<p>A system for processing arbitrary time-series datasets, the time-series datasets comprising a set of data points, each data point having: i) a time value; ii) a first data value representing the magnitude of a first parameter; and iii) one or more further data values each representing the state of a respective further parameter, and the system comprising: an input configured to receive first and second time-series datasets; a data point analyser configured to store the content of each data point in a record, each record having: a first field for holding a time value; a second field for holding one or more values of a descriptor; a third field for holding a descriptor; and a fourth field for holding a value, the data point analyser being configured to store the content of each data point received by the input in a respective record by storing: said time value in the first field; said one or more further data values in the second field; a descriptor of the first value in the third field; and said first value in the fourth field; a storage device comprising a data structure configured to store a plurality of the said records; and a data structure analyser configured to access the data structure based on the stored time values so as to enable the comparison of data from the first and second datasets.</p> |
