Spatial data base system provides many query types and most of them are required frequent disk I/O and much CPU time. k-NN search is to find k-th closest object from the query point and up to now, several k-NN search methods have been proposed. Among these, MINMAX distance method has an aim not to access unnecessary node by adapting pruning technique. But this method accesses more disks than necessary while pruning unnecessary nodes. In this paper, we propose new k-NN search algorithm based on density of object. With this method, we predict the radius to be expected to contain k-NN objects using density of data set and search those objects within this radius and then adjust radius if failed. Experimental results show that this method outperforms the previous MINMAX distance method. This algorithm visit less disks than MINMAX method by the factor of maximum 22% and average 7%.

Due to the recent advancement of cloud computing, the research on database outsourcing has been actively done. Moreover, the number of users who utilize Location-based Services(LBS) has been increasing with the development in w ireless communication technology and mobile devices. Therefore, LBS providers attempt to outsource their spatial database to service provider, in order to reduce costs for data storage and management. However, because unauthorized access to sensitive data is possible in spatial database outsourcing, it is necessary to study on the preservation of a user's privacy. Thus, we, in this paper, propose a spatial data encryption scheme to produce outsourced database from an original database. We also propose a k-Nearest Neighbor(k-NN) query processing algorithm that efficiently performs k-NN by using the outsourced database. Finally, we show from performance analysis that our algorithm outperforms the existing one.

This paper deals with an efficient index scheduling technique based on Hilbert curve and MBR for k-NN query in a single wireless broadcast channel environment. Previous works have two major problems. One is that they need a long time to process queries due to the back-tracking problem. The other is that they have to download too many spatial data since they can not reduce search space rapidly. Our proposed method broadcasts spatial data based on Hilbert curve order where a distributed index table is also broadcast with each spatial data. Each entry of index table represents the MBR which groups spatial data. By predicting the unknown location of spatial data, our proposed index scheme allows mobile clients to remove unnecessary data and to reduce search space rapidly. As a result, our method gives the decreased tuning time and access latency.

Recently, due to the advanced technologies of mobile devices and wireless communication, there are many studies on telematics and LBS(location-based service) applications. because moving objects usually move on spatial networks, their locations are updated frequently, leading to the degradation of retrieval performance. To manage the frequent updates of moving objects' locations in an efficient way, a new distributed grid scheme, called DS-GRID (distributed S-GRID), and k-NN(k-nearest neighbor) query processing algorithm was proposed[1]. However, the result of k-NN query processing technique may be invalidated as the location of query and moving objects are changed. Therefore, it is necessary to study on continuous k-NN query processing algorithm. In this paper, we propose both MCE-CKNN and MBP(Monitoring in Border Point)-CKNN algorithmss are S-GRID. The MCE-CKNN algorithm splits a query route into sub-routes based on cell and seproves retrieval performance by processing query in parallel way by. In addition, the MBP-CKNN algorithm stores POIs from the border points of each grid cells and seproves retrieval performance by decreasing the number of accesses to the adjacent cells. Finally, it is shown from the performance analysis that our CKNN algorithms achieves 15-53% better retrieval performance than the Kolahdouzan's algorithm.

Outsourcing databases is to offload storage and computationally intensive tasks to the third party server. Therefore, data owners can manage big data, and handle queries from clients, without building a costly infrastructure. However, because of the insecurity of network systems, the third-party server may be untrusted, thus the query results from the server may be tampered with. This problem has motivated significant research efforts on authenticating various queries such as range query, kNN query, function query, etc. Although aggregation queries play a key role in analyzing big data, authenticating aggregation queries has not been extensively studied, and the previous works are not efficient for data with high dimension or a large number of distinct values. In this paper, we propose the AMR-tree that is a data structure, applied to authenticate aggregation queries. We also propose an efficient proof construction method and a verification method with the AMR-tree. Furthermore, we validate the performance of the proposed algorithm by conducting various experiments through changing parameters such as the number of distinct values, the number of records, and the dimension of data.

Recently, continuous k-nearest neighbor query(CkNN) which is defined as a query to find the nearest points of interest to all the points on a given path is widely used in the LBS(Location Based Service) and ITS(Intelligent Transportation System) applications. It is necessary to acquire results quickly in the above applications and be applicable to spatial network databases. This paper proposes a new method to search nearest POIs(Point Of Interest) for moving query objects on the spatial networks. The method produces a set of split points and their corresponding k-POIs as results. There is no order between the POIs. The analysis show that the proposed method outperforms the existing methods.

