High speed network makes possible to transfer not only the test data but also multimedia data such as audio, image, and moving pictures and etc. In a multimedia applications, as a multimedia storage system, it is necessary to use a disk array to store and retrieve data by real time. It is important feature to various disk array parameters as a storage system on a real VOD system, such as configuration method of each disks and allocation method of multimedia data. In this paper, various parameters for the disk array are decided to be used for the video-on-demand system application by simulations in two ways. The real and simulation measurement are compared and analyzed on the performance. Simulation results shows that RAID level 5 and 256KB as striping unit and 185KB as data requests size per seconds are suitable parameter for the disk array architecture which provides MPEG-1 files with a rate of 1.5Mbps in two measurements of real and simulation.

RAID were proposed to stored double data or used to parity logging methode for error recovery. We describe a technique for automating the execution of redundant disk array operation, including recovery from errors, independent of array architecture. RAID5 provide highly reliable cost effective secondary storage with high performance for read access and large write accessed. It discusses the two architectural techniques used in disk arrays, striping across multiple disks to improve performance and redundancy to improve reliability. In this paper we compare with performance and reliability in RAID5 real/write to file and stripe size. than suggest to algorithm.

One of the most important functionality that commercial video storage servers should provide is to maximize the number of concurrent streams and to minimize the initial latency of new requests. In this paper, we propose a data placement scheme whose disk read unit size can be twice large than that of conventional striping methods. The proposed scheme can significantly increase the number of concurrent streams, since the ratio of rotational latency time is decreased and the disks are effectively utilized. The disk scheduling scheme we propose guarantees constant initial latency time. We also propose a procedural design method for a storage server by introducing the concept of allowed initial latency. The comparison with previous research shows that the proposed scheme provides better performance.

Our research purpose in this paper is to improve the performance of query processing in GIS(Geographic Information System) by enhancing the I/O performance exploiting parallel I/O and efficient disk access. By packing adjacent spatial data, which are very likely to be referenced concurrently, into one block or continuous disk blocks, the number of disk accesses and the disk access overhead for query processing can be decreased, and this eventually leads to the I/O time decrease. So, in this paper, we proposes EPR(Enhanced Parallel R-tree) indexing method which integrates the parallel I/O method of the previous Parallel R-tree method and a packing-based clustering method. The major characteristics of EPR method are as follows. First, EPR method arranges spatial data in the increasing order of proximity by using Hilbert space filling curve, and builds a packed R-tree by bottom-up manner. Second, with packing-based clustering in which arranged spatial data are clustered into continuous disk blocks, EPR method generates spatial data clusters. Third, EPR method distributes EPR index nodes and spatial data clusters on multiple disks through round-robin striping. Experimental results show that EPR method achieves up to 30% or more gains over PR method in query processing speed. In particular, the larger the size of disk blocks is and the smaller the size of spatial data objects is, the better the performance of query processing by EPR method is.

Energy conservation of server systems has become important. Though storage subsystem is one of the biggest power consumers, development of energy conservation techniques is challenging problem due to striping techniques like RAID and physical characteristics of hard disks. According to our observation, the size of footprint for a day or for hours is much smaller compared to the size of whole data set. In this paper, we describe a design of a novel architecture for RAID that uses an SSD as a large cache to conserve energy by holding such a footprint. We incorporate these approaches into a real implementation of a RAID 5 system that consists of four hard disks and an SSD in a Linux environment. Our preliminary results in actual performance measurements using the cello99 and SPC traces show that energy consumption is reduced by a maximum of 14%.

The use of agent paradigm in today's applications is hampered by the security concerns of agents and hosts alike. The agents require the presence of a secure and trusted execution environment; while hosts aim at preventing the execution of potentially malicious code. In general, hosts support the migration of agents through the provision of an agent server and managing the activities of arriving agents on the host. Numerous studies have been conducted to address the security concerns present in the mobile agent paradigm with a strong focus on the theoretical aspect of the problem. Various proposals in Intrusion Detection Systems aim at securing hosts in traditional client-server execution environments. The use of such proposals to address the security of agent hosts is not desirable since migrating agents typically execute on hosts as a separate thread of the agent server process. Agent servers are open to the execution of virtually any migrating agent; thus the intent or tasks of such agents cannot be known a priori. It is also conceivable that migrating agents may wish to hide their intentions from agent servers. In light of these observations, this work attempts to bridge the gap from theory to practice by analyzing the security mechanisms available in Aglet. We lay the foundation for implementation of application specific protocols dotted with access control, secured communication and ability to detect tampering of agent data. As agents exists in a distributed environment, our proposal also introduces a novel security framework to address the security concerns of hosts through collaboration and pattern matching even in the presence of differing views of the system. The introduced framework has been implemented on the Aglet platform and evaluated in terms of accuracy, false positive, and false negative rates along with its performance strain on the system.

