NAND 플래시 메모리는 작고, 가볍고, 저 전력이라는 장점 U문에 휴대폰, MP3, PDA 등 이동 컴퓨팅 장치의 저장소로 많이 사용되고 있다. B+트리는 저장소에 있는 데이터를 효율적으로 접근하기 위한 색인 구조이다. 그러나 NAND 플래시 메모리의 다양한 특징들로 인해 기존의 디스크 기반의 B+트리를 플래시 메모리에 그대로 적용하는데 여러 단점들이 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 NAND 플래시 메모리 상에서 B+트리를 효과적으로 구축하기 위한 B+트리 색인 버퍼 관리 기법을 제안한다.

NAND flash memory has being used for storage systems widely, because it has good features which are low-price, low-power and fast access speed. However, NAND flash memory has an in-place update problem, and therefore it needs FTL(flash translation layer) to run for applications based on hard disk storage. The FTL includes complex functions, such as address mapping, garbage collection, wear leveling and so on. Futhermore, implementation of the FTL on low-power embedded systems is difficult due to its memory requirements and operation overhead. Accordingly, many index data structures for NAND flash memory have being studied for the embedded systems. Overall performances of the index data structures are enhanced by a decreasing of page write counts, whereas it has increased page read counts, as a side effect. Therefore, we propose an index management method using a page mapping log table in $B^+$-Tree based on NAND flash memory to decrease page write counts and not to increase page read counts. The page mapping log table registers page address information of changed index node and then it is exploited when retrieving records. In our experiment, the proposed method reduces the page read counts about 61% at maximum and the page write counts about 31% at maximum, compared to the related studies of index data structures.

The HFC network has a architecture of a star topology in fiber optic trunks, and tree and branch topology is used in the part of coaxial cable. It is well known that the HFC upstream channel is noisy. Ingress, common mode distortion and impulse noise exist in the upstream channel. In order to provide Quality of Service(QoS) to users with real-time data such as voice, video and interactive services, the evolving IEEE 802.14 standard for HFC networks must include an effective priority scheme. The scheme separates and resolves collisions between stations in a priority order. It is important to simulate protocols under a practical environment. The proposed algorithm in this paper is simulated with the assumption that the collision detector made certain mistake due to noises. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is more efficient than existing tree-based algorithm under practical environment.

IP address lookup is one of the essential functions on internet routers, and it determines overall router performance. The most important evaluation factor for software-based IP address lookup is the number of the worst case memory accesses. Binary prefix tree (BPT) scheme gives small number of worst case memory accesses among previous software-based schemes. However the tree structure of BPT is normally unbalanced. In this paper, we propose weighted binary prefix tree (WBP) scheme which generates nearly balanced tree, through combining the concept of weight to the BPT generation process. The proposed WBPT gives very small number of worst case memory accesses compared to the previous software-based schemes. Moreover the WBPT requires comparably small size of memory which can be fit within L2 cache for about 30,000 prefixes, and it is rather simple for prefix addition and deletion. Hence the proposed WBPT can be used for software-based If address lookup in practical routers.

플래시 메모리 기반의 저장 시스템은 빠른 접근 속도, 작고 가벼운 특성, 저전력 소모 등의 이유로 하드 디스크를 대체하는 저장 매체로 주목 받고 있다. 플래시 메모리는 하드 디스크와 다르게 읽기 쓰기 소거 연산이 필요하며 수혈 단위와 수혈 시간 이 비대칭적이다. 또한 제자리 갱신이 불가능하기 때문에 가장 느린 소거 동작을 선행하여 갱신 연산을 수행한다. 기존 호스트 시스템은 읽기 쓰기 연산 만을 수행하기 때문에 플래시 메모리를 바로 사용하기 위해서는 별도의 소프트웨어 중간 계층인 플래시 전환 계층이 필요하다. 그러나 디스크 기반의 B-트리를 플래시 전환 계층 위에서 인덱스로 사용하면 B-트리 특성상 제자리 갱신이 빈번하게 발생하기 때문에 성능 저하가 발생한다. 따라서 플래시 메모리 특성을 고려한 새로운 인덱스 구조가 필요하게 되었다. 플래시 메모리 전용의 인덱스 ${\mu}$-트리와 LSB-트리가 제안 되었지만, ${\mu}$-트리는 페이지 관리의 비효율성, LSB-트리는 임시 노드 관리 추가 비용의 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서 ${\mu}$-트리와 LSB 트리의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 지연 갱신을 이용한 B-트리를 제안한다. 제안하는 인덱스는 변경이 일어나는 노드를 메모리에 적재시켜 데이터 삽입 시 노드 갱신을 지연시키고 노드 분할 없이 데이터의 순차 삽입을 처리하여 검색 및 쓰기 성능을 향상시킨다. 본 논문에서는 관련 연구인 ${\mu}$-트리와 LSB-트리를 수식을 통하여 제안하는 인덱스 구조의 우수성을 보인다.

