"In Forrester's 40-criteria evaluation of application programming interface (API) management solutions,
we identified the 11 most significant software providers in the category - 3scale, Apigee, Axway, CA
Technologies, IBM, Informatica, Intel Services, MuleSoft, SOA Software, Tibco Software, and WSO2 - and
researched, analyzed, and evaluated them. This report details our findings about how well each vendor's
products fulfill our criteria and where they stand in relation to each other. This analysis, combined with
three buying guides that highlight key make-or-break decision factors, will help AD&D professionals select
the right partner for their API management needs."
"We present a novel streaming algorithm for evaluating XPath expressions that use backward axes
(parent and ancestor) and forward axes in a single document-order traversal of an XML document.
Other streaming XPath processors, such as YFilter, XTrie, and TurboXPath handle only forward axes.
We show through experiments that our algorithm significantly outperforms (by more than a factor of
two) a traditional non-streaming XPath engine. Furthermore, since our algorithm only retains relevant
portions of the input document in memory, it scales better than traditional XPath engines. It can process
large documents; we have successfully tested documents over 1GB in size. On the other hand, the
traditional XPath engine degrades considerably in performance for documents over 100 MB in size and
fails to complete for documents of size over 200 MB."
"Our project (titled xstream)
concentrated on evaluation of XPath over XML streams.
This research area contains multiple challenges resulting
from both the richness of the language and the
requirement of having only a single pass over the data.
We modified and extended one of the known algorithms,
TurboXPath [4], a tree-based IBM algorithm. We also
provide extensive comparative analysis between
TurboXPath and XSQ [5], currently the most advanced of
finite automata (FA)-based algorithms."
"Terrier is a highly flexible, efficient, and effective open source search engine, readily deployable on large-scale collections of documents. Terrier implements state-of-the-art indexing and retrieval functionalities, and provides an ideal platform for the rapid development and evaluation of large-scale retrieval applications."
