Recently, unstructured data is rapidly being produced based on web-based services. NoSQL systems and key value stores that process unstructured data as key and value pairs are widely used in various applications. In this paper, a study was conducted on a skip list used for in-memory data management in an LSM-tree based key value store. The skip list used in the key value store is an insertion-based skip list that does not allow overwriting and processes all changes only by inserting. This behavior can support Multi-Version Concurrency Control (MVCC), which can simultaneously process multiple read/write requests through snapshot isolation. However, since duplicate keys exist in the skip list, the performance significantly degrades due to unnecessary node visits during a list traverse. In particular, serious overhead occurs when a range query or scan operation that collectively searches a specific range of data occurs. This paper proposes a newly designed Stride SkipList to reduce this overhead. The stride skip list additionally maintains an indexing pointer for the last node of the same key to avoid unnecessary node visits. The proposed scheme is implemented using RocksDB's in-memory component, and the performance evaluation shows that the performance of SCAN operation improves by up to 350 times compared to the existing skip list for various workloads.

Due to the proliferation of the Internet and intranet, new application domains such as stream data processing have emerged. Stream data is real-timely and continuously generated. In stream data environments, a lot of queries are registered, and then, the arrived data item is evaluated by registered queries. Thus, to accelerate the query performance, diverse continuous query index schemes have been proposed for stream data processing systems. In this paper, we focus on the query index technique for stream data. In general, a stream query contains the range condition. Thus, by using range conditions, the queries can be indexed. In this paper, we propose an efficient query index scheme, called QUISIS, using a modified Interval Skip Lists to accelerate search time. QUISIS utilizes a locality where a value which will arrive in near future is similar to the current value. Through the experimental study, we show the efficiency of our proposed method.

In this paper, an early termination algorithm for merge process is proposed to reduce the computational complexity in High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) encoder. In the HEVC, the same candidate modes from merge candidate list (MCL) are shared to predict a merge or merge SKIP mode. This search process is performed by the number of the obtained candidates for the both of the merge and SKIP modes. This may cause some redundant search operations. To reduce this redundant search operation, we employ the neighboring blocks which have been encoded in prior, to check on the contextual information. In this study, the spatial, temporal and depth neighboring blocks have been considered to compute a correlation information. With this correlation information, an early termination algorithm for merge process is suggested. When all modes of neighboring blocks are SKIP modes, then the merge process performs only SKIP mode. Otherwise, usual merge process of HEVC is performed Through experimental results, the proposed method achieves a time-saving factor of about 21.25% on average with small loss of BD-rate, when comparing to the original HM 10.0 encoder.

WBAN(Wireless Body Area Network)기반의 의료 응용으로 실시간 모니터링 시스템을 구현하였다. 특히 산소포화도 생체 센서들로부터 연속적으로 전송되는 스트림 데이터에 대해 다양한 조건을 포함하는 질의들이 실행 되는데 이러한 실시간 모니터링 질의들을 효율적으로 식별하기 위한 질의 인덱스를 설계하였다. 매번 모든 질의들을 실행하기에는 시간이 많이 걸리기 때문에 Interval Skip List 를 이용하여 빠르고 효율적으로 식별하도록 설계하였다. 이로써 위급한 상황의 환자의 건강에 문제가 생겼을 때 신속하게 대처할 수 있는 환경을 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 방대한 양의 스트림 데이터와 이 데이터를 실시간으로 감시할 수 있도록 Interval Skip List 를 스마트 메디컬 스페이스(m-MediNet)에 적용한 방법을 기술하고 있다.

In recent years, the number of users who are actively express their opinions about Internet articles is more and more growing up, as the use of cyber community such as weblog or Internet discussion board increases. In fact, it is not difficult to find an article with hundreds of comments in famous Internet discussion boards. Most of the weblogs or Internet discussion boards present comments in the form of list and do not yet support even the basic operation such as searching comments. In this paper, we analysed large sets of comments in Internet discussion board named AGORA. It was found that from the result that the distribution of comment writers follows power-law. So we suppose a new search structure of comments using skip lists. The main idea of our approach is to reflect the probabilistic distribution properties of the commenters following the power-law to the data structure. Our empirical results show that the proposed method performs more efficient in searching the nodes with fewer number of comparison operations than logN, which is the theoretical time complexity of general indexed structure such as B-trees or typical skip lists.

