Conceptual Survey on Data Stream Processing Systems

The present paper gives an overview about the state of the art technology within the area of data stream processing systems. Although the area of stream processing systems is not new, it is receiving a greater interest in the light of current business trends like the Internet of Things (IoT). The comparison of systems thereby includes several aspects such as a look into their architectures as well as into the responsibilities of the corresponding system components. A ranking or recommendations for one or more system(s) is not part of the work.
