This paper addresses an indexing scheme capable of efficiently processing range queries in a large-scale trajectory database. After discussing the drawbacks of previous indexing schemes, we propose a new scheme that divides the temporal dimension into multiple time intervals and then, by this interval, builds an index for the line segments. Additionally, a supplementary index is built for the line segments within each time interval. This scheme can make a dramatic improvement in the performance of insert and search operations using a main memory index, particularly for the time interval consisting of the segments taken by those objects which are currently moving or have just completed their movements, as contrast to the previous schemes that store the index totally on the disk. Each time interval index is built as follows: First, the extent of the spatial dimension is divided onto multiple spatial cells to which the line segments are assigned evenly. We use a 2D-tree to maintain information on those cells. Then, for each cell, an additional 3D $R^*$-tree is created on the spatio-temporal space (x, y, t). Such a multi-level indexing strategy can cure the shortcomings of the legacy schemes. Performance results obtained from intensive experiments show that our scheme enhances the performance of retrieve operations by 3$\sim$10 times, with much less storage space.

We propose XIR-Linear, a novel method for processing partial match queries on large-scale heterogeneous XML documents using information retrieval (IR) techniques. XPath queries are written in path expressions on a tree structure representing an XML document. An XPath query in its major form is a partial match query. The objective of XIR-Linear is to efficiently support this type of queries for large-scale documents of heterogeneous schemas. XIR-Linear has its basis on the schema-level methods using relational tables and drastically improves their efficiency and scalability using an inverted index technique. The method indexes the labels in label paths as key words in texts, and allows for finding the label paths that match the queries far more efficiently than string match used in conventional methods. We demonstrate the efficiency and scalability of XIR-Linear by comparing it with XRel and XParent using XML documents crawled from the Internet. The results show that XIR-Linear is more efficient than both XRel and XParent by several orders of magnitude for linear path expressions as the number of XML documents increases.

GML 데이터는 공간 및 비공간 정보를 동시에 갖는 GIS 데이터의 특징과 구조적(structured)인 XML 데이터의 성격을 함께 가지고 있어 일반적인 DBMS에 저장되기 힘들다. XML 저장이 가능한 데이터베이스는 공간데이터 처리 능력이 부족하고, 공간데이터베이스는 XML 데이터를 저장하기 어렵다. 본 연구는 GML 데이터가 공간데이터베이스에 저장될 수 있도록 GML 응용스키마로부터 공간데이터베이스 스키마를 모델링하는 방법을 제안한다. 이를 위하여 객체관계형 데이터베이스의 특징인 복합 애트리뷰트(composite attribute)와 추상데이터타입(ADT)을 이용한 GML 스키마의 맵핑 규칙을 정하였다. 맵핑 규칙은 OGC SQL 스키마에 적합하도록 GML 데이터의 공간 정보와 비공간 정보를 분리하여 저장시킨다. 따라서 저장된 데이터는 공간데이터베이스가 제공하는 공간 연산자/함수 및 인덱스를 통하여 다양한 공간/비공간 질의가 빠르게 수행될 수 있다.

이동체란 시간 변화에 따라 연속적으로 위치가 변화하는 객체를 말한다. 이러한 이동체는 기존의 공간 데이터와는 달리 이동체의 위치변경 보고에 따라 지속적인 갱신연산을 발생시키는 특징을 가지고 있다. 이동체의 현재 색인에 있어 트리 기반의 색인 구조는 빈번한 갱신에 대한 색인의 변경 비용이 크므로 부적합하다. 확장 해쉬 기반의 그리드 파일 색인은 갱신연산의 비용이 적고, 그리드를 동적으로 구성하므로 공간 활용도가 높으며 영역 질의에 우수한 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 빈번한 갱신연산으로 인하여 해당 색인의 반복적인 분할/합병 비용을 발생시키는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이 논문에서는 메인 메모리 기반의 그리드 파일을 구성하고, 빈번한 갱신연산에 따른 색인의 반복적인 분할/합병 비용을 제거하기 위한 합병정책을 제안한다. 특히 시간에 따라 해당 이동체의 수가 지역에 따라 변화하므로 이동체의 이동을 고려한 합병정책을 제안한다.

