최근, GIS 분야에서 RFID와 GPS 센서 같은 위치 및 공간 데이타를 포함하는 다양한 GeoSensor의 활용으로 수집되는 공간 데이타가 크게 증가하면서, 대용량 공간 데이타의 빠른 처리를 위한 공간 인덱스의 중요성이 높아지고 있다. 특히, 대표적인 공간 인덱스인 R-Tree를 기반으로 검색 성능을 높이기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나, 기존 연구는 R-Tree에서 노드의 MBR 간의 겹침이나 트리 높이를 어느 정도 줄임으로써 다소 검색 성능을 향상시켰지만, 트리 검색에서 발생하는 불필요한 노드 접근 비용 문제를 효율적으로 해결하지 못하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하고 R-Tree에서 대용량 공간 데이타의 빠른 검색을 제공하는 인덱스인 HR-Tree(Hash based R-Tree)를 제시한다. HR-Tree는 트리 검색 없이 R-Tree 리프 노드를 직접 접근할 수 있는 해시 테이블을 이용함으로써 R-Tree의 검색 성능을 높인다. 해시 테이블은 데이타 영역을 차원에 따라 반복적으로 분할한 Partition과 대응되는 R-Tree 리프 노드의 MBR과 포인터들로 구성된다. 각 Partition은 생성 과정에서 고유의 식별 코드를 갖기 때문에 Partition 코드가 주어지면 해시 테이블에서 해당 레코드를 쉽게 접근할 수 있다. 또한, HR-Tree는 R-Tree구조의 변경없이 다양한 R-Tree 변형 구조에 쉽게 적용할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 마지막으로 실험을 통하여 HR-Tree의 우수성을 입증하였다.

With the recent development of the ubiquitous computing technology, there are increasing interest and research in technologies such as sensors and RFID related to information recognition and location positioning in various ubiquitous fields. Especially, RTLS(Real-Time Locating Services) dealing with spatio-temporal data is emerging as a promising technology. For these reasons, the ISO/IEC published the RTLS standard specification for compatibility and interoperability in RTLS. Therefore, in this paper, we designed and implemented Spatio-temporal Query Processing Systems for efficiently managing and searching the incoming Spatio-temporal data stream of moving objects. Spatio-temporal Query Processing Systems's spatio-temporal middleware maintains interoperability among heterogeneous devices and guarantees data integrity in query processing through real time processing of unceasing spatio-temporal data streams and two way synchronization of spatio-temporal DBMSs. Web Server uses the SOAP(Simple Object Access Protocol) message between client and server for interoperability and translates client's SOAP message into CQL(Continuous Query Language) of the spatio-temporal middleware. Finally, this thesis proved the utility of the system by applying the spatio-temporal Query Processing Systems to a real-time Locating Services.

Due to the rapid development in mobile communication technologies, the usage of mobile devices such as cellular phones and PDAs becomes increasingly popular. One of the best ways to maximize the usability of mobile devices is to make them aware of their current locations and the locations of other fixed and mobile objects. In this paper, we propose a cost-effective Bus Information System, ACE-BIS, which utilizes a mobile device to retrieve the bus routes to reach a destination from the current location. To accomplish this task, ACE-BIS maintains a small amount of information on bus stops and bus routes in a mobile device and runs a heuristic routing algorithm based on such information. When a user asks more accurate route information or calls for a 'leave later query', ACE-BIS entrusts the task to a server into which real-time traffic and bus location information is being collected. By separating the roles into a mobile device and a server, ACE-BIS is able to provide bus routes at the lowest cost for wireless communications, without imposing much burden to a server. The results of extensive experiments revealed that ACE-BIS is effective and scalable in most experimental settings.

