Object-oriented databases (OODBs) have been adopted for managing non-standard applications such as computer-aided design (CAD), office document management and many multimedia applications. One of the major characteristics of OODBs is class hierarchy where a subclass is allowed to inherit the definitions defined on its superclasses. In this paper, I present the evaluation metrics for class hierarchy quality in OODBs. These metrics are developed to determine if a concurrency control scheme can achieve good performance or not on a given class hierarchy. I first discuss the existing concurrency control schemes for OODBs. Then I provide evaluation metrics based on structural information and access frequency information in class hierarchies. In order to discuss significance of the proposed performance metrics, an analytical model is developed. Analysis results show that the performance metrics are important factor in concurrency control performance. I consider both single inheritance and multiple inheritance. The proposed metrics can be used to provide guidelines on how to design class hierarchy of an OODB for maximizing the performance of concurrency control technique.

Object-oriented databases (OODBs) canbe used for many non-traditional database application areas such as computer-aided design, etc. Usually those application areas require advanced modeling power for expressing complicated relationships among data sets. OODBs have more distinguished features than the traditional relational database systems. One of the distinguished characteristics of OODBs is class hierarchy (also called inheritance hierarchy). A class hierarchy in an OODB means that a class can hand down the definitions of the class to the subclass of the class. In other words, a class is allowed to inherit the definitions of the class from the superclass. In this paper, we present performance evaluation metrics for class hierarchy in OODBs from a concurrency control perspective. The proposed performance metrics are developed to determine which concurrency control scheme in OODBs can be used for a given class hierarchy. In this study, in order to develop performance metrics, we use class hierarchy structure (both of single inheritance and multiple inheritance), and data access frequency for each class. The proposed performance metrics will be also used to compare performance evaluation for various concurrency control techniques.

In recent years, pair programming has become a widely used approach for development of information systems. According to a worldwide survey, 35 percent of 104 development projects reported using pair programming. However, previous studies have shown rather mixed results in terms of the effectiveness of pair programming, comparing to individual or independent programming. This paper, therefore, uses a lab setting to control some of the variables that appear to have caused conflicting results in earlier studies. Writing SQL Queries for given problem statements is selected as the task the subjects to solve. One key issue addressed is the distribution of work load among the pair programmers and the independent programmers. Another is communication among co-workers as would occur in a real-world system development environment. The results of this study indicate there is no significant difference in task performance pair programming and independent programming.

Multiprocessor architectures and platforms, such as, a multiprocessor system on chip (MPSoC) recently introduced to extend the applicability of the Moore's law, depend upon concurrency and synchronization in both software and hardware to enhance design productivity and system performance. With the rapidly approaching billion transistors era, some of the main problem in deep sub-micron technologies characterized by gate lengths in the range of 60-90 nm will arise from non scalable wire delays, errors in signal integrity and non-synchronized communication. These problems may be addressed by the use of Network on Chip (NOC) architecture for future System-on-Chip (SoC). We have modeled a concurrent architecture for a customizable and scalable NOC in a system level modeling environment using MLDesigner (from MLD Inc.). Varying network loads under various traffic scenarios were applied to obtain realistic performance metrics. We provide the simulation results for latency as a function of the buffer size. We have abstracted the area results for NOC components from its FPGA implementation. Modeled NOC architecture supports three different levels of quality-of-service (QoS).

홈 네트워크 시스템에서는 각각의 전자 디바이스는 제조사별로 부과된 고유한 제어 데이터 포맷들을 가지고 있으며 거기엔 다양한 디지털 디바이스와 프로토콜 타입들이 있다. 게다가 다양한 디바이스들 간에는 서로 상호 운영환경들이 상이하기까지 하다. 이와 같은 특징들로 인해 홈 네트워크 시스템은 데이터 호환, 동시 제어, 동적 플러그인과 같은 결정적인 기능들을 지원하기가 매우 어렵다. 따라서 홈 네트워크 시스템은 상대적으로 재사용성이 낮은 편이다. 본 논문에서는 홈 네트워크 시스템의 재사용성을 향상시키기 위해 가변성들을 지원할 수 있는 재구성 가능한 프레임워크 설계 기법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 홈 네트워크 시스템의 가변적인 부분들을 추출하여 이러한 가변부들을 가변성 타입들로 정의한다. 그리고 이러한 가변부들을 반영한 재구성 가능한 프레임워크의 구조를 설계하고 선택 기법과 플러그-인 기법을 통해 재구성 가능한 프레임워크를 특화시킬 수 있는 기법을 제시한다. 또한 제안된 프레임워크를 실제 홈 네트워크 시스템에 적용함으로써 재사용성과 제안된 설계 기법을 평가하고, 재사용성 평가 메트릭을 이용해서 이러한 사례 연구들의 결과를 평가하여 분석하고자 한다. 본 연구의 제안된 기법이 평가 결과를 분석한 결과 현존 시스템보다 재사용성을 보다 향상시킬 수 있음을 기대한다.
