최근 유비쿼터스 시스템을 설계하고 개발하기 위한 방법들 중 하나로서, 다중 에이전트 모델을 이용하는 방식이 연구되고 있다. 이러한 방식은 다중 에이전트 모델의 장점을 유비쿼터스시스템에서 수용할 수 있도록 하였다. 그러나, 특정 유비쿼터스 시스템에 대해서는 기존의 다중 에이전트 모델들만으로는 완벽하게 기술하기에 어려운 부분이 있다. 본 논문에서는 사용자의 요구가 동적으로 생성되면 개체들이 협업하여 이를 해결하는 협업 위주의 유비쿼터스 시스템에 초점을 맞추었다. 이러한 시스템에서는 서비스를 제공하기 위하여 형성되는 컴퓨팅 요소들간의 협업 조직이 매우 중요하지만, 일반적인 다중 에이전트 모델로는 이러한 협업 조직을 효과적으로 표현하기가 쉽지 않다. 즉, 기존의 모델만으로는 이러한 협업 조직의 동적인 생성과 소멸, 동적인 조직의 구성방식, 그리고 서비스를 제공하기 위한 조직 내에서 또한 조직들간의 협업 방식을 기술자기가 쉽지 않다는 것이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 그러한 협업 조직을 커뮤니티라 하고, 협업 중심의 유비쿼터스 시스템을 커뮤니티에 기반하여 기술하는 추상화 모델로서 커뮤니티 컴퓨팅 모델을 제안하였다. 또한 본 논문에서는 유비쿼터스 시스템을 위한 체계적인 개발 체계가 수립되어 있지 않다는 점에 주목하고, 제안된 커뮤니티 컴퓨팅 모델을 기반으로 응용 시스템을 개발하기 위한 시스템 개발 과정을 제안하고 이를 빠르고 편리하게 도와주는 개발 도구를 구현하여 보았다. 마지막으로, 소규모의 유비쿼터스 시스템을 제안한 추상화 모델로 기술하고 개발 도구를 사용하여 다중 에이전트 플랫폼에서 개발하여, 제안한 방법의 실현성을 검증하여 보았다.

Recent ubiquitous computing environments increasingly impact on our lives using the current technologies of sensor network and ubiquitous services. In this paper, we propose ubiquitous architectural framework for ubiquitous sleep aid service(UbiSAS) in the subset of ubiquitous computing for refreshing of human's sleep. And we examine technical feasibility. Human can recover his health through refreshing sleep from fatigue. Ubiquitous architectural framework for UbiSAS in digital home offers agreeable sleeping environment and improves recovery from fatigue. So we present new concept of ubiquitous architectural framework dissolving stress. Specially, we apply context to context-aware framework module. This context is transferred to context adaptive inference engine which has service invocation function in intelligent agent module. Ubiquitous architectural framework for UbiSAS using context adaptive rule inference engine without user intervention is technical issue. That is to say, we should take sleep comfortably during our sleeping. And sensed information during sleeping is changed to context-aware information. This presents significant information in context adaptive rule inference engine for UbiSAS. This information includes all sleeping state during sleeping in context-aware computing technique. So we propose more effective and most suitable ubiquitous architectural framework using context adaptive rule inference engine for refreshing sleep in this paper.

With the advent of ubiquitous computing environments, it has become increasingly important for applications to take full advantage of contextual information, such as the user's location, to offer greater services to the user without any explicit requests. In this paper, we propose context-aware active services based on context-aware middleware for URC systems (CAMUS). The CAMUS is a middleware that provides context-aware applications with a development and execution methodology. Accordingly, the applications based on CAMUS respond in a timely fashion to contextual information. This paper presents the system architecture of CAMUS and illustrates the content recommendation and control service agents with the properties, operations, and tasks for context-aware active services. To evaluate CAMUS, we apply the proposed active services to a TV application domain. We implement and experiment with a TV content recommendation service agent, a control service agent, and TV tasks based on CAMUS. The implemented content recommendation service agent divides the user's preferences into common and specific models to apply other recommendations and applications easily, including the TV content recommendations.

