최근 이동 컴퓨터(Mobile Computing)환경에서의 잦은 접속 단절로 인한 클라이언트 캐시 일관성(Consistency) 문제를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 클라이언트 캐시 유지에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이러한 캐시 유지 방법의 한 분야로서 캐시 데이터의 일관성 문제를 해결하기 위한 무효화 보고(Invalidation Report, IR)에 대한 연구가 진행 중이다. 그러나 기존의 무효화보고는 시간 의존적인 정보로써 전송되기 이전 일정 시간동안의 서버 업데이트 정보만을 포함한다. 따라서 서버의업데이트 정도와 무관하게 일정 시간 이상의 클라이언트 접속 단절에 대하여 클라이언트의 캐시 일관성을 유지하지 못한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 시간 의존적 정보를 가지는 무효화 보고와 서버의 업데이트 정도에 따른 무효화 보고를 함께 사용하여 클라이어트의 접속 단절 시간과는 무관하게 서버의 업데이트 정도에 따라 캐시 일관성을 유지할 수 있는 효율적인 기법을 제안한다.

이동 통신 기술의 급격한 발전으로, 이동 컴퓨팅 환경에서 데이터 서비스에 대한 수요가 점차 증가하고 있다. 이동 호스트 내에 캐쉬가 존재하면, 통신 대역폭의 절약 및 질의에 대한 빠른 응답을 가져올 수 있지만, 이동 호스트가 서버 데이터와의 캐쉬 일관성(Consistency)을 유지시켜야 한다는 문제가 생기게 된다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 기법들이 가지는 문제점들을 보완하기 위해 데이터의 주기성을 고려한 캐쉬 일관성 유지 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 기법은 데이터를 주기적, 비주기적 데이터로 분류하고 주기적 데이터에 만료시간을 삽입하고, 또한, 무효화 메시지를 저장해서 단절 후에 선별적으로 캐쉬 데이터가 나누어 질 수 있도록 해서, 캐쉬 내의 데이터가 접속 단절 후에 일방적으로 버려지는 것을 막을 수 있도록 한다.

In stateless server, if an asynchronous cache invalidation scheme attempts to support local processing of read-only transaction in mobile client/sever database systems, a critical problem may occur ; the asynchronous invalidation reports provide no guarantees of waiting time for mobile transactions requesting commit. To solve this problem, the server in our algorithm broadcasts two kind of messages, asynchronous invalidation report to reduce transaction latency and periodic guide message to avoid the uncertainty of waiting time for the next invalidation report. The asynchronous invalidation report has its own sequence number and the periodic guide message has the sequence number of the most recently broadcast asynchronous invalidation report. A mobile client checks its cache validity by using the sequence numbers of these messages.

In mobile computing environments, a mobile host caches the data items to use the bandwidth efficiently and improve the response time of transactions. If the data items cached in mobile host are updated in the server, the server broadcasts an invalidation report for maintaining the cache consistency of mobile hosts. However, this method has a problem that the response time of mobile transactions can be long since their commit decision is delayed until receiving the invalidation report from the server In this paper, we propose the USR-MT method for improving the response time of mobile transactions. As the UGR-MT method can make a commit decision by using the data group information before receiving the invalidation report, the response time of mobile transactions can be improved. Also our method can improve the cache's efficiency since it prevents all the contents of a cache from being invalidated in the case that the disconnection of a mobile host is longer than the broadcast period of invalidation report.

Current rendering processors are organized mainly to process a triangle as fast as possible and recently parallel 3D rendering processors, which can process multiple triangles in parallel with multiple rasterizers, begin to appear. For high performance in processing triangles, it is desirable for each rasterizer have its own local pixel cache. However, the consistency problem may occur in accessing the data at the same address simulaneously by more than one rasterizer. In this paper, we propose a parallel rendering processor architecture resolving such consistency problem effectively. Moreover, the proposed architecture reduces the latency due to a pixel cache miss significantly. The experimental results show that proposed architecture achieves almost linear speedup at best case even in sixteen rasterizer

Optimistic Two-Phase Locking(O2PL) performs as well as or better than the other approaches because it exploits client caching well and also has relatively lower network bandwidth requirements. However, O2PL leads to unnecessary waits, because, it can not be commit a transaction until the transaction obtains all requested locks. In addition, Optimistic Concurrency Control(OCC) tends to make needless aborts. This paper suggests an efficient optimistic cache consistency protocol that overcomes such shortcomings. Our scheme decides whether to commit or abort a transaction without wait and it adopts transaction re-ordering in order to minimize the abort rate. Our scheme needs only one version for each data item in spite of the re-ordering mechanism used. Finally, this paper presents a simulation-based analysis that shows superiority in performance of out scheme to O2PL and OCC.

