최근 위치기반 기술의 급속한 발전으로 인하여 이동 객체를 효율적으로 관리하기 위한 색인 구조의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 KDB-트리를 기반으로 하는 새로운 형태의 시공간 색인 구조인 TPKDB-트리 (Time Parameterized KDB-Tree)를 제안한다. 제안하는 색인 구조는 갱신 비용을 최소화 하여 이동 객체 검색의 효율성을 증가시키고 노드 내에 포함되어 있는 이동 객체의 변화를 시간에 대한 파라미터로 유지함으로서 효율적으로 이동 객체의 미래 위치 검색을 지원한다. 또한, 공간활용도를 최대화하기 위해 EFP 분할 (Enhanced First Division Splitting) 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 색인 구조의 우수성을 입증하기 위해 실험을 통해 다른 색인 구조차의 성능 비교를 수행한다.

무선 통신 기술의 발달로 인하여 LBS(Location Based System)와 같은 새로운 이동체 관련 서비스가 생겨나고 있다. 위치 기반 서비스에서 클라이언트인 이동체들이 주기적으로 보고하는 위치 데이터를 실시간으로 처리하기 위해 서버에서는 메인 메모리 DBMS를 유지하는 것이 필요한데, 데이터의 양이 계속적으로 증가하는 특성으로 인해 메인 메모리의 공간이 부족할 때 데이터를 디스크로 옮기는 시스템 설계가 필요하다. 그러나 기존의 연구는 대용량 이동체 환경에서의 색인 이주를 위한 노드 선택 정책과 이주를 위해 선택된 노드들의 디스크 배치 정책을 통합하여 나타내지 못하였다. 그러므로 대용량 이동체 데이터베이스 시스템 환경에 적합한 이주 정책들에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 이 논문에서는 대용량 이동체 데이터베이스 환경을 고려한 노드 선택 정책과 디스크 배치 정책을 분류하고 새로운 이주 정 책을 제시한다. 노드 선택 정책으로는 질의 성능을 위해서 캐쉬의 LRU(Least Recently Used) 정책을 이용한 변형된 LRU정책을 제시하고, 삽입 우선 정책으로는 이동체 색인인 R-tree의 삽입 알고리즘을 역이용한 정책을 제시한다. 또한 이주되는 노드들에 대한 디스크 페이지 배치가 시스템의 질의 성능에 영향을 미치므로 이를 고려한 디스크 배치 정책을 제시한다.

This paper addresses an indexing scheme capable of efficiently processing range queries in a large-scale trajectory database. After discussing the drawbacks of previous indexing schemes, we propose a new scheme that divides the temporal dimension into multiple time intervals and then, by this interval, builds an index for the line segments. Additionally, a supplementary index is built for the line segments within each time interval. This scheme can make a dramatic improvement in the performance of insert and search operations using a main memory index, particularly for the time interval consisting of the segments taken by those objects which are currently moving or have just completed their movements, as contrast to the previous schemes that store the index totally on the disk. Each time interval index is built as follows: First, the extent of the spatial dimension is divided onto multiple spatial cells to which the line segments are assigned evenly. We use a 2D-tree to maintain information on those cells. Then, for each cell, an additional 3D $R^*$-tree is created on the spatio-temporal space (x, y, t). Such a multi-level indexing strategy can cure the shortcomings of the legacy schemes. Performance results obtained from intensive experiments show that our scheme enhances the performance of retrieve operations by 3$\sim$10 times, with much less storage space.

This paper addresses the problem of efficient processing of region monitoring queries. The centralized methods used for existing region monitoring query processing assumes that the mobile object periodically sends location-updates to the server and the server continues to update the query results. However, a large amount of location updates seriously degrade the system performance. Recently, some distributed methods have been proposed for region monitoring query processing. In the distributed methods, the server allocates to all objects i) a resident domain that is a subspace of the workspace, and ii) a number of nearby query regions. All moving objects send location updates to the server only when they leave the resident domain or cross the boundary of the query region. In order to allocate the resident domain to the moving object along with the nearby query region, we use a query index structure that is constructed by splitting the workspace recursively into equal halves. However, However, the above index structure causes unnecessary division, resulting in deterioration of system performance. In this paper, we propose an adaptive split method to reduce unnecessary splitting. The workspace splitting is dynamically allocated i) considering the spatial relationship between the query region and the resultant subspace, and ii) the distribution of the query region. We proposed an enhanced QR-tree with a new splitting method. Through a set of simulations, we verify the efficiency of the proposed split methods.

