XML Query Result Size Estimation for Small Bandwidth Devices

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 4587))

Abstract

Whenever mobile ad-hoc networks are used as a large data storage, a huge number of queries requesting the same information again and again can slow down the network and drain battery power. In this paper, we introduce an example application, the query classes that are required to be supported, and show up two possible caching methods. The two caching methods are based on the concept of query shipping and data shipping, respectively. Since our caching strategies can be used simultaneously, the decision for doing data shipping depends among other aspects on the overhead of transferred data. We explain why an XML Query Result Size Estimator can assist the application in the question of which mechanism should be used for a certain query, and point to other related estimation techniques.
