Knowledge management(KM) is emerging as a robust management mechanism with which an organization can remain highly intelligent and competitive in a turbulent market. Organization memory(or knowledge) is at the heart of KM success. How to create organizational memory has been debated among researchers. In literature, a wide variety of methods for creating organizational memory have been proposed only to prove that its applicability is limited to decision-making problems which require shallow or non-causal knowledge type. However, organizational memory with a sense of causal knowledge is highly required in solving complicated decision-making problems in which complex dynamics exist between various factors and influence each other with cause and effect relationship among them. In this respect, we propose a new approach to creating a causal-typed organizational memory (CATOM), which has a form of causal knowledge and is represented in a matrix form, by using an inference diagram. An algorithm for CATOM creation is suggested and applied to an illustrative example. Results show that our proposed KM approach can effectively equip an organization with semi-automated CATOM creation and inference process which is deemed useful in a highly competitive business environment.

Fault simulation for large and complex sequential circuits is highly cpu-intensive task in the intergrated circuit design process. In this paper, we propose CM-SIM, a concurrent fault simulator which employs an optimal memory management strategy and simple list operations. CM-SIM removes inefficiencies and uses new dynamic memory management strategies, using contiguous array memory. Consequently, we got improved performance and reduced memory usage in concurrent fault simulation.

Various researches had been devoted in purpose of improving memory management in terms of performance, efficiency, ease of use, and safety. One of these approaches is a region-based memory management. Each allocation site selects a specific region, after that allocated objects are placed in this region. Memory is reclaimed by destroying the region, freeing all the objects allocated therein. In this paper, we propose reusing of local regions to reduce heap memory usage in memory-limited environments. The basic idea of this proposal is reusing of upper local regions where objects that are allocated to these regions are not accessed until the current method is finished. We believe our method of reusing local regions is able to overcome memory constraints in memory-limited environments.

The volume of memory to store real-time data stream is varied dynamically. Continuous queries processing the data stream must manage the storage volume dynamically. In previous research, according to current volume of data a general memory manager which allocates and releases memory by a page unit is researched.However, the method frequently executes page allocation and release to store data stream. Moreover, particularly delayed queries can monopolize many of pages because the method directly allocates pages when a query has not enough memory. Focusing on the problems in memory management systems, this research proposes a memory management method which reduces the frequency of allocation and release and uniformly distributes pages for queries. The method can reduce the frequency of allocation and release through allocation based on utilization ratio of pages in each query and prevent memory monopoly through memory allocation which considers query delay.

The Flash memory market: is an exciting market that has quickly over the last 10 years. Recently Flash memory provides a high-density. truly non-volatile, high performance read write memory solutions, also is characterized by low power consumption, extreme ruggedness and high reliability. Flash memory is an optimum solution for large nonvolitilc storage operations such as solid file storage, digital video recorder, digital still camera, The MP3 player and other portable multimedia communication applications requiring non-volatility. Regardless of the type of Flash memory, Flash media management software is always required to manage the larger Flash memory block partitions. This is true, since Flash memory cannot be erased on the byte level common to memory, but must be erased on a block granularity. The management of a Flash memory manager requires a keen understanding of a Flash technology and data management methods. Though Flash memory's write performance is relatively slow, the suggested algorithm offers a higher maximum write performance. Algorithms so far developed is not suitable for applications which is requiring more fast and frequent accesses. But, the proposed algorithm is focused on the justifiable operation even in the circumstance of fast and frequent accesses.

Recently, with the recent rapid development of memory technology, various types of memory are developed and are used to improve processing speed in data management systems. In particular, NAND flash memory is used as a main media for storing data in memory-based storage devices because it has a nonvolatile characteristic that it can maintain data even at the power off state. However, since the recently studied memory-based storage device consists of various types of memory such as MRAM and PRAM as well as NAND flash memory, research on memory management technology is needed to improve data processing performance and efficiency of media in a storage system composed of different types of memories. In this paper, we propose a memory mapping scheme thought technique for efficiently managing data in the storage device composed of various memories for data management. The proposed idea is a method of managing different memories using a single mapping table. This method can unify the address scheme of data and reduce the search cost of data stored in different memories for data tiering.

The energy efficiency of memory systems is an important task in designing future computer systems as memory capacity continues to increase to accommodate the growing big data. In this article, we present an energy-efficient last-level cache management policy for future mobile systems. The proposed policy makes use of low-power PCM (phase-change memory) as the main memory medium, and reduces the amount of data written to PCM, thereby saving memory energy consumptions. To do so, the policy keeps track of the modified cache lines within each cache block, and replaces the last-level cache block that incurs the smallest PCM writing upon cache replacement requests. Also, the policy considers the access bit of cache blocks along with the cache line modifications in order not to degrade the cache hit ratio. Simulation experiments using SPEC benchmarks show that the proposed policy reduces the power consumption of PCM memory by 22.7% on average without degrading performances.

In come cases, people differently respond on the same joke or thoughtless behavior - sometimes like it and laugh, another time feel annoyed or angry. This fact is explained that experiences which we had in the past are remembered by emotional memory, so they cause different responses. When people face similar situation or feel similar emotion, they evoke the emotion experienced in the past and the emotional memory affects current emotion. This paper suggested the mechanism of the emotional memory using SOM through the similarity between the emotional memory and SOM learning algorithm. It was assumed that the mechanism of the emotional memory has also the characteristics of association memory, long-term memory and short-term memory in its process of remembering emotional experience, which are known as the characteristics of the process of remembering factual experience. And then these characteristics were applied. The mechanism of the emotional memory designed like this was applied to toy hammer game and I measured the change in the power of toy hammer caused by differently responding on the same stimulus. The mechanism of the emotional memory suggest in above is expected to apply to the fields of game, robot engineering, because the mechanism can express various emotions on the same stimulus.

In general, PCM (Phase Change Memory) is unsuitable as a main memory because it has limitations: high read/write latency and low endurance. However, the DRAM&PCM hybrid memory with the same level is one of the effective structures for a next generation main memory because it can utilize an advantage of both DRAM and PCM. Therefore, it needs an effective page management method for exploiting each memory characteristics dynamically and adaptively. So we aim reducing an access time and write count of PCM by using an effective page replacement. According to our simulation, the proposed algorithm for the DRAM&PCM hybrid can reduce the PCM access count by around 60% and the PCM write count by 42% given the same PCM size, compared with Clock-DWF algorithm.

Mobile game servers usually execute frequent dynamic memory allocation for generating the buffers that deal with clients requests. It causes to deteriorate the performance of game servers since it increases system workload and memory fragmentation. In this paper, we propose fixed-sized memory pool management method. Memory pool for the proposed method has a sequential memory structure based on circular linked list data structure. It solves memory fragmentation problem and saves time for searching the memory blocks which are required for memory allocation and deallocation. We showed the efficiency of the proposed method by evaluating the performance of dynamic memory allocation, through the proposed method and the memory pool management method based on boost open source library.