A broadcast method in mobile computing environments which have very large client populations solves the problem of low bandwidth. But most of previous proposed concurrency control protocols are restricted to read-only transactions from mobile client. In this paper, we propose the UTSM-ARM method which uses caching and broadcast method, and allows update transactions in mobile client. The UTSM-ARM decides the validation of cache data consistency with the dynamic update pattern ratio of accessed cached data. Also, the timestamps of accessed cached data and transaction in mobile client guarantee the serializable execution of mobile transactions. As a result, UTSM-ARM makes efficiently use of the asymmetric bandwidth of broadcast environment and can Increase the transaction throughput.

In a client-server spatial database, it is desirable to maintain the cached data in a client side to minimize the communication overhead across a network. This paper deals with the issues of concurrency and consistency of map updates in this environment. A client transaction to update map data is an interactive work and takes a long time to complete it. The map update in a client site may affect the other sites'updates because of dependencies between spatial data stored at different sites. The concurrent updates should be propagated to the other clients as well as the server to keep the consistency of map replicated in a client cache, and also the communication overhead of the update propagation should be minimized not to lose the benefit of caching. The newly proposed cache region locking with CR lock and CX lock controls the update dependency due to spatial relationships. CS lock and COD lock are suggested to use optimistic detection-based approaches for guaranteeing the consistency of cached client data. The cooperative update protocol uses these extended locking primitives and Spatial Relationship-based 2PC (SR-based 2PC). This paper argues that the concurrent updates of cached client spatial data can be achieved by deciding on collaborative updates or independent updates based on spatial relationships.

클라이언트-서버(Client-Server) 데이터베이스 환경에서 병목현상의 해결책으로 클라이언트캐시(Client cache)를 사용할 수 있다. 여러 클라이언트들이 같은 데이터베이스의 일부를 캐시한 복사본을 사용할 때, 다른 클라이언트들과 서버간에 일관성 유지를 보장해주어야 한다. 캐시의 일관성을 유지하기 위한 여러 가지 알고리즘들이 제안되어왔다. 그 중에서 O2PL(Optimistic Two Phase Locking) 기법은 동시성을 증가시킬 수 있는 주요 장점이 있다. 그러나 O2PL 알고리즘은 트랜잭션이 완료(commit) 연산을 요구하는 시점에서 접근한 캐시데이터의 일관성을 위한 작업이 시작되므로 최종적인 완료까지는 지연이 발생하게된다. 이때 다른 클라이언트에서 잠금 충돌(lock conflict)에 의해 전역 교착상태(global deadlock)가 발생한다면 블락(block)되어 지연되는 시간은 더욱 증가하게된다. 본 논문에서는 향상된 O2PL 기법으로 PN(Preemption by Notification)-O2PL 기법을 제안한다. 이 접근에서는 O2PL의 특성으로 얻을 수 있는 연산정보를 관련된 다른 트랜잭션에게 통지(notification)로 사용하고 제시한 조건에 해당할 경우 상대 자원을 바로 사용할 수 있게 한다. 이 조건은 대부분의 전역 교착 상태에 해당하는 두 트랜잭션간의 교착상태를 조기에 신속히 감지할 수 있게 하여 트랜잭션 완료의 지연을 감소시키게 한다. PN-O2PL 알고리즘이 기존의 O2PL기법보다 빠른 응답시간을 얻을 수 있음을 모의 실험을 통하여 보인다.

Broadcast disks are suited for disseminating information to a large number of clients in mobile computing environments. In broadcast disks, the server continuously and repeatedly broadcasts all data items in the database to clients without specific requests. The clients monitor the broadcast channel and retrieve data items as they arrive on the broadcast channel. The broadcast channel then becomes a disk from which clients can retrieve data items. In this paper, we propose a cache conscious concurrency control ($C^4$) scheme to preserve the consistency of client transactions, when the values of broadcast data items are updated at the server. $C^4$ scheme is novel in the sense that it can reduce the response time of client transactions with minimal control information to be broadcast from the server. This is achieved by the judicious caching strategy of the clients.
