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.

This article focuses on the legal systems and practice of intellectual property protection in Japan and China, including the relating civil litigation and administrative litigation procedures. The challenge of balancing the relationship between an invalidation trial and an invalid defense during the process of civil patent infringement litigation is a common issue to be solved in both Japan and China. In addition, it is quite usual that the IP products are being imported and exported across the borders due to the expansion of international trade. Accordingly, one of the most symbolic and difficult issues is how to balance the development of international trade and IP protection in each country. In other words, there is a practical issue regarding whether a parallel import of patented products is acceptable to a country or not. The key to determining this issue depends on the judgment of international exhaustion.

휴대폰의 사용이 급증하고 스마트폰, PDA와 칼은 우선 단말기 등의 개발이 점차적으로 확대됨에 딸라 이런 휴대용 단말기를 이용하여 인터넷 환경이 아닌 무선 네트웍을 이용하여 데이터 통신을 하는 일이 급속도로 증가 되고 있다. 이런 환경에서 우선 단말기에서 캐쉬를 사용한다고 하면 아직은 적은 메모리와 스토리지 용량을 가진 무선 단말기에서의 데이터 통신을 좀 더 효과적으로 이용할 수 있을 것이다. 특히 본 논문에서는 모바일 클라이언트(MC) 내의 캐쉬 된 데이터가 무효화(invalidation)될 때 서버에서 보내야 하는 무효성 보고 패킷( IR )의 발생과 관련하여 그 패킷 수를 줄여서 대역폭이 낮은 무선 환경에 적합한 알고리즘을 논의한다. MSS(Mobile Switching Station)을 이용한 계층적 캐쉬 알고리즘을 제시하며 데이터의 수정 주기를 이용한 AVI_based 알고리즘을 제시한다. MSS는 MC의 캐쉬의 내용을 알고 있는 state server의 역할을 하게 된다. MC는 캐쉬의 데이터의 avi가 이전보다 짧아졌다는 IR을 받거나 현재 시간과 avi값에 의해 그 데이터가 무효하다는 것을 판단한다. 본 논문의 마지막은 제시된 알고리즘의 시뮬레이션 설계를 통해 AVI 값의 주기성에 따른 성능 평가를 보여준다.

이동 컴퓨팅(Mo띠le Computing) 환경에서 빈번한 접속 단절은 클라이언트의 캐시 일관성(Consistency) 문제로 직결된다. 본 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 일한 무효화 보고(Invalidation Report. In)중 하나를 제시한다. 기존의 IR방식은 대량의 데이터와 빈번한 데이터의 갱신(Update)시 IR 길이의 증기폭이 상당히 크다. 이는 타임스탬프가 IR에서 차지하는 비중이 큼으로써 오는 현상이다. 또한 기존방식은 캐시 레벨의 선택적 청취(Selective tuning)를 지원하지 못하는 문제점을 가지오 있다. 이러한 점을 극복하고자 B＋Tree를 기반으로 시간 값을 구성하고 이에 따른 데이터 아이디를 재구성하는 IR방식을 제안한다. 이를 활용하면 각 클라이언트가 자신의 단절(Disconnect)된 시간에 맞는 갱신 정보를 확인할 수 있게 된다. 이러한 방법은 기존 IR의 단점을 보완하며 선택적 청취론 유도할 수 있는 효과적인 방법이다.

A Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) is a vehicular specific type of a mobile ad-hoc network, to provide temporary communications among nearby vehicles. Mobile node of VANET consumes energy and resource with participating in the member of network. In a VANET, data replication and cooperative caching have been used as promising solutions to improve system performance. Existing cooperative caching scheme in a VANET mostly focuses on weak consistency is not always satisfactory. In this paper, we propose an efficient cache management scheme to maintain strong data consistency in a VANET. We make an adaptive scheduling scheme to broadcast Invalidation Report (IR) in order to reduce query delay and communication overhead to maintain strong data consistency. The simulation result shows that our proposed method has a strength in terms of query delay and communication overhead.

In mobile computing environments, a mobile host caches the data to use the narrow bandwidth efficiently and improve the response time. A server periodically broadcasts the update data for maintaining the cache consistency of a mobile host. However, a method for maintaining cache consistency using periodic invalidation report has a problem that defers the commit decision of a mobile transaction to guarantee its serializable execution. In this paper, we propose CCM-AD method that guarantees the serializable execution of a mobile transaction even in the case that it is executed using cached data. As CCM-AD method guarantees the serializable execution of mobile transactions by using the intersection between the data broadcast to mobile host and the data updated at server. Then the CCM-AD method can reduce the delay of commitment decision of a mobile transaction. Also our method can reduce the size of invalidation report.