본 논문에서는 다양한 타입의 위치기반 데이터들을 하나의 R-tree로 통합합 $R^m$-tree의 구조와 이 $R^m$-tree를 이용하여 질의 포인트로부터 각 타입에서 k개의 가까운 위치기반 데이터를 찾는 mkNN(multi-type k nearest neighbor) 질의 처리기법을 제안하였다. 특히, 다양한 타입의 위치기반 데이터들을 각 타입별로 독립된 R-tree로 유지하지 않고, 하나의 $R^m$-tree로 통합하여 관리함으로써 mkNN 질의 처리시 같은 레벨의 공간의 반복탐색을 줄일 수 있도록 고안하였다. 그리고 각 타입 t에 대한 위치데이터를 관리하는 부가적인 타입정보 자료구조로서 위치정보를 담은 TMBR, 데이터 개수정보를 담은 $I_t$-entry를 새로이 고안하여 mkNN질의 처리시 효율적인 휠터링(filtering)과 검색과정이 이루어지도록 하였다.

대용량 데이터를 분석하기 위한 맵리듀스 기반 k-NN 조인 질의처리 알고리즘은 최근 데이터 마이닝 및 분석을 기반으로 하는 응용 분야에서 매우 중요하게 활용되고 있다. 그러나, 대표적인 연구인 보로노이 기반 k-NN 조인 질의처리 알고리즘은 보로노이 인덱스 구축 비용이 매우 크기 때문에 대용량 데이터에 적합하지 못하다. 아울러 보로노이 셀 정보를 저장하기 위해 사용하는 R-트리는 맵리듀스 환경의 분산 병렬 처리에 적합하지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 새로운 그리드 인덱스 기반의 k-NN 조인 질의 처리 알고리즘을 제안한다. 첫째, 높은 인덱스 구축 비용 문제를 해결하기 위해, 데이터 분포를 고려한 동적 그리드 인덱스 생성 기법을 제안한다. 둘째, 맵리듀스 환경에서 효율적으로 k-NN 조인 질의를 수행하기 위해, 인접셀 정보를 시그니처로 활용하는 후보영역 탐색 및 필터링 알고리즘을 제안한다. 마지막으로 성능 평가를 통해 제안하는 기법이 질의 처리 시간 측면에서 기존 기법에 비해 최대 3배 높은 질의 처리 성능을 나타냄을 보인다.

Recently, advances in mobile devices and wireless communication technologies require research on various location-based services. As a result, many studies on processing k-nearest neighbor query, which is most im portant one in location-based services, have been done. Most of existing studies use pre-computation technique to improve retrieval performance by computing network distance between POIs and nodes beforehand in spatial networks. However, they have a drawback that they can not deal with effectively the update of POIs to be searched. In this paper, we propose a distributed grid scheme using S-GRID to overcome the disadvantage of the existing work as well as to manage the location information of a large number of moving objects in efficient way. In addition, we describe a k-nearest neighbor(k-NN) query processing algorithm for the proposed distributed grid scheme. Finally, we show the efficiency of our distributed grid scheme by making a performance comparison between the k-NN query processing algorithm of our scheme and that of S-GRID.

Recently, k-farthest neighbor (kFN) queries have not as much attention as k-nearest neighbor (kNN) queries. Therefore, this study considers moving k-farthest neighbor (MkFN) queries for spatial network databases. Given a positive integer k, a moving query point q, and a set of data points P, MkFN queries can constantly retrieve k data points that are farthest from the query point q. The challenge with processing MkFN queries in spatial networks is to avoid unnecessary or superfluous distance calculations between the query and associated data points. This study proposes a batch processing algorithm, called MOFA, to enable efficient processing of MkFN queries in spatial networks. MOFA aims to avoid dispensable distance computations based on the clustering of both query and data points. Moreover, a time complexity analysis is presented to clarify the effect of the clustering method on the query processing time. Extensive experiments using real-world roadmaps demonstrated the efficiency and scalability of the MOFA when compared with a conventional solution.
