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.

Online analytical processing (OLAP) systems are introduced to support decision support systems. Many researches focussed on efficient processing of aggregate functions that usually occur in OLAP queries. However, most previous researches in the literature are deal with the situation in which aggregate functions arc applied to all the values in a given range. Since those approaches utilize characteristic of aggregate functions applied to a range, they are difficult to be applied to a muitipoint query that is a query considering only some points in a given range. In this paper, we propose the Ranking Index and the flanking Decision Tree (RDT) for efficient evaluation of multipoints MAX/MIN queries. The ranking of possible MAX/MIN values are computed with RDT Then MAX/MIN values can be acquired from the Ranking Index. We show through experiments that our method provides high performance in most situations. In other words, the proposed method is robust as well as efficient. A single common set of precomputed results for both MAX and MIN values is another advantage of the proposed method.

In this paper, we address the problem of improving the performance of multi-step k-NN search using multi-dimensional indexes. Due to information loss by lower-dimensional transformations, existing multi-step k-NN search solutions produce a large tolerance (i.e., a large search range), and thus, incur a large number of candidates, which are retrieved by a range query. Those many candidates lead to overwhelming I/O and CPU overheads in the postprocessing step. To overcome this problem, we propose two efficient solutions that improve the search performance by reducing the tolerance of a range query, and accordingly, reducing the number of candidates. First, we propose a tolerance reduction-based (approximate) solution that forcibly decreases the tolerance, which is determined by a k-NN query on the index, by the average ratio of high- and low-dimensional distances. Second, we propose a coefficient control-based (exact) solution that uses c k instead of k in a k-NN query to obtain a tigher tolerance and performs a range query using this tigher tolerance. Experimental results show that the proposed solutions significantly reduce the number of candidates, and accordingly, improve the search performance in comparison with the existing multi-step k-NN solution.

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.

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.

An inverted index structure is widely used for efficient string similarity search. One of the main requirements of similarity search is a fast response time; to this end, most techniques use an in-memory index structure. Since the size of an inverted index structure usually very large, however, it is not practical to assume that an index structure will fit into the main memory. To alleviate this problem, we propose a novel technique that reduces the size of an inverted index. In order to reduce the size of an index, the proposed technique rearranges data strings so that the data strings containing the same q-grams can be placed close to one other. Then, the technique encodes those multiple strings into a range. Through an experimental study using real data sets, we show that our technique significantly reduces the size of an inverted index without sacrificing query processing time.

유비쿼터스 사회를 실현하는 핵심기술인 u-GIS 공간정보 기술은 데이터 스트림 처리 시스템(Data Stream Management System)과 지리정보 시스템(Geography Information System)이 결합된 플랫폼인 u-GIS DSMS를 요구한다. u-GIS DSMS는 GeoSeonsor에서 수집되는 센서 테이터와 GIS의 공간정보 데이터를 결합하여 처리하는 공간영역질의가 다수 요구된다. 이런 공간영역질의들은 특정 지역에 밀집하게 등록되는 경향이 있으며, 유사한 프리디킷을 가질 가능성이 높다. 이러한 특징은 공간영역질의가 특정 지역에 밀집되면 다수의 비슷한 연산들이 반복적으로 처리하기 때문에 시스템 성능이 저하 될 것이다. 이를 해결하기 위해 영역질의 색인기법 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 기존의 VCR-Index와 CQI-Index 기법은 질의영역을 셀 구조나 가상구조로 분할하여 처리하기 때문에 자원 및 연산을 공유 할 수 없어 질의 처리 속도가 현저히 저하되기 때문에 대량의 공간영역질의 처리에는 부적합하다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 공간영역질의의 효율적인 연산 공유를 위한 질의영역 밀집도 기반의 그룹화 기법을 제안한다. 이 기법은 질의영역의 밀집도를 이용하여 공간영역질의들을 그룹화 후 색인을 구성한다. 색인된 영역들의 데이터는 단일 큐로 구성 후 질의들의 프리디킷을 분석하여 자원 및 연산 공유기법을 통해 기존의 기법보다 처리 속도 향상 및 메모리 사용을 감소시켰다.

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to reduce spatial query access latency and energy consumption by leveraging results from nearby peers in wireless broadcast environments. We propose a three-tier Hierarchical Location-Based Sequential access index, called HLBS, which provides selective tuning (pruning and searching entries) without pointers using a linear accessing structure based on the location of each data object. The HLBS saves search cost and index overhead, since the small index size with a sequential index structure results in low access latency overhead and facilitates efficient searches for sequential-access media (wireless channels with data broadcast). Comprehensive experiments illustrate that the proposed scheme is more efficient than the previous techniques in terms of energy consumption.

Generally, multi-dimensional data such as image and spatial data require large amount of storage space. There is a limit to store and manage those large amount of data in single workstation. If we manage the data on parallel computing environment which is being actively researched these days, we can get highly improved performance. In this paper, we propose a parallel high-dimensional index structure that exploits the parallelism of the parallel computing environment. The proposed index structure is nP(processor)-n$\times$mD(disk) architecture which is the hybrid type of nP-nD and lP-nD. Its node structure increases fan-out and reduces the height of a index tree. Also, A range search algorithm that maximizes I/O parallelism is devised, and it is applied to K-nearest neighbor queries. Through various experiments, it is shown that the proposed method outperforms other parallel index structures.

Sensors have a function to gather environment-related information operating by small-size battery in sensor networks. The issue related with energy is still an important in spite of the recent advancements in micro-electro-mechanical-system(MEMS) related techology. Generally it is assumed that replacement or rechargement of battery power in sensor is not feasible and a message send operation may spend at least 1000 times battery than a local operation. Thus, there have been several kinds of research efforts to lessen the number of unnecessary messages by maintaining the information of the other neighboring(or all) sensors. In this paper, we propose an index structure based on parent-children relationship to the purpose. Namely, parent node gathers the set of location information and MBA per child. It's named PH and may allow to process the range query with higher accurate and small size information. Through extensive experiments, we show that our index structure has better energy consumption.
