Abstract
Recently, access control on form-based web information systems has become one of the useful methods for implementing client systems in a service-oriented architecture. In particular, XForms language is being adopted in many systems as a description language for XML-based user interfaces and server interactions. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm for the evaluation of XPath-based access rules for XForms pages. In this model, an XForms page is a sequence of queries and the client system performs user interface realization along with XPath rule evaluations. XPath rules have instance-dependent predicates, which for the most part are shared between rules. For the efficient evaluation of shared predicate expressions in access control rules, we proposed a predicate graph model that reuses the previously evaluated results for the same context node. This approach guarantees that each predicate expression is evaluated for the relevant xml node only once.
