In this paper, we first address the problems associated with indexing and searching for reduced-dimensional vectors, which are reduced by using a combination of angle approximation and dimension grouping. Then, we propose a novel method to solve the problems. We also show the superiority of the proposed method by performing extensive experiments with synthetic and real-life data sets.

Since the data collected at a sensor node is the stream data, for processing efficiently user queries, the query index should be constructed at each node. To construct the minimized query index at the node, it is required to reduce the number of query constraints inserted into the query index. In this paper, we propose the scheme of the query constraints distribution using the multi-dimensional data index in order to diminish the number of the inserted query constraints.

This paper proposes a design for efficient and accurate retrieval of similar image subsequences using the multi-dimensional time warping distance as similarity evaluation tool in image sequence database after building of two indexing structures implemented with priority queue and suffix tree respectively. Receiving query image sequence, at first step, the proposed method searches the candidate set of similar image subsequences in priory queue index structure. If it can not get satisfied results, it retrieves another candidate set in suffix tree index structure at second step. The using of the low-bound distance function can remove the dissimilar subsequence without false dismissals during similarity evaluating process between query image sequence and stored sequences in two index structures.

본 논문에서는 기존의 밀도 기반 전지 클러스터링 알고리즘의 성능을 개선한 밀도 기반 클러스터링의 근사적 접근법을 제안한다. 기존의 밀도 기반 전지 알고리즘은 다차원 색인의 많은 검색 공간을 빠르게 전지하면서도 원하는 클러스터를 정확히 찾아내는 특징을 가지고 있다. 그러나 기존 알고리즘은 전지를 위한 한계 값 설정을 위하여 단말 영역들의 밀도 값을 사용함으로써, 내부 영역에 속한 단말 영역들 간의 밀도 편차가 큰 경우 전지 여부에 대한 판별이 빨리 이루어지지 않는다. 또한, 최악의 경우에는 모든 단말 페이지를 검색하여야 하고, 이에 따라 성능이 저하될 수 있다. 반면에 제안하는 근사적 접근법에서는 한계 값 설정을 위해 단말 영역이 아닌 내부 영역의 밀도 값을 사용한다. 일반적으로, 내부 영역들 간의 밀도 편차는 단말 영역들 간의 밀도 편차보다 크지 않으므로, 근사 밀도 기반 전지 알고리즘에서는 더욱 많은 검색 공간의 전지 여부의 빨리 판별할 수 있게 된다. 성능 평가 실험을 수행한 결과, 제안한 알고리즘은 기존의 알고리즘과 비교하여 정확성 측면에서는 큰 차이가 없는 반면 수행 시간 측면에서는 최대 $17\%$의 성능 향상 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

With the proliferation of multimedia data, there is an increasing need to support the indexing and retrieval of high-dimensional image data. Although there have been many efforts, the performance of existing multidimensional indexing methods is not satisfactory in high dimensions. Thus the dimensionality reduction and the approximate solution methods were tried to deal with the so-called dimensionality curse. But these methods are inevitably accompanied by the loss of precision of query results. Therefore, recently, the vector approximation-based methods such as the VA- file and the LPC-file were developed to preserve the precision of query results. However, the performance of the vector approximation-based methods depend largely on the size of the approximation file and they lose the advantages of the multidimensional indexing methods that prune much search space. In this paper, we propose a new index structure called the GC-tree for efficient similarity search in image databases. The GC-tree is based on a special subspace partitioning strategy which is optimized for clustered high-dimensional images. It adaptively partitions the data space based on a density function and dynamically constructs an index structure. The resultant index structure adapts well to the strongly clustered distribution of high-dimensional images.

The I/O performance for spatial queries is extremely important since the handling of huge amount of multidimensional data is required in spatial databases for geographic information systems. Therefore, we describe representative spatial access methods handling complex spatial objects, z-transform B tree, KDB tree, R tree, MAX tree, to increase I/O performance. In addition, we measure the performance of spatial indexing schemes by testing against various realistic data and query sets. Results from the benchmark test indicates that MAX outperforms other indexing schemes on insertion, range query, spatial join. MAX tree is expected to use as index scheme organizing storage system of GIS in the future.

A spatial data warehouse has spatial data cube composed of multi-dimensional data for efficient OLAP(On-Line Analytical Processing) operations. A spatial data cube supporting concept hierarchies holds huge amount of data so that many researches have studied a incremental update method for minimum modification of a spatial data cube. The Cube, however, compressed by eliminating prefix and suffix redundancy has coalescing paths that cause update inconsistencies for some updates can affect the aggregate value of coalesced cell that has no relationship with the update. In this paper, we propose incremental batch update method of a spatial data cube. The proposed method uses duplicated nodes and extended node structure to avoid update inconsistencies. If any collision is detected during update procedure, the shared node is duplicated and the duplicate is updated. As a result, compressed spatial data cube that includes concept hierarchies can be updated incrementally with no inconsistency. In performance evaluation, we show the proposed method is more efficient than other naive update methods.

This paper presents a two-dimensional type inheritance hierarchy index(2D-THI) for XML databases. XML Schema is one of schema models for the XML documents supporting. The type inheritance. The conventional indexing techniques for XML databases can not support XML queries on type inheritance hierarchies. We construct a two-dimensional index structure using multidimensional file organizations for supporting type inheritance hierarchy in XML queries. This indexing technique deals with the problem of clustering index entries in the two-dimensional domain space that consists of a key element domain and a type identifier domain based on the user query pattern. This index enhances query performance by adjusting the degree of clustering between the two domains. For performance evaluation, we have compared our proposed 2D-THI with the conventional class hierarchy indexing techniques in object-oriented databases such as CH-index and CG-tree through the cost model. As the result of the performance evaluations, we have verified that our proposed two-dimensional type inheritance indexing technique can efficiently support the query Processing in XML databases according to the query types.

Existing bulk loading algorithms for multi-dimensional index structures suffer from satisfying both index construction time and retrieval perfonnancc. In this paper, we propose an efficient bulk loading algorithm to construct high dimensional index structures for large data set that overcomes the problem. Although several bulk loading algorithms have been proposed for this purpose, none of them improve both constnlCtion time and search performance. To improve the construction time, we don't sort whole data set and use bisectiou algorithm that divides the whole data set or a subset into two partitions according to the specific pivot value. Also, we improve the search performance by selecting split positions according to the distribution properties of the data set. We show that the proposed algorithm is superior to existing algorithms in terms of construction time and search perfomlance through various experiments.

In this paper, we design and implement an efficient bulk-loading algorithm for CIR-Tree. Bulk-loading techniques increase node utilization, improve query performance and reduce index construction time. The CIR-tree has variable size of internal node entries since it only maintains minimal dimensions to decriminate child nodes. This property increases fan-out of internal nodes and improves search performance. Even though several bulk-loading algorithms for multi/high-dimensional index structures have been proposed, we cannot apple them to CIR-tree because of the variable size of internal node entries. In this paper, we propose an efficient bulk- loading algorithm for CIR-tree that improves the existing bulk-loading algorithm and accomodates the property of CIR-tree. We also implement it on a storage system MiDAS-III and show superiority of our algorithm through various experiments.
