Abstract

A method, system, and article for improving performance of a Boolean combination of at least two filters to a data stream. Stream processing is applied to an expression having two or more logical operators. As the data stream is processed, efficiency of the operators in the expression is evaluated. A sort algorithm is dynamically invoked to ensure that a more efficient operator precedes processing of a less efficient operator.
