Energy-efficient Broadcasting of XML Data in Mobile Computing Environments

In this paper, we propose a streaming method for XML data that supports energy-efficient processing of queries over the stream in mobile clients. We propose new stream organizations for XML data which have different kinds of addresses to related data in a stream. We describe event-driven stream generation algorithms for the proposed stream structures and provide search algorithms for simple XML path queries which leverage the access mechanisms incorporated in the stream. Experimental results show that our approaches can effectively improve the tuning time performance of user queries in a wireless broadcasting environment.
