In this paper, a QT_rev protocol is proposed for identifying all the tags within the identification range. The proposed QT_rev protocol revises the QT protocol, which has a memoryless property. In the QT_rev protocol, the tag will send the remaining bits of their identification codes when the query string matches the first bits of their identification codes. After the reader receives all the responses of the tags, it knows which bit is collided. If the collision occurs in the last bit, the reader can identify two tags simultaneously without further query.

In this paper, we propose a new access method, called the HG-tree, to support indexing and retrieval by image content in large image databases. Image content is represented by a point in a multidimensional feature space. The types of queries considered are the range query and the nearest-neighbor query, both in a multidimensional space. Our goals are twofold: increasing the storage utilization and decreasing the area covered by the directory regions of the index tree. The high storage utilization and the small directory area reduce the number of nodes that have to be touched during the query processing. The first goal is achieved by absorbing splitting if possible, and when splitting is necessary, converting two nodes to three. The second goal is achieved by maintaining the area occupied by the directory region minimally on the directory nodes. We note that there is a trade-off between the two design goals, but the HG-tree is so flexible that it can control the trade-off. We present the design of our access method and associated algorithms. In addition, we report the results of a series of tests, comparing the proposed access method with the buddy-tree, which is one of the most successful point access methods for a multidimensional space. The results show the superiority of our method.

Location-Based services that collect location information for moving object and utilize in real life are being used in many aspects by the development of wireless network technology. Accordingly, new index structures are required to efficiently retrieve the consecutive location of moving objects. This paper addresses algorithms that make index structure by using Douglas-Peucker Algorithm and process range query efficiently on moving objects trajectories. Our algorithms are going to make smaller size of index structure and process more efficiently.

In Gen-2 RFID system, the initial value of $Q_{fp}$, which is the slot-count parameter of Q-algorithm, is not defined in the standard. In this case, if the number of tags within the reader's identification range is small and we let the initial $Q_{fp}$ be large, the number of empty slot will be large. On the other hand, if we let the initial $Q_{fp}$ be small in spite of many tags, almost all the slots will be collided. As a result, the performance will be declined because the frame size does not converge to the optimal point quickly during the query round. In this paper, we propose a scheme to allocate the optimal initial $Q_{fp}$ through the tag number estimation before the query round begins. Through computer simulations, it is demonstrated that the proposed scheme achieves more stable performance than Gen-2 Q-algorithm.

Given a positive integer k as input, a spatial preference query finds the k best data objects based on the scores (e.g., qualities) of feature objects in their spatial neighborhoods. Several solutions have been proposed for spatial preference queries in Euclidean space. A few algorithms study spatial preference queries in undirected spatial networks where each edge is undirected and the distance between two points is the length of the shortest path connecting them. However, spatial preference queries have not been thoroughly investigated in directed spatial networks where each edge has a particular orientation that makes the distance between two points noncommutative. Therefore, in this study, we present a new method called ALPS+ for processing spatial preference queries in directed spatial networks. We conduct extensive experiments with different setups to demonstrate the superiority of ALPS+ over conventional solutions.

In this paper, we design and implement a partial denoising boundary matching system using indexing techniques. Converting boundary images to time-series makes it feasible to perform a fast search using indexes even on a very large image database. Thus, using this converting method we develop a client-server system based on the previous partial denoising research in the GUI(graphical user interface) environment. The client first converts a query image given by a user to a time-series and sends denoising parameters and the tolerance with this time-series to the server. The server identifies similar images from the index by evaluating a range query, which is constructed using inputs given from the client and sends the resulting images to the client. Experimental results show that our system provides many intuitive and accurate matching results.

