Although cloud computing offers many advantages with regards to adaption of resources, we witness either a strong resistance or a very slow adoption to those new offerings. One reason for the resistance is that (i) many technologies such as stream processing systems still lack of appropriate mechanisms for elasticity in order to fully harness the power of the cloud, and (ii) do not provide mech...

XML stream processing has recently become popular for many applications such as selective dissemination of information. Several approaches have been proposed and most of them are based on the idea of finite automata. Different from these approaches, this paper presents a novel and efficient method for evaluating XPath with predicates on XML streaming data. For linear XPath expressions, our appr...