Collagen hydrolysate (CH) is known to prevent skin aging by stimulating skin dermal fibroblasts to promote synthesis of extracellular matrix such as collagen and elastin. Recently, among the various factors that cause skin aging, advanced glycation end products (AGEs) have received particular attention. However, the effect of CH on AGE accumulation has not been studied. Since CH could affect AGE accumulation by promoting production of skin structural proteins, clinical trial was performed using low molecule collagen peptide (LMCP), which were CH containing 25% tripeptide and 4% Gly-Pro-Hyp. Skin autofluorescence (SAF) values were measured using an AGE reader to evaluate accumulation of AGE in skin. As a result of applying 0.5% and 1.0% LMCP solutions to the subject's forearm for 8 weeks, the SAF value at the test site significantly decreased compared to the control site. Additionally, in vitro test was performed using CCD-986sk to evaluate the promotion of collagen synthesis in skin fibroblasts by LMCP. As a result, 800 ㎍/mL of LMCP significantly increased synthesis of human pro-collagen Iα1 (COL1A1) in CCD-986sk. Through this study, we have confirmed that tropical LMCP applications can promote collagen synthesis to help anti-glycation effects, suggesting that LMCP has potential as an anti-aging cosmetic material.

R-trees have been traditionally optimized for the I/O performance with the disk page as the tree node. Recently, researchers have proposed cache-conscious variations of R-trees optimized for the CPU cache performance in main memory environments, where the node size is several cache lines wide and more entries are packed in a node by compressing MBR keys. However, because there is a big difference between the node sizes of two types of R-trees, disk-optimized R-trees show poor cache performance while cache-optimized R-trees exhibit poor disk performance. In this paper, we propose a cache and disk optimized R-tree, called the PR-tree (Prefetching R-tree). For the cache performance, the node size of the PR-tree is wider than a cache line, and the prefetch instruction is used to reduce the number of cache misses. For the I/O performance, the nodes of the PR-tree are fitted into one disk page. We represent the detailed analysis of cache misses for range queries, and enumerate all the reasonable in-page leaf and nonleaf node sizes, and heights of in-page trees to figure out tree parameters for best cache and I/O performance. The PR-tree that we propose achieves better cache performance than the disk-optimized R-tree: a factor of 3.5-15.1 improvement for one-by-one insertions, 6.5-15.1 improvement for deletions, 1.3-1.9 improvement for range queries, and 2.7-9.7 improvement for k-nearest neighbor queries. All experimental results do not show notable declines of the I/O performance.

To conform to new emerging computing paradigm, various researches and challenges are being done. New information technologies make easy to access and acquire information in various ways. In other side, however, it also makes illegal access more powerful and various threat to system security. In this paper, we suggest a new extended access control method that make it possible to conform to security policies enforcement even with discrepancy between policy based constraints rules and query based constraints rules, based on their semantic information. New method is to derive security policy rules using context tree structure and to control the exceed granting of privileges through the degree of the semantic discrepancy. In addition, we illustrate prototype system architecture and make performance comparison with existing access control methods.

The recent development of the technology for wireless mobile computing and applied technology for location-based services has made it possible to support query processing faster than that in the past. However, some technological limitations on hardware and software still exist. The most critical aspects of query processing are accuracy and speed. For improving the accuracy, it is required that detailed information on the data involved in query processing be saved. In this case, the amount of information on the data increases, which decreases the speed. On the other hand, for increasing the speed, it is necessary to reduce the broadcast cycle, which enables rapid data acquisition as desired. In this case, because of insufficient index information, the listen time for the client increases, which may cause unnecessary energy consumption. Therefore, a trade-off occurs between the accuracy and speed. This paper proposes a hierarchical bitmap-based spatial index (HBI) as a solution for the aforementioned problems. HBI describes an object with 0 and 1 on the Hilbert curve map. It reduces the broadcast cycle by decreasing the index size on the basis of bit information and tree structure. Therefore, it is able to shorten the listen time and query processing time. In addition, HBI enables the detection of the locations of all the objects so that it is possible selectively listen to a broadcast. A performance evaluation of the proposed technique demonstrates that it is excellent.

In many scientific and commercial applications such as Earth Observation System (EOSDIS) and mobile Phone services tracking a large number of clients, it is a daunting task to archive and index ever increasing volume of complex data that are continuously added to databases. To efficiently manage multidimensional data in scientific and data warehousing environments, R-tree based index structures have been widely used. In this paper, we propose a scalable technique called seeded clustering that allows us to maintain R-tree indexes by bulk insertion while keeping pace with high data arrival rates. Our approach uses a seed tree, which is copied from the top k levels of a target R-tree, to classify input data objects into clusters. We then build an R-tree for each of the clusters and insert the input R-trees into the target R-tree in bulk one at a time. We present detailed algorithms for the seeded clustering and bulk insertion as well as the results from our extensive experimental study. The experimental results show that the bulk insertion by seeded clustering outperforms the previously known methods in terms of insertion cost and the quality of target R-trees measured by their query performance.
