A data stream is a massive unbounded sequence of data elements continuously generated at a rapid rate. Due to the characteristics of a data stream, it is impossible to save all the data elements of a data stream. Therefore it is necessary to define a new synopsis structure to store the summary information of a data stream. For this purpose, this paper proposes a cuboid prefix tree that can be effectively employed in evaluating an iceberg query over data streams. A cuboid prefix tree only stores those itemsets that consist of grouping attributes used in GROUP BY query. In addition, a cuboid prefix tree can compute multiple iceberg queries simultaneously by sharing their common sub-expressions. A cuboid prefix tree evaluates an iceberg query over an infinitely generated data stream while efficiently reducing memory usage and processing time, which is verified by a series of experiments.

Sequential pattern mining aims to discover interesting sequential patterns in a sequence database, and it is one of the essential data mining tasks widely used in various application fields such as Web access pattern analysis, customer purchase pattern analysis, and DNA sequence analysis. In general sequential pattern mining, only the generation order of data element in a sequence is considered, so that it can easily find simple sequential patterns, but has a limit to find more interesting sequential patterns being widely used in real world applications. One of the essential research topics to compensate the limit is a topic of weighted sequential pattern mining. In weighted sequential pattern mining, not only the generation order of data element but also its weight is considered to get more interesting sequential patterns. In recent, data has been increasingly taking the form of continuous data streams rather than finite stored data sets in various application fields, the database research community has begun focusing its attention on processing over data streams. The data stream is a massive unbounded sequence of data elements continuously generated at a rapid rate. In data stream processing, each data element should be examined at most once to analyze the data stream, and the memory usage for data stream analysis should be restricted finitely although new data elements are continuously generated in a data stream. Moreover, newly generated data elements should be processed as fast as possible to produce the up-to-date analysis result of a data stream, so that it can be instantly utilized upon request. To satisfy these requirements, data stream processing sacrifices the correctness of its analysis result by allowing some error. Considering the changes in the form of data generated in real world application fields, many researches have been actively performed to find various kinds of knowledge embedded in data streams. They mainly focus on efficient mining of frequent itemsets and sequential patterns over data streams, which have been proven to be useful in conventional data mining for a finite data set. In addition, mining algorithms have also been proposed to efficiently reflect the changes of data streams over time into their mining results. However, they have been targeting on finding naively interesting patterns such as frequent patterns and simple sequential patterns, which are found intuitively, taking no interest in mining novel interesting patterns that express the characteristics of target data streams better. Therefore, it can be a valuable research topic in the field of mining data streams to define novel interesting patterns and develop a mining method finding the novel patterns, which will be effectively used to analyze recent data streams. This paper proposes a gap-based weighting approach for a sequential pattern and amining method of weighted sequential patterns over sequence data streams via the weighting approach. A gap-based weight of a sequential pattern can be computed from the gaps of data elements in the sequential pattern without any pre-defined weight information. That is, in the approach, the gaps of data elements in each sequential pattern as well as their generation orders are used to get the weight of the sequential pattern, therefore it can help to get more interesting and useful sequential patterns. Recently most of computer application fields generate data as a form of data streams rather than a finite data set. Considering the change of data, the proposed method is mainly focus on sequence data streams.

A data stream which is a massive unbounded sequence of data elements continuously generated at a rapid rate. Many recent research activities for emerging applications often need to deal with the data stream. Such applications can be web click monitoring, sensor data processing, network traffic analysis. telephone records and multi-media data. For this. data processing over a data stream are not performed on the stored data but performed the newly updated data with pre-registered queries, and then return a result immediately or periodically. Recently, many studies are focused on dealing with a data stream more than a stored data set. Especially. there are many researches to optimize continuous queries in order to perform them efficiently. This paper proposes a query optimization algorithm to manage continuous query which has multiple join operators(Multi-way join) over data streams. It is called by an Extended Greedy query optimization based on a greedy algorithm. It defines a join cost by a required operation to compute a join and an operation to process a result and then stores all information for computing join cost and join cost in the statistics catalog. To overcome a weak point of greedy algorithm which has poor performance, the algorithm selects the set of operators with a small lay, instead of operator with the smallest cost. The set is influenced the accuracy and execution time of the algorithm and can be controlled adaptively by two user-defined values. Experiment results illustrate the performance of the EGA algorithm in various stream environments.

