A location-aware system, which is capable to detect a user's whereabout in a region and provide real-time location information in outdoor environment is designed and fabricated, specifically using the GPS (global positioning system) as key technology in view of its stability and high precision in outdoor environment. Experiment is conducted to test this application in campus-based environment. Once GPS receiver detects specific location which is tagged with GPS coordinates, the system provides information relevant to that context and user can operate and react accordingly. Besides, this location-aware system is able to provide user with the route in order to get to a desired place by detecting the direction that the user is moving towards from his/her initial location. The mapping data is transferred via wireless LAN to PDA carried by the user as well as to the back-end system on real-time basis. The test result is analyzed and discussed to validate the effectiveness of using GPS in implementing this system and indicates future works that could be made to improve this prototype to be implemented in other applications, such as theme park, tourist attraction spot or recreational park.

In this paper we suggest dynamic access control model based on context satisfied with requirement of u-healthcare environment through researching the role based access control model. For the dynamic security domain management, we used a distributed object group framework and context information for dynamic access control used the constructed database. We defined decision rule by knowledge reduction in decision making table, and applied this rule in our model as a rough set theory. We showed the executed results of context based dynamic security service through u-healthcare application which is based on distributed object group framework. As a result, our dynamic access control model provides an appropriate security service according to security domain, more flexible access control in u-healthcare environment.

In this paper, we outline the research issues that we are pursuing towards building of location aware environments for mainly ubiquitous healthcare applications. Such location aware application can provide what is happening in this space. To locate an object, such as patient or elderly person, the active ceiling-mounted reference beacons were placed throughout the building. Reference beacons periodically publish location information on RF and ultrasonic signals to allow application running on mobile or static nodes to study and determine their physical location. Once object-carried passive listener receives the information, it subsequently determines it's location from reference beacons. The cost of the system was reduced while the accuracy in our experiments was fairly good and fine grained between 7 and 12 cm for location awareness in indoor environments by using only the sensor nodes and wireless sensor network technology. Passive architecture used here provides the security of the user privacy while at the server the privacy was secured by providing the authentication using Geopriv approach. This information from sensor nodes is further forwarded to base station where further computation is performed to determine the current position of object.

In this paper, we present an effective sound classification system for recognizing the real-time context of a smartphone user. Our system avoids unnecessary consumption of limited computational resource by filtering both silence and white noise out of input sound data in the pre-processing step. It also improves the classification performance on low energy-level sounds by amplifying them as pre-processing. Moreover, for efficient learning and application of HMM classification models, our system executes the dimension reduction and discretization on the feature vectors through k-means clustering. We collected a large amount of 8 different type sound data from daily life in a university research building and then conducted experiments using them. Through these experiments, our system showed high classification performance.

EDS is a typical convergence service performing convergence between functions owned by multiple SPs. EDS provides users with the relevant information and the communication by the various personal conditional environment. An alternative terminology for events for net- work related applications is 'triggers'-these are assumed to be included in the present description. Events could be defined as any activities which occur within a service avail ability, signals. Events can be managed, for example, as part of a context-aware application. EDS carry out a procedure for processing user's requested information about mobil network-based entities, such as the combination with various applications, such as a LBS (Location Based Service) and area information. In AS (Application Service) network environments, the user has his customized EDS in the network, the EDS automatically connects the appropriate Terminals consistent with a user profile. EDS can also send the collected information to other requesting users by way of event information and using the procedures of combination with other services. The user can record/retrieve the user-related information to from the information base through EDS.

As personal devices and pervasive technologies for interacting with networked objects continue to proliferate, there is an unprecedented world of scattered pieces of contextualized information available. However, the explosive growth and variety of information ironically lead users and service providers to make poor decision. In this situation, recommender systems may be a valuable alternative for dealing with these information overload. But they failed to utilize various types of contextual information. In this study, we suggest a methodology for context-aware recommender systems based on the concept of contextual boundary. First, as we suggest contextual boundary-based profiling which reflects contextual data with proper interpretation and structure, we attempt to solve complexity problem in context-aware recommender systems. Second, in neighbor formation with contextual information, our methodology can be expected to solve sparsity and cold-start problem in traditional recommender systems. Finally, we suggest a methodology about context support score-based recommendation generation. Consequently, our methodology can be first step for expanding application of researches on recommender systems. Moreover, as we suggest a flexible model with consideration of new technological development, it will show high performance regardless of their domains. Therefore, we expect that marketers or service providers can easily adopt according to their technical support.

