TPR*-tree is the most widely-used index structure for effectively predicting the future positions of moving objects. The TPR*-tree, however, has the problem that both of the dead space in a bounding region and the overlap among hounding legions become larger as the prediction time in the future gets farther. This makes more nodes within the TPR*-tree accessed in query processing time, which incurs the performance degradation. In this paper, we examine the performance problem quantitatively with a series of experiments. First, we show how the performance deteriorates as a prediction time gets farther, and also show how the updates of positions of moving objects alleviates this problem. Our contribution would help provide Important clues to devise strategies improving the performance of TPR*-trees further.

GPS 칩을 내장한 다양한 이동 통신 기기의 사용으로 위치 정보를 이용한 응용이 점차 확산될 전망이다. 위치 정보를 기반으로 한 응용 시스템에서는 다수 이동 객체의 위치 정보를 실시간으로 기록하고, 미래 시점의 객체 위치를 추정할 수 있어야 한다. 이런 요구에 따라 효과적인 이동 객체 색인에 고안된 기법이 TPR*-트리이다. 하지만 TPR*-트리는 고정 위치 색인에 최적화된 R-트리에 기본을 두었기 때문에 갱신 비용이 매우 커질 수 있다는 문제가 있다. R-트리에서는 갱신 연산이 빈번하지 않을 수 있지만 TPR*-트리의 경우는 이동 객체가 속도를 변화시킬 때마다 갱신 연산이 요구되기 때문에 상대적으로 매우 큰 갱신 비용이 발생할 수 있다. 이런 문제점을 부분적으로 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 쿨링다운 노드를 사용한 TPR*-트리를 제안한다. 제안된 트리는 트리의 상위 계층에 일부 이동 객체를 버퍼링함으로써 갱신 연산을 최소화 할 수 있다. 또한 지나친 사장 영역(dead space)의 확대를 방지함으로써 검색 성능 저하를 효과적으로 줄일 수 있다.

With the advances in the information technology and mobile communications, we now face increasing demands for various services based on both of position tracking of moving objects and their efficient index scheme. Accordingly, the $TPR^*$-tree, which were proposed for efficiently tracking moving objects and predicting their positions in the future time, has drawn much intention. As the $TPR^*$-tree came from the R-tree that is suitable for indexing static objects, it does not support cheap update costs. Therefore, it seems to be very costly to index moving objects if there are frequent occurrences of node updates caused by continuously changing velocities and positions. If some moving objects with high velocities have node updates, in particular, then the $TPR^*$-tree may suffer from many unnecessary updates in the wide range of tree regions. To avoid such a problem, we propose a method that can keep fast-moving objects in the child nodes of the root node, thereby saving node update costs in the $TPR^*$-tree. To show our performance advantages and retaining $TPR^*$-tree features, we performed some performance experiments using a simulation technique.

이동 객체의 현재와 미래 위치 질의에 최적화된 색인 구조로써 TPR-트리가 있다 TPR-트리는 기존의 공간 색인 구조와 달리 이동 객체와 경계 사각형을 참조 위치와 속도 벡터를 매개 변수로 한 시간에 대한 선형 함수 형태로 모델링 함으로써 갱신 비용을 줄이고 현재 및 가까운 미래 위치 정보의 예측을 가능하도록 한다 . 하지만 TPR- 트리는 시간의 정파에 따라 경계 사각형이 선형적으로 환장됨으로 인해 경계 사각형 내의 객체를 제외한 나머지 공간인 사장 공간과 경계 사각 혈들 간의 겹침 현상을 증가시켜 정의 성능이 떨어진다는 단점을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 질의 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 경계 사각형 내의 이동 객체들이 이동함에 따라 변경되는 최소 경계 사각형 (MBR: Minimim Bounding Rectangle)을 베지어 곡선 함수를 이용하여 근사함으로써 사장 공간을 줄이는 적응 경계 사각형 (ABR: Adaptive Bounding Rectangle) 기법을 제안한다.

