Abstract
Querying XML streams is receiving much attention due to its growing range of applications from traffic monitoring to routing of media streams. Existing approaches to querying XML streams consider restricted query language fragments, in most cases with exponential worst-case complexity in the size of the query. This paper gives correctness and complexity results for a query evaluator against XML streams called SPEX [8]. Its combined complexity is shown to be polynomial in the size of the data and the query. Extensive experimental evaluation with a prototype confirms the theoretical complexity results.
