The mobile computing service market is increasing rapidly due to the development of low-cost wireless network technology and the high-performance mobile computing devices. In recent years, several methods have been proposed to effectively deal with restrictions of the mobile computing environment such as limited bandwidth, frequent disconnection and short-lived batteries. Amongst those methods, much study is being done on the caching method - among the data transmitted from a mobile support station, it selects those that are likely to be accessed in the near future and stores them in the local cache of a mobile host. Existing cache replacement methods have some limitations in efficiency because they do not take into consideration the characteristics of user mobility and spatial attributes of geographical data. In this paper, we show that the value and the semantic of the data, which are stored in the cache of a mobile host, changes according to the movement of the mobile host. We argue it is because data that are geographically near are better suited to provide an answer to a users query in the mobile environment. Also, we define spatial location of geographical data has effect on, using the spatial attributes of data. Finally, we propose two new cache replacement methods that efficiently support user mobility and spatial attributes of data. One is based on the location of data and the other on the meaningful region of data. From the comparative analysis of the previous methods and that they improve the cache hit ratio. Also we show that performance varies according to data density using this, we argue different cache replacement methods are required for regions with varying density of data.

There are two policies for maintaining consistency among the multiple processor caches in a multiprocessor system: Write invalidate and Write update. In the write invalidate policy, whenever a processor attempt to write its cached block, it has to invalidate all the same copies of the updated block in the system. As a results of this frequent invalidations, this policy results in high cache miss ratio. On the other hand, the write update policy renew them, instead of invalidating all the same copies. This policy has to transfer the updated contents through interconnection network, whether the updated block is ptivate or not. Therefore the network suffer from heavy transaction traffic. In this paper we present an efficient cache coherence protocol for shared memory multiprocessor system connected by slotted ring. This protocol is based on the write update policy, but the updated contents are transferred only in case of updating the shared block. Otherwise, if the updated block is private, the updated contents are not transferred. We analyze the proposed protocol and enforce simulation to compare it with previous version.

The directory-based cache coherence scheme is an attractive approach to solve the caceh coherence problem in a large-scale shared-memory multiprocessor.However, the exsting directory-based schemes have some problens such as the enormous storage overhead for a directory, the long invalidation latency, the heavy network condes-tion, and the low scalability.For resolving these problems, we propose a new directroy- based caceh coherence scheme which is suitable for building scalable, shred-memory multiprocessors.In this scheme, each directory en-try ofr a given memory block is a number-balanced binaty tree(NBBT) stucture.The NBBT has several proper-ties to effciently maintain the directory for the cache consistency such that the shape is unique, the maximum depth is [log$_2$n], and the tree has the minimum number of leaf nodes among the binarry tree with n nodes.Therefore, this scheme can reduce the storage overhead, the network traffic, and the inbalidation latency and can ensutr the high- scalability the large-scale shared-memory multiprocessors.

To enhance network efficiency, named-data networking (NDN) implements data caching functionality on intermediate network nodes, and then the nodes directly respond to request messages for cached data. Through the processing of request messages in intermediate node, NDN can efficiently reduce the amount of network traffic, also solve network congestion problems near data sources. Also, NDN provides a data authenticate mechanism so as to prevent various Internet accidents caused from the absence of an authentication mechanism. Hence, through applying NDN to various smart IT convergence services, it is expected to efficiently control the explosive growth of network traffic as well as to provide more secure services. Basically, it is important factors of NDN which data is cached and where nodes caching data is located in a network topology. This paper first analyzes previous works caching content based on the popularity of the content. Then ii investigates the hitting rate of caches in each node of a network topology, and then propose an improved caching scheme based on the result of the analyzation. Finally, it evaluates the performance of the proposal.

