This paper presents region-based storage management schemes, which support the efficient implementation of checkpointing and message logging for fault tolerant mobile computing systems. In the proposed schemes, a recovery manager assigned for a group of cells takes care of the recovery for the mobile hosts within the region. As a result, the recovery information of a mobile host, which may be d...

Near-data in-storage processing research has been gaining momentum in recent years. Typical processing-in-storage architecture places a single or several processing cores inside the storage and allows data processing without transferring it to the host CPU. Since this approach replicates von Neumann architecture inside storage, it is exposed to the problems faced by von Neumann architecture, es...

Niemann-Pick disease is caused by a genetic deficiency in acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) leading to the intracellular accumulation of sphingomyelin and cholesterol in lysosomes. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of direct intracerebral transplantation of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) on the brain storage pathology in the ASM knock-out (ASMKO) mouse model of Type A Niemann-Pick diseas...

Context data is important information for catching the behaviors of applications in a pervasive space. To effectively store huge amount of data, treelike layered storage architecture is proposed, where the leaf nodes collect data from sensing devices. In order to integrate data from mobile devices, the related leaf nodes that get data from the same device should upload and store the data to ∗ c...

Gas storage/separation is a typical application of porous materials such as metal organic frameworks (MOFs). The adsorption/separation behavior results from the host-guest and/or guest-guest interaction and equilibration (host, porous material; guest, adsorbates). Although the driving forces for gas adsorption have been investigated, a detailed picture of interactions between gas molecules and ...

The principal trend in the design of computer systems is the expectation of much greater computational power in future generations of microprocessors. This trend applies to embedded systems as well as host processors. As a result, devices such as storage controllers have excess capacity and growing computational capabilities. Storage system designers are exploiting this trend with higher-level ...

Information security risks associated with Universal Serial Bus (USB) storage devices have been serious issues since 2003, which marked the wide adoption of USB technologies in the computing industry, especially in corporate networks. Due to the insecure design and the open standards of USB technologies, attackers have successfully exploited various vulnerabilities in USB protocols, USB embedde...