Recently, with the advent of applications using locations of moving objects, it becomes crucial to develop efficient index schemes for spatio-temporal databases. The $TPR^*$-tree is most popularly accepted as an index structure for processing future-time queries. In the $TPR^*$-tree, the future locations of moving objects are predicted based on the CBR(Conservative Bounding Rectangle). Since the areas predicted from CBRs tend to grow rapidly over time, CBRs thus enlarged lead to serious performance degradation in query processing. Against the problem, we propose a new method to adjust CBRs to be tight, thereby improving the performance of query processing. Our method examines whether the adjustment of a CBR is necessary when accessing a leaf node for processing a user query. Thus, it does not incur extra disk I/Os in this examination. Also, in order to make a correct decision, we devise a cost model that considers both the I/O overhead for the CBR adjustment and the performance gain in the future-time owing to the CBR adjustment. With the cost model, we can prevent unusual expansions of BRs even when updates on nodes are infrequent and also avoid unnecessary execution of the CBR adjustment. For performance evaluation, we conducted a variety of experiments. The results show that our method improves the performance of the original $TPR^*$-tree significantly.

In modern warfare, securing time for preemptive response is recognized as an important factor of victory. The naval combat system, the core of naval forces, also strives to increase the effectiveness of engagement by improving its real-time information processing capabilities. As part of that, it is considered to use the TPR-tree in the naval combat system's target indexing because spatio-temporal searches can be performed quickly even as the number of target information increases. However, because the TPR-tree is slow to process updates, there is a limitation to handling frequent updates. In this paper, we present a method for improving the update performance of TPR-tree by applying the bottom-up update scheme, previously proposed for R-tree, to the TPR-tree. In particular, we analyze the causes of overlaps occurring when applying the bottom-up updates and propose ways to limit the MBR expansion to solve it. Our experimental results show that the proposed technique improves the update performance of TPR-tree from 3.5 times to 12 times while maintaining search performance.

The TPR-tree exploits bounding rectangles based on the function of time in order to index moving objects. As time passes on, each edge of a BR expands with the fastest velocity vector. Since the expansion of the BR results in a serious overlaps between neighboring nodes, the performance of range query is getting worse. In this paper, we propose schemes to reorganize bounding rectangles of nodes. When inserting a moving object, we exploit a forced merging scheme to merge two overlapped nodes and re-split it. When deleting a moving object, we used forced reinsertion schemes to reinsert other objects of a node into a tree. The forced reinsertion schemes are classified into a deleted node reinsertion scheme and an overlapped nodes reinsertion scheme. The overlapped nodes reinsertion scheme outperforms the forced merging scheme and the deleted node reinsertion scheme in all experiments.

Positional data of moving objects can be regularly sampled in order to minimize the cost of data collection in LBS. Since position data which are regularly sampled cannot include the changes of position occurred between sampling periods, sampled position data differ from the data predicted by a time parameterized linear function. Uncertain position data caused by these differences make the accuracy of the range queries for present positions diminish in the TPR tree. In this paper, we propose the uncertainty region to handle the range queries for uncertain position data. The uncertainty region is defined by the position data predicted by the time parameterized linear function and the estimated uncertainty error. We also present the weighted recent uncertainty error policy and the kalman filter policy to estimate the uncertainty error. For performance test, the query processor based by the uncertainty region is implemented in the TPR tree. The experiments show that the Proposed query processing methods are more accurate than the existing method by 15%.

Nickel based oxygen transfer materials supported on two different YSZs were tested to evaluate their performance in methane chemical-looping reforming. The oxygen transfer materials of YSZs were selected with different amount of the doped yittrium in the $ZrO_2$ structure. The yittrium of 8 mol% stabilized the zirconia oxide to a cubic structure compare to the 3 mol% doping, which is known to be a good for oxygen transfer. Various nickel amounts (16wt.%, 32wt.%, 48wt.%) were loaded on the selected supports. The nickel amount of 32% shows the optimized catalyst structure with good physical properties and reducibility from the XRD, BET and H2-TPR analysis, especially when the support of 8YSZ was used. From the methane chemical-looping reforming, hydrogen was produced by methane decomposition catalyzed by Ni on both YSZs. Comparing two YSZ supports of 3YSZ and 8YSZ during the cycling tests, the catalyst with 8YSZ (Ni 32%) exhibits not only the higher methane conversion and hydrogen production but also a faster reaction rate reaching to the stable point.
