Since XML emerged as a standard for data exchange on the web, it has been established as a core component in e-Commerce and efficient query processing over XML data in ubiquitous computing environment has been also receiving much attention. Recently, the techniques were proposed whereby an XML document is fragmented into XML fragments to be streamed and the mobile clients receive the stream while processing queries over it. In processing queries over an XML fragment stream, the average access time significantly depends on the order of fragments in the stream. As such, for query performance, an efficient organization of XML fragment stream is required as well as the indexing for energy-efficient query processing due to the reduction of tuning time. In this paper, a technique of XML fragment stream organization based on query frequencies, fragment size, fragment access frequencies, and an active XML-based indexing scheme are proposed. Through implementation and performance experiments, our techniques were shown to be efficient compared with the conventional XML fragment stream organizations.

Most of mobile computing systems allow mostly read-only transactions from mobile clients for retrieving various types of Information such as stock data, traffic information and news updates. Since previous concurrence control protocols, however, do not consider such a particular characteristics, the performance degradation occurs when previous schemes are applied to the broadcast environment. In this paper, we propose OCC/UTF(Optimistic Concurrence Control with Update Transaction First) that is most appropriate for broadcast environment. OCC/UTF lets a query transaction, that has already read the data item which was invalidated by update transaction, read again the same data item without the abort of the query transaction due to non-serializability. Therefore, serializable order is maintained and the query transaction is committed safely regardless of commitment of update transactions. In OCC/UTF, Clients need not require server to commit their query transactions. Because of broadcasting the validation reports including values updated recently to clients, it reduces the overhead of requesting recent values from the server and the server need not also re-broadcast the newest values. As a result, OCC/UTF makes full use of the asymmetric bandwidth. It can also improve transaction throughput by increasing the commit ratio of query transactions as much as possible.

The broadcast environment has asymmetric communication aspect that is typically much greater communication bandwidth available from server to clients than in the opposite direction. In addition, most of mobile computing systems allow mostly read-only transactions from mobile clients for retrieving different types of information such as stock data, traffic information and mews updates. Since previous concurrency control protocols, however, do not consider such a particular characteristics, the performance degradation occurs when previous schemes are applied to the broadcast environment. In this paper, we propose the efficient concurrency control for query transaction in broadcast environment. The following requirements are satisfied by adapting weak consistency that is the appropriate correctness criterion of read-only transactions: (1) the mutual consistency of data maintained by the server and read by clients (2) the currency of data read by clients. We also use the serialization graph scheme to check the weak consistency efficiently. As a result, we improved a performance by reducing unnecessary aborts and restarts of read-only transactions caused when global serializability was adopted.

The broadcast environment is asymmetric communication aspect that is typically much greater communication capacity available from server to clients than in the opposite direction. In addition, most of mobile computing systems only allow the generation of read-only transactions from mobile clients for retrieving different types of information such as stock data, traffic information and news updates. Since previous concurrency control protocols, however, do not consider such a particular characteristics, the performance degradation occurs when those schemes are applied to the broadcast environment having quite a high data contention. In this paper, we propose OCC/2VTS (Optimistic Concurrency Control based on 2-Version and TimeStamp) that is most appropriate for broadcast environment. OCC/2VTS lets each client process and commit query transactions for itself by using two version data in cache. If the values of appropriate data items are not changed twice by invalidation report after a query transaction starts, the query transaction is committed safely independent of commitment of update transactions. OCC/2VTS decreases the number of informing server for the purpose of commitment. Due to broadcasting the validation reports including updated recent values, it reduces the opportunity of requesting a recent data values of server as well. As a result, OCC/2VTS makes full use of the asymmetric bandwidth. It also improves transaction throughput by increasing the query transaction commit ratio as much as possible.

Recently, the processing of data streams such as stock quotes, buy-sell orders, and billing records becomes more important in e-Business environments. Especially, the use of skyline queries over data streams is rapidly increasing to support multiple criteria decision making. Given a set of multi-dimensional tuples, a skyline query retrieves a set of tuples which are not dominated by other tuples. Although there has been much work on processing skyline queries over static datasets, there has been relatively less work on processing multiple skyline queries over data streams. In this paper, we propose an efficient method for processing multiple continuous skyline queries over data streams. The proposed method efficiently identifies which tuple is a skyline tuple of which query, resulting in a lower cost of processing multiple skyline queries. Through performance evaluation, we show the performance advantage of the proposed method.

Temporal databases support an efficient historical management by means of valid time and transaction time. Valid time stands for the time when a data happens in the real world. And transaction time stands for the time when a data is stored in the database, Temporal Query Processing System(TQPS) should be extended so as tc process the temporal operations for the historical informations in the user query as well as the conventional relational operations. In this paper, the extended temporal query processing systems which is based on the previous temporal query processing system for TQuel(Temporal Query Language) consists of the temporal syntax analyzer, temporal semantic analyzer, temporal code generator, and temporal interpreter is to be described, The algorithm for additional functions such as transaction time management, temporal aggregates, temporal views, temporal joins and the heuristic optimization functions and their example how to be processed is shown.

The prevailing infrastructure of ubiquitous computing paradigm on the one hand making significant development for integrating technology in the daily life but on the other hand raising concerns for privacy and confidentiality. This research presents a new privacy-preserving spatio-temporal query processing technique, in which location based services (LBS) can be serviced without revealing specific locations of private users. Existing location cloaking techniques are based on a grid-based structures such as a Quad-tree and a multi-layered grid. Grid-based approaches can suffer a deterioration of the quality in query results since they are based on pre-defined size of grids which cannot be adapted for variations of data distributions. Instead of using a grid, we propose a location-cloaking algorithm which uses the R-tree, a widely adopted spatio-temporal index structure. The proposed algorithm uses the MBRs of leaf nodes as the cloaked locations of users, since each leaf node guarantees having not less than a certain number of objects. Experimental results show the superiority of the proposed method.

In e-business, XML is a major format of data and it is essential to efficiently process queries against XML data. XML query caching has received much attention for query performance improvement. In employing XML query caching, some efficient technique of cache replacement is required. The previous techniques considered as a replacement unit either the whole query result or the path in the query result. The former is simple to employ but it is not efficient whereas the latter is more efficient and yet the size difference among the potential victims is large, and thus, efficiency of caching would be limited. In this paper, we propose a new technique where the element in the query result is are placement unit to overcome the limitations of the previous techniques. The proposed technique could enhance the cache efficiency to a great extent because it would not pick a victim whose size is too large to store a new cached item, the variance in the size of victims would be small, and the unused space of the cache storage would be small. A technique of XML semantic cache replacement is presented which is based on the replacement function that takes into account cache hit ratio, last access time, fetch time, size of XML semantic region, size of element in XML semantic region, etc. We implemented a prototype XML semantic cache system that employs the proposed technique, and conducted a detailed set of experiments over a LAN environment. The experimental results showed that our proposed technique outperformed the previous ones.
