A functional reduction method of Petri nets is proposed. The method is based on interpretation of relations and transitions with functions which map one series of a relation a another. In particular, we propose CF-join which combines two transitions to new one after reduction of the common places, CE-join which superpose two transitions to one after superposition of the common places, and EQ-join which reduces the common places, after the Petri nets were explained be a relational scheme. A reduced net can be obtained without changing the properties such as liveness and boundness.

One of the methods for integrating XML data in distributed environments is using XML view. User can query toward distributed local XML views by using global XQuery queries in XQuery which is a standard query language for searching XML data. The global XQuery queries naturally contain join operations because of integrating and searching distributed heterogeneous data. Since join operations are generally expensive for processing a query, its processing technique is very important for efficient processing of global XQuery queries. Therefore there are some studies on the efficient processing of join operations and one of these studies is that selects minimum join cost by estimating a join selectivity. In case of SQL, there are already some researches for estimating a join selectivity and join cost of global SQL queries. However we can not apply their methods for estimating the selectivity of join operations in SQL queries into XQuery queries because of the structural difference between relational data and XML data. Therefore this paper proposes a method for estimating a selectivity of join operations in XQuery queries using the information of XML views. Our contribution is three threefold. First, we define the difference point for estimating join selectivity between SQL and XQuery. Second, we estimate join selectivity in XQuery queries by referring XML views. Third, we evaluate our estimating method.

In this paper, we deal with a method of efficiently processing continuous queries in a data stream environment. We classify previous query processing methods into two dual categories - data-initiative and query-initiative - depending on whether query processing is initiated by selecting a data element or a query. This classification stems from the fact that data and queries have been treated asymmetrically. For processing continuous queries, only data-initiative methods have traditionally been employed, and thus, the performance gain that could be obtained by query-initiative methods has been overlooked. To solve this problem, we focus on an observation that data and queries can be treated symmetrically. In this paper, we propose the duality model of data and queries and, based on this model, present a new viewpoint of transforming the continuous query processing problem to a multi-dimensional spatial join problem. We also present a continuous query processing algorithm based on spatial join, named Spatial Join CQ. Spatial Join CQ processes continuous queries by finding the pairs of overlapping regions from a set of data elements and a set of queries defined as regions in the multi-dimensional space. The algorithm achieves the effects of both of the two dual methods by using the spatial join, which is a symmetric operation. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms earlier methods by up to 36 times for simple selection continuous queries and by up to 7 times for sliding window join continuous queries.

Recently, many studies on query processing algorithms has been done for spatial networks, such as roads and railways, instead of Euclidean spaces, in order to efficiently support LBS(location-based service) and Telematics applications. However, both a closest pairs query and an e-distance join query require a very high cost in query processing because they can be answered by processing a set of POIs, instead of a single POI. Nevertheless, the query processing cost for closest pairs and e-distance join queries is rapidly increased as the number of k (or the length of radius) is increased. Therefore, we propose both a closest pairs query processing algorithm and an e-distance join query processing algorithm using a POI-based materialization technique so that we can process closest pairs and e-distance join queries in an efficient way. In addition, we show the retrieval efficiency of the proposed algorithms by making a performance comparison of the conventional algorithms.

As distributed computing platforms like Hadoop MapReduce have been developed, it is necessary to perform the conventional query processing techniques, which have been executed in a single computing machine, in distributed computing environments efficiently. Especially, studies on similarity join query processing in distributed computing environments have been done where similarity join means retrieving all data pairs with high similarity between given two data sets. But the existing similarity join query processing schemes for distributed computing environments have a problem of skewed computing load balance between clusters because they consider only the data transmission cost. In this paper, we propose Matrix-based Load-balancing Algorithm for efficient similarity join query processing in distributed computing environment. In order to uniform load balancing of clusters, the proposed algorithm estimates expected computing cost by using matrix and generates partitions based on the estimated cost. In addition, it can reduce computing loads by filtering out data which are not used in query processing in clusters. Finally, it is shown from our performance evaluation that the proposed algorithm is better on query processing performance than the existing one.

Set-valued attributes appear in many applications to model complex objects occurring in the real world. One of the most important operations on set-valued attributes is the set join, because it provides a various method to express complex queries. Currently proposed set join algorithms are based on block nested loop join in which inverted files are partitioned horizontally into blocks. Evaluating these joins are expensive because they generate intermediate partial results severely and finally obtain the final results after merging partial results. In this paper, we present an efficient processing of set join algorithm. We propose a new set join algorithm that vertically partitions inverted files into blocks, where each block fits in memory, and performs block nested loop join without producing intermediate results. Our experiments show that the vertical bitmap nested set join algorithm outperforms previously proposed set join algorithms.

Spatio-temporal join operators are essential to the management of spatio-temporal data such as moving objects. For example, the join operators are parts of processing to analyze movement of objects and search similar patterns of moving objects. Various studies on spatio-temporal join queries in outdoor space have been done. Recently with advance of indoor positioning techniques, location based services are required in indoor space as well as outdoor space. Nevertheless there is no one about processing of spatio-temporal join query in indoor space. In this paper, we introduce continuous spatio-temporal self-join queries in indoor space and propose a method of processing of the join queries over stream data of moving objects. The continuous spatio-temporal self-join query is to update the joined result set satisfying spatio-temporal predicates continuously. We assume that positions of moving objects are represented by symbols such as a room or corridor. This paper proposes a data structure, called Candidate Pairs Buffer, to filter and maintain massive stream data efficiently and we also investigate performance of proposed method in experimental study.

MapReduce provides high levels of system scalability and fault tolerance for large-size data processing. A MapReduce-based k-nearest-neighbor(k-NN) join algorithm seeks to produce the k nearest-neighbors of each point of a dataset from another dataset. The algorithm has been considered important in bigdata analysis. However, the existing k-NN join query-processing algorithm suffers from a high index-construction cost that makes it unsuitable for the processing of bigdata. To solve the corresponding problems, we propose a new grid-based, k-NN join query-processing algorithm. Our algorithm retrieves only the neighboring data from a query cell and sends them to each MapReduce task, making it possible to improve the overhead data transmission and computation. Our performance analysis shows that our algorithm outperforms the existing scheme by up to seven-fold in terms of the query-processing time, while also achieving high extent of query-result accuracy.

Multi-way spatial join is a nested expression of two or more spatial joins. It costs much to process multi-way spatial join, but there have not still reported the scheme of parallel processing of multi-way spatial join. In this paper, parallel processing of multi-way spatial join consists of parallel multi-way spatial filter and parallel spatial refinement. Parallel spatial refinement is executed by the following two steps. The first is the generation of a graph used for reducing duplication of both spatial objects and spatial operations from pairs candidate object table that are the results of multi-way spatial filter. The second is the parallel spatial refinement using that graph. Refinement using the graph is proved to be more efficient than the others. In task creation for parallel refinement, minimum duplication partitioning of the Spatial_Obicct_On_Node graph shows best performance.

Normaly, the map generlization methode has been used for the making of small scale map using a large scale map. The object join methode is consumed of a lots of processing time and the manual process. The object Join technique used in the NGI based on the digital map ver. 1.0 have problems of poor Joining rate and a lots of processing time. This study has improved the object Join technique considering of the geometry and attribute information for the digital map ver. 2.0. Using improved technique increased joining rate of object and reduced the processing time.
