Advances in Web technology enable personalization proxies that assist users in satisfying their complex information monitoring and aggregation needs through the repeated querying of multiple volatile data sources. Such proxies face a scalability challenge when trying to maximize the number of clients served while at the same time fully satisfying clients complex user profiles. In this work we use an abstraction of complex execution intervals (CEIs) constructed over simple execution intervals (EIs) represents user profiles and use existing offline approximation as a baseline for maximizing completeness of capturing CEIs. We present three heuristic solutions for the online problem of query scheduling to satisfy complex user profiles. The first only considers properties of individual EIs while the other two exploit properties of all EIs in the CEI. We use an extensive set of experiments on real traces and synthetic data to show that heuristics that exploit knowledge of the CEIs dominate across multiple parameter settings.
