Even though an effective cost-based query optimizer is of utmost importance for the efficient evaluation of XQuery expressions in native XML database systems, such a component is...
— XQuery, the defacto XML query language, is a functional language with operational semantics, which precludes the direct application of classical query optimization techniques. ...
We introduce an extension of the XQuery language, FluX, that supports event-based query processing and the conscious handling of main memory buffers. Purely event-based queries of...

Abstract— Developing a full-fledged cost-based XQuery optimizer is a fairly complex task. Nowadays, there is little knowledge concerning suitable cost formulae and optimization ...
Twig pattern matching (TPM) is the core operation of XML query processing. Existing approaches rely on either efficient data structures or novel labeling/indexing schemes to reduce...