In this paper, a new protocol-based approach was proposed for development of a ubiquitous vision system. It is possible to apply the approach by regarding the ubiquitous vision system as a multiagent system. Thus, each vision sensor can be regarded as an agent (vision agent). Each vision agent independently performs exact segmentation for a target by color and motion information, visual tracking for multiple targets in real-time, and location estimation by a simple perspective transform. Matching problem for the identity of a target during handover between vision agents is solved by the Identified Contract Net (ICN) protocol implemented for the protocol-based approach. The protocol-based approach by the ICN protocol is independent of the number of vision agents and moreover the approach doesn't need calibration and overlapped region between vision agents. Therefore, the ICN protocol raises speed, scalability, and modularity of the system. The protocol-based approach was successfully applied for our ubiquitous vision system and operated well through several experiments.

The ubiquitous environment is to support people in their everyday life in an inconspicuous and unobtrusive way. This requires that information of the person and her preferences, liking, and habits are available in the ubiquitous system. In this paper, we propose the context aware system that can provide the tailored information service for user in ubiquitous computing environment. The system architecture is composed of 4 domain models that can perform some pre-defined tasks independently. And we suggest the hybrid algorithm combined with fuzzy and Bayesian network to reason what information is suitable for user environment. Finally, we apply to agent based RGA(Research Guide Assistant).

The design, development and deployment of Mobile Agent (MA) systems for high-level inference and surveillance in wireless sensor networks and RFID systems have drawn increasing attention in the past decade. To answer how the state-of-the-art of MA in a wide range of ubiquitous and sensor environments is, this paper investigates the current progress of MA. It proposes a taxonomy, by which MA systems in ubiquitous computing environments are decomposed and discussed. Then, this paper provides insights into the strengths and weaknesses of existing efforts. Finally, it presents a series of solutions from the viewpoint of various roles of MA in ubiquitous environments and situations.

Recently, the korean statistical information service reported that the elder people aged over 65 years take 11 percentage point of all population, indicating that the hyper-elder era will advent shortly. As a result, there are remarkably increasing demands for providing self-organizable home agent system for elder people. Of the home agent system, the ubiquitous home service is known to be useful to overcome this problem. However, current ubiquitous home services limited to provide functional services, and it can be observed that there is lack of consideration for elder-support products which are closely interacted with elder people in the living situation. In this paper, we analyze senior aids products that can be combined to the ubiquitous home service, and propose design procedure for senior aids products that can be applied to self-organizable ubiquitous services. We studied characteristics of elder people, current state of affairs for senior aids products, and home services that are highly required by elder people. Moreover, we observed that the ubiquitous home services related to health, safety, and amenity are urgently needed, and those services can be categorized according to residential areas. Following those observances, we proposed a design principle based on the universal design paradigm to provide self-organizable ubiquitous home service environment for elder people using senior aids products.

System management application system is one of the most interesting fields in Ubiquitous Sensor Networks. It conforms to the property of Ubiquitous Sensor Networks very well, and it is the closest application for commercial use. We have two kinds of system management technology, such as the one which is accessed by web browser at anytime, anywhere and another one which is for local accessed system. In this paper, our purpose is implementation of system management application system which provides Mesh Sensor Networks topology with IP based agent platform and system management server. Furthermore we introduce the functions used for our recent implementation and propose several future issues about system management application system.

유비쿼터스 시대의 도래와 함께, 사용자 중심 서비스를 위해 HCI 요소를 최대한 활용하는 HCI 미들웨어에 대한 중요성이 점점 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라 사용자 중심 서비스를 제공하기 위한 HCI 미들웨어에 대한 여러 연구가 진행되었다. 하지만 기존의 연구들은 사용자 중심 서비스 제공에 반드시 필요한 HCI 기능들에 대한 종합적 지원이 부족하다. 본 논문에서는 사용자 중심 서비스 지원을 위한 에이전트 기반 지능형 HCI 미들웨어인 AIM(Agent-based Intelligent Middleware)을 제안한다. 먼저 기존의 여러 HCI 미들웨어들을 분석하여 HCI 미들웨어의 요구조건을 도출하고, 상황 정보 관리, 사용자 행동 패턴 추론, 동적 에이전트 생성 등을 통해 여러 HCI 기능들을 종합적으로 제공할 수 있는 AIM을 설계한다. 또한 스마트 공간에서 사용자 모달리티 기반 서비스 시나리오를 소개하고, 프로토타입 구현을 통해 소개한 미들웨어의 이점을 보인다.