Advances in information and communication technologies have been creating new classes of applications in the area of databases. For example, in moving object databases, which track positions of a lot of objects, or stream databases, which process data streams from a lot of sensors, data Processed in such database systems are usually changed very rapidly and continuously. However, traditional database systems have a problem in processing these rapidly and continuously changing data because they suppose that a data item stored in the database remains constant until It is explicitly modified. The problem becomes more serious in the R-tree, which is a typical index structure for multidimensional data, because modifying data in the R-tree can generate cascading node splits or merges. To process frequent updates more efficiently, we propose a novel update technique for the R-tree, which we call the leaf-update technique. If a new value of a data item lies within the leaf MBR that the data item belongs, the leaf-update technique changes the leaf node only, not whole of the tree. Using this leaf-update manner and the leaf-access hash table for direct access to leaf nodes, the proposed technique can reduce update cost greatly. In addition, the leaf-update technique can be adopted in diverse variants of the R-tree and various applications that use the R-tree since it is based on the R-tree and it guarantees the correctness of the R-tree. In this paper, we prove the effectiveness of the leaf-update techniques theoretically and present experimental results that show that our technique outperforms traditional one.

In this paper, we propose an energy efficient index scheme for Nearest Neighbor queries, specially designed for mobile P2P environments. we propose a PMBR (P2P Minimum Boundary Rectangle) index that provides the client with the ability of selective contacting and tuning from other nodes. The mobile client is able to identify whether or not the neighbor nodes have the desired information by accessing PMBR. Thus, the client immediately switches to change to another node's broadcast channel if the index does not contain the desired information. Furthermore, the client is able to predict the arrival time of the desired data items and only needs to tune into the broadcast channel when the requested data items arrives, by first accessing PMBR. Thus, the mobile client can stay in power save mode most of time, and tune into the broadcast channel only when the requested data items arrive. Experiments are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme. Comprehensive experiments illustrate that the proposed scheme is more efficient than the previous techniques in terms of energy consumption.

In this paper, we propose the method of adjusting thresholds using impurity indices in classification analysis on imbalanced data. Suppose the minority category is Positive and the majority category is Negative for the imbalanced binomial data. When categories are determined based on the commonly used 0.5 basis, the specificity tends to be high in unbalanced data while the sensitivity is relatively low. Increasing sensitivity is important when proper classification of objects in minority categories is relatively important. We explore how to increase sensitivity through adjusting thresholds. Existing studies have adjusted thresholds based on measures such as G-Mean and F1-score, but in this paper, we propose a method to select optimal thresholds using the chi-square statistic of CHAID, the Gini index of CART, and the entropy of C4.5. We also introduce how to get a possible unique value when multiple optimal thresholds are obtained. Empirical analysis shows what improvements have been made compared to the results based on 0.5 through classification performance metrics.

The choice of an effective indexing method is crucial to guarantee the performance of the spatial join operator which is heavily used in geographical information systems. The $R^*$-tree based method is renowned as one of the most representative indexing methods. In this paper, we propose an efficient spatial join technique based on the DOT(Double Transformation) index, and compare it with the spatial Join technique based on the $R^*$-tree index. The DOT index transforms the MBR of an spatial object into a single numeric value using a space filling curve, and builds the $B^+$-tree from a set of numeric values transformed as such. The DOT index is possible to be employed as a primary index for spatial objects. The proposed spatial join technique exploits the regularities in the moving patterns of space filling curves to divide a query region into a set of maximal sub-regions within which space filling curves traverse without interruption. Such division reduces the number of spatial transformations required to perform the spatial join and thus improves the performance of join processing. The experiments with the data sets of various distributions and sizes revealed that the proposed join technique is up to three times faster than the spatial join method based on the $R^*$-tree index.

Location-based service is an important spatiotemporal database application area that provides the location-aware information of wireless terminals via positioning devices such as GPS. With the rapid advances of wireless communication systems, the requirement of mobile application areas including traffic, mobile commerce and supply chaining management became the center of attention for various research issues in spatiotemporal databases. In this paper we present the A-Quadtree, an efficient indexing method for answering location-based queries where the movement vector information (e.g., speed and velocity) is not presented. We implement the A-Quadtree with an index structure for object identifiers as a.Net component to apply the component to multiplatforms. We present our approach and describe the performance evaluation through various experiments. In our experiments, we compare the performance with previous approaches and show the enhanced efficiency of our method.

Recently, the location-based service for moving customers is becoming one of the most important service in mobile communication area. For moving object applications, there are lots of update operations and such update loads are concentrated on some particular area unevenly. Range queries, whose range can be window or circular, are the most essential query types in LBS. We need to distinguish completely contained cells from partially contained cells in those range queries. Also, it is necessary to consider temporal dimension to filter out qualifying objects correctly. In this paper, we adopt two-level index structures with fixed grid file structures in the second level, which are designed to minimize update operations. We propose a spatial ceil filtering method using VP filtering and a combined spatio-temporal filtering method using time gone concepts. Some experimental results are shown for various window queries and circular queries with different filtering combinations to show the performance tradeoffs of the proposed methods.