The existing geofences provide only context-awareness service for entering or leaving the set region when a user sets a virtual region for his/her PoI(Point of Interest). Applying the mobile-geofence technology to the connected car technology, which is attracting attention as a next generation technology, it is possible to provide application service without additional infrastructure construction cost However, to do this, we need to expand and improve the functions of traditional geofence. In this paper, we propose and implement a flexible mobile-geofence in which the radii of each geofence applied to vehicles is changed according to context-aware in order to support connected cars technology based on the previously studied mobile three-dimensional geofence system. The proposed flexible mobile-geofence shows experimentally that the region of the geofence is changed according to context-aware of itself and its surroundings after applying a flexible decision algorithm by the flexible factor analysis. In the future, we are expected that the flexible mobile-geofence proposed in this paper will be applied not only to connected-cars technology but also to the application technology of V2X(Vehicle to Everything) for safe and efficient vehicle operation.

본 논문에서는 맥락 인식 (context-aware) 애플리케이션 개발에 있어서 사용자의 맥락 정보를 보다 효과적으로 처리할 수 있는 사용자 중심의 맥락 모델을 제안한다. 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 개념의 확산과 함께 맥락 인식 애플리케이션들에 관한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 하지만, 맥락에 대한 정의는 여전히 모호하며, 애플리케이션들 마다 서로 다른 형태의 맥락을 활용하고 있기 때문에, 맥락에 대한 보다 구체적인 정의와 다양한 애플리케이션에 활용 가능한 형태의 맥락 모델이 필요하다. 제안된 사용자 중심의 맥락 모델에서는 사용자가 애플리케이션과 상호작용할 때 사용자의 직접적인 명령을 제외한 사용자와 관련된 정보를 맥락으로 정의한다. 또한, 제안된 사용자 중심의 맥락은 5W1H 형태로 구조화한 맥락요소 (ContextElement), 맥락 요소들을 편리하게 처리할 수 있는 연산자들을 포함하는 맥락 (Context), 그리고 단편적인 맥락 정보뿐만 아니라 기존의 맥락 정보까지도 활용할 수 있는 맥락메모리 (ContextMemory)로 구성된다. 특히, 다양한 센서들로부터 획득된 정보를 맥락 모델의 인터페이스를 통해서 맥락 인식 애플리케이션에서 활용할 수 있기 때문에, 서로 다른 맥락 인식 애플리케이션들을 개발함에 있어서도 동일한 맥락 모델을 사용할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 제안된 맥락 모델의 유용함을 보이기 위해서, 센서로부터 획득된 맥락 정보를 처리하는데 소요되는 시간을 측정하는 실험을 하였다. 따라서 제안된 사용자 중심의 맥락 모델은 사용자와 맥락 인식 애플리케이션간 자연스러운 상호작용을 지원할 것으로 기대된다.) kcal/mol의 생성활성화 에너지 감을 나타내었고, TGA로부터의 분해활성화 에너지는 각각 31.94, 30.84, 24.16 kcal/mol의 값을 나타내었다.로 감소되었다(35.2% vs. 77.4%; p<0.01). 실험 2에서 다양한 정자 농도에 의한 정자 침투율과 정상 수정률을 바탕으로 판단했을 때 $4.6{\times}10^6/ml$의 정자 농도가 다른 정자 농도에 비해 난구 세포부착 난자의 체외 수정에 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 체외 수정과정에서 난구 세포 부착된 상태로 수정된 난자는 나화 난자에 비해 유의적으로(p<0.05) 높은 분할률(48.8% vs. 58.9%), 배반포 형성률(11.0% vs. 22.8%)과 배반포 세포수$(22{\pm}2\;vs.\;29{\pm}2)$를 나타내었다. 본 연구의 결과로부터 돼지의 체외 수정과정에서 난구 세포의 존재는 정자 침투를 저해하지만 분할률, 배반포 형성률 및 배반포의 세포수를 증가시키는 것으로 사료된다.수의 유출입 지점에 온도센서를 부착하여 냉각수의 온도를 측정하고 냉각수의 공급량과 대기의 온도 등을 측정하여 대사열의 발생을 추정할 수 있었다. 동시에 이를 이용하여 유가배양시 기질을 공급하는 공정변수로 사용하였다 [8]. 생물학적인 폐수처리장치인 활성 슬러지법에서 미생물의 활성을 측정하는 방법은 아직 그다지 개발되어있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 슬러지의 주 구성원이 미생물인 점에 착안하여 침전시 슬러지층과 상등액의 온도차를 측정하여 대사열량의 발생량을 측정하고 슬러지의 활성을 측정할 수 있는 방법을 개발하였다.enin과

The emergence of ubiquitous autonomic computing and network environment will change the service architecture information system which will be a new application area in SCM/logistics systems. In this study we surveyed the technical trend map of ubiquitous and its application in SCM/logistics support system design. We described the evolutional model of ubiquitous computing community for SCM/logistics system. It is consisted of three view points; self-growing, autonomic, and context-aware, which will allow the decision makers to be benefited from web and mobile technology and are useful for proactive SCM/logistics support system. Finally, we suggested a cooperative research planning for the development ubiquitous system between the government research center, university, and industry research activities.
