The preservation of temporal dependencies among a group of processes that exchange continuous media at runtime is a key issue for emerging mobile distributed systems (MDS), such as monitoring of biosignals and interactive multiuser games. Although several works are oriented to satisfy temporal dependencies, most of them are not suitable for MDSs. In general, an MDS is characterized by the absence of global references (e.g. shared memory and wall clock), host mobility, limited processing and storage capabilities in mobile hosts, and limited bandwidth on wireless communication channels. This paper proposes an asymmetric synchronization protocol to be used at runtime in an MDS without using a common reference. One main aspect of our synchronization protocol is that it translates temporal constraints to causal dependencies of the continuous media data as seen by the mobile hosts. We simulate the protocol by considering a cellular network environment and by using MPEG-4 encoders. The simulation results show that our protocol is effective in reducing the synchronization error. In addition, the protocol is efficient in terms of processing and storage costs at the mobile devices, as well as in the overhead attached per message across the wired and wireless channels.

This research investigates the impact of charge spreading on the data retention of three-dimensional (3D) silicon-oxide-nitride-oxide-silicon (SONOS) flash memory where the charge trapping layer is shared along the cell string. In order to do so, this study conducts an electrical analysis of the planar SONOS test pattern where the silicon nitride charge storage layer is not isolated but extends beyond the gate electrode. Experimental results from the test pattern show larger retention loss in the devices with extended storage layers compared to isolated devices. This retention degradation is thought to be the result of an additional charge spreading through the extended silicon nitride layer along the width of the memory cell, which should be improved for the successful 3-D application of SONOS flash devices.

The exponential growth of information on the web far exceeds the capacity of present day information retrieval systems and search engines, making information integration on the web difficult. In order to overcome this, semantic web technologies were proposed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to achieve a higher degree of automation and precision in information retrieval systems. Semantic web, with its promise to deliver machine understanding to the traditional web, has attracted a significant amount of research from academia as well as from industries. Semantic web is an extension of the current web in which data can be shared and reused across the internet. RDF and ontology are two essential components of the semantic web architecture which support a common framework for data storage and representation of data semantics, respectively. Ontologies being the backbone of semantic web applications, it is more relevant to study various approaches in their application, usage, and integration into web services. In this article, an effort has been made to review the research work being undertaken in the area of design and development of ontology supported information systems. This paper also briefly explains the emerging semantic web technologies and standards.

The Pocket PC has become more popular in market because of the advantages of its small size and convenience for regular customers. Pocket PC is a mobile device so that we can receive the benefits of shared data over a wireless network. Enabling us to transmit data to a central location, simply messaging from one point to the next, its ability to share information across a wireless platform is becoming central to our communication needs. However, using Windows CE - an embedded operating system, as well as being designed for mobile users, there are many limitations to memory and speed of arithmetic operations on Pocket PC. As a result, developers have to deal with many difficulties in managing information storage when developing applications, especially Geography Information System (GIS) applications. In this paper, we propose some efficient methods to store GIS data and to increase the speed of displaying maps in GIS applications developed on Pocket PC and Windows CE 3.0.

The widespread usage of blockchain technology in cryptocurrencies has led to the adoption of the blockchain concept in data storage management systems for secure and effective data storage and management. Several innovative studies have proposed solutions that integrate blockchain with distributed databases. In this article, we review current blockchain databases, then focus on two well-known blockchain databases-BigchainDB and FalconDB-to illustrate their architecture and design aspects in more detail. BigchainDB is a distributed database that integrates blockchain properties to enhance immutability and decentralization as well as a high transaction rate, low latency, and accurate queries. Its architecture consists of three layers: the transaction layer, consensus layer, and data model layer. FalconDB, on the other hand, is a shared database that allows multiple clients to collaborate on the database securely and efficiently, even if they have limited resources. It has two layers: the authentication layer and the consensus layer, which are used with client requests and results. Finally, a comparison is made between the two blockchain databases, revealing that they share some characteristics such as immutability, low latency, permission, horizontal scalability, decentralization, and the same consensus protocol. However, they vary in terms of database type, concurrency mechanism, replication model, cost, and the usage of smart contracts.

낸드 플래시 메모리 기반 저장장치는 성능을 높이기 위하여 내부에 다수의 플래시 메모리가 공유하는 데이터 버스들을 구성하고, 이 구조를 이용하여 다수의 플래시 메모리 오퍼레이션을 동시에 수행하는 병렬 기법을 사용한다. 저장장치의 성능은 개별 데이터 버스의 성능에 의하여 많은 영향을 받기 때문에, 저장장치 컨트롤러가 오퍼레이션을 효과적으로 스케줄링 함으로써 버스의 성능을 높이는 것이 중요하다. 그러나 오퍼레이션 별로 상이한 동작시간과 버스사용 특성으로 인하여 시시각각 변화하는 버스의 상황은 스케줄링을 어렵게 만든다. 또한 단순히 버스 사용효율을 높이기 위한 스케줄링 기법은 예상하지 못한 오퍼레이션의 지연과 저장장치의 자원 낭비를 초래할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 데이터 버스의 성능과 저장장치의 자원 효율을 고려한 동적인 오퍼레이션 스케줄링 기법들을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법들은 오퍼레이션을 세 단계로 구분한 후 오퍼레이션의 특성과 데이터 버스의 상황에 따라 이들을 스케줄링 한다. 제안된 기법들을 컨트롤러에 적용하여 FPGA 플랫폼에서 검증한 결과, 제안된 기법을 적용한 컨트롤러는 정적인 스케줄링 기법을 사용하는 컨트롤러에 비하여 쓰기 오퍼레이션의 수가 1.9% 줄어들었으며 4-7% 높은 버스 사용효율과 4-19% 높은 처리량을 보였다.

