Abstract

Web-based information services should be evaluated for accessibility and usability with various types of Internet Web-browsing devices, interacting with web information servers. A reliable ubiquitous Web information server, accessible and usable with a variety of Web-browsing devices (e.g. a full-browsing mobile phone), should be a unified center for personalized ubiquitous Web information services as well as for business models based on personalized advertisements. We studied an estimation of the accessibility and usability in Web interaction for personalized ubiquitous Web information services, as metrics for real-time estimation. We show empirical results based on implementation and experiments in Korea, Japan and China, using a test-bed Web site ('ktrip.net') and single-character Korean domain names (e.g. 김.net, 이.net, 박.net, 최.net, ㄱ.net, ㄴ.net ... ㅎ.net, ㅏ.net, ... ㅔ.net, ㄱ.com, ㄴ.com ... ㅎ.com).

웹 기반 정보 서비스는, 웹 정보 서버와 상호작용하는, 다양한 인터넷 웹-브라우징 기기들과의 접근성과 사용성을 위해서 평가되어야 한다. 다양한 웹-브라우징 장치로(예: 풀부라우징 휴대폰) 접근 및 사용가능하며, 신뢰할 수 있는 유비쿼터스 웹 정보서버는 유비쿼터스 웹 정보 서비스뿐만 아니라 개인화된 광고기반의 비즈니스 모델을 위한 통합센터가 되어야 한다. 개인화된 유비쿼터스 웹 정보 서비스를 위한 웹 상호작용의 접근성과 사용성을, 실시간 평가를 위한 메트릭으로서, 연구하였다. 시험용 웹사이트 ('ktrip.net')와 1자 한글 도메인명(예: 김.net, 이.net, 박.net, 최.net, ㄱ.net, ㄴ.net ... ㅎ.net, ㅏ.net ... ㅔ.net, ㄱ.com, ㄴ.com ... ㅎ.com)을 사용하여, 구현 및 한국, 일본 및 중국에서의 실험을 바탕으로 한 실험적 결과를 소개한다.
