As XML becomes the standard of digital data exchange format we need to manage a lot of XML data effectively. Unlike tables in relational model XML documents are not structural. That makes it difficult to store XML documents as tables in relational model. To solve these problems there have been significant researches in relational database systems. There are two kinds of approaches: 1) One way is to decompose XML documents so that elements of XML match fields of relational tables. 2) The other one stores a whole XML document as a field of relational table. In this paper we adopted the second approach to store XML documents because sometimes it is not easy for us to decompose XML documents and in some cases their element order in documents are very meaningful. We suggest an efficient table schema to store only inverted index as tables to retrieve required data from XML data fields of relational tables and shows SQL translations that correspond to XML full-text retrievals. The functionalities of XML retrieval are based on the W3C XQuery which includes full-text retrievals. In this paper we show the superiority of our method by comparing the performances in terms of a response time and a space to store inverted index. Experiments show our approach uses less space and shows faster response times.

Digital image and video libraries require new algorithms for the automated extraction and indexing of salient image features. Eigen values of an image provide one important cue for the discrimination of image content. In this paper we propose a new approach for automated content extraction that allows efficient database searching using eigen values. The algorithm automatically extracts eigen values from the image matrix represented by the covariance matrix for the image. We demonstrate that the eigen values representing shape information and the skewness of its distribution representing complexity provide good performance in image query response time while providing effective discriminability. We present the eigen value extraction and indexing techniques. We test the proposed algorithm of searching by eigen value and its skewness on a database of 100 images.

To conserve the usage of energy, indexing techniques have been developed in a wireless mobile environment. However, the use of interleaved index segments in a broadcast cycle increases the average access latency for the clients. In this paper, we present the broadcast-based location dependent data delivery scheme (BBS) for dynamic range queries. In the BBS, broadcasted data objects are sorted sequentially based on their locations, and the server broadcasts the location dependent data along with an index segment. Then, we present a data prefetching and caching scheme, designed to reduce the query response time. The performance of this scheme is investigated in relation to various environmental variables, such as the distributions of the data objects, the average speed of the clients, and the size of the service area.

An effective solution to the problems caused by the explosive growth of World Wide Web is a web caching that employing an additional server, called proxy cache, between the clients and main server for caching the popular web objects near the clients. However, a single proxy cache can easily become the bottleneck. Deploying groups of cooperative caches provides scalability and robustness by eliminating the limitations caused by a single proxy cache. Two common architectures to implement the cooperative caching are hierarchical and distributed caching systems. Unfortunately, both architectures suffer from performance limitations. We propose an efficient hybrid caching architecture eliminating these limitations by using both the hierarchical and same level caches. Our performance evaluation with our investigated simulator shows that the proposed architecture offers the best of both existing architectures in terms of cache hit rate, the number of query messages from clients, and response time.

In distributed databases, file replication and workload allocation are important design issues. This paper solves these two issues simultaneously, The primary objective is to minimize the system response time that consists of local processing and communication overhead on a local area network. Workload (query transactions) is assigned among any sites in proportion to the remaining file request service rate of the each server The problem is presented in the form of a nonlinear integer programming model. The problem is proved to be NP-complete and thus an efficient heuristic is developed by employing its special structure. To illustrate its effectiveness, it is shown that the proposed heuristic is based on the heuristic of a non-redundant allocation that was provided to be effective. The model and heuristics are likely to provide more effective distributed database designs.

In this paper, we describe a case study to improve performance through the load testing of multi-tired system for financial accounts before the system opening. The load test was conducted after the data collection tools(Performance Monitor, DB PSSDiag) were installed. By analyzing the collected log, we were able to identify the main sector requiring performance improvements among the presentation tier, web tier, business logic tier and data tier. The ASP.NET server-down on the web tier could be improved by modifying the parameter values in the configuration file. Some server downs occurred on the business logic tier when a large number of users access at the same time, were more difficult to be solved. By analyzing the hang-dump at the server-down time, we were able to find a process that caused the problem. and we had to modify the relevant codes. For major performance improvements of the data-tier, indices of some queries was optimized by using the built-in DBMS query analyzer, after analyzing the log of long-response-time queries. The problems and solutions considered in this case study will be a reference for the performance improvement of a multi-layer system with the similar structure.

Wireless sensor networks are generally deployed for specific applications to accomplish certain objectives over a period of time. To fulfill these objectives, it is crucial that the sensor network continues to function for a long time, even if some of its nodes become faulty. Energy efficiency and fault tolerance are undoubtedly the most crucial requirements for the design of an information extraction protocol for any sensor network application. However, most existing software agent based information extraction protocols are incapable of satisfying these requirements because of static agent itineraries and large agent sizes. This paper proposes an Information Extraction protocol based on Multiple software Agents with Dynamic Itineraries (IEMADI), where multiple software agents are dispatched in parallel to perform tasks based on the query assigned to them. IEMADI decides the itinerary for an agent dynamically at each hop using local information. Through mathematical analysis and simulation, we compare the performance of IEMADI with a well known static itinerary based protocol with respect to energy consumption and response time. The results show that IEMADI provides better performance than the static itinerary based protocols.