Traditional Pub/Sub(Publish/Subscribe) Systems search all subscriptions that match an incoming event by broker(i.e. it is not considering the accuracy of matching between an incoming event and subscriptions and only consider that an event either matches a subscription or not). However, subscriptions that match an event may have priority, therefore, we need priority Pub/Sub system. In this paper, we define what the accuracy means in order to prioritize among subscriptions and propose the Priority Retrieval Technique based on accuracy that able to search subscriptions. The Priority Retrieval Technique is based on IS-Lists. We can search the results ordered by accuracy.

공개키 기반 구조에서 가장 비용이 많이 드는 부분이 인증서가 유효한지 여부를 검증하는 것이다. 특히 고액의 주식 거래나 전자상거래에서 실시간 인증서 상태 검증은 반드시 필요하다. 그동안 연구되어 왔던 인증서 폐지 여부를 확인하는 방법으로 CRL, delta-CRL, OCSP, CRTs, CRSL 등의 방법들이 제안되었다. 하지만, 이들 방법들은 즉시성과 네트워크 비용간의 trade-off가 발생하는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 Simple skip lists를 사용하여 인증서 사용 용도에 따라 알맞게 서비스를 제공하는 방안인 OCRS를 제안한다.

In traditional Publish/Subscribe system, the first procedure to deliver event from publisher to subscriber is that publisher publishes publisher's event to broker. Next step is that broker checks simple binary notion of matching : an event either matches a subscription or it does not. Lastly, broker delivers the event matched with subscriptions to the corresponding subscribers. In this system, information delivery has been accomplished in one way only. However, current some applications require two way delivery between subscriber and publisher. Therefore, we initiate an extended Publish/Subscribe system that supports two way delivery. Extended Publish/Subscribe system requires additional functions of delivering subscription to publisher and especially deciding top-n subscriptions using priority because broker might has a number of subscriptions. In this paper, we propose two priority retrieval techniques based on SIF using IS-List with deciding priority among subscriptions and defining SIF(Specific Interval First). The performance measurements show that RSO(resulting set sorting) technique results in better performance in index creation time and ITS&IS(insertion time sorting and inverse search using stack) technique results in better performance in search time.

Finding similar strings is an important operation because textual data can have errors, duplications, and inconsistencies by nature. Many algorithms have been developed for string approximate searches and most of them make use of inverted lists to find similar strings. These algorithms basically perform merge operations on inverted lists. In this paper, we develop a bitmap representation of an inverted list and propose an efficient search algorithm that can skip unnecessary inverted lists without searching using bitmap filters. Experimental results show that the proposed technique consistently improve the performance of the search.

WBAN(Wireless Body Area Network)과 같은 스트림 데이터의 환경에서는 데이터가 아닌 질의들이 등록되어 있고 데이터들이 끊임없이 시스템에 도착한다. 때문에 도착한 데이터에 대해서 처리할 수 있는 질의만을 찾아 해당 질의들만을 수행하도록 해서 시스템의 질의 부담을 덜어주는 방법이 필요하다. 기존의 단순하고 단편적인 질의의 문제점을 해결하고자 본 연구에서는 Interval Skip List 자료 구조와 시간기반 윈도우를 이용하여 효율적인 실시간 모니터링 시스템을 구현하였다. 특히 산소포화도 생체 센서들로부터 연속적으로 전송되는 스트림 데이터에 대해 다양한 조건을 포함하는 질의들이 실행 되는데 이러한 실시간 모니터링 질의들을 효율적으로 식별하기 위한 질의 인덱스를 설계하였다.
