With Sliding Windows, a new record creates two new windows: one that ends at the record's timestamp, and one that starts 1ms after the record's timestamp. The first window will contain the new record, while the second will not. This is shown with record b in figure 3. These windows were chosen to ensure that for all the records, every combination of possible records given the window size will be created. This allows for easy aggregation when creating new windows, as any aggregation needed in a new window will have already been calculated in an existing window, explanation here. For a new window that overlaps with existing records (record a in figure 3), these records will be aggregated and added to the new window's value.
