  Abstract

This paper is on query processing in the mobile devices where memory capacity is limited. In case that a query against a large volume of XML data is processed in such a mobile device, techniques of fragmenting the XML data into chunks and of streaming and processing them are required. Such techniques make it possible to process queries without materializing the XML data in its entirety. The previous schemes such as XFrag[4], XFPro[5], XFLab[6] are not scalable with respect to the increase of the size of the XML data because they lack proper memory management capability. After some information on XML fragments necessary for query processing is stored, it is not deleted even after it becomes of no use. As such, when the XML fragments are dynamically generated and infinitely streamed, there could be no guarantee of normal completion of query processing. In this paper, we address scalability of query processing over dynamic XML fragment stream, proposing techniques of deleting information on XML fragments accumulated during query processing in order to extend the previous schemes. The performance experiments through implementation showed that our extended schemes considerably outperformed the previous ones in memory efficiency and scalability with respect to the size of the XML data.
