Abstract

During the process large-scale XPath queries against fast XML streams on Internet, a bottleneck occurs due to the lack of memory for filtering. This paper presents an effective automaton method to reduce the memory need by diminishing the tedious operators (such as “//” and “*”) in XPath expressions. The method contains a product automata to convert XPath to the actual path; thus to reduce the complexity in search space. The proposed method was implemented in MFSA (Multi- Finite States Automata) system for filtering queries of subscribers. The empirical evidence shows its efficiency and stability when the scale of queries is large.
