본 논문에서는 객체지향 데이터베이스의 중포된 객체에 대한 질의처리를 효율적으로 지원하기 위한 다차원 중포 속성 색인기법을 제안한다. 중포된 객체에 대한 기존의 색인기법들은 일차원 색인구조를 이용함으로써 중포된 객체의 속성과 클래스 계층이 포함된 다양한 형태의 질의들에 대한 처리를 효율적으로 지원하지 못하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 다차원 중포 속성 색인기법에서는 다차원 파일구조를 이용하여 중포 속성의 킷값 도메인과 함께 중포 속성을 표현하는 경로상의 모든 속성에 대해 각 속성이 정의된 클래스 계층마다 클래스 식별자 도메인을 할당함으로써, 다차원 도메인 공간상에서 색인 엔트리들의 클러스터링을 다른다. 따라서, 다차원 중포속성 색인기법에서는 기존의 색인기법에서 지원하기 어려운 질의의 대상 범위가 클래스 계층상의 임의의 클래스들로 제한되거나, 질의에 포함된 복합 속성들의 도메인이 클래스 계층상의 임의의 클래스들로 제한되는 경우에도 효율적으로 지원할 수 있다.

In mobile systems, energy efficiency is critical to extend battery life. Therefore, power consumption should be taken into account to develop software in addition to performance, Efficient software design in power and performance is possible if accurate power prediction is accomplished during the execution of software, In this paper, power estimation model is developed using statistical analysis, The proposed model analyzes processor behavior Quantitatively using the data of performance monitoring events and power consumption collected by executing various benchmark programs, And then representative hardware events on power consumption are selected using hierarchical clustering, The power prediction model is established by regression analysis in which the selected events are independent variables and power is a response variable, The proposed model is applied to a PXA320 mobile processor based on Intel XScale architecture and shows average estimation error within 4% of the actual measured power consumption of the processor.

Mobile Ad-hoc Network(MANET) is an autonomous network consisted of mobile hosts. A considerable number of studies have been conducted on the MANET with studies of ubiquitous computing. Several studies have been made on the clustering schemes which manage network hierarchically to Improve flat architecture of MANET. But the conventional schemes have the lack of multi-hop clustering and load balancing. This paper proposes a clustering scheme to support multi-hop clustering and to consider load balancing between cluster heads. We define the split of clusters and states of cluster, and propose join, merge, divide, and election of cluster head schemes for load balancing of between cluster heads

In sensor network systems, various hierarchical clustering schemes have been proposed in order to efficiently maintain the energy consumption of sensor nodes. Most of these schemes, however, are hardly applicable in practice since these schemes might produce unbalanced clusters or randomly distributed clusters without taking into account of the distribution of sensor nodes. To overcome the limitations of such hierarchical clustering schemes, we propose a novel scheme called CSM(Clustering using Split & Merge algorithm), which exploits node split and merge algorithm of tree-based indexing structures to efficiently construct clusters. Our extensive performance studies show that the CSM constructs highly balanced clustering in a energy efficient way and achieves higher performance up to 1.6 times than the previous clustering schemes, under various operational conditions.

Mobile Ad-hoc Network(MANET) needs efficient node management because the wireless network has energy constraints. Mobility of MANET would require the topology change frequently compared with a static network. To improve the routing protocol in MANET, energy efficient routing protocol would be required as well as considering the mobility would be needed. Previously proposed a hybrid routing CACH prolong the network lifetime and decrease latency. However the algorithm has a problem when node density is increase. In this paper, we propose a new method that the CACHE(Context-aware Clustering Hierarchy and Energy efficient) algorithm. The proposed analysis could not only help in defining the optimum depth of hierarchy architecture CACH utilize, but also improve the problem about node density.

As the topology frequently varies, more cluster reconstructing is needed and also management overheads increase in the wireless ad hoc/sensor networks. In this paper, we propose a multi-hop clustering algorithm for wireless sensor network topology management using dynamic pre-clusterhead scheme to solve cluster reconstruction and load balancing problems. The proposed scheme uses weight map that is composed with power level and mobility, to choose pre-clusterhead and construct multi-hop cluster. A clusterhead has a weight map and threshold to hand over functions of clusterhead to pre-clusterhead. As a result of simulation, our algorithm can reduce overheads and provide more load balancing well. Moreover, our scheme can maintain the proper number of clusters and cluster members regardless of topology changes.

Recently, there are tendency that wireless sensor network is one of the important techniques for the future IT industry and thereby application areas in it are getting growing. Researches based on the hierarchical network topology are evaluated in good at energy efficiency in related protocols for wireless sensor network. LEACH is the best well known routing protocol for the hierarchical topology. However, there are problems in the range of message broadcasting, which should be expand into the overall network coverage, in LEACH related protocols. Thereby, this paper proposes a new clustering scheme to solve the co-shared problems in them. The basic idea of our scheme is using the inherent memory restrictions in sensor nodes. The results show that the proposed scheme could support the load balancing by distributing the clusters with a reasonable number of member nodes and thereby the network life time would be extended in about 1.8 times longer than LEACH.

We propose UPGMA(Unweighted Pair Group Method using Average distance) as hierarchical clustering to detect abrupt shot changes using multiple features such as pixel-by-pixel difference, global and local histogram difference. Conventional $\kappa$-means algorithm which is a method of the partitional clustering, has to select an efficient initial cluster center adaptively UPGMA that we propose, does not need initial cluster center because of agglomerative algorithm that it starts from each sample for clusters. And UPGMA results in stable performance. Experiment results show that the proposed algorithm works not only well but also stably.

A new color image segmentation scheme is presented in this paper. The proposed algorithm consists of image simplification, region labeling and color clustering. The vector-valued diffusion process is performed in the perceptually uniform LUV color space. We present a discrete 3-D diffusion model for easy implementation. The statistical characteristics of each labeled region are employed to estimate the number of total clusters and agglomerative hierarchical clustering is performed with the estimated number of clusters. Since the proposed clustering algorithm counts each region as a unit, it does not generate oversegmentation along region boundaries.

This paper presents a multidimensional type inheritance indexing technique (MD-TIX) for XML databases. We use a multidimensional file organization as the index structure. In conventional XML database indexing techniques using one-dimensional index structures, they do not efficiently handle complex queries involving both nested elements and type inheritance hierarchies. We extend a two-dimensional type hierarchy indexing technique(2D-THI) for indexing the nested elements of XML databases. 2D-THI is an indexing scheme that deals with the problem of clustering elements in a two-dimensional domain space consisting of the key value domain and the type identifier domain for indexing a simple element in a type hierarchy. In our extended scheme, we handle the clustering of the index entries in a multidimensional domain space consisting of a key value domain and multiple type identifier domains that include one type identifier domain per type hierarchy on a path expression. This scheme efficiently supports queries that involve search conditions on the nested element represented by an extended path expression. An extended path expression is a path expression in which every type hierarchy on a path can be substituted by an individual type or a subtype hierarchy.
