As the XML data has been widely used in the Internet, it is necessary to store and retrieve the XML data by using DBMSs. However, relational DBMSs suffer from the model difference between graph structure of the XML data and table forms in relational databases. We propose an ORDBMS-based DTD-dependent XML data management system Xing. Xing stores XML data in a DTD-dependent form in an object database. Since the object database schema has a graph structure and supports multi-valued attributes, mapping from an XML data model and queries into an object data model and OQLs is a simple problem. For rapid storing of large quantities of the XML data, we use SAX parser with customized Xing-tree which requires a small memory space compared with the DOM-tree. Xing also returns the query result in an XML document form. We have implemented the Xing system on top of UniSQL object-relational DBMS for the validity checking and performance comparison. For XML genome data from GenBank, and experimental evaluation shows that Xing can provide significant performance improvement (maximum 10 times) compared with the relational approach.

In this paper, we proposed a high performance lookup controller for IP packet forwarding engine of ATM based label edge routers. The lookup controller is designed to provide services such as MPLS, VPN, ELL, and RT services as well as the best effort. For high speed searching for IP addresses, we employed a TCAM based hardware search device not using traditional algorithmic approaches. We also implement lookup control functions into FPGA for fast processing of packet header and lookup control. The proposed lookup controller is designed to support differenciated services for users and to process in pipelined mechanism for performance improvement. A two-step search scheme is also applied to perform lookup for the key combined with multi-field of packet header. We found that the proposed lookup controller provides the performance of about 16M packets per second through simulations.

The Hough transform for line detection is widely used in many machine vision applications due to its robustness against data loss and distortion. However, it is not appropriate for real-time embedded vision systems, because it has inefficient computation structure and demands a large number of memory accesses. Thus, this paper proposes an improved voting scheme of the Hough transform, and then applies this scheme to a Hough transform hardware architecture so that it can provide real-time performance with less hardware resource. The proposed voting scheme reduces computation overhead of the voting procedure using correlation between adjacent pixels, and improves computational efficiency by increasing reusability of vote values. The proposed hardware architecture, which adopts this improved scheme, maximizes its throughput by computing and storing vote values for many adjacent pixels in parallel. This parallelization for throughput improvement is accomplished with little hardware overhead compared with sequential computation.

The exponential growth of Web users requires the web serves with high expandability and reliability. It leads to the excessive transmission traffic and system overload problems. To solve these problems, cluster systems are widely studied. In conventional cluster systems, when the request size is large owing to such types as multimedia and CGI, the particular server load and response time tend to increase even if the overall loads are distributed evenly. In this paper, a cluster system is proposed where each Web server in the system has different contents and loads are distributed efficiently using the Web server resource information such as CPU, memory and disk utilization. Web servers having different contents are mutually connected and managed with a network file system to maintain information consistency required to support resource information updates, deletions, and additions. Load unbalance among contents group owing to distribution of contents can be alleviated by reassignment of Web servers. Using a simulation method, we showed that our method shows up to $50\%$ about average throughput and processing time improvement comparing to systems using each LC method and RR method.

this paper describes the design and implementation of node scheduling for MX Server that is CC-NUMA System COMSIX, the operating system of MX Server, is designed to suit for CC-NUMA Architecture. MX Server consists of up to 8 nodes, and each node is connected by SCI ring. This node scheduling scheme considers data locality for performance improvement of Oracle8i DBMS on the CC-NUMA architecture. For DBMS such as Oracle8i, a multi-threaded process may be run to tie on particular disk. We have developed a CG binding function that the multi-threaded process bound the node. Currently, We don't have an available CC-NUMA Platform. Instead of MX Server, we developed the Node scheduling scheme for multi-threaded process to suit server platform on the PC test-bed and tested completely.

Runtime Intrusion Prevention Evaluator (RIPE), published in 2011, is a benchmark suite for evaluating mitigation techniques against 850 attack patterns using only buffer overflow. Since RIPE is built as a single process, defense and attack routines cannot help sharing process states and address space layouts when RIPE is tested. As a result, attack routines can access the memory space for defense routines without restriction. We separate RIPE into two independent processes of defense and attacks so that mitigations based on confidentiality such as address space layout randomization are properly evaluated. In addition, we add an execution mode to test robustness against brute force attacks. Finally, we extend RIPE by adding 38 attack forms to perform format string attacks and virtual table (vtable) hijacking attacks. The revised RIPE contributes to the diversification of attack patterns and precise evaluation of the effectiveness of mitigations.

Our laboratory originally developed the compact, multi-spectral, automatic aerial photographic system PKNU3 to allow greater flexibility in geological and environmental data collection. We are currently developing the PKNU3 system, which consists of a color-infrared spectral camera capable of simultaneous photography in the visible and near-infrared bands; a thermal infrared camera; two computers, each with an 80-gigabyte memory capacity for storing images; an MPEG board that can compress and transfer data to the computers in real-time; and the capability of using a helicopter platform. Before actual aerial photographic testing of the PKNU3, we experimented with each sensor. We analyzed the lens distortion, the sensitivity of the CCD in each band, and the thermal response of the thermal infrared sensor before the aerial photographing. As of September 2004, the PKNU3 development schedule has reached the second phase of testing. As the result of two aerial photographic tests, R, G, B and IR images were taken simultaneously; and images with an overlap rate of 70% using the automatic 1-s interval data recording time could be obtained by PKNU3. Further study is warranted to enhance the system with the addition of gyroscopic and IMU units. We evaluated the PKNU 3 system as a method of environmental remote sensing by comparing each chlorophyll image derived from PKNU 3 photographs. This appraisement was backed up with existing study that resulted in a modest improvement in the linear fit between the measures of chlorophyll and the RVI, NDVI and SAVI images stem from photographs taken by Duncantech MS 3100 which has same spectral configuration with MS 4000 used in PKNU3 system.

This paper proposes LF-MMI (Lattice Free Maximum Mutual Information)-based acoustic modeling using external knowledge for speech recognition. Note that an external knowledge refers to text data other than training data used in acoustic model. LF-MMI, objective function for optimization of training DNN (Deep Neural Network), has high performances in discriminative training. In LF-MMI, a phoneme probability as prior probability is used for predicting posterior probability of the DNN-based acoustic model. We propose using external knowledges for training the prior probability model to improve acoustic model based on DNN. It is measured to relative improvement 14 % as compared with the conventional LF-MMI-based model.

Objectives: After epidural hemorrhage, sequelae may cause cognitive impairments, such as attention, memory, and performance disturbances. This case study reports on the use of traditional Korean medicine in a patient with cognitive impairments after a traumatic epidural hemorrhage. Methods: During the 46-day hospitalization period, traditional Korean medicine treatments, including Sunkihwalhyul-tang-gamibang, Ukgan-san-gajinpibanha Granule, Kyungohk-go, acupuncture, and cupping, were administered. The degree of cognitive impairment was measured based on the Mini Mental State Examination-Korea (MMSE-K), Modified Barthel Index (MBI), and correct answer ratio. Results: After traditional Korean medicine treatment, the MMSE-K score increased from 13 to 19 and the MBI score increased from 63 to 71. The patient's conversations in daily life also proceeded more smoothly than before hospitalization, and the correct answer ratio rose. Conclusion: This case reports the improvement of cognitive impairment after traumatic epidural hemorrhage in response to traditional Korean medicine treatment; further study is needed.
