Wireless broadcast environments has character that a number of mobile client can receive data streaming from central server no matter how they are so many. Because it is asymmetric bandwidth in that uplink and downlink bandwidth are different. This advantage helps wireless broadcast environments is used in many applications. These applications work almost read operation and need control concurrency using transaction unit. Previous concurrency control scheme in single channel is not adapted in multi channel environments because consistency of data are broken when a mobile client tunes in a broadcast cycle in a channel and then move into another channel and listen to different broadcast cycle with already accessed broadcast cycle. In this paper, we propose concurrency control for read-only mobile transactions in multiple wireless broadcast channel. First of all, we adapt index and data dedicated channel and propose LBCPC(Longest Broadcast Cycle Per Channel) as new unit of consistency. In index dedicated channel, it is repeatedly broadcasted data in same BCPC(Broadcast Cycle Per Channel) until LBCPC. And mobile transaction executes validation using control information every LBCPC. As a result, consistency of data is kept and average response time is shorter than one in single channel because waiting time for restart reduces. And as control information is broadcasted more frequently than in single channel, it is guaranteed currency about data accessed by transaction. Finally, according to the simulation result, we verify performance of our scheme in multi channel as comparing average response time with single channel.

Most of large-scale distributed file systems decouple a metadata operation from read and write operations for a file. In the distributed file systems, a certain server named a metadata server (MDS) maintains metadata information in file system such as access information for a file, the position of a file in the repository, the namespace of the file system, and so on. But, the existing systems used restrictive metadata management schemes, because most of the distributed file systems designed to focus on the distributed management and the input/output performance of data rather than the metadata. Therefore, in the existing systems, the metadata throughput and expandability of the metadata server are limited. In this paper, we propose a new non-shared metadata management scheme in order to provide the high metadata throughput and scalability for a cluster of MDSs. First, we derive a dictionary partitioning scheme as a new metadata distribution technique. Then, we present a load balancing technique based on the distribution technique. It is shown through various experiments that our scheme outperforms existing metadata management schemes in terms of scalability and load balancing.

The most representative approach for efficient storing of XML data is to store XML data in relational databases. The merit of this approach is that it can easily accept the realistic status that most data are still stored in relational databases. This approach needs to convert XML data into relational data or relational data into XML data. The most important issue in the translation is to reflect structural and semantic relations of RDB to XML schema model exactly. Many studies have been done to resolve the issue, but those methods have several problems: Not cover structural semantics or just support explicit referential integrity relations. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for extracting implicit referential integrities automatically. We also design and implement the suggested algorithm, and execute comparative evaluations using translated XML documents. The proposed algorithm provides several good points such as improving semantic information extraction and conversion, securing sufficient referential integrity of the target databases, and so on. By using the suggested algorithm, we can guarantee not only explicit referential integrities but also implicit referential integrities of the initial relational schema model completely. That is, we can create more exact XML schema model through the suggested algorithm.

The mobile computing service market is increasing rapidly due to the development of low-cost wireless network technology and the high-performance mobile computing devices. In recent years, several methods have been proposed to effectively deal with restrictions of the mobile computing environment such as limited bandwidth, frequent disconnection and short-lived batteries. Amongst those methods, much study is being done on the caching method - among the data transmitted from a mobile support station, it selects those that are likely to be accessed in the near future and stores them in the local cache of a mobile host. Existing cache replacement methods have some limitations in efficiency because they do not take into consideration the characteristics of user mobility and spatial attributes of geographical data. In this paper, we show that the value and the semantic of the data, which are stored in the cache of a mobile host, changes according to the movement of the mobile host. We argue it is because data that are geographically near are better suited to provide an answer to a users query in the mobile environment. Also, we define spatial location of geographical data has effect on, using the spatial attributes of data. Finally, we propose two new cache replacement methods that efficiently support user mobility and spatial attributes of data. One is based on the location of data and the other on the meaningful region of data. From the comparative analysis of the previous methods and that they improve the cache hit ratio. Also we show that performance varies according to data density using this, we argue different cache replacement methods are required for regions with varying density of data.

The Hippocratic database model recently proposed by Agrawal et at. incorporates privacy protection capabilities into relational databases. The authors have subsequenty proposed the Hippocratic XML daかabase model[4], an extension of the Hippocratic database model for XML databases. In this paper, we propose a new concept that we cail the dynamic predicate(DP) for effective access control in the Hippocratic XML database model. A DP is a novel concept that represents a dynamically constructed rendition that tan be adapted for determining the accessibility of elements during query execution. DPs allow us to effectively integrate authorization checking into the query plan so that unauthorized elements are excluded in the process of query execution. Using synthetic and real data, we have performed extensive experiments comparing query processing time with those of existing access control mechanisms. The results show that the proposed access control mechanism improves the wall clock time by up to 219 times over the top-down access control strategy and by up to 499 times over the bottom-up access control strategy. The major contribution of our, paper is enabling effective integration of access control mechanisms with the query plan using the DP under the Hippocratic XML database model.

