In Location-Based Services (LBSs), users requesting a location-based query send their exact location to a database server and thus the location information of the users can be misused by adversaries. Therefore, a privacy protection method is required for using LBS in a safe way. In this paper, we propose a new cloaking region generation algorithm using grids for privacy protection in LBSs. The proposed algorithm creates a m inimum cloaking region by finding L buildings and then performs K-anonymity to search K users. For this, we make use of not only a grid-based index structure, but also an efficient pruning techniques. Finally, we show from a performance analysis that our cloaking region generation algorithm outperforms the existing algorithm in term of the size of cloaking region.

Recently, high-dimensional index structures have been required for similarity search in such database applications s multimedia database and data warehousing. In this paper, we propose a new cell-based signature tree, called CS-tree, which supports efficient storage and retrieval on high-dimensional feature vectors. The proposed CS-tree partitions a high-dimensional feature space into a group of cells and represents a feature vector as its corresponding cell signature. By using cell signatures rather than real feature vectors, it is possible to reduce the height of our CS-tree, leading to efficient retrieval performance. In addition, we present a similarity search algorithm for efficiently pruning the search space based on cells. Finally, we compare the performance of our CS-tree with that of the X-tree being considered as an efficient high-dimensional index structure, in terms of insertion time, retrieval time for a k-nearest neighbor query, and storage overhead. It is shown from experimental results that our CS-tree is better on retrieval performance than the X-tree.

스카이라인 질의란 다수의 선택지 중 '선호될 만한(preferable)' 선택지를 요청하는 질의이다. 사용자가 검토해야하는 선택지의 수를 대폭 감소시키는 스카이라인 질의는 데이터가 폭증하는 빅데이터 환경에서 매우 유용하게 활용된다. 이러한 배경에서 대용량 데이터에 대한 스카이라인 질의를 분산 병렬 처리하는 기법이 각광을 받고 있으며, 특히 맵리듀스(MapReduce) 기반의 분산 병렬 처리 기법 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 맵리듀스 기반 알고리즘의 병렬성 제고를 위해서는 부하 불균등 문제 중복 계산 문제 과다한 네트워크 비용 발생 문제를 해소해야 한다. 최근 각 기반 공간분할 기법을 사용하여 부하 불균등 문제와 중복 계산 문제를 해소하는 맵리듀스 기반 스카이라인 질의 처리 기법이 제안되었으나 해당 기법은 네트워크 비용 관점에서 최적화되어있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 부하 불균등 문제와 중복 계산 문제를 해소하면서도 프루닝을 통해 네트워크 비용 절감 시킬 수 있는 새로운 맵리듀스 기반 병렬 스카이라인 질의 처리 기법인 MR-SEAP(MapReduce sample Skyline object Equality Angular Partitioning)을 제안한다. MR-SEAP에서는 데이터를 샘플링하여 샘플 스카이라인 객체를 추출한 뒤 해당 객체들을 균등 분배하는 각도를 기준으로 공간을 분할하여 스카이라인 질의를 병렬 계산하되, 샘플 스카이라인을 이용하여 다수의 객체를 사전에 프루닝함으로써 네트워크 비용을 절감한다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 데이터 수량(cardinality) 및 분포(distribution)에 따른 제안 기법의 성능을 실험 평가함으로써 제안 기법의 우수성을 검증한다.

Database community focuses on the similar music retrieval systems for music database when a humming query is given. One of the approaches is converting the midi data to time series, building their indices and performing the similarity search on them. Queries based on humming can be transformed to time series by using the known pitch detection algorithms. The recently suggested algorithm, scaled and warped matching, is based on dynamic time warping and uniform scaling. This paper proposes Humming BIRD(Humming Based sImilaR mini music retrieval system) using sliding window and center-aligned scaled and warped matching. Center-aligned scaled and warped matching is a mixed distance measure of center-aligned uniform scaling and time warping. The newly proposed measure gives tighter lower bound than previous ones which results in reduced search space. The empirical results show the superiority of this algorithm comparing the pruning power while it returns the same results.
