Wireless sensors play important roles in various areas as ubiquitous computing is generalized. Depending on applications properties, each sensor can be equipped with limited computing power in addition to general function of gathering environment-related information. One of main issues in this environment is to improve energy-efficiency in sensor nodes. In this paper, we devise a new attribute-query processing algorithm. Each sensor has to maintain partial information locally about attributes values gathered at its all descendent nodes. As the volume is higher, however, the maintenance cost also increases. And the update cost also has to be considered in the proposed algorithm. Thus, some bits, AVB(Attribute-Value Bits), are delivered instead of the value itself, where each bit represents a bound of attribute. Thus, the partial information can decrease the number of exchanged messages with a little cost during query processing. Through simulation works, the proposed algorithm is analyzed from several points of view.

Data cube plays an important role in multi-dimensional, multi-level data analysis. Meeting on-line analysis requirements of data stream, several cube structures have been proposed for OLAP on data stream, such as stream cube, flowcube, S-cube. Since it is costly to construct data cube and execute ad-hoc OLAP queries, more research works should be done considering efficient data structure, query method and algorithms. Stream cube uses H-cubing to compute selected cuboids and store the computed cells in an H-tree, which form the cuboids along popular-path. However, the H-tree layoutis disorderly and H-cubing method relies too much on popular path.In this paper, first, we propose $H^*$-tree, an improved data structure, which makes the retrieval operation in tree structure more efficient. Second, we propose an improved cubing method, $H^*$-cubing, with respect to computing the cuboids that cannot be retrieved along popular-path when an ad-hoc OLAP query is executed. $H^*$-tree construction and $H^*$-cubing algorithms are given. Performance study turns out that during the construction step, $H^*$-tree outperforms H-tree with a more desirable trade-off between time and memory usage, and $H^*$-cubing is better adapted to ad-hoc OLAP querieswith respect to the factors such as time and memory space.

Ad hoc networks are groups of mobile hosts without any fixed infrastructure. Frequent changes in network topology owing to node mobility make these networks very difficult to manage. Therefore, enhancing the reliability of routing paths in ad hoc networks gets more important. In this paper, we propose a ZRP(Zone Routing Protocol)-based route discovery scheme that can not only reduce the total hops of routing path, but Improve security through authentications between two nodes. And to solve the problem in maintenance of routing paths owing to frequent changes of the network topology, we adopt a query control mechanism. The effectiveness of our scheme is shown by simulation methods.

This paper proposes an efficient path finding scheme capable of searching the paths to k static objects from a given query point, aiming at both improving the legacy k-nearest neighbor search and making it easily applicable to the road network environment. To the end of improving the speed of finding one-to-many paths, the modified A* obviates the duplicated part of node scans involved in the multiple executions of a one-to-one path finding algorithm. Additionally, the cost to the each object found in this step makes it possible to finalize the k objects according to the network distance from the candidate set as well as to order them by the path cost. Experiment results show that the proposed scheme has the accuracy of around 100% and improves the search speed by $1.3{\sim}3.0$ times of k-nearest neighbor searches, compared with INE, post-Dijkstra, and $na{\ddot{i}}ve$ method.

This paper presents optimal configurations of multidimensional path indexes (MPIs) for the efficient execution of object-oriented queries in object databases. MPI uses a multidimensional index structure for efficiently supporting nested predicates that involve both nested attribute and class hierarchies, which are not supported by the nested attribute index using one-dimensional index structure such as $B^+$-tree. In this paper, we have analyzed the MPIs in the framework of complex queries, containing conjunctions of nested predicates, each one involving a path expression having target classes and domain classes substitution. First of all, we have considered MPI operations caused by updating of object databases, and the use of the MPI in the case of a query containing a single nested predicate. And then, we have considered the use of the MPIs in the framework of more general queries containing nested predicates over both overlapping and non-overlapping paths. The former are paths having common subpaths, while the latter have no common subpaths.

