Efficient SLCA Computing Service for XML Filtering in IaaS
Chenjing Zhang, Xiaoling Wang, Aoying Zhou · 2010
Cloud provides dynamically computing services for large scales of data over the Internet. IaaS(information as a service) is one of utilities to provide information service in Cloud computing. Large scales of XML data are produced continually in Internet. Efficient information filtering services are needed. Previous XML filter approaches aim at XPath queries. However, many users tend to use keywords to describe requirements. SLCA (Smallest Lowest Common Ancestor)-based XML keyword search is one of the most important information retrieval approaches. Former approaches focus on building centralized index for a large scale of XML document collection and can't process continuous XML streams. This paper addresses SLCA computing service for continuous XML document. A novel SLCA computing service is designed, where SLCAs are obtained in one scan of XML stream. We demonstrate the efficiency of our algorithms analytically and experimentally.