The aim of this study is to identify the floor plan types of folk houses or traditional vernacular dwellings found in Nagan Folk Village located in Joellanamdo province. Examining the floor plans appeared among 36 vernacular folk houses presumably built in the 19th century in the village by means of the changes in the number of bays of Anche, the mail block of the house, the study was also able to construct a spatial compositional process of floor plan development. The floor plan examination revealed that the basic floor plan type in Nagan folk housing was '一' shape, a typical southern dwelling based on the existing classification. This basic type is consisted of three bays or rooms: Jeongji (kitchen), Anbang (large room), and Jageunbang (small room). New spaces or rooms are added to this three room house to expand the house as the residential functions become more complex, such as more living and storage spaces. The expansion appears to have two direction. On the one hand, it has been taken place by inserting Marea, an open wooden floor living space between Anbang and Jageunbang to meet the extended living demand. On the other, Jeongjibang, a second kitchen/storage has been attached to Jeongji outward for extra cooking and storage. This two-way expansion shows the trend of symmetric expansion between cooking, storing space and dwelling space. It can be implied that the arrangement of house rooms has been structurally formulated and shared by the farmer-builders in the 19th century in Nagan village who appeared to be influenced by fixed images for housing.

SAN(Storage Area Network) 환경에서 대용량 파일 시스템 지원을 위한 회복 기법으로 저널링(journaling) 방법을 사용하였다. 그러나, 기존의 저널링 방법에서는 다른 호스트가 변경된 메타 데이터에 접근하는 경우 메타 데이터를 디스크에 반영하고 읽어 가기 때문에 디스크 입/출력 횟수가 증가하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 또한, 기존의 저널링 기법에서는 메타 데이터에 대한 회복만을 지원하고 실제 중요 데이터에 대한 회복을 지원하지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 SAN 환경에서 전역 버퍼(Global Buffer)를 이용하여 다른 호스트에 존재하는 변경된 메타 데이터에 접근할 경우, 메타 데이터에 대한 디스크 입/출력을 하지 않고, 네트워크를 통해 메타 데이터를 요청한 호스트에 직접 전송해줌으로써 디스크 입/출력 수를 줄이는 회복 기법을 제안한다. 전역 버퍼를 이용한 메타 데이터 관리 기법을 통해 SAN환경의 리눅스 공유 디스크 파일 시스템에서 메타 데이터 변경 연산 시 트랜잭션 처리 속도를 향상시킬 수 있는 장점을 얻을 수 있다. 또한, 본 논문에서 제안한 기법은 메타 데이터뿐만 아니라 일반 중요 데이터에 대해서도 저널링함으로써 시스템이 실패한 경우에도 중요 데이터에 대한 정보를 유지하는 장점이 있다.

일반적인 비 공유 저장장치를 가진 시스템에서는 특정 컨텐츠에 대한 편향된(skewed) 요청 문제를 피할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 비 공유 저장장치 모델로 설계/구현된 클러스터 기반의 시트리밍 서버에서 사용자의 편향된 컨텐츠 요청에 대처할 수 있고 스트리밍 서비스 중인 서버 또는 NS 카드에 문제가 생기더라도 스트리밍 서비스가 중단되지 않도록 다중 스트리밍 방법인 MDC(Multiple Description Coding)를 적용한 스트리밍 전송방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 클러스터 시스템에서 단일 세션으로 스트리밍 서비스를 제공하는 것이 아니라 MDC 를 활용하여 다중 세션을 통한 스트리밍 서비스를 제공함으로써 모든 서버의 부하가 같아지고, 특정 서버에 문제가 발생하더라도 스트리밍 서비스가 끊어지지 않으면서 MDC 의 특성인 적응형 서비스도 가능하게 되는 장점이 있다.

Medical environments incorporate complex and integrated data networks to transfer vast amounts of patient information, such as images, waveforms, and other digital data. To assure interoperability of images, waveforms and patient data, health level seven(HL7) was developed as an international standard to facilitate the communication and storage of medical data. We also adopted medical waveform description format encoding rule(MFER) standard for encoding waveform biosignal such as ECG, EEG and so on. And, the study converted a broad domain of clinical data on patients, including MFER, into a HL7 message, and saved them in a clinical database in hospital. According to results obtained in the test environment, it was possible to acquire the same HL7 message and biosignal data as ones acquired during transmission. Through this study, we might conclude that the proposed system can be a promising model for electronic medical record system in u-healthcare environment.
