With the advances in wireless communication technology and the advent of smartphones, research on location-based services (LBSs) is being actively carried out. In particular, several spatial index methods have been proposed to provide efficient LBSs. However, finding an optimal indexing method that balances query performance and index size remains a challenge in the case of wireless environments that have limited channel bandwidths and device resources (computational power, memory, and battery power). Thus, mechanisms that make existing spatial indexing techniques more efficient and highly applicable in resource-limited environments should be studied. Bitmap-based Spatial Indexing (BSI) has been designed to support LBSs, especially in wireless broadcast environments. However, the access latency in BSI is extremely large because of the large size of the bitmap, and this may lead to increases in the search time. In this paper, we introduce a Selective Bitmap-based Spatial Indexing (SBSI) technique. Then, we propose an Adaptive Bitmap-based Spatial Indexing (ABSI) to improve the tuning time in the proposed SBSI scheme. The ABSI is applied to the distribution of geographical objects in a grid by using the Hilbert curve (HC). With the information in the ABSI, grid cells that have no objects placed, (i.e., 0-bit information in the spatial bitmap index) are not tuned during a search. This leads to an improvement in the tuning time on the client side. We have carried out a performance evaluation and demonstrated that our SBSI and ABSI techniques outperform the existing bitmap-based DSI (B DSI) technique.

In mobile environment supporting mobility technologies, user requirements have been increased with respect to utilization of location information. In particular, moving object DBMS has consistently posed in order to efficiently maintain traffic information related to location of vehicle which tents to tremendously change over time. Despite the fact that these sorts of researches must be taken into consideration, empirical studies on moving object in terms of map database for lbs service, spatial attribute of which is continuously changed over time, have rarely performed. Therefore, aim of this paper is to suggest efficient spatial index scheme, which is capable of supporting query processing algorithm and location of moving object over time, by developing new empirical model. As a result, we can come to the conclusion that moving object model based on multi-fixed grid index makes it possible to cut down on the number of entity for retrieving. What's more, this model enables hierarchical data to be accessed through efficient spatial filtering on large-scale lbs data and constraints in accordance with level in order to display map.

Recently, there are some social issues that personal sensitive data in database were let out. The best method to protect these personal sensitive data is used by the database encryption method. But the encrypting database makes the query difficult. So, there are a lot of study to protect the database and increase the query efficiency as well. In this paper, we analysed recent research trend to protect the sensitive data and propose the combined method using buckets and the bloom filter for the medical database with range property. Compared to bucket index model, the proposed method can increase bucket index value and protect data distribution exposure. We can estimate that this proposed method can improve searching time and efficiency.

In the Semantic Web, it is possible to provide intelligent information retrieval and automated web services by defining a concept of information resource and representing a semantic relation between resources with meta data and ontology. It is very important to manage semantic data such as ontology and meta data efficiently for implementing essential functions of the Semantic Web. Thus we propose an index structure to support more accurate search results and efficient query processing by considering semantic and structural features of the semantic data. Especially we use a graph data model to express semantic and structural features of the semantic data and process various type of queries by using graph model based path expressions. In this paper the proposed index aims to distinguish our approach from earlier studies and involve the concept of the Semantic Web in its entirety by querying on primarily extracted structural path information and secondary extracted one through semantic inferences with ontology. In the experiments, we show that our approach is more accurate and efficient than the previous approaches and can be applicable to various applications in the Semantic Web.

Due to the rapid development of IoT(Internet of Things) technology, traditional taxis are connected through dispatchers and location systems. Typically, modern taxis have embedded with GPS(Global Positioning System), which aims for obtaining the route information. By analyzing the frequency of taxi trip events, we can find the frequent route for a given query time. However, a scalability problem would occur when we convert the raw location data of taxi trip events into the analyzed frequency information due to the volume of location data. For this problem, we propose a NoSQL based top-K query system for taxi trip events. First, we analyze raw taxi trip events and extract frequencies of all routes. Then, we store the frequency information into hash-based index structure of MongoDB which is a document-oriented NoSQL database. Efficient top-K query processing for frequent route is done with the top of the MongoDB. We validate the efficiency of our algorithms by using real taxi trip events of New York City.

As a standard query language to search XML data, XQuery and XPath were proposed by W3C. By widely using XQuery and XPath languages, recent researches focus on the development of query processing algorithm and data structure for efficiently processing XML query with the enormous XML database system. Recently, when processing XML path expressions, the concept of the structural join which may determine the structural relationship between XML elements, e.g., ancestor-descendant or parent-child, has been one of the dominant XPath processing mechanisms. However, structural joins which frequently occur in XPath query processing require high cost. In this paper, we propose a new structural join algorithm, called SISJ, based on our structured index, called SI, in order to process XPath queries efficiently. Experimental results show that our algorithm performs marginally better than previous ones. However, in the case of high recursive documents, it performed more than 30% by the pruning feature of the proposed method.

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.

As the use of various application services utilizing Web and IoT and the need for large amounts of data management expand accordingly, the importance of efficient data expression and exchange scheme and data query processing is increasing. JSON, characterized by its simplicity, is being used in various fields as a format for data exchange and data storage instead of XML, which is a standard data expression and exchange language on the Web. This means that it is important to develop indexing and query processing techniques to effectively access and search large amounts of data expressed in JSON. Therefore, in this paper, we modeled JSON data with a hierarchical structure in a tree form, and proposed indexing and query processing using the path concept. In particular, we designed an index structure using a suffix array widely used in text search and introduced simple and complex path-based JSON data query processing methods.

Existing R-tree that is based on a variety of outdoor-based techniques to manage moving objects have been investigated. Due to the different characteristics of the indoor and outdoor, it is difficult to management of moving object using existed methods in indoor setting. We propose a new index structure called ACII(adaptive Cell-based index for Indoor moving objects) for Indoor moving objects. ACII is Cell-based access structure adopting an overlapping technique. The ACII refines cells adaptively to handle indoor regional data, which may change its locations over time. The ACII consumed at most 30% of the space required by R-tree based methods, and achieved higher query performance compared with r-tree based methods.
