This paper describes a C++ class hierarchy of implicit objects for geometry modeling and processing. This class structure provides a software kernel for integrating many various models and methods found in current implicit modeling areas. The software kernel includes primitive objects playing a role of unit element in creating a complex shape, and operator objects used to construct more complex shape of implicit object formed with the primitive objects and other operators. In this paper, class descriptions of these objects are provided to better understand the details of the algorithm or implementation, and its instance examples to show the capabilities of the object classes for constructive shape geometry. In addition, solid modeling system shown as an application example demonstrates that the proposed implicit object classes allow us to carry out modern solid modeling techniques, which means they have the capabilities to extend to various applications.

In this work, we propose a concurrency control scheme in object-oriented database (OODB). Since an OODB provides complex modeling power than the conventional relational databases, a concurrency control technique in OODB is also rather complicated and has influence on the overall performance. Thus, it is very important to develop a concurrency control technique with less overhead. The proposed scheme deals with class hierarchy that is a key concept in OODBs. The proposed scheme is developed on implicit locking scheme. Also, the proposed scheme is designed using data access frequency in order to reduce locking overhead than implicit locking. It means that, if access frequency information is not available, the proposed scheme works just like the existing implicit locking, In our work, the correctness of the proposed scheme is proved. The performance is analyzed depending on access types. Also, it is proved that our scheme performs works much better than the implicit locking does.

Currently many non-traditional application areas such as artificial intelligence and web databases require advanced modeling power than the existing relational data model. In those application areas, object-oriented database (OODB) is better data model since an OODB can providemodeling power as grouping similar objects into class, and organizing all classes into a hierarchy where a subclass inherits all definitions from its superclasses. The purpose of this paper is to develop an OODB concurrency control scheme dealing with multiple inheritance. The proposed scheme, called Multiple Inheritance Implicit Locking (MIIL), is based on so-called implicit locking. In the proposed scheme, we eliminate redundant locks that are necessary in the existing implicit locking scheme. Intention locks are required as the existing implicit locking scheme. In this paper, it is shown that MIIL has less locking overhead than implicit locking does. We use only OODB inheritance hierarchies, single inheritance and multiple inheritance so that no additional overhead is necessary for reducing locking overhead.

객체지향 데이터베이스 시스템에서 많이 연구되고 있는 묵시적 권한부여(implicit authorization) 방법은 모든 객체에 대하여 일일이 권한을 부여하는 오버헤드를 줄이기 위한 방법이다. 묵시적 권한부여 방법에서는 기존의 권한과 새로이 추가될 권한간의 충돌(conflict) 여부의 효율적인 검사가 중요하다. 기존의 데이터베이스 단위 계층 구조( database granularity hierarchy)에서의 의도형 권한부여(intention type authorization) 기법은 자신의 자손 노드에 대한 권한을 쉽게 판정할 수는 있지만, 클래스 복합 계층 구조(class composition hierarchy)상에서의 임의의 한 노드 ni에 추가로 권한을 부여할 때 ni의 자손 노드와 복합 참조(composite reference)의 관계를 가지는 노드 nj들에 대한 권한과의 충돌 여부를 탐지하기 위하여 추가로 nj들에 대한 권한을 일일이 탐색해야 하는 어려움이 있었다. 본 논문에서는 클래스 복합 계층 구조에서의 묵시적 권한부여 하에서 발생할 수 있는 권한간의 충돌을 효율적으로 탐지하는 새로운 기법을 확장하여 제안한다. 제안된 복합 계층 의도형 권한부여(intention type authorization for composition hierarchy)기법은 계층 구조에서 복합 참조의 관계를 따라 nj를 일일이 탐색할 필요 없이 노드 ni에서 바로 충돌 여부를 판정할 수 있는 장점을 가진다.

This paper presents a framework for observable behavior that can be used as a basis for user modeling, and it reports the results of a pair of user studies that examine the joint utility of two specific behaviors. User models can be constructed by hand, or they can be teamed automatically based on feedback provided by the user about the relevance of documents that they have examined. By observing user behavior, it is possible to obtain implicit feedback without requiring explicit relevance judgments. Four broad categories of potentially observable behavior are identified : examine, retain, reference, and annotate, and examples of specific behaviors within a category are further subdivided based on the natural scope of information objects being manipulated . segment object, or class. Previous studies using Internet discussion groups (USENET news) have shown reading time to be a useful source of implicit feedback for predicting a user's preferences. The experiments reported in this paper extend that work to academic and professional journal articles and abstracts, and explore the relationship between printing behavior and reading time. Two user studies were conducted in which undergraduate students examined articles or abstracts from the telecommunications or pharmaceutical literature. The results showed that reading time can be used to predict the user's assessment of relevance, that the mean reading time for journal articles and technical abstracts is longer than has been reported for USENET news documents, and that printing events provide additional useful evidence about relevance beyond that which can be inferred from reading time. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of the implications of the reported results.

MIB(Management Information Base), one of the key components of network management system, is a conceptual repository for the information of the various managed objects. MIB stores and manages all the structural and operational data of each managed resources. Therefore, MIB should be protected properly from inadvertant user access or malicious attacks. International standard ISO/IEC 10164-9 describes several managed object classes for the enforcement of MIB security. Those managed object classes described access control rules for security policy. But the exact authorization procedures using those newly added managed object classes are not presented. In this paper, we divide managed object classes into two groups, explicit and implicit ones, and describe the access authorization procedure in Z specification language. Using Z as a description method for both authorization procedure and GDMO's action part, the behaviour of each managed object class and access authorization procedure is more precisely and formally defined than those of natural language form.

Recently, the necessity of automatic knowledge extraction from spatial data stored in spatial databases has been increased. Spatial data mining can be defined as the extraction of implicit knowledge, spatial relationships, or other knowledge not explicitly stored in spatial databases. In order to extract useful knowledge from spatial data, an object management system that can store spatial data efficiently, provide very fast indexing & searching mechanisms, and support a distributed computing environment is needed. In this paper, we designed and implemented an open object management system for spatial data mining, that supports efficient management of spatial, aspatial, and knowledge data. In order to develop this system, we used Open OODB that is a widely used object management system. However, the lark of facilities for spatial data mining in Open OODB, we extended it to support spatial data type, dynamic class generation, object-oriented inheritance, spatial index, spatial operations, etc. In addition, for further increasement of interoperability with other spatial database management systems or data mining systems, we adopted international standards such as ODMG 2.0 for data modeling, SDTS(Spatial Data Transfer Standard) for modeling and exchanging spatial data, and OpenGIS Simple Features Specification for CORBA for connecting clients and servers efficiently.