A high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was performed using the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model for the lower plenum of the High-Temperature Test Facility (HTTF), a ¼ scale test facility of the modular high temperature gas-cooled reactor (MHTGR) managed by Oregon State University. In most next-generation nuclear reactors, thermal stress due to thermal striping is one of the risks to be curiously considered. This is also true for HTGRs, especially since the exhaust helium gas temperature is high. In order to evaluate these risks and performance, organizations in the United States led by the OECD NEA are conducting a thermal hydraulic code benchmark for HTGR, and the test facility used for this benchmark is HTTF. HTTF can perform experiments in both normal and accident situations and provide high-quality experimental data. However, it is difficult to provide sufficient data for benchmarking through experiments, and there is a problem with the reliability of CFD analysis results based on Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes to analyze thermal hydraulic behavior without verification. To solve this problem, high-fidelity 3-D CFD analysis was performed using the LES model for HTTF. It was also verified that the LES model can properly simulate this jet mixing phenomenon via a unit cell test that provides experimental information. As a result of CFD analysis, the lower the dependency of the sub-grid scale model, the closer to the actual analysis result. In the case of unit cell test CFD analysis and HTTF CFD analysis, the volume-averaged sub-grid scale model dependency was calculated to be 13.0% and 9.16%, respectively. As a result of HTTF analysis, quantitative data of the fluid inside the HTTF lower plenum was provided in this paper. As a result of qualitative analysis, the temperature was highest at the center of the lower plenum, while the temperature fluctuation was highest near the edge of the lower plenum wall. The power spectral density of temperature was analyzed via fast Fourier transform (FFT) for specific points on the center and side of the lower plenum. FFT results did not reveal specific frequency-dominant temperature fluctuations in the center part. It was confirmed that the temperature power spectral density (PSD) at the top increased from the center to the wake. The vortex was visualized using the well-known scalar Q-criterion, and as a result, the closer to the outlet duct, the greater the influence of the mainstream, so that the inflow jet vortex was dissipated and mixed at the top of the lower plenum. Additionally, FFT analysis was performed on the support structure near the corner of the lower plenum with large temperature fluctuations, and as a result, it was confirmed that the temperature fluctuation of the flow did not have a significant effect near the corner wall. In addition, the vortices generated from the lower plenum to the outlet duct were identified in this paper. It is considered that the quantitative and qualitative results presented in this paper will serve as reference data for the benchmark.

Performances of retroreflectivity vary place to place, according to traffic volumes and time lengths after striping, depending on pavement marking materials and colors. The present paper uses the nation wide data of retroreflectivity, which has been collected from freeways and then tries to develop the regression curve setting traffic volume and service life as independent variables and retroreflectivities as dependent variables. The DB system includes two year's measurement in $2005{\sim}2006$ over Korean freeway pavement marking at an interval of three months for the period. The mobile measurement system, a laserlux, was employed for the purpose. The DB has provided a lot of information about materials and performance of the specific pavement marking such as geometric features, traffic volumes, material characteristics and the installation date. This study provides the comparison of pavement marking performances under diversified conditions. Based on accumulated pavement marking performances, this study provides performance curves based on the diversified factors. The goal of the retroreflectivity modeling is to develop equations that can be used to estimate an average retroreflectivity of pavement markings as a function time since application and traffic volume. After representing the variation of retroreflectivities and estimating regression curves by linear, exponential, logarithmic and power function, the regression curve which had the highest coefficient of determination and the value similar to the last field measurement was regarded as the retroreflectivity decay model. As a result of verification, the decay model showed the signification within the 90% confidence level and especially showed the clear relation with field data according to increase of cumulative vehicle exposure. Accordingly, these models can be used to determine service lives, retroreflectivity degradation rates, and retroreflectivity of new markings.
