We study similarity queries for time series data where similarity is defined in terms of a set of linear transformations on the Fourier series representation of a sequence. We have shown in an earlier work that this set of transformations is rich enough to formulate operations such as moving average and time scaling.In this paper, we present a new algorithm for processing queries that define similarity in terms of multiple transformations instead of a single one. The idea is, instead of searching the index multiple times and each time applying a single transformation, to search the index only once and apply a collection of transformations simultaneously to the index. Our experimental results on both synthetic and real data show that the new algorithm for simultaneously processing multiple transformations is much faster than sequential scanning or index traversal using one transformation at a time. We also examine the possibility of composing transformations in a query or of rewriting a query expression such that the resulting query can be efficiently evaluated.
