Batched Processing for Information Filters Peter M. Fischer and Donald Kossmann   View Paper (PDF)   Return to Research Session 26: XML Filtering Abstract This paper describes batching, a novel technique in order to improve the throughput of an information filter (e.g. message broker or publish and subscribe system). Rather than processing each message individually, incoming messages are reordered, grouped and a whole group of similar messages is processed. This paper presents alternative strategies to do batching. Extensive performance experiments are conducted on those strategies in order to compare their tradeoffs. ©2006 Association for Computing Machinery
