In this paper we present a general approach to string matching based on multiple sliding text-windows, and show how it can be applied to some among the most efficient algorithms for the problem based on nondeterministic automata and comparison of characters. From our experimental results it turns out that the new multiple sliding windows approach leads to algorithms which obtain better results than the original ones when searching texts over relatively large alphabets. Best improvements are obtained especially for short patterns.

Abstract

In this paper we present a general approach to string matching based on multiple sliding text-windows, and show how it can be applied to some among the most efficient algorithms for the problem based on nondeterministic automata and comparison of characters. From our experimental results it turns out that the new multiple sliding windows approach leads to algorithms which obtain better results than the original ones when searching texts over relatively large alphabets. Best improvements are obtained especially for short patterns.
