Abstract The Extensible Markup Language (XML) files, widely used for storing and exchanging information on the web require efficient parsing mechanisms to improve the performance of the applications. With the existing Document Object Model (DOM) based parsing, the performance degrades due to sequential processing and large memory requirements, thereby requiring an efficient XML parser to mitigate these issues. In this paper, we propose a Parallel XML Tree Generator (PXTG) algorithm for accelerating the parsing of XML files and a Regression-based XML Parsing Framework (RXPF) that analyzes and predicts performance through profiling, regression, and code generation for efficient parsing. The PXTG algorithm… More >

Abstract Extensible Markup Language (XML) is commonly employed to represent and transmit information over the Internet. Therefore, how to effectively search for keywords of massive XML data becomes a new issue. In this paper, we first present four properties to improve the classical ILE algorithm. Then, a kind of parallel XML keyword search algorithm, based on intelligent grouping to calculate SLCA, is proposed and realized under MapReduce programming model. At last, a series of experiments are implemented on 7 datasets of different sizes. The obtained results indicate that the proposed algorithm has high execution efficiency and is applicable to keyword search… More >

Abstract Information technology is a beneficial tool for the healthcare industry. Health informatics is concerned with using ICT within the healthcare system. Different electronic health record (EHR) systems independently store large amounts of medical data in various structures and formats. Achieving semantic interoperability in EHR environments will improve the healthcare industry. In our previous studies, we proposed a framework that identifies the different heterogeneous medical data sources. In this paper, we move towards implementing the first module of that framework. We expect our framework to be a step towards improving performance and reducing both human mediation and data losses. More >

Abstract Considering cloud computing from an organizational and end user computing point of view, it is a new paradigm for deploying, managing and offering services through a shared infrastructure. Current development of cloud computing applications, however, are the lack of a uniformly approach to cope with the heterogeneous information fusion. This leads cloud computing to inefficient development and a low potential reuse. This study addresses these issues to propose a novel Web 2.0 Mashups as a Service, called WMaaS, which is a fundamental cloud service model. The WMaaS is developed based on a XML-based Mashups Architecture (XMA) that is composed of… More >

Abstract In the era of big data, the conflict between data mining and data privacy protection is increasing day by day. Traditional information security focuses on protecting the security of attribute values without semantic association. The data privacy of big data is mainly reflected in the effective use of data without exposing the user’s sensitive information. Considering the semantic association, reasonable security access for privacy protect is required. Semi-structured and self-descriptive XML (eXtensible Markup Language) has become a common form of data organization for database management in big data environments. Based on the semantic integration nature of XML data, this paper… More >