Moving objects have characteristics that they change continuously their positions over time. The movement of moving objects should be stored on trajectories for processing past queries. Moving objects databases need to provide spatio-temporal index for handling moving objects queries like combined queries. Combined queries consist of a range query selecting trajectories within a specific range and a trajectory query extracting to parts of the whole trajectory. Access methods showing good performance in range queries have a shortcoming that the cost of processing trajectory Queries is high. On the other hand, trajectory-based index schemes like the TB-tree are not suitable for range queries because of high overlaps between index nodes. This paper proposes new TR(Trajectory Riving)-tree which is revised for efficiently processing the combined queries. This index scheme has several features like the trajectory preservation, the increase of the capacity of leaf nodes, and the logical trajectory riving in order to reduce dead space and high overlap between bounding boxes of nodes. In our Performance study, the number of node access for combined queries in TR-tree is about 25% less than the STR-tree and the TB-tree.

XML has become the new standard for storing, exchanging, and publishing of data over both the internet and the ubiquitous data stream environment. As demand for efficiency in handling XML document grows, labeling scheme has become an important topic in data storage. Recently proposed labeling schemes reflect the dynamic XML environment, which itself provides motivation for the discovery of an efficient labeling scheme. However, previous proposed labeling schemes have several problems: 1) An insertion of a new node into the XML document triggers re-labeling of pre-existing nodes. 2) They need larger memory space to store total label. etc. In this paper, we introduce a new labeling scheme called a Circle Labeling Scheme. In CLS, XML documents are represented in a circular form, and efficient storage of labels is supported by the use of concepts Rotation Number and Parent Circle/Child Circle. The concept of Radius is applied to support inclusion of new nodes at arbitrary positions in the tree. This eliminates the need for re-labeling existing nodes and the need to increase label length, and mitigates conflict with existing labels. A detailed experimental study demonstrates efficiency of CLS.

Recently there is a need to store and process enormous spatial data in spatio-temporal databases. For effective query processing in spatio-temporal databases, selectivity estimation in query optimization techniques, which approximate query results when the precise answer is not necessary or early feedback is helpful, has been studied. There have been selectivity estimation techniques such as sampling-based techniques, histogram-based techniques, and wavelet-based techniques. However, existing techniques in spatio-temporal databases focused on selectivity estimation for future extent of moving objects. In this paper, we construct a new histogram, named T-Minskew, for query optimization of past spatio-temporal data. We also propose an effective selectivity estimation method using T-Minskew histogram and effective histogram maintenance technique to prevent frequent histogram reconstruction using threshold.

In a large DNA database, indexing techniques are widely used for rapid approximate sequence searching. However, most indexing techniques require a space larger than original databases, and also suffer from difficulties in seamless integration with DBMS. In this paper, we suggest a space-efficient and disk-based indexing and query processing algorithm for approximate DNA sequence searching, specially exact match queries, wildcard match queries, and k-mismatch queries. Our indexing method places a sliding window at every possible location of a DNA sequence and extracts its signature by considering the occurrence frequency of each nucleotide. It then stores a set of signatures using a multi-dimensional index, such as R*-tree. Especially, by assigning a weight to each position of a window, it prevents signatures from being concentrated around a few spots in index space. Our query processing algorithm converts a query sequence into a multi-dimensional rectangle and searches the index for the signatures overlapped with the rectangle. The experiments with real biological data sets revealed that the proposed method is at least three times, twice, and several orders of magnitude faster than the suffix-tree-based method in exact match, wildcard match, and k- mismatch, respectively.

Moving object databases manage a large amount of past location data which are accumulated as the time goes. To retrieve fast the past location of moving objects, we need index structures which consider features of moving objects. The KDB-tree has a good performance in processing range queries. Although we use the KDB-tree as an index structure for moving object databases, there has an over-split problem in the spatial domain since the feature of moving object databases is to increase the time domain. Because the over-split problem reduces spatial regions in the MBR of nodes inverse proportion to the number of splits, there has a problem that the cost for processing spatial-temporal range queries is increased. In this paper, we propose the dynamic split strategy of the KDB-tree to process efficiently the spatial-temporal range queries. The dynamic split strategy uses the space priority splitting method for choosing the split domain, the recent time splitting policy for splitting a point page to maximize the space utilization, and the last division policy for splitting a region page. We compare the performance of proposed dynamic split strategy with the 3DR-tree, the MV3R-tree, and the KDB-tree. In our performance study for range queries, the number of node access in the MKDB-tree is average 30% less than compared index structures.
