\section{Dynamic summarization of data streams} We define a data stream $X$ as a possibly infinite data set where each of the samples $x_{n}$ is available only after the time instant $t_{n}$. The arrival time of consecutive samples needs not to be equidistant; i.e., $% t_{n}-t_{n-1}$ may be different from $t_{n+1}-t_{n}$. The data available from the stream $X$ up to a given time instant $t_{n}$, $X_{n}$, is made up by the samples $X_{n}=\{x[0],x[1],x[2],...,x[i],...,x[n]\}$, where each sample…
