Mobile devices, such as PDAs, portable multimedia players, are more likely to encompass large storage devices with prevalance of high-quality multimedia contents. This paper proposes an object-based multimedia contents storage architecture that employs the object-based storage device model and the iSCSI protocol. It also provides a multimedia content player that operates directly with the proposed storage architecture. We implement both the proposed storage architecture and the multimedia content player upon the Linux environment. Performance evaluation by playing MP3 multimedia contents reveals that the proposed storage architecture reduces the total power consumption by 9%, compared with an existing networked storage. This enhancement is mainly contributed to the fact that a large portion of the file system is moved into the object-based multimedia contents storage from the mobile device.

Recently, although there are strong requirements to manage multimedia data, there are a few researches on efficient storage and retrieval of multimedia data. In this paper, we design an object storage engine which can store and retrieve various multimedia objects efficiently. For this, we design an object manager for storing a variety of multimedia data and an inverted file manager for indexing unformatted text objects. In addition, we implement the objects storage engine which can support concurrency control and recovery schemes of DBMS by integrating the object manager and the inverted file manager with the SHORE low-level storage system. Finally, we develope a TIROS(Thesis Information Retrieval using Object Storage engine) system in order to verify the usefulness of our object storage engine.

Many similar class components are stored in object-storage but the object-storage has needed the retrieval function of correct component for reuse. Accordingly this paper designed the class component retrieval viewer of the object-storage by using the improved spreading activation strategy. Object-storage has made up of information of inheritance relation, superclass, subclass, and we defined the queries about each class function. Also we specified connectionist relaxation of the each class and query, finally we gained retrieval result which showed highest activation value order of class component information including the query function.

In order to improve the economics and flexibility of cloud computing, tendency to automate the operation and management of cloud resources has become complicated. However, while automation for cloud storage depends on the manufacturer's storage hardware, it cannot flexibly support the storage type in accordance with users' needs. In this paper, we propose an automatic configuration module that supports block/file/object storages suitable for user environment. In order to automatically install ceph, a cloud storage, we propose an automatic installation and configuration module based on the Chef configuration management tool. In addition to that, we also propose an automatic configuration module based on a shell programming in pursuit of enabling users to use ceph storage of block/file/object. The proposed method can automatically set up and manage shared file, block, and object storages in a virtual or physical user environment with no hardware dependencies.

Object-based storage is an efficient storage solution that can handle unstructured data and shows better security and scalability than traditional block-based storage. However, in terms of power management, Object-based storage writes multiple copies in storage cluster, hence many servers consume unnecessary power in idle state. In order to resolve this problem, it is necessary to apply power management strategy by adjusting power mode of servers in idle state according to their workloads. In this paper, we proposed a new dynamic power management (DPM) method to transform power mode of storage servers dynamically according to workload information sent from proxy server. The experimental result shows that the proposed power management technic reduces total power consumption by 12% in the OpenStack based Swift object storage.

Energy efficiency is one of the most critical issues in the design of wireless sensor networks. In object-tracking sensor networks, the data storage and query processing should be energy-conserving by decreasing the message complexity. In this paper, a Prediction-based Energy-conserving Approximate StoragE schema (P-EASE) is proposed, which can reduce the query error of EASE by changing its approximate area and adopting predicting model without increasing the cost. In addition, focusing on reducing the unnecessary querying messages, P-EASE enables an optimal query algorithm to taking into consideration to query the proper storage node, i.e., the nearer storage node of the centric storage node and local storage node. The theoretical analysis illuminates the correctness and efficiency of the P-EASE. Simulation experiments are conducted under semi-random walk and random waypoint mobility. Compared to EASE, P-EASE performs better at the query error, message complexity, total energy consumption and hotspot energy consumption. Results have shown that P-EASE is more energy-conserving and has higher location precision than EASE.

As XML documents become popular in the World Wide Web, a lot of research is being done on XML storage systems that store and manage XML documents using existing DBMSS. However, most of them have been done in the context of relational DBMSS rather than object-relational DBMSS, which have more powerful modeling capability than relational ones. In this paper, we design and implement an XML storage system, ODYSSEUS/XMLStore, for the ODYSSEUS object-relational DBMS that has been under development at KAIST. First, we analyze the mapping from the structure of XML documents to the relational or object-relational database schema. Second, we propose a method for describing the mapping analyzed using a standard language, XML Schema. Third, we propose a storage structure for storing the mapping information specified by the users in the database. Fourth, we propose detailed algorithms for storing XML documents in the relational or object-relational database based on the mapping information provided by the users.

A mobile device accesses large-sized data in object-based IP storage as an object unit over IP network. It relies heavily on a WLAN device, which has been known as one of the major power consumers. This paper designs and implements low-power object-based IP storage for mobile devices using an efficient WLAN power control. The proposed WLAN power control exploits prefetch buffer to maximize the idleness for incoming network traffic and controls available WLAN power modes to minimize the power consumption. Our experimental results reveal that the proposed WLAN control can save the total power consumption in a PXA270-based mobile device about 9% while playing the multimedia contents through an object-based IP storage device

As network technology advances, a larger number of devices are connected through the Internet. Recently, cloud storage services are gaining popularity, as they are convenient to access anytime and anywhere. Among cloud storage services, object storage is the representative one due to their characteristics of low cost, high availability, and high durability. One limitation of object storage services is that they can access data on the cloud only through the HTTP-based RESTful APIs. In our work, we resolve this limitation with the in-memory file system which provides a POSIX interface to the file system users and communicates with cloud object storages with RESTful APIs. In particular, our flush mechanism is compatible with existing file systems, as it is based on the swap mechanism of the Linux kernel. Our in-memory file system backed by cloud storage reduces the performance overheads and shows a better performance than S3QL by 57% in write operations. It also shows a comparable performance to tmpfs in read operations.

This study investigates the characteristics of visual working memory (VWM) representations by examining two theoretical models: the integrated-object and the parallel-independent feature storage models. Experiment I involved a change detection task where participants memorized arrays of either orientation bars, colored squares, or both. In the one-feature condition, the memory array consisted of one feature (either orientations or colors), whereas the two-feature condition included both. We found no differences in change detection performance between the conditions, favoring the integrated object model over the parallel-independent feature storage model. Experiment II employed a recall task with memory arrays of isosceles triangles' orientations, colored squares, or both, and one-feature and two-feature conditions were compared for their recall performance. We found again no clear difference in recall accuracy between the conditions, but the results of analyses for memory precision and guessing responses indicated the weak object model over the strong object model. For ongoing debates surrounding VWM's representational characteristics, these findings highlight the dominance of the integrated object model over the parallel independent feature storage model.
