Frequent disconnection is connected directly to client's cache consistency problem in Mobile Computing environment. For solving cache consistency problem, research about Invalidation Report is studied. But, existent invalidation report structure comes with increase of size of invalidation report structure and decline of cache efficiency if quantity of data become much, or quantity of updated data increases. Also, while existent method confirms whole cache, invalidation report doesn't support selective listening. This paper proposes TTCI(Timestamp Tree-based Cache Invalidation scheme) as invalidation report structure that solve problem of these existing schemes and improve efficiency. We can make TTCI using timestamp of updated data, composing timestamp tree and list ID of data in updated order. If we utilize this, each client can confirm correct information in point that become own disconnecting and increase cache utilization ratio. Also, we can pare down client's resources consumption by selective listening using tree structure. We experimented in comparison with DRCI(Dual-Report Cache Invalidation) that is existent techniques to verify such efficiency of TTCI scheme.

이동 통신 기술의 발전으로, 이동컴퓨팅 환경에서의 데이타 서비스에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있다. 이동 호스트 내에 캐쉬가 존재할 경우, 대역폭의 절약 및 빠른 응답시간을 제공할 수 있지만, 캐쉬 일관성을 유지해야하는 부담이 생긴다. 한 셀 내에 존재하는 수 많은 이동 호스트들의 캐쉬 일관성 유지를 위해서 서버(MSS)가 캐쉬 무효화 보고를 일정시간마다 주기적으로 방송하는 방법은 효과적일 수 있다. 기존에 제시된 무효화 보고에서는 갱신된 데이타의 식별자가 사용되지만, 좀 더 적은 양의 대역폭을 소모하는 효율적인 무효화 보고가 되기 위해서는 데이타들을 그룹핑할 수 있는 방안이 연구되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 서버의 데이타베이스를 데이타의 식별자 값을 기준으로 여러 구역으로 나누었을 때, 데이타의 갱신이 데이타베이스 내 인근 구역에서 많이 발생할 경우, 이진 트리를 기반으로 하여 효율적인 무효화 보고를 생성하는 방법을 제안하고 그 성능을 평가한다.

In stateless server, if an asynchronous cache invalidation scheme attempts to support local processing of read-only transaction in mobile client/sever database systems, a critical problem may occur ; the asynchronous invalidation reports provide no guarantees of waiting time for mobile transactions requesting commit. To solve this problem, the server in our algorithm broadcasts two kind of messages, asynchronous invalidation report to reduce transaction latency and periodic guide message to avoid the uncertainty of waiting time for the next invalidation report. The asynchronous invalidation report has its own sequence number and the periodic guide message has the sequence number of the most recently broadcast asynchronous invalidation report. A mobile client checks its cache validity by using the sequence numbers of these messages.

최근 이동 컴퓨터(Mobile Computing)환경에서의 잦은 접속 단절로 인한 클라이언트 캐시 일관성(Consistency) 문제를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 클라이언트 캐시 유지에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이러한 캐시 유지 방법의 한 분야로서 캐시 데이터의 일관성 문제를 해결하기 위한 무효화 보고(Invalidation Report, IR)에 대한 연구가 진행 중이다. 그러나 기존의 무효화보고는 시간 의존적인 정보로써 전송되기 이전 일정 시간동안의 서버 업데이트 정보만을 포함한다. 따라서 서버의업데이트 정도와 무관하게 일정 시간 이상의 클라이언트 접속 단절에 대하여 클라이언트의 캐시 일관성을 유지하지 못한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 시간 의존적 정보를 가지는 무효화 보고와 서버의 업데이트 정도에 따른 무효화 보고를 함께 사용하여 클라이어트의 접속 단절 시간과는 무관하게 서버의 업데이트 정도에 따라 캐시 일관성을 유지할 수 있는 효율적인 기법을 제안한다.

