As the application fields of sensor nodes are getting diverse these days, it is required to have a way of collecting various data that is suitable for these application fields. In the case that the real-time surveillance over the data is unnecessary, present data collecting methods, which collect and transfer the data directly, can cause a waste of energy and data loss, A new method that store the collected data in a local storage and acquire them by query later on is required for nonreal-time applications. NAND flash has energy efficiency and large capacity so it is suitable for sensor nodes, Sensor nodes support 4-10 KBytes small sized memory and it is hard to build an effective file system since NAND Flash doesn't support overwriting NAND flash. This paper discusses an implementation of NAND Flash file system in sensor node environments. The file system makes long-term data collecting possible by reducing transmission cost. It is expected that this file system will play a central role in sensor network environments as it can be applied to various fields which call for long term data collecting.

Thumbnail, the small sized graphic file such as JPEG or GIF, serves to help the users to be recognized as a rapidly helps to make it easier recognize while browsing the large sized graphic file. Gallery application, which is installed in a later version of the 4.4.x(Kitkat) Android smartphone records the generated time of graphic file in thumbnail metadata. Thumbnail can be used to draw up the timeline of user action about user's action such as creation, modification, deletion with original graphic file analysis. Also, take advantage of the features thumbnails are stored sequentially in a single thumbcache file, even if the thumbcache is deleted, we can restore the thumbnails. This paper illustrates the feature of thumbnail created by Android OS basic gallery app and methods for utilization in digital forensics.

Log-Structured File System(LFS) is a disk based file system that is optimized for improving the write performance. LFS gathers dirty data in memory as long as possible, and flushes all dirty data sequentially at once. In a real system, however, maintaining dirty data in memory should be flushed into a disk to meet file system consistency issues even if more memory is still available. This synchronizations increase the cleaner overhead of LFS and make LFS to write down more metadata into a disk. In this paper, by adapting Non-volatile RAM(NV-RAM) we modifies LFS and virtual memory subsystem to guarantee that LFS could gather enough dirty data in the memory and reduce small disk writes. By doing so, we improves the performance of LFS by around 2.5 times than the original LFS.

With the development of information and communication technology, we have been able to access and manage documents containing corporate information anytime and anywhere using smart devices. As the work environment changes to smart work, the scope of information distribution is expanded, and more efforts are needed to manage security. This paper proposes a file sharing system that enables users who have smart devices to manage and share files through mutual cooperation. Proposed file sharing system, the user can add a partner to share files with each other when uploading files kept by spliting the part of the file and the other uses an algorithm to store on the server. After converting the file to be uploaded to base64, it splits it into encrypted files among users, and then transmits it to the server when it wants to share. It is easy to manage and control files using dedicated application to view files and has high security. Using the system developed with proposed algorithm, it is possible to build a system with high efficiency even for SMEs(small and medium-sized enterprises) that can not pay much money for security.

The purposes of this study were to assess the accuracy of measurements in pre-enlarged canals with small instruments and to compare the accuracies, in enlarged canal, with small size instruments and instruments that match the actual canal diameter using Root ZX, Bingo1020, SmarPex, and e-Magic Finder. Ten extracted teeth were embedded in an alginate model made for testing apex locators. A size 10 file was placed into the root canal until the tip of the file reached the plane of the major diameter of the foramen under a dental operating microscope at the 25 x magnification. The measurement was done with digital caliper and defined as actual length. Electronic length measurement with a size 10 file in pre-enlarged canal was done by reading the index indicating Apex of each device to gain a definite value After completion of canal enlargement to a size 45 file, each difference between actual length and electric measurement value with a size 10 and 40 files in enlarged canal was recorded as L10 and L40. The one-way ANOVA and Scheffe's multiple range tests were computed for analyze the differences among the four apex locators in the same group. The Student's t-test between L10 and L40 of each locator was done. The accuracies of electronic measurements were significantly different among the 4 devices. The file size made no difference on the accuracy of electronic measurement in enlarged canal with same device. The e-Magic Finder was the most accurate device among the 4 apex locators used in this study.

The FAT (File Allocation Table) compatible file system has been widely used in mobile devices and memory cards because of its data exchangeability among numerous platforms recognizing the FAT file system. By the way. modern embedded systems have tough demands for instant power failure recovery and superior performance for multimedia applications. The key issue is how to achieve the goals of superior write performance and instant booting capability while controlling compatibility issues. To achieve the goals while controlling compatibility issues. we devised a temporary meta-data journaling scheme for a FAT compatible file system. Benchmark results of the scheme implemented in a FAT compatible file system shows that it really improves write performance of the FAT file system by converting small random write for meta-data update to a large sequential write in journaling area. Also, it provides natural way to implement the instant booting capability. Nevertheless, the file system compatibility is temporarily compromised by the scheme because it stores updated meta-data in the temporary journaling area rather than to their original locations. However, the compatibility can be fully recovered at any time by journal-flushing that copies meta-data in journaling area to their original locations. Generally, the journal-flushing is done before un-mounting a memory card so that it can be used in other mobile devices which recognized FAT file system but not the temporary meta-data journaling scheme.

Existing techniques for defragmentation of the file system need intensive disk operation for some periods at specific time such as disk defragmentation program. In this paper, for solving this problem, we design and implement the automatic and continuous defragmentation free system by distributing the disk operation. We propose the Automatic Layout Scoring(ALS) mechanism for measuring defragmentation degree and suggest the Lazy Copy mechanism that copies the defragmented data at idle time for scattering the disk operation. We search the defragmented file by Automatic Layout Scoring mechanism and then find for empty spaces for that searched file. After lazy copy of searched fils to empty space for preventing that file from being lost, the algorithm solves the defragmentation problem by updating the I-node of that file. We implement these algorithms in Linux and evaluate them for small and defragmented file to get the layout scoring. We outperform the Linux EXT2 file system by $2.4%{\sim}10.4%$ in layout scoring evaluation. And the performance of read and write for various file size is better than the EXT2 by $1%{\sim}8.5%$ for write performance and by $1.2%{\sim}7.5%$ for read performance. We suggest this system for solving the problem of defragmentation automatically without disturbing the I/O task and manual management.

Due to the growth of embedded systems and the development of semi-conductor and storage devices, digital convergence devises is ever growing. Digital convergence devices are equipments into which various functions such as communication, playing movies and wave files and electronic dictionarys are integrated. Example are portable multimedia players(PMPs), personal digital assistants(PDAs), and smart phones. Therefore, these devices need an efficient file system which manages and controls various types of files. In designing such file systems, the size constraint for small embedded systems as well as performance and compatibility should be taken into account. In this paper, we suggest the partial buffer cache technique. Contrary to the traditional buffer cache, the partial buffer cache is used for only the FAT meta data and write-only data. Simulation results show that we could enhance the write performance more than 30% when the file size is larger than about 100 KBytes.

This paper presents the SIC(Size-Interval-Count) prefetching scheme that can record the file access patterns of applications within a relatively small space of memory based on the repetitiveness of the file access patterns. Several knowledge-based prefetching methods were recently introduced, which includes high correctness in predicting future accesses of applications. They records the access patterns of applications and uses recorded access pattern information to predict which blocks will be requested next. Yet, these methods require to much memory space. Accordingly, the proposed method then uses the recorded file access patterns, referred to as "SIC access pattern information", to correctly predict the future accesses of the applications. The proposed prefetching method improved the response time by about 40% compared to the general file system and showed remarkable memory efficiency compared to the previously knowledge-based prefetching methods.