Cached data management of clients is required to guarantee the correctness of client's applications. There are two categories of cache consistency algorithms : detection-based and avoidance-based cache consistency algorithm. Detection?.based schemes allow stale data access and then check the validity of any cached data before they ran be allowed to commit. In contrast, under avoidance-based algorithms, transactions never have the opportunity to access stale data. In this paper, we propose a new avoidance-based cache consistency algorithm make use of version. The proposed method maintains the two versions at clients and servers, so it has no callback message and it can be reduced abort ratio of transactions compare with the single-versioned algorithms. In addition to, the proposed method can be decreased cache miss using by mixed invalidation and propagation for remote update action.

In a wireless client server environment, data broadcasting is an efficient data dissemination method; a server broadcasts data, and some of broadcasted data are cached in a mobile client's cache to save the narrow communication bandwidth, limited resources, and data access time. A server also broadcasts invalidation reports to maintain the consistency between server data and a client's cached data. Most of existing works on the cache consistency problems simply purge the entire cache when the disconnection time is long enough to miss the certain amount(window size) of IRs. This paper presents a cache invalidation method to increase mobile clients' cache reusability in case of a long disconnection. Instead of simply dropping the entire cache regardless of its consistency, a client estimates the cost of purging all the data with the cost of selective purge. If the cost of dropping entire cache is higher, a client maintains the cache and selectively purge inconsistent data using uplink bandwidth for validation request. The simulation results show that this scheme increases the cache reusability since it effectively considers the update rates and the broadcast frequencies of cached data in estimating the cost of cache maintenance.

이동 컴퓨팅 환경에서 이동 호스트는 제한된 대역폭을 효율적으로 사용하고 이동 트랜잭션의 응답 시간을 향상시키기 위하여 캐쉬를 이용한다. 그리고 이동 호스트에 캐슁된 데이타가 이동 지구국에서 갱신되면 이동 호스트의 캐쉬 일관성을 유지하기 위하여 이동 지구국은 무효화 메시지를 방송한다. 그러나 이동 지구국에서 주기적으로 무효화 메시지를 방송하는 방법은 이동 트랜잭션의 빠른 처리를 위하여 이동 지구국으로부터 데이타를 즉시 캐슁하는 경우에 이동 트랜잭션의 직렬가능한 수행을 보장할 수 없는 경우가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 캐슁된 데이타를 이용하여 이동 트랜잭션을 수행하는 경우에 록을 이용하여 이동 트랜잭션의 직렬가능한 수행을 보장하는 UCL-MT 방법과 록 관리 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 UCL-MT 방법은 이동 트랜잭션을 완료하기 이전에 이동 트랜잭션이 접근한 데이타 정보를 이용하여 지구국에서 사이클을 탐지함으로써 이동 트랜잭션의 직렬가능한 수행을 보장한다. 또한 제안하는 록 관리 방법은 이용할 수 있는 대역폭의 크기에 따른 무효화 메시지 내용의 변화에 유연하게 적용될 수 있다. Abstract In mobile computing environments, a mobile host caches the data to use the narrow bandwidth efficiently and improve the response time of a mobile transaction. If the cached data in mobile host is updated at a mobile support station, the mobile support station broadcasts an invalidation message for maintaining the cache consistency of a mobile host. But when a mobile transaction accesses the data which is not in cache, if a mobile host caches the data immediately from a mobile support station for processing a mobile transaction rapidly, the method that a mobile support station broadcasts an invalidation message periodically, happens to the case that can not guarantee the serializable execution of a mobile transaction. In this paper, we propose the UCL-MT method and lock management method, as a mobile transaction is executed using cached data. Since, using the data a mobile transaction accessed, the UCL-MT method detects a cycle in a mobile support station before the completion of the mobile transaction, it guarantees the serializable execution of the mobile transaction. Also, proposing lock management method can be adapted flexibly at the change of invalidation message content, according to the available bandwidth.

In the mobile computing environment, caching data at the client's side is a useful technique for improving the performance. For caching to be effective, the cache contents must be consistent with those stored in the server. That is, unfortunately, difficult to enforce due to the frequent disconnection and mobility of clients. In the literature, the basic approach adopted is for the sever to periodically broadcast invalidation reports(IRs) that contain information about objects that have been updated recently. However IR-based cache maintenance scheme has a main drawback. Any client who has been disconnected longer than w seconds has to discard all cached items even some of them may still be valid. In this paper, we propose two main schemes which can adapt clients' losing IR messages by long disconnection. First, the client sends its disconnection time when connection is re-established, and the server uses this information to decide the size of broadcast window w dynamically. Second, the server maintains IR messages for a given period of time and a client who has been disconnected longer than w seconds can verify its cache consistency individually. Compared to previous IR-based schemes, our schemes can significantly reduce cache missing and uplink request and improve the throughput by reducing response time.