Massive data are continuously produced with a data rate of over several terabytes every day. These applications need effective clustering algorithms to achieve an overall high performance computation. In this paper, we propose ancestor as cluster center based approach to clustering, the K-means algorithm using ancestor. We modify the K-means algorithm. We present a clustering architecture and a clustering algorithm that minimize of I/Os and show a performance with excellent. In our experimental performance evaluation, we present that our algorithm can improve the I/O speed and the query processing time.

웹 리소스에 대한 메타 데이타 표현을 위해 RDF가 표준안으로 제정됨에 따라 RDF 데이타 저장 및 질의 처리 등의 연구가 많이 진행되어 왔다. 전통적인 저장 시스템을 기반으로 하는 저장 구조는 단순한 트리플 패턴 기반의 질의 처리에는 효율적이다. 그러나 여러 개의 트리플 패턴들이 결합된 질의 즉, 경로 기반의 질의 처리는 많은 조인 연산이 요구된다. 한편, 경로 질의의 효율적인 처리를 위해 접미사 배열을 응용한 인덱싱 기법이 제안되었다. 그러나 이 연구에서는 부분 경로식을 포함한 단순 경로 기반 질의 처리의 성능이 향상됨을 보여주었으나 다양한 경로 질의 유형에 대한 처리는 고려하지 않았다. 본 논문에서는 접미사 배열을 응용한 인덱싱 기법을 기반으로 한 경로 기반의 RDF 질의 처리 방안을 기술 한다. 특히, 단순 경로 질의처리 이외에 다양한 질의 유형의 처리를 위한 방안들을 예제를 통해 설명한다.

지금까지 제안된 XML 문서상의 분기 질의(twig query) 처리 기법들의 중요한 흐름 중 하나는 지역 인코딩 기법을 이용하는 것이다. 하지만 이 기법에 기반한 분기 질의 처리는 분기 질의상의 단말 노드와 분기 노드의 엘리먼트를 반드시 읽어야 하는 단점이 있다. 그러나 지역 인코딩 기법과는 달리 경로 정보를 축약하는 방식의 레이블링 기법(예: 듀이 인코딩)은 지역 인코딩에 의한 레이블에 비해 더 많은 정보를 담고 있어서, 이 기법과 구조 인덱스를 이용하여 XML 문서를 인덱싱하면 질의상의 단말 태그의 엘리먼트만을 읽어도 분기 질의를 처리할 수 있다. 이를 이용하여, 본 논문에서는 경로 정보 축약 레이블링 기법과 구조 인덱스를 이용한 분기 질의 처리 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 디스크 입출력을 줄일 수 있으며 불필요한 중간 결과도 생성하지 않는다.

Large-scale ontology management is one of the main issues when using ontology data practically. Although many approaches have been proposed in relational database management systems (RDBMSs) or object-oriented DBMSs (OODBMSs) to develop large-scale ontology management systems, they have several limitations because ontology data structures are intrinsically different from traditional data structures in RDBMSs or OODBMSs. In addition, users have difficulty using ontology data because many terminologies (ontology nodes) in large-scale ontology data match with a given string keyword. Therefore, in this study, we propose a (graph database-based ontology management system (GOMS) to efficiently manage large-scale ontology data. GOMS uses a graph DBMS and provides new query templates to help users find key concepts or instances. Furthermore, to run queries with multiple joins and path conditions efficiently, we propose GOMS encoding as a filtering tool and develop hash-based join processing algorithms in the graph DBMS. Finally, we experimentally show that GOMS can process various types of queries efficiently.

As a semantic data is widely used in various applications such as Knowledge Bases and Semantic Web, needs for effective search over a large amount of RDF data have been increasing. Previous keyword search methods based on distinct root semantics only retrieve a set of answer trees having different root nodes. Thus, they often find answer trees with similar meanings or low query relevance together while those with the same root node cannot be retrieved together even if they have different meanings and high query relevance. We propose a new method to find diverse and relevant answers to the query by permitting duplication of root nodes among them. We present an efficient query processing algorithm using path indexes to find top-k answers given a maximum amount of root duplication a set of answer trees can have. We show by experiments using a real dataset that the proposed approach can produce effective answer trees which are less redundant in their content nodes and more relevant to the query than the previous method.
