Query implementation using synthetic time series

A system for executing a query on a time series, comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• receive the time series;
• receive the query relating to the time series wherein the query specifies a condition;
• translate the condition into a synthetic time series and an operation on:
• the synthetic time series and the time series;
• execute the operation on the synthetic time series and the time series;
• and
• return the result of the operation as an answer to the query;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor and configured to.

A computer program product for executing a query on a time series, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:

• receiving the time series;
• receiving the query relating to the time series wherein the query specifies a condition;
• translating the condition into a synthetic time series and an operation on:
• the synthetic time series and the time series;
• is executing the operation on the synthetic time series and the time series;
• and
• returning the result of the operation as an answer to the query.