'The delay and control overhead during route discovery for destinations outside ad hoc networks are major obstacle to achieving scalability in the Internet. To solve this issue, we propose a novel route discovery scheme equipped with two augmented functions. In this paper, the Internet gateway maintains an address cache of Internet nodes frequently accessed from the ad hoc network and replies with an extended Route Response (RREP) message to the Route Request (RREQ) message based on its routing table and the address cache called EXIT(EXternal node Information Table). These augmented functions make the source node determine the location of the destination as fast as possible. Through simulations, the proposed route discovery scheme using both EXIT and extended RREP message shows considerable' reduction in both route discovery time and control message overhead.

Database sharing system (DSS) refers to a system for high performance transaction processing. In DSS, the processing nodes are locally coupled via a high speed network and share a common database at the disk level. Each node has a local memory, a separate copy of operating system, and a DB'\fS. To reduce the number of disk accesses, the node caches database pages in its local memory buffer. However, since multiple nodes may be simultaneously cached a page, cache consistency must be cnsured so that every node can always access the'latest version of pages. In this paper, we propose efficient cache consistency schemes in DSS, where the database is logically partitioned using primary copy authority to reduce locking overhead, The proposed schemes can improve performance by reducing the disk access overhead and the message overhead due to maintaining cache consistency, Furthermore, they can show good performance when database workloads are varied dynamically.

A database sharing system (DSS) refers to a system for high performance transaction processing. In the DSS, the processing nodes are coupled via a high speed network and share a common database at the disk level. Each node has a local memory and a separate copy of operating system. To reduce the number of disk accesses, the node caches data pages and index pages in its memory buffer. In general, B-tree index pages are accessed more often and thus cached at more processing nodes, than their corresponding data pages. There are also complicated operations in the B-tree such as Fetch, Fetch Next, Insertion and Deletion. Therefore, an efficient cache consistency scheme supporting high level concurrency is required. In this paper, we propose cache consistency schemes using identifiers of index pages and page_LSN of leaf page. The propose schemes can improve the system throughput by reducing the required message traffic between nodes and index re-traversal.

Discrimination of media object segments in wireless home proxies has a significant impact on caching delay, and caching delay degrades the performance of the proxy. In this paper, we propose a Single Fetching Smart Caching (SFSC) strategy and a Multi-Fetching Smart Caching (MFSC) strategy to improve the proxy performance of the home network and improve the caching performance for media object segments. The SFSC strategy is a technique that performs caching by sequential fetching of object segments requested by the home node one at a time, which guarantees a faster cache hit rate, and the MFSC strategy is a technique that caches the media object segments by blocking object segments requested by the home node one at a time, which improves the throughput of cache. Simulation results show that the cache hit rate and the caching delay are more efficient than the MFSC technique, and the throughput of the object segment is more efficient than that of the SFSC technique.

Mark Weiser introduced ubiquitous computing in his article titled 'The computer for 21st Century' in 1991. This has been new paradigm after internet. Now, the rapid development of mobile computer, wireless network, and intelligent system has supported ubiquitous computing environment. In the related area of information science, the researchers have studied on ubiquitous computing. But in the field of Korea statistics, this research has not been worked yet. So, we proposed the connection between statistics and ubiquitous computing in this paper. As an example, we showed an efficient cache hoarding for ubiquitous computing using statistical methods. In experimental results, we verified our proposed issue.

Database sharing system(DBSS) refers to a system for high performance transaction processing. In DBSS, the processing nodes are locally coupled via a high speed network and share a common database at the disk level. Each node has a local memory, a separate copy of operating system, and a DBMS. To reduce the number of disk accesses, the node caches database pages in its local memory buffer. However, since multiple nodes may be simultaneously cached a page, cache consistency must be ensured so that every node can always access the latest version of pages. In this paper, we propose efficient buffer invalidation schemes in DBSS, where the database is logically partitioned using primary copy authority to reduce locking overhead. The proposed schemes can improve performance by reducing the disk access overhead and the message overhead due to maintaining cache consistency. Furthermore, they can show good performance when database workloads are varied dynamically.
