Résumé:
The explosion of published information on the Web leads to the
emergence of a Web syndication paradigm, which transforms the passive reader
into an active information collector. Information consumers subscribe to RSS/Atom feeds and
are notified whenever a piece of news (item) is published. The success of this
Web syndication now offered on Web sites, blogs, and social media, however
raises scalability issues. There is a vital need for efficient real-time filtering methods
across feeds, to allow users to follow effectively personally interesting
information. We investigate in this paper three indexing techniques for users'
subscriptions based on inverted lists or on an ordered trie. We present analytical models for
memory requirements and matching time and we conduct a thorough experimental
evaluation to exhibit the impact of critical workload parameters on these
structures.