공간데이터베이스 시스템에서는 사용자에게 효과적인 공간데이터베이스 접근방법을 제공하기 위하여 공간 뷰를 지원하며 비실체화 방법과 실체화 방법으로 관리한다. 비 실체화 방법은 동일질의에 대한 반복적인 수행으로 서버 병목 현상과 네트워크 부하가 발생하는 문제점이 있고, 실체화 방법은 공간 기본 테이블 변경에 대한 실체화 뷰 관리 방법이 어렵고, 비용이 많이 든다는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 R-tree 재구성 방법을 이용한 공간 뷰 실체화 관리 기법(SVMT : Spatial View Materialization Technique)을 제안한다. 제안한 SVMT는 공간 뷰 객체 분포율 오차율 이용하여 공간 뷰를 실체화하는 기법으로, 공간 뷰 객체 분포율 오차가 오차 한계 범위내에 존재하면 공간 뷰를 실체화하고 광간 뷰 높이에 해당하는 노드를 공간 뷰에 대한 R-Tree의 루트로 사용하고, 오차 한계 범위를 벗어나면 공간 뷰를 실체화함과 동시에 R-Tree를 재구성하는 방법이다. 이 기법에서 공간 뷰에 대한 정보는 공간 뷰 정보 테이블(SVIT : Spatial View Materialization Technique)를 통하여 관리되며, 이 테이블의 레코드는 공간 뷰에 대한 정보를 저장하고 있다. SVMT는 실체화된 공간 뷰에 대한 질의수행을 통해 공간질의 처리 수행 속도를 빠르게하며, 이를 통하여 반복적인 질의 변환을 통해 발생하는 부가적인 질의 수행 비용을 제거한다. 따라서, 제안하는 기법은 다중 사용자, 동시 작업 환경에서 공간 뷰에 대한 빠른 접근 속도와 빠른 질의 응답을 제공하여 서버의 병목현상과 네트워크 부하를 최소화한다는 장점을 가진다.

인터넷과 PC의 발달은 정보의 분산과 공유를 가속화하여, 사용자 스스로 컴퓨터 자원과 서비스를 개인의 컴퓨터 사이에 서로 공유하는 P2P (Peer-to-Peer) 컴퓨팅이 등장하였다. 대부분의 P2P 시스템에서 가장 중요한 기능은 효율적으로 데이타를 위치시키고 (location) 탐색하는 것이다. 지금까지 개발된 P2P 시스템은 피어의 성능을 똑같은 것으로 가정한다. 이는 알고리즘의 분석이 쉽기 때문에 학문의 관점에서는 유용하지만, 실제로는 모든 피어가 비슷한 기능을 가지는 것이 아니다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 P2P 시스템에서 무시하고 있는 피어의 컴퓨팅 능력을 고려한 P2P 프로토콜을 제안하고, 또한 제안한 프로토콜의 응용 분야와 활용 가능성을 제시한다. 그리고 시뮬레이션을 통해 메시지의 피어 사이의 라운드 시간과 메시지의 평균 홉 (Hop) 수를 측정하여 프로토콜의 성능을 검증하고, 마지막으로 수식으로 성능을 분석한다. 간 논문에서 제안한 P2P 프로토콜의 이즘을 Magic Square 라고 한다. 마방진에서 각각의 숫자는 특별한 의미가 없지만, 그 수를 적절히 배치한 마방진은 어느 방향에서 보아도 같은 합을 가진다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 ,Magic Square도 카 피어가 가지는 정도는 의미가 없더라도 전체 시스템에서는 의미론 가지고, 어떤 피어에서 질의를 하더라도 비슷한 성능이 나을 수 있도록 설계하였다.

The Semantic Web has increased the interest in ontologies recently Ontology is an essential component of the semantic web and continues to change and evolve. We consider versions management schemes in ontology. We study a set of changes based on domain changes, changes in conceptualization, metadata changes, and temporal dimension. Our change specification is represented by a set of changes. A set of changes consists of instance data change, structural change, and identifier change. In order to support a query in ontology versions, we consider temporal dimension includes valid time. Ontology versioning brings about massive amount of versions to be stored and maintained. We present the ontology versions management schemes that are 1) storing all the change sets, 2) storing the aggregation of change sets periodically, and 3) storing the aggregation of change sets using an adaptive criterion. We conduct a set of experiments to compare the performance of each versions management schemes. We present the experimental results for evaluating the performance of the three version management schemes from scheme 1 to scheme 3. Scheme 1 has the least storage usage. The average response time in Scheme 1 is extremely large, those of Scheme 3 is smaller than Scheme 2. Scheme 3 shows a good performance relatively.
