Today's manufacturing environment is becoming a distributed manufacturing process in which a unique and specialized technological background is required in specific domains rather than having a single company execute all the manufacturing processes. This phenomenon is especially true in the automotive industry, where the sharing of product data between companies is rampant; however, this kind of interoperability causes many problems. When each company has its own method of managing product data, the sharing of product data in a distributed environment is a major problem. A data translator module or a data mapping module had to be developed for the exchange of data in heterogeneous systems of product data management (PDM); moreover, this type of module must be continually changed and improved due to the fact that PDM systems change for many reasons. In addition, the growth in corporate partnerships deepens the burden of developing and maintaining this module and creates further data exchange problems due to the increasing complexity of the system. This paper introduces a way of exchanging product data among heterogeneous PDM systems through the use of OpenPDM, which is a kind of virtual data warehouse. The implementation of a PDM integrating system is also discussed with respect to the requirement for a logical integration of product data which are physically distributed.

The usability of the Internet including WWW (World Wide Web) is dramatically growing in current business environment. These allow decision makers to enhance the productivity of decision making by referring valuable information in the remote sites, This paper presents the possibilities how WWW can be applied to build distributed and collaborative DSS, especially model management subsystem. A framework of Internet-based DSS is delineated, and then an idea of representing and managing models in the Internet-based DSS is suggested.

The widespread usage of blockchain technology in cryptocurrencies has led to the adoption of the blockchain concept in data storage management systems for secure and effective data storage and management. Several innovative studies have proposed solutions that integrate blockchain with distributed databases. In this article, we review current blockchain databases, then focus on two well-known blockchain databases-BigchainDB and FalconDB-to illustrate their architecture and design aspects in more detail. BigchainDB is a distributed database that integrates blockchain properties to enhance immutability and decentralization as well as a high transaction rate, low latency, and accurate queries. Its architecture consists of three layers: the transaction layer, consensus layer, and data model layer. FalconDB, on the other hand, is a shared database that allows multiple clients to collaborate on the database securely and efficiently, even if they have limited resources. It has two layers: the authentication layer and the consensus layer, which are used with client requests and results. Finally, a comparison is made between the two blockchain databases, revealing that they share some characteristics such as immutability, low latency, permission, horizontal scalability, decentralization, and the same consensus protocol. However, they vary in terms of database type, concurrency mechanism, replication model, cost, and the usage of smart contracts.

A stores management software which is embedded in the stores management system requires high-level reliability and real-time processing. It also required to implement and verify protocols which requires timing constraints to control various weapons. In this paper, we propose design methodology to design a stores management software and its support middleware based on the TMO (Time-triggered Message-triggered Object) model.

In distributed database systems materialized views are useful to solve many problems caused by data replication. This paper deals with the problem of updating materialized views incluing join operations. We use a differential update which uses logs that record the change of base tables in certain periods. This method avoids locking of the base tables so that it makes the system more efficient. We update materialized views periodically to save the updating cost envolved. A screen test is applied to differential files to eliminate tuples that are irrelevant to any of the views being updated. Using these methods, a detailed procedure is addressed to refresh materialized views. Then we show that our update procedure performs better than a semijoin approach.

Object caching is a desirable feature to improve the both scalability and performance of distributed application systems for information infrastructure, the information management system leveraging the power of network computing. However, in order to exploit such benefits, we claim that the following problems: cache server placement, cache replacement, and cache synchronization, should be considered when designing any object cache system. We are under developing DOC: a Distributed Object Caching, as a part of building our information infrastructures. In this paper, we show how each problem is inter-related, and focus to highlight how we handle cache server deployment problem

Distributed systems offer environments for attaining high performance, fault-tolerance, information sharing, resource sharing, etc. But we cannot benefit from these potential advantages without suitable management of events/states occurring in distributed systems. These events and states can be symptoms for performance degradation, erroneous functions, suspicious activities, etc. and are subject to further analysis. To properly manage events/states, we need to be able to specify and efficiently detect these events/states. In this paper we first describe an event/state specification language and a centralized algorithm for detecting events/states specified with this language. Then we describe an algorithm for distributing an event/state detection task in a distributed system which is hierarchically organized. The algorithm consists of decomposing an event/state detection task into subtasks and allocation these subtasks to the proper nodes. We also explain a method to make the distributed detection fault-tolerant.

In this paper, we develop an integrated management/monitoring system that supports to dynamically reconfigure information models for systems or applications managed by heterogeneous distributed systems. When the subsystems on diverse platforms are added, removed, or modified, the altered configurations should conform to the configuration information of the integrated management/monitoring system. Further, upon the system configurations being changed, the altered system configurations should be synchronized with the information on the integrated management/monitoring system. Moreover, availability should be assured during synchronization to the extent that users can access the monitoring information with no system halting. This paper focuses on notifying the integrated management/monitoring system of any changes in hardware/software configurations on any subsystems under its management, and on dynamically re-configuring the information about hardware and software being managed based on the information notified. Finally, we expect that this research will be contributory to carrying out reliable integrated management by reflecting the information on any heterogeneous distributed systems in the integrated management/monitoring system.