Recently, there have been many research efforts reported in the literature that focus on the cache consistency problems of mobile clients resulting from their frequent disconnections with a server in mobile environments. To cope with this problem, a number of methods based on the invalidation report scheme has been proposed. However, these proposed methods are sensitive to the disconnection time of mobile clients and independent of the frequency of data updates in the server. As a result, although the number of data updated in the server is small, the traditional methods can not guarantee the cache consistency of mobile clients if their disconnection time is over the time period the invalidation report is allowed to cover. In this paper, we propose an efficient cache consistency method called CCI(Cost-based Cache Invalidation) for mobile clients that take into account not only the disconnection time but also the frequencies of data updates in the server We also present an in-depth experimental analysis by comparing CCI method with BT(Broadcasting Time stamp) method based on Invalidation Report.

In mobile computing environments, a mobile host caches the data items to use the bandwidth efficiently and improve the response time of transactions. If the data items cached in mobile host are updated in the server, the server broadcasts an invalidation report for maintaining the cache consistency of mobile hosts. However, this method has a problem that the response time of mobile transactions can be long since their commit decision is delayed until receiving the invalidation report from the server In this paper, we propose the USR-MT method for improving the response time of mobile transactions. As the UGR-MT method can make a commit decision by using the data group information before receiving the invalidation report, the response time of mobile transactions can be improved. Also our method can improve the cache's efficiency since it prevents all the contents of a cache from being invalidated in the case that the disconnection of a mobile host is longer than the broadcast period of invalidation report.

There are two policies for maintaining consistency among the multiple processor caches in a multiprocessor system: Write invalidate and Write update. In the write invalidate policy, whenever a processor attempt to write its cached block, it has to invalidate all the same copies of the updated block in the system. As a results of this frequent invalidations, this policy results in high cache miss ratio. On the other hand, the write update policy renew them, instead of invalidating all the same copies. This policy has to transfer the updated contents through interconnection network, whether the updated block is ptivate or not. Therefore the network suffer from heavy transaction traffic. In this paper we present an efficient cache coherence protocol for shared memory multiprocessor system connected by slotted ring. This protocol is based on the write update policy, but the updated contents are transferred only in case of updating the shared block. Otherwise, if the updated block is private, the updated contents are not transferred. We analyze the proposed protocol and enforce simulation to compare it with previous version.

In mobile computing environments, invalidation and propagation method based on broadcasting is used to transmit the information for cache maintenance of mobile hosts. Previous researches generally adopted invalidation method that easily adapts to the limited network bandwidth and the frequent disconnection. But the invalidation of frequently accessed data causes the contention on the wireless network with the increasing cache requests. Although the propagation method can reduce the cache requests, the high probability of broken message or loss of message is the main factor that degrades the system performance. To resolve these problems, we propose adaptive cache maintenance scheme that dynamically adjusts the broadcasting ratio of invalidation and propagation, according to the wireless network connection states. The proposed scheme broadcasts the propagation message in stable connection state, so it can reduce the cache requests and server response time. With the decreasing available network bandwidth by the frequent partial disconnection and disconnection, the proposed scheme dynamically increases the broadcasting ratio of the invalidation messages to minimize the broken message or the loss of message probability. Consequently, the proposed scheme resolves the problems which arise in the invalidation or propagation method in mobile computing environments.

이동 컴퓨팅 환경에서 이동 호스트는 가능한 한 제한된 대역폭의 사용을 줄이고 이동 트랜잭션의 응답 시간을 향상시키기 위하여 캐쉬를 사용한다. 그리고 지구국에서는 이동 호스트의 캐쉬 일관성을 유지하기 위하여 주기적으로 갱신 정보로 구성된 무효화 보고서를 방송한다. 그러나 주기적인 무효화 보고서를 사용한 이동 호스트의 캐쉬 일관성 유지 방법은 이동 트랜잭션의 직렬가능 한 수행을 보장하기 위하여 이동 트랜잭션의 완료 결정을 지연한다는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 캐슁된 데이터를 이용하여 이동 트랜잭션을 수행하는 경우 이동 트랜잭션의 직렬가능 한 수행을 보장하는 CCM-DI 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 CCM-DI 방법은 지구국에서 이동호스트에게 방송한 데이터와 갱신된 데이터와의 교집합을 구하여 공통되는 데이터를 방송함으로써 이동 트랜잭션의 직렬가능 한 수행을 보장한다. 또한 제안하는 CCM-DI 방법은 지구국에서 주기적으로 방송하는 무효화 보고서의 크기를 줄일 수 있다.
