Recently, there has been growing interest in streaming XML data. Much of the work on streaming XML data has been focused on efficient filtering of XML data. Such XML filtering systems deliver XML documents to interested users. The burden of extracting the XML fragments of interest from XML documents is placed on users. As a result, several evaluation techniques for streaming XML data, which only extract interested XML fragments by directly evaluating XML queries on streaming XML data, have been proposed. However, existing evaluation techniques for streaming XML data only support the restricted subset of XPath queries, and multiple queries cannot be evaluated by such evaluation techniques. In this paper, we propose XTREAM which evaluates multiple queries in conjunction with the read-once nature of streaming data. In contrast to the previous work, XTREAM supports a wide class of XPath queries including order based predicates and so on. Experimental results with real-life and synthetic XML data demonstrate the efficiency and scalability of XTREAM.

As XML became the standard of data exchange in the internet, the needs for effective query processing for XML data in streaming environment is increasing. Applying the existing database technique which processes data with the unit of tuple to the streaming XML data causes the out-of-memory problem due to limited memory volume. Likewise the cost for searching query path and accessing specific data may be remarkably increased because of special structure of XML. In a word it is unreasonable to apply the existing database system to the streaming environment that processes query for partial data, not the whole one. Thus, it should be able to search partial streaming data that rapidly satisfies join predicate through using low-capacity memory, based on a store technique suitable to streaming XML data. In this thesis, in order to study the store technique for low-capacity memory, the PCDATA and the CDATA-related parts, which can be used as predicate on join query, were fetched and saved. In addition, in an attempt to compare rapid join predicates, the range window of streaming XML data was set with the object of selectively joining windows that satisfies the query, based on Cardinality * and + among the structure information of DTD.

This paper describes on our experience of developing the Database Connector as an interconnection method between multimedia database, and the streaming framework. It is possible to support diverse and mature multimedia database services such as retrieval and join operation during the streaming if an interconnection method is provided in between streaming system and multimedia databases. The currently available interconnection schemes, however have mainly used the file systems or the relational databases that are Implemented with separated form of meta data, which deafs with information of multimedia contents, and streaming data which deals with multimedia data itself. Consequently, existing interconnection mechanisms could not come up with many virtues of multimedia database services during the streaming operation. In order to resolve these drawbacks, we propose a novel scheme for an interconnection between streaming framework and multimedia database, called the Inter-Process Communication (IPC) based Database connector, under the assumption that two systems are located in a same host. We define four transaction primitives; Read, Write, Find, Play, as well as define the interface for transactions that are implemented based on the plug-in, which in consequence can extend to other multimedia databases that will come for some later years. Our simulation study show that performance of the proposed IPC based interconnection scheme is not much far behind compared with that of file systems.

As the environment with sensor network and ubiquitous computing is emerged, there are many demands of handling continuous, fast data such as streaming data. As work about streaming data has begun, work about management of streaming data in Publish-Subscribe system is started. The recent emergence of XML as a standard for information exchange on Internet has led to more interest in Publish - Subscribe system. A filtering technique of streaming XML data in the existing Publish- Subscribe system is using some schemes based on automata and YFilter, which is one of filtering techniques, is very popular. YFilter exploits commonality among path queries by sharing the common prefixes of the paths so that they are processed at most one and that is using the top-down approach. However, because partial matching path queries interrupt the common prefix sharing and don't calculate from root, throughput of YFilter decreases. So we use sharing of commonality among path queries with the common postfixes of the paths and use the bottom-up approach instead of the top-down approach. This filtering technique is called as PoSFilter. And we verify this technique through comparing with YFilter about throughput.

Various services are developed from advancement of satellite imagery methodologies and internet infrastructure expansions. However, most of these services still rely upon low-resolution satellite images combined with DEM models. In this paper, we have implemented the raw data processing modules and other modules that transfer and render high-spatial resolution satellite images for efficient streaming services in web environments. By utilizing the Bukhan-mountain data as a pilot study, the paper has proposed the efficient approach to solve graphical problems in real time processing the large geographical area.

Web streaming environment need a suitable video playback service technique, a streaming technique for real-time delivery and an efficient control technique due to its limited environment. In this paper, we propose an effective control technique for real-time media stream playback as a connection technique between the high-quality media player and web browser based on Linux environment. The proposed stream control technique presents control data through 050 on media playback screen of web browser, and process the user's input data. It acts GUI-independently, and is designed considering addition and extension for control data.

In this paper, we propose a streaming method for XML data that supports energy-efficient processing of queries over the stream in mobile clients. We propose new stream organizations for XML data which have different kinds of addresses to related data in a stream. We describe event-driven stream generation algorithms for the proposed stream structures and provide search algorithms for simple XML path queries which leverage the access mechanisms incorporated in the stream. Experimental results show that our approaches can effectively improve the tuning time performance of user queries in a wireless broadcasting environment.

In the paper we propose an index method for XML streaming services, where a server broadcasts XML data to a lot of clients in wireless information systems. In order to control the access and tuning time of mobile clients, the proposed method constructs the XML stream through replicating partial index intermixed with parts of data. For this purpose, we propose a two-level tree structure for separating index and XML data into two parts: replicated vs. non-replicated. We analyze the performance of the proposed method with respect to access time and tuning time. With the analysis result, we derive the optimal level value.

To support the QoS streams for large scale clients, the internal resources of VOD servers should be utilized based on the characteristics of the streaming media service. Among the various resources in the server, the main memory is used for the buffer space to the media data loaded from the disks and the buffer hit ratio has a great impact upon the server performance. However, if the buffer data with high hit ratio are replaced for the new media data as a result of the number of clients and the required movie titles are increased, the negative impact on the scalability of server performance is occurred. To address this problem, the buffer replacement policy considers the intrinsic characteristics of the streaming media such as the sequential access to large volume data and the highly disproportionate preference to specific movies. In this paper, the preference-based segment buffer replacement policy is proposed in the cluster-based VOD server to exploit the characteristics of the streaming media. Since the proposed method reflects both the temporal locality by the clients' preference and the spatial locality by the sequential access to media data, the buffer hit ratio would be improved as compared to the existing buffer replacement policy. The enhanced buffer hit ratio causes the fact that the performance scalability of the cluster-based VOD server is linearly improved as the number of cluster nodes is increased.

Recently XML is becoming a de facto standard for online data exchange between heterogeneous systems and also the research of streaming XML data filtering comes into the spotlight. Since streaming XML data filtering technique needs rapid matching of queries with XML data, it is required that the query processing should be efficiently performed. Until now, most of researches focused only on partial sharing of path expressions or efficient predicate processing and they were work for time and space efficiency. However, if containment relationship between queries is previously calculated and the lowest level query is matched with XML data, we can easily get a result that high level queries can match with the XML data without any other processing. That is, using this containment technique can be another optimal solution for streaming XML data filtering. In this paper, we suggest an efficient XML data filtering based on prime number indexing and containment relationship between queries. Through some experimental results, we present that our suggested method has a better performance than the existing method. All experiments have shown that our method has a more than two times better performance even though each experiment has its own distinct test purpose.
