X-RESTORE:Middleware for XML‘s Relational Storage and Retrieve

We propose a new approach to store and query XML data in an RDBMS basing on the idea of the numbering scheme and inverted list. Our approach allows us to quickly determine the precedence, sibling and ancestor/descendant relationships between any pair of nodes in the hierarchy of XML, and utilize path index to speed up calculating of path expressions. Examples have demonstrated that our approach can effectively and efficiently support both XQuery queries and keyword searches. our approach is also flexible enough to support XML documents both with Schema and without Schema, and applications both retrieval and update. We also present the architecture of middleware for application accessing XML documents stored in relations, and an algorithm translating a given XML document into relation effectively.     

Ontology-Based Context-Aware Middleware for Smart Spaces

Context-awareness enhances human-centric, intelligent behavior in a smart environment; however, context-awareness is not widely used due to the lack of effective infrastructure to support context-aware ap- plications. This paper presents an agent-based middleware for providing context-aware services for smart spaces to afford effective support for context acquisition, representation, interpretation, and utilization to ap- plications. The middleware uses a formal context model, which combines first order probabilistic logic (FOPL) and web ontology language (OWL) ontologies, to provide a common understanding of contextual in- formation to facilitate context modeling and reasoning about imperfect and ambiguous contextual informa- tion and to enable context knowledge sharing and reuse. A context inference mechanism based on an ex- tended Bayesian network approach is used to enable automated reactive and deductive reasoning. The middleware is used in a case study in a smart classroom, and performance evaluation result shows that the context reasoning algorithm is good for non-time-critical applications and that the complexity is highly sensi- tive to the size of the context dataset.

Fluoro-Compounds in Electrolytes for Energy Storage Devices

1 Results Electrochemical energy storage devices such as lithium-ion batteries[1-2] and double-layer capacitors[3-4] have attracted a great deal of attention because of their potential application to electric hybrid vehicles. They utilize nonaqueous electrolyte solutions comprising from organic solvents and lithium or quaternary ammonium salts with fluorine-containing anions. This is because the relatively large anions with electron-withdrawing atoms enable ionic dissociation in dipolar aprotic solvents and afford enough oxidation potentials for high voltage devices.The author reviews their fundamental electrochemical properties such as electrolytic conductivity and electrochemical window based on our experimental results,and explains why fluoro-compounds are important for the electrochemical energy storage devices. Discussion is extended to ionic liquids[5],which recently receive much attention as a non-flammable and non-volatile electrolyte.     

Growth and Holographic Storage Properties of Fe:LiTaO3 Crystal

Using Si-Mo bar as heater and doping Fe2O3 in LiTaO3, Fe∶LiTaO3 crystal was grown by Czochralski method. The curie temperature of the crystal was measured by thermal analyze method. The lattice constants of the crystal were calculated by measuring of X-ray spectra. The response time, exponential gain coefficient and diffraction efficiency of Fe:LiTaO3 were obtained by two wave coupled technique. Compared with Fe∶LiNbO3, the response time of Fe:LiTaO3 is six times shorter, the storage time of Fe:LiTaO3 is ten times longer and the photo scattering resistance ability of Fe:LiTaO3 is four times higher. Fe:LiTaO3 is an excellent holographic storage material.

Study on Optimizing Thermal Energy Storage Capacity for Heat Supply System

Thermal energy storage (TES) can increase the energetic efficiencies and, in many cases, the exergetic efficiencies of thermal energy systems. Steam boiler plant with a violently fluctuating load is a typical example when a steam accumulator is added to it. While the comparatively big first cost constitutes a barrier to the wide use of TES, the cost will notably be reduced through minimizing the necessary thermal capacity of it. The structure and illustrations are given for the computer program designed for performing the optimization. This program was applied to an existing boiler plant equipped with a steam accumulator. The results show that there would have been a big reduction in the necessary capacity, if the design of this steam accumulator had been optimized. Four conclusions have been reached.

The exchange from relational schemas to XML schemas based on semantic constraints

XML is the standard format for data exchange between inter-enterprise applications on the Internet. To facilitate data exchange, industry groups define public document type that specify the format of the XML data to be exchanged between their applications. In this paper, we propose a new method to solve the problem of automating the conversion of relational data into XML. During the conversion, we considers not only the structure of relational schemas, but also semantic constraints such as inclusion dependencies during the translation--it takes as input a relational schema where multiple tables are interconnected through inclusion dependencies and converts it into an X-Schema. Finally, in order to validate our proposal, we present experimental results using real schemas.

HiSC： A Hybrid XML Index Composing Structure-Encoded with Cluster

A new way of indexing and processing twig patterns in an XML documents is proposed in this paper. Every path in XML document can be transformed into a sequence of labels by Structure-Encoded that constructs a one-to-one correspondence between XML tree and sequence. Base on identifying characteristics of nodes in XML tree, the elements are classified and clustered. During query proceeding, the twig pattern is also transformed into its Structure-Encoded. By performing subsequence matching on the set of sequences in XML documents, all the occurrences of path in the XML documents are refined. Using the index, the numbers of elements retrieved are minimized. The search results with pertinent format provide more structure information without any false dismissals or false alarms. The index also supports keyword search Experiment results indicate the index has significantly efficiency with high precision.

关系数据库中实时高效元数据存储算法优化研究

当前关系数据库中元数据存储算法不仅所需存储空间大,而且均衡性和稳定性差,读写效率低下。为此,提出一种新的关系数据库中实时高效元数据存储算法。通过基于优先级的蛇形时隙算法,对关系数据库中的元数据进行存储;通过分割网格区域把关系数据库中某一类型的元数据存储于对应的网格中,把优先级高的元数据存储于和查询节点较近的区域,使得高优先级元数据最先被搜索。针对优先级蛇形时隙算法未考虑元数据存储时缓存因素、缺乏针对元数据访问局部性优化机制的弊端,引入元素存储生存期对其进行改进,以提高元数据存储算法的实时高效性。实验结果表明,所提算法的分布均衡度和稳定性很高,而且存储空间小,读写性能优。
