Model and requirements for a Multiresolution Time Series Database Management System

In this paper we define a model for multiresolution time series database management systems. The main objective is to store compactly a time series and manage consistently its temporal dimension. It is achieved by extracting different resolutions and attributes summaries from the time series. Our work is concerned in putting together two areas of study: time series analysis and database management systems (DBMS). Time series analysis offers a great deal of methodologies and algorithms to process time series data and database field provides software expertise in managing data. Therefore it is of primary relevance that DBMS support time series.
