Recent years witnessed an increasing interest in researches in XML, partly due to the fact that XML has now become the de facto standard for data interchange over the internet. A large amount of work has been reported on XML storage models and query processing techniques. However, few works have addressed issues of XML query optimization. This paper reports the study on one of the challenges in XML query optimization: containment join size estimation. Containment join is well accepted as an important operation in XML query processing. Estimating the size of its results is no doubt essential to generate efficient XML query processing plans.
