Abstract

As Web applications are time vulnerable, the increasing size of XML documents and the complexity of evaluating XML queries pose new performance challenges to existing information retrieval technologies. This paper introduces a new approach for developing a purpose-built XML data management system to improve the system performance of a Web site with XML support by using parallel data processing techniques. To improve the system performance, we propose a parallelisation model for XML data processing, where the data storage strategies, data placement methods and query evaluation techniques have been studied. Other related issues are also presented.