Many metadata registry management systems have been developed, which are based on ISO/IEC ll179. However, they do not follow the international standard, ISO/IEC ll179 nor provide some of mandatory functions. It is difficult to a develop metadata registry management system for domestic environment because of their hidden implementations. The goals of this paper are to solve the problems of the existing systems and to develop a metadata registry management systems for accumulation of primitive technologies. This paper also shows the metadata registry building process for the science and technology information field using the developed system. This system consists of Metadata Registry Layer, Core Component Layer, Extension Layer, and Service Interface Layer. The developed metadata registry management system follows ISO/IEC ll179 and contains mandatory functions for practical use. Therefore, it can be used as a guideline for building metadata registries and a development process of metadata registry management systems. We can easily reuse its components for development of metadata registry management systems in various fields because the system is designed and implemented based on the component-based development methodology. It also decreases time and cost for developing systems.

Advances in information and communication technologies have been creating new classes of applications in the area of databases. For example, in moving object databases, which track positions of a lot of objects, or stream databases, which process data streams from a lot of sensors, data Processed in such database systems are usually changed very rapidly and continuously. However, traditional database systems have a problem in processing these rapidly and continuously changing data because they suppose that a data item stored in the database remains constant until It is explicitly modified. The problem becomes more serious in the R-tree, which is a typical index structure for multidimensional data, because modifying data in the R-tree can generate cascading node splits or merges. To process frequent updates more efficiently, we propose a novel update technique for the R-tree, which we call the leaf-update technique. If a new value of a data item lies within the leaf MBR that the data item belongs, the leaf-update technique changes the leaf node only, not whole of the tree. Using this leaf-update manner and the leaf-access hash table for direct access to leaf nodes, the proposed technique can reduce update cost greatly. In addition, the leaf-update technique can be adopted in diverse variants of the R-tree and various applications that use the R-tree since it is based on the R-tree and it guarantees the correctness of the R-tree. In this paper, we prove the effectiveness of the leaf-update techniques theoretically and present experimental results that show that our technique outperforms traditional one.

최근 이동 객체의 위치 데이타를 활용한 위치 찾기 서비스, 교통 정보 서비스, 모바일 광고 서비스와 같은 LBS가 활성화되고 있다. 그러나, 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경이 발전함에 따라 위치를 비롯한 다양한 데이타를 획득하기 위한 센서의 종류가 다양해지고, 획득하는 데이타가 많아졌다. 이로 인해 기존에 제시된 특정 위치 인식 시스템만을 고려한 이동 객체관리 시스템을 활용할 경우 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서 효율적으로 LBS를 지원하기가 쉽지 않다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서 이동 객체의 특성을 살펴보고, 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서의 데이타 관리 기법을 연구하였다. 그리고, 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서 LBS를 위해 대용량으로 발생하는 이동 객체의 위치 데이타는 물론 다양한 센서의 데이타를 효율적으로 관리할 수 있는 이동 객체 관리 아키텍처를 제시하였다. 마지막으로, 본 논문에서 제시한 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서 LBS를 위한 이동 객체 관리 아키텍처의 활용에 대해 살펴본다.

중복데이타 서버(replication server) 는 자주 사용되는 데이타의 부분 또는 전부를 뷰 형태로 여러 지역에 중복하여 저장함으로써 최종 사용자가 원하는 데이터에 빨리 접근할 수 있도록 해준다. 또한 기본 테이블의 변화된 내용을 주기적으로 뷰에 반영함으로써 데이타 동시성의 문제를 완화하며 통신량을 감소시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 기본 테이블에 일어난 변화를 저장뷰(materialized view)에 반영시켜주기 위해 테이블 전체를 읽는 방식을 피하고 일정기간 동안 테이블에 일어난 변화가 기록된 로그(log)를 이용하는 디프런셜 갱신(differential update) 방법을 사용한다. 이 방법은 테이블의 잠금(locking) 을 피함으로 시스템의 성능을 향상시 킬 수 있다. 또한 갱신에 관련된 통신량을 최소화하기 위한 기법들을 제안한다. 위의 방법을 이용하여 분산 상황에서 조인 저장뷰(join materialized view)의 갱신을 효과적으로 지원해 주는 중복데이타 서버(replication server)의 구조에 관해 연구한다.