In realizing ubiquitous computing, techniques of efficiently using the limited resource at client such as mobile devices are required. With a mobile device with limited amount of memory, the techniques of XML stream query processing should be employed to process queries over a large volume of XML data. Recently, several techniques were proposed which fragment XML documents into XML fragments and stream them for query processing at client. During query processing, there could be great difference in resource usage (query processing time and memory usage) depending on how the source XML documents are fragmented. As such, an efficient fragmentation technique is needed. In this paper, we propose an XML fragmentation technique whereby resource efficiency in query processing at client could be enhanced. For this, we first present a cost model of query processing over XML fragment stream. Then, we propose an algorithm for resource-efficient XML fragmentation. Through implementation and experiments, we showed that our fragmentation technique outperformed previous techniques both in processing time and memory usage. The contribution of this paper is to have made the techniques of query processing over XML fragment stream more feasible for practical use.

In stream data processing system, generally the interval queries are in advance registered in the system. When a data is input to the system continuously, for realtime processing, a query indexing method is used to quickly search queries. Thus, a main memory-based query index with a small storage cost and a fast search time is needed for searching queries. In this paper, we propose a LVC-based(Limited Virtual Construct-based) query index method using a hashing to meet the both needs. In LVC-based query index, we divide the range of a stream into limited virtual construct, or LVC. We map each interval query to its corresponding LVC and the query ID is stored on each LVC. We have compared with the CEI-based query indexing method through the simulation experiment. When the range of values of input stream is broad and there are many short interval queries, the LVC-based indexing method have shown the performance enhancement for the storage cost and search time.

In order to realize ubiquitous computing, it is essential to efficiently use the resources and the computing power of mobile devices. Among others, memory efficiency, energy efficiency, and processing efficiency are required in executing the softwares embedded in mobile devices. In this paper, query processing over XML data in a mobile device where resources are limited is addressed. In a device with limited amount of memory, the techniques of XML. stream query processing need to be employed to process queries over a large volume of XML data Recently, a technique Galled XFrag was proposed whereby XML data is fragmented with the hole-filler model and streamed in fragments for processing. With XFrag, query processing is possible in the mobile device with limited memory without reconstructing the XML data out of its fragment stream. With the hole-filler model, however, memory efficiency is not high because the additional information on holes and fillers needs to be stored. In this paper, we propose a new technique called XFLab whereby XML data is fragmented with the XML labeling scheme which is for representing the structural relationship in XML data, and streamed in fragments for processing. Through implementation and experiments, XML showed that our XFLab outperformed XFrag both in memory usage and processing time.

A data stream is a series of tuples which are generated in real-time, incessant, immense, and volatile manner. As new information technologies are actively emerging, stream processing methods are being needed to efficiently handle data streams. Especially, finding out an efficient evaluation for a multi-way join would make outstanding contributions toward improving the performance of a data stream management system because a join operation is one of the most resource-consuming operators for evaluating queries. In this paper, in order to evaluate efficiently a multi-way join continuous query, we propose a novel method to decrease the cost of a query by eliminating unsuccessful intermediate results. For this, we propose a matrix-based structure for monitoring data streams and estimate the number of final result tuples of the query and find out unsuccessful tuples by matrix multiplication operations. And then using these information, we process efficiently a multi-way join continuous query by filtering out the unsuccessful tuples in advance before actual evaluation of the query.

In wireless and mobile environments, data broadcasting is recognized as an effective way for data dissemination due to its benefits to bandwidth efficiency, energy-efficiency, and scalability. In this paper, we address the problem of delayed query processing raised by tree-based index structures in wireless broadcast environments, which increases the access time of the mobile clients. We propose a novel distributed index structure and a clustering strategy for streaming XML data which enable energy and latency-efficient broadcast of XML data. We first define the DIX node structure to implement a fully distributed index structure which contains tag name, attributes, and text content of an element as well as its corresponding indices. By exploiting the index information in the DIX node stream, a mobile client can access the wireless stream in a shorter latency. We also suggest a method of clustering DIX nodes in the stream, which can further enhance the performance of query processing over the stream in the mobile clients. Through extensive performance experiments, we demonstrate that our approach is effective for wireless broadcasting of XML data and outperforms the previous methods.

Infants communicate their feelings and needs to the outside world through non-verbal methods such as crying and displaying diverse facial expressions. However, inexperienced parents tend to decode these non-verbal messages incorrectly and take inappropriate actions, which might affect the bonding they build with their babies and the cognitive development of the newborns. In this paper, we propose an aural-visual two-stream based infant cry recognition system to help parents comprehend the feelings and needs of crying babies. The proposed system first extracts the features from the pre-processed audio and video data by using the VGGish model and 3D-CNN model respectively, fuses the extracted features using a fully connected layer, and finally applies a SoftMax function to classify the fused features and recognize the corresponding type of cry. The experimental results show that the proposed system classification exceeds 0.92 in F1-score, which is 0.08 and 0.10 higher than the single-stream aural model and single-stream visual model.
