Context-aware engineering services in ubiquitous environments are emerging as a viable alternative to traditional engineering services. Most of the previous approaches are computer-centered rather than human-centered. In this paper, we present a Ubiquitous and Context-Aware computing Framework for collaborative virtual Engineering $(U-CAF\acute{E})$ services. The proposed approach utilizes BPEL-based (Business Process Execution Language) process templates for engineering service orchestration and choreography and adopts semantic web-based context-awareness for providing human-centered engineering services. The paper discusses how to utilize engineering contexts and share this knowledge in support of collaborative virtual engineering services and service interfaces. The paper also discusses how Web services and JINI (Java Intelligent Network Infrastructure) services are utilized to support engineering service federations and seamless Interactions among persons, devices, and various kinds of engineering services.

As recent developing computing environments, service is provided without time or place's limitation, and it is constituted dynamically. Above all, in terms of education supporting system, there is need to conceive user's information and provide optimal service as to right with applying context awareness under Ubiquitous computing environment. It should have groundwork based on user location and time. It is requires service providing based on user location under the condition of class to offer appropriate service with the context. In addition, context information providing technology is needed to offer right education support service in the class, where are different context information. Hence, in this research it is suggested education supporting system to provide context-based for instructor. The framework of this system has a foundation within previous work about Multi-agent based Distributed Framework. To examine implementation of context-based education supporting system in Ubiquitous computing environments suggested by this report, arranging system can fit information relates to instructor's location for service applying in the class.

The development of mobile devices and the spread of wireless network help share and exchange information and resources more easily. The bond them to Cloud Computing technology help pay attention to "Mobile Cloud" service, so there have been being a lot of studies on "Mobile Cloud" service. Especially, the important of 'Personalization Service' which is customized for each user's preference and context has been increasing. In order to provide appropriate personalization services, it enables to recognize user's current state, analyze the user's profile like user's tendency and preference, and draw the service answering the user's request. Most existing frameworks, however, are not very suitable for mobile devices because they were proposed on the web-based. And other context information except location information among user's context information are not much considered. Therefore, this paper proposed the context-aware framework, which provides more suitable services by using user's context and profile.

This paper implemented the u-Healthcare Context Information System (HCIS) supporting ubiquitous healthcare by using location, health and titrating environment information collected from sensors/devices equipped in home for healthcare home service. The HCIS is based on the Distributed Object Group Framework (DOGF), a management model which can customize distributed resources, and manages various context information, applications and devices as a group in healthcare home environment, as one more logical units. Also, this system provides continuous healthcare multimedia service considering a resident's location using Mobile Proxy, and the healthcare context information through Context Provider to a resident in home. For verifying execution of our system, we implemented the seamless multimedia service based on resident's location and the prescription/advice and schedule notification/alarm service as healthcare applications in home. And we showed the executing results of healthcare home service by using service device existed in the residential space on which the resident is located according to the healthcare scenario.

The networked home is connected to the external world using a high speed network. The devices inside the house are connected using a wired and wireless network. Acquiring the user data is an essential step for designing the user interface in user centered design. In networked home, the numbers of use cases are exponentially increased because connected use cases are considered. Because the user data for networked home are too complicated, they are acquired and analyzed by a structured methodology. We surveyed 40 people to acquire the context data home and analyzed by 5W1H (Who, Where, What, When, Why, How). We established a framework for the user data using tasks, user, time, space, objects and environment. The data for home context was structured by our framework. This framework makes simple the home context and is helpful for user interface design in home network.

According to development of internet and an increase in demand of multimedia contents, the contents industry is being developed. However, they are served same contents in the limited environment(user device environment, network environment) of the present contents industry. And users have difficulties in searching and finding contents since they are served contents they want and contents suitable to diverse context and affection. Therefore, it is necessary to make a system offering contents according to context and affection of users. The study proposes the system to offer contents suitable to context and affection of users whenever and wherever through diverse devices in a ubiquitous environment and designs/implementation a user device framework system that users can be offered contents suitable to their devices.

In the age of ubiquitous computing, computer systems will be seamlessly integrated into our everyday life, providing services and information to us in an anywhere, anytime fashion. This ubiquitous computing can be used for developing a ubiquitous learning (U-learning). In this paper, we present a framework for U-school in which ubiquitous computing technologies are applied to advance the existing ERSS (Korea's Educational Resources Sharing System). Our framework applies mobile, sensor, and context-aware technologies to the existing ERSS. This framework presents a user-centric learning environment, using user-centric scenario. The U-school with context-aware services therefore can lead to the just-in-time learning or learner-led learning based on dynamic contexts acquired from learners, teachers and computing entities.

This paper presents a cosmological perturbation analysis in a Newtonian framework, using the Newtonian multi component version of the relativistic covariant equations. This work considers the fully nonlinear evolution of the perturbations, and is generalized to multicomponent systems and imperfect fluids. Known nonlinear solutions are presented in a general framework. Quasi-nonlinear analysis, considering both the compressible and rotational modes, is presented, including cases already known in the literature. The Fourier space representation of the conservation equations is also derived in a general context, with various decompositions of the velocity field. Commonly accepted cosmogonical frameworks are critically examined in the context of nonlinear evolution. This work may be regarded as the Newtonian counterpart of a recently presented general relativistic covariant formulation.

Ontology has many merits such as high expression power and extensibility etc. and there are some suggestion on development of ubiquitous environment using ontology. For collecting and analysing the context information in ubiquitous environment, we need a context-awareness system. For these reason, some context-awareness systems have been developed using ontology, but they have insufficient representation power of context information and are independent to domain. In this paper, we define the context type to improve the extensibility of context framework, and develop the context ontology adopting the defined contort type to represent or inference various context information. We define the ontology to be easily adopted the and domain. Also, we use SWRL to represent numerical formulas and Horn-Logic expression.
