Abstract: An object of the present invention is to continuously estimate the position with high accuracy while the moving body is traveling. A position estimation device is installed in a moving body, and includes a position estimation unit configured to estimate a position of a subject moving body being the moving body in which the position estimation device is installed using any of positioning means of satellite positioning using a positioning satellite or radio wave positioning using wireless communication, and a positioning means selection unit configured to switch the positioning means the position estimation unit uses for estimation of the position of the subject moving body based on a traveling environment or a peripheral environment of the subject moving body.

Abstract: A database management system (DBMS) performs, in response to a conversion request to convert a store format of a table in a database, a process (base type change process) for changing a store format indicated by information (base type) indicating the store format of the table to a store format according to the conversion request, and performs a data conversion process asynchronously with the aforementioned process. In an import process after the base type change process, the DBMS imports, into the table, a chunk in the store format indicated by the base type after change. In the data conversion process, the DBMS converts a chunk in a store format different from the store format indicated by the base type into a chunk in the store format indicated by the base type.

Abstract: A data processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention may manage one or more tables and a plurality of archive files including one or more records extracted from the table. Upon receiving a search request for the table, the data processing system may generate a query (first partial query) to search for a record from the table corresponding to a condition specified by the search request, and generate a query (second partial query) to identify the archive file including the record extracted from the table specified as a search target in the search request, and search the identified archive file for the record corresponding to the condition specified by the search request. A query for deriving a union of the output results of the first partial query and the second partial query may be generated, and processing related to the generated query may be executed in parallel.
