Title: Concurrent aggregate queries

Abstract: Concurrent data structures serve as fundamental building blocks for concurrent computing. Many concurrent counterparts have been designed for basic sequential mechanisms; however, one notable omission is a concurrent tree that supports aggregate queries. Aggregate queries essentially compile succinct information about a range of data items, for example, calculating the average salary of employees in their 30s. Such queries play an essential role in various applications and are commonly taught in undergraduate data structures courses. In this paper, we formalize a type of aggregate queries that can be efficiently supported by concurrent trees and present a design for implementing these queries on concurrent trees. We bring two algorithms implementing this design, where one optimizes for tree update time, while the other optimizes for aggregate query time. We analyze their correctness and complexity, demonstrating the trade-offs between query time and update time.
