  • SAN(Storage Area Network) was developed in response to the requirements of high availability of data, scalable growth, and system performance. In order to use the SAN more efficiently, most of the SAN operating software supports storage virtualization concepts that allow users to view physical storage devices of the SAN as a large volume. A logical volume manager plays a key role in storage virtualization. It realizes the storage virtualization by mapping logical addresses to physical addresses. In this paper, we design and implement an efficient and flexible mapping method for the logical volume manager. Additionally we also design and implement a free space management method for flexible mapping. Our mapping method supports a snapshot that preserves a volume image at certain time and on-line reorganization to allow users to add or remove storage devices to and from the SAN even while the system is running. To justify our mapping method, we compare it with the mapping method of the GFS (Global File System) through various experiments.

  • The essential requirements of neural network for human skill transfer are fast convergence, high storage capacity, and strong noise immunity. Bidirectional associative memory(BAM) suffering from low storage capacity and abundance of spurious memories is rarely used for skill transfer application though it has fast and wide association characteristics for visual data. This paper suggests generalization of classical BAM structure and new learning algorithm which uses supervised learning to guarantee perfect recall starting with correlation matrix. The generalization is validated to accelerate convergence speed, to increase storage capacity, to lessen spurious memories, to enhance noise immunity, and to enable multiple association using simulation work.

  • This paper presnts a controller for the heat capacity of thermal storage systems using off-peak electricity which is composed of an identifier using neural networks and a storage time adjuster in order to store exactly the required thermal energy without loss. Since thermal storage systems have nonlinear characteristics and large time constant, even if we predict the heating load accurately, it is very difficult to store exactly the required thermal energy. Thus, in the neural network for the identifier, the adaptive learning rate for high learning speed and bit inputs based on state changes of thermal storage power source are used. Also a hardware for the controller using a microprocessor is developed. The performance of the proposed controller is shown by experiment.

  • This paper designs a virtual USB drive for mobile devices which gives an illusion of a traditional USB flash memory drive and provides capacity-free storage space over IP network. The virtual USB drive operating with a S3C2410 hardware platform and embedded linux consists of USB device driver, an iSCSI-enabled network stack, and a seamless USB/iSCSI tunneling module. For performance enhancement, it additionally provides a kernel-level seamless USB/iSCSI tunneling module and data sharing with symbol references among kernel modules. Experiments reveal that the kernel-level implementation can improve the I/O performance up to 8 percentage, as compared with the user-level implementation.

  • With the advancement in the Internet of things Technology (IoT) cloud computing, billions of physical devices have been interconnected for sharing and collecting data in different applications. Despite many advancements, some latency - specific application in the real world is not feasible due to existing constraints of IoT devices and distance between cloud and IoT devices. In order to address issues of latency sensitive applications, fog computing has been developed that involves the availability of computing and storage resources at the edge of the network near the IoT devices. However, fog computing suffers from many limitations such as heterogeneity, storage capabilities, processing capability, memory limitations etc. Therefore, it requires an adequate task scheduling method for utilizing computing resources optimally at the fog layer. This work presents a comprehensive review of different task scheduling methods in fog computing. It analyses different task scheduling methods developed for a fog computing environment in multiple dimensions and compares them to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of methods. Finally, it presents promising research directions for fellow researchers in the fog computing environment.

  • It is very difficult to suppress fire by rapid flame spread through flue space between flammable commodities on the rack when a fire occurs in the rack storage. At present, the fire protection system for rack storage in Korea has many issues, and the new fire protection system was designed and developed by it. A smart system using the sensor network and artificial intelligence was designed to detect fire very rapidly and track the location of a fire. In the very early stages, the system was constructed using vertical open sprinkler pipes, wet pipes, and solenoid valves to allow water to spray near fire locations. Based on the design results, the system was installed and tested, and the full-scale test was successfully completed.

  • DNA sequencing provides fundamental data in genomics, bioinformatics, biology and many other research areas. With the emergent evolution in DNA sequencing technology, a massive amount of genomic data is produced every day, mainly DNA sequences, craving for more storage and bandwidth. Unfortunately, managing, analyzing and specifically storing these large amounts of data become a major scientific challenge for bioinformatics. Those large volumes of data also require a fast transmission, effective storage, superior functionality and provision of quick access to any record. Data storage costs have a considerable proportion of total cost in the formation and analysis of DNA sequences. In particular, there is a need of highly control of disk storage capacity of DNA sequences but the standard compression techniques unsuccessful to compress these sequences. Several specialized techniques were introduced for this purpose. Therefore, to overcome all these above challenges, lossless compression techniques have become necessary. In this paper, it is described a new DNA compression mechanism of pattern matching extended Compression algorithm that read the input sequence as segments and find the matching pattern and store it in a permanent or temporary table based on number of bases. The remaining unmatched sequence is been converted into the binary form and then it is been grouped into binary bits i.e. of seven bits and gain these bits are been converted into an ASCII form. Finally, the proposed algorithm dynamically calculates the compression ratio. Thus the results show that pattern matching extended Compression algorithm outperforms cutting-edge compressors and proves its efficiency in terms of compression ratio regardless of the file size of the data.
