris Jermaine . Describes basic principles and recent developments in approximate query processing. It focuses on four key synopses: random samples, histograms, wavelets, and sketches. It considers issues such as accuracy, space and time efficiency, optimality, practicality, range of applicability, error bounds on query answers, and incremental maintenance. It also discusses the trade-offs between the different synopsis types. 10. [Distributed Streams Algorithms for Sliding Windows](http://home.engineering.iastate.edu/~snt/pubs/tocs04.pdf) by Phillip B.
