The Semantic Web introduces the next generation of the Web by establishing a semantic layer of machine-understandable data to enable machines (i.e intelligent agents) retrieve more relevant information and execute automated web services using semantic information. Ontology-related technologies are very important to evolve the World Wide Web of today into the Semantic Web in representation and share of semantic data. In this paper, we proposed and implemented the efficient ontology management system, K-Box, which constructs and manages ontologies using topic maps. We can use K-Box system to construct, store and retrieve ontologies. K-Box system has several components: Topicmap Factory, Topicmap Provider, Topicmap Query Processor, Topicmap Object Wrapper, Topicmap Cache Manager, Topicmap Storage Wrapper.

Digital vessel have to accurate and efficient mange the digital data from various sensors in the digital vessel. But, In sensor network, it is difficult to transmit and analyze the entire stream data depending on limited networks, power and processor. Therefore it is suitable to use alternative stream data processing after classifying the continuous stream data. In this paper, We propose efficient processing method that arrange some sensors (temperature, humidity, lighting, voice) and process query based on sliding window for efficient input stream and pre-clustering using multiple Support Vector Machine(SVM) algorithm and manage hash table to summarized information. Processing performance improve as store and search and memory using hash table and usage reduced so maintain hash table in memory. We obtained to efficient result that accuracy rate and processing performance of proposal method using 35,912 data sets.

GPUs are stream processors based on multi-cores, which can process large data with a high speed and a large memory bandwidth. Furthermore, GPUs are less expensive than multi-core CPUs. Recently, usage of GPUs in general purpose computing has been wide spread. The CUDA architecture from Nvidia is one of efforts to help developers use GPUs in their application domains. In this paper, we propose techniques to parallelize a skyline algorithm which uses a simple nested loop structure. In order to employ the CUDA programming model, we apply our optimization techniques to make our skyline algorithm fit into the performance restrictions of the CUDA architecture. According to our experimental results, we improve the original skyline algorithm by 80% with our optimization techniques.

Generally, multi-dimensional data such as image and spatial data require large amount of storage space. There is a limit to store and manage those large amount of data in single workstation. If we manage the data on parallel computing environment which is being actively researched these days, we can get highly improved performance. In this paper, we propose a parallel high-dimensional index structure that exploits the parallelism of the parallel computing environment. The proposed index structure is nP(processor)-n$\times$mD(disk) architecture which is the hybrid type of nP-nD and lP-nD. Its node structure increases fan-out and reduces the height of a index tree. Also, A range search algorithm that maximizes I/O parallelism is devised, and it is applied to K-nearest neighbor queries. Through various experiments, it is shown that the proposed method outperforms other parallel index structures.

In the relational database systems the join operation is one of the most time-consuming query operations. Many parallel join algorithms have been developed 개 reduce the execution time Multiple hash join algorithm using allocation tree is one of the most efficient ones. However, it may have some delay on the processing each node of allocation tree, which is occurred in tuple-probing phase by the difference between one page reading time of outer relation and the processing time of already read one. This delay problem was solved by using the concept of synchronization of page execution time with we had proposed In this paper the effects of the performance improvements in each node of the allocation tree are extended to the whole allocation tree and the performance evaluation about that is processed. In addition we propose an efficient algorithm for multiple hash joins in limited number of processor environments according to the relationship between the number of input relations in the allocation tree and the number of processors allocated to the tree. Finally. we analyze the performance by building the analytical cost model and verify the validity of it by various performance comparison with previous method.

Cloud computing is internet-based computing where computing resources are offered over the Internet as scalable and on-demand services. In particular, in case a number of various cloud services emerge in accordance with development of internet and mobile technology, to select and provide services with which service users satisfy is one of the important issues. Most of previous works show the limitation in the degree of user satisfaction because they are based on so called concept similarity in relation to user requirements or are lack of versatility of user preferences. This paper presents cloud service selection reasoning which can be applied to the general cloud service environments including a variety of computing resource services, not limited to web services. In relation to the service environments, there are two kinds of services: atomic service and composite service. An atomic service consists of service attributes which represent the characteristics of service such as functionality, performance, or specification. A composite service can be created by composition of atomic services and other composite services. Therefore, a composite service inherits attributes of component services. On the other hand, the main participants in providing with cloud services are service users, service suppliers, and service operators. Service suppliers can register services autonomously or in accordance with the strategic collaboration with service operators. Service users submit request queries including service name and requirements to the service management system. The service management system consists of a query processor for processing user queries, a registration manager for service registration, and a selection engine for service selection reasoning. In order to enhance the degree of user satisfaction, our reasoning stands on basis of the degree of conformance to user requirements of service attributes in terms of functionality, performance, and specification of service attributes, instead of concept similarity as in ontology-based reasoning. For this we introduce so called a service attribute graph (SAG) which is generated by considering the inclusion relationship among instances of a service attribute from several perspectives like functionality, performance, and specification. Hence, SAG is a directed graph which shows the inclusion relationships among attribute instances. Since the degree of conformance is very close to the inclusion relationship, we can say the acceptability of services depends on the closeness of inclusion relationship among corresponding attribute instances. That is, the high closeness implies the high acceptability because the degree of closeness reflects the degree of conformance among attributes instances. The degree of closeness is proportional to the path length between two vertex in SAG. The shorter path length means more close inclusion relationship than longer path length, which implies the higher degree of conformance. In addition to acceptability, in this paper, other user preferences such as priority for attributes and mandatary options are reflected for the variety of user requirements. Furthermore, to consider various types of attribute like character, number, and boolean also helps to support the variety of user requirements. Finally, according to service value to price cloud services are rated and recommended to users. One of the significances of this paper is the first try to present a graph-based selection reasoning unlike other works, while considering various user preferences in relation with service attributes.