피라미드 기법 1 은 d-차원의 공간을 2d개의 피라미드들로 분할하는 특별한 공간 분할 방식을 이용하여 고차원 데이타를 효율적으로 색인할 수 있는 새로운 색인 방법으로 제안되었다. 피라미드 기법은 고차원 사각형 형태의 영역 질의에는 효율적이나, 유사성 검색에 많이 사용되는 고차원 구형태의 영역 질의에는 비효율적인 면이 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 고차원 데이타를 많이 사용하는 유사성 검색에 효율적인 새로운 색인 기법으로 구형 피라미드 기법을 제안한다. 구형 피라미드 기법은 먼저 d-차원의 공간을 2d개의 구형 피라미드로 분할하고, 각 단일 구형 피라미드를 다시 구형태의 조각으로 분할하는 특별한 공간 분할 방법에 기반하고 있다. 이러한 공간 분할 방식은 피라미드 기법과 마찬가지로 d-차원 공간을 1-차원 공간으로 변환할 수 있다. 따라서, 변환된 1-차원 데이타를 다루기 위하여 B+-트리를 사용할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이렇게 분할된 공간에서 고차원 구형태의 영역 질의를 효율적으로 처리할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 마지막으로, 인위적 데이타와 실제 데이타를 사용한 다양한 실험을 통하여 구형 피라미드 기법이 구형태의 영역 질의를 처리하는데 있어서 기존의 피라미드 기법보다 효율적임을 보인다.Abstract The Pyramid-Technique 1 was proposed as a new indexing method for high- dimensional data spaces using a special partitioning strategy that divides d-dimensional space into 2d pyramids. It is efficient for hypercube range query, but is not efficient for hypersphere range query which is frequently used in similarity search. In this paper, we propose the Spherical Pyramid-Technique, an efficient indexing method for similarity search in high-dimensional space. The Spherical Pyramid-Technique is based on a special partitioning strategy, which is to divide the d-dimensional data space first into 2d spherical pyramids, and then cut the single spherical pyramid into several spherical slices. This partition provides a transformation of d-dimensional space into 1-dimensional space as the Pyramid-Technique does. Thus, we are able to use a B+-tree to manage the transformed 1-dimensional data. We also propose the algorithm of processing hypersphere range query on the space partitioned by this partitioning strategy. Finally, we show that the Spherical Pyramid-Technique clearly outperforms the Pyramid-Technique in processing hypersphere range queries through various experiments using synthetic and real data.

As rapid improvement in electronic technologies makes sensor hardware more powerful and capable, the application range of sensor networks Is getting to be broader. The main purpose of sensor networks is to monitor the phenomena in interesting regions (e.g., factory warehouses, disaster areas, wild fields, etc) and return required data. The k Nearest Neighbor (KNN) query that finds k objects which are geographically close to the given point is an Important application in sensor networks. However, most previous approaches are either seem to be impractical or are not energy-efficient in resource-limited sensor networks. In this paper. we propose an efficient KNN query processing method in sensor networks. In the proposed method, we dynamically increase searching boundary, if necessary, and traverse nodes inside the boundary until finding k nearest neighbors. Since only the representative sensor nodes are visited, our algorithm reduces a number of messages. We show thorough experiments that the proposed method performs better than the existing method in various network environments.

From the viewpoint of that music melody has the similar features to time-series data, music melody is transformed to a time-series data with normalization and corrections and the similarity between melodies is defined as the Euclidean distance between the transformed time-series data. Then, based the similarity between melodies of a music object, melodies are clustered and the representative of each cluster is extracted as one of theme melodies for the music. To construct the theme melody index, a theme melody is represented as a point of the multidimensional metric space of M-tree. For retrieval of user's query melody, the query melody is also transformed into a time-series data by the same way of indexing phase. To retrieve the similar melodies to the query melody given by user from the theme melody index the range query search algorithm is used. By the implementation of the prototype system using the proposed theme melody index we show the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Spatiotemporal moving objects are changing their Positions and/or shape over time in real world. As most of the indices of moving object are based on the R-tree. they have defects of the R-tree which are dead space and overlap. Some of the indices amplify the defects of the R-tree. In the paper, to solve the problems, we propose the MPR-tree(Moving Point R-tree) using Projection operation which has more effective search than existing moving point indices on time slice query and spatiotemporal range query. The MPR-tree connects positions of the same moving objects over time by using linked list, so it processes the combined query about trajectory effectively. The usefulness of the Projection operation is confirmed during processing moving object queries and in practical use of space from experimentation to compare MPR-tree with existing indices of moving objects. The proposed MPR-tree would be useful in the LBS, the car management using GPS, and the navigation system.
