To　deal　tree　pattern　matching　(twig　query)　issue　for　XQuery　processing,　TwigList　[1]　proposes　a　high　efficient　solution.　However,　it　does　not　consider　the　out-of-orderness　issue　which　is　required　in　XQuery.　And,　like　most　existing　approaches　TwigList　pay　little　attention　to　optimization　for　the　parent-child　relationship.　In　this　paper,　we　propose　a　novel　way　to　handle　both　the　out-of-orderness　issue　and　optimization　of　parent-child　relationship　by　improving　TwigList,　named　TwigLinkedList.　Detailed　performance　test　shows　that　our　algorithm　reaches　and　exceeds　the　level　of　TwigList,　while　reducing　redundant　intermediate　results.　©　2010　Springer-Verlag.