NAND 플래시 메모리는 하드 디스크에 비해 작고, 빠르며, 저 전력 소모 등과 같은 장점을 가지고 있어 대체 저장 매체로 주목받고 있다. 그러나 제자리 갱신이 불가능한 특징을 가지고 있어 B-트리를 사용하면 갱신이 빈번하게 발생하여 읽기 연산에 비해 상대적으로 느린 쓰기 연산과 소거 연산이 빈번해져 시스템의 성능이 저하 된다. 이러한 성능 저하를 피하기 위해 $\mu}$-트리가 제안되었으나, 고정된 페이지 레이아웃 구조를 가지고 있어 노드 분할과 트리 신장이 빈번하게 일어난다. 본 논문에서는 NAND 플래시 메모리 상에서 B-트리 구현 시 발생하는 추가적인 쓰기 연산의 횟수를 줄이기 위해 갱신이 일어나는 단말 노드에 로그 노드를 할당하여, 갱신되는 내용을 저장한다. 따라서 부모 노드의 내용이 변경 되는 것을 늦추어 추가적인 쓰기 연산을 줄이게 되며, 순차적인 키 값의 삽입이나 일정 노드에 대한 빈번한 갱신은 로그 노드가 단말 노드로 전환되어 추가적인 쓰기 연산을 줄이게 된다. 이러한 방법으로 추가적인 쓰기 연산을 줄임으로써 시스템의 성능을 향상시키는 NAND 플래시 메모리를 위한 새로운 B-트리 구조를 제안한다.

Learning with Attribute Value Taxonomies (AVT) has shown that it is possible to construct accurate, compact and robust classifiers from a partially missing dataset (dataset that contains attribute values specified with different level of precision). Yet, in many cases AVTs are generated from experts or people with specialized knowledge in their domain. Unfortunately these user-provided AVTs can be time-consuming to construct and misguided during the AVT building process. Moreover experts are occasionally unavailable to provide an AVT for a particular domain. Against these backgrounds, this paper introduces an AVT generating method called GA-AVT-Learner, which finds a near optimal AVT with a given training dataset using a genetic algorithm. This paper conducted experiments generating AVTs through GA-AVT-Learner with a variety of real world datasets. We compared these AVTs with other types of AVTs such as HAC-AVTs and user-provided AVTs. Through the experiments we have proved that GA-AVT-Learner provides AVTs that yield more accurate and compact classifiers and improve performance in learning missing data.

In this paper, we propose an effective multicasting protocol in wireless ad-hoc networks. Conventional wired and wireless network multicast protocols do not perform well in wireless ad hoc networks because they were designed without consideration of ad hoc environments such as node mobility, limited bandwidth, high error probability. To solve this problem, some multicasting protocols for ad hoc network have been proposed in the literature. However, these protocols can not provide high packet delivery ratio, low control packet overhead and low expended bandwidth at the same time. Therefore, in this paper, we propose RTMA that improves multicasting performance in wireless ad hoc networks. RTMA calculates its current region from its position information by using GPS in order to make tree among the multicast group nodes in the same region. The proposed region-based tree method is for high packet delivery ratio, low control packet overhead when many senders send data packets. RTMA makes a reliable tree by using speed information to fill a gap of the weak points of the tree structure. When searching the routing path, RTMA selects the reliable path excluding high speed nodes.

We investigate the end-to-end delay bounds in large scale networks with Differentiated services (DiffServ) architecture. It is generally understood that networks with DiffServ architectures, where packets are treated according to the class they belong, can guarantee the end-to-end delay for packets of the highest priority class, only in lightly utilized cases. We focus on tree networks, which are defined to be acyclic connected graphs. We obtain a closed formula for delay bounds for such networks. We show that, in tree networks, the delay bounds exist regardless of the level of network utilization. These bounds are quadratically proportional to the maximum hop counts in heavily utilized networks; and are linearly proportional to the maximum hop counts in lightly utilized networks. Considering that tree networks, especially the Ethernet networks are being accepted more and more for access networks as well as provider networks, we argue that based on these delay bounds DiffServ architecture is able to support real time applications even for a large network. Throughout the paper we use Latency-Rate (LR) server model, with which it has proven that FIFO and Strict Priority are LR servers to each flows in certain conditions.

This paper proposes the multidimensioa! nested attribute indexing techniques (MD- NAI) in object-oriented databases using a multidimensional index structure. Since most conventional indexing techniques for object oriented databases use a one-dimensional index stnlcture such as the B-tree, they do not often handle complex qUlTies involving both nested attributes and class hierarchies. We extend a tunable two dimensional class hierachy indexing technique(2D-CHI) for nested attributes. The 2D-CHI is an indexing scheme that deals with the problem of clustering ohjects in a two dimensional domain space that consists of a kev attribute dOI11'lin and a class idmtifier domain for a simple attribute in a class hierachy. In our extended scheme, we construct indexes using multidimensional file organizations that include one class identifier domain per class hierarchy on a path expression that defines the indexed nested attribute. This scheme efficiently suppoI1s queries that involve search conditions on the nested attribute represcnted by an extcnded path expression. An extended path expression is a one in which a class hierarchy can be substituted by an indivisual class or a subclass hierarchy in the class hierarchy.
