Abstract
A computer implemented method to determine the satisfaction of one or more mapping conditions conditionally mapping a first state in a first pattern matching automaton to a second state in the first automaton, each of the conditions being based on symbol patterns matched by a second pattern matching automaton having states corresponding to wildcard symbols in the first automaton, the method comprising: encoding the conditions in a condition tree data structure associated with the first state, the condition tree modeling sequences of symbol patterns for matching by the second automaton and corresponding to each of the conditions, wherein a node in the condition tree corresponding to a complete set of symbol patterns for a condition has associated an output symbol sequence to identify a pattern match by the first automaton.
