Important issues emerging with the opening of the ubiquitous age are how to present ubiquitous environment and how services and access methods can be provided to users. The present research proposes a system that can provide users with useful information dynamically through intelligent multi agents in mobile environment. The system is composed of profile module, rule generation module, filtering module and service module. It was designed to find users' demands in an intelligent way based on information on users registered through the recommendation agent. We implemented an applied system and proved its performance through an experiment.

본 논문에서는 가상의 HLR agent database를 이용해서 다양한 CM을 가지는 단말들에 대해 적용할 수 있는 위치관리 기법을 제안한다. 기존에 제안된 방법들은 단말의 CMR을 특정범위로 제한하고 있다. 표적으로 AS(Anchor Strategy)는 CMR이 낮을 경우 위치등록 용을, caching은 CMR이 높을 경우 호 설정 비용을 줄이는 기법이다. 그러나 현실적으로는 단말의 이동과 호 수신 패턴은 일정치 않다. 기존 기법과 본 논문에서 제안하는 기법간에 성능평가를 위해 다양한 CMR을 가지는 단말들에 대한 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과, 제안기법은 데이터베이스 접근비용이 다소 증가하지만 전체적으로 15%~20%의 성능향상을 가져올 수 있었다.

Mobile node has to register its current location to Home Agent when it moves to another network while away from home. However, the registration procedure cannot be completed successfully when Home Agent is protected by the VPN gateway which guards MN's home network and discards the unauthorized packets incoming from outside as a lack of security association(SA) between the Care-of address and security policy of the home network so that the binding registration message without SA is discarded smoothly by the VPN gateway. This paper presents the authentication and key exchange scheme using the AAA infrastructure for a user in Internet to access the home network behind the VPN gateway. By defining the role of authentication and tunnel processing for each agent or relay entity, this paper presents the procedure to register the current location to its Home Agent with secure manner. Performance result shows cost improvement up to 40% comparing with existing scheme in terms of the packet loss cost, the property of mobility and traffic.

In this paper, a home network access agent, which controls and monitors networked appliances at home using various terminals regardless of user's location, is designed and implemented. The proposed access agent integrates wire and wireless network on a home gateway (or home server) and is accessed with consistent messages using various terminals such as a web terminal, a PDA and a cellular phone. Also, in order to verify the operation and availability of the agent, a user interface for the various terminals is designed and a home network testbed which is accessed and controlled by the terminals is implemented.

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.

무선 네트워크를 통해 인터넷에 접속하는 사용자들이 늘어나면서 이동 호스트들에게 무선 서비스를 제공하는 HA(home agent)나 FA(foreign agent)의 부하 또한 증가하고 있다. 특히 지역적 등록방법(regional registration)에서처럼 하나의 GFA(gateway foreien agent)가 도메인내의 모든 이동 호스트들을 담당할 경우 부하의 집중으로 인해 혼잡이나 지연 등의 문제가 발생하게 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 이 논문에서는 모든 FA들이 GFA의 기능을 가지는 분산된 네트워크 환경을 제안하고 이러한 환경에서 signaling 비용을 미리 계산하여 비용이 적은 쪽으로 위치등록을 수행함으로써 전체 signaling 비용을 줄이는 새로운 위치 관리 방법을 제안한다. 그리고 제안하는 방법이 효율적임을 증명하기 위해 signaling 비용 계산을 위한 비용함수를 제시하고 성능 평가를 통해 제안하는 방법이 유저의 이동 특성과 네트워크 환경에 따라 전체 signaling 비용을 줄이는 것을 보여준다.

High temperature furnace such as Steam power plant and incinerator contribute considerable part of NOx generation and face urgent demand of De-NOx system. Reducing agents are necessary to use De-NOx system. In this study mixing caused by direct injection of reducing agent solution spray into flue gas duct was measured. Carbonated water was used as tracer and simulated agent because ammonia as a reducing agent is not proper to experiment. Mixing and evaporation must occur simultaneously and quickly enough to achieve desirable efficiency. To achieve that, the angle of attack of static mixer and the location is simulated and $CO_2$ concentration is measured.

In this paper, we design an ubiquitous-type shopping mall using RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) technology and a location analysis system which can locate customers in real time at off-line shopping malls as a way to provide any services to customers, based on the results of environmental analysis data. We also suggest an intelligent agent system which can provide a personalized information in time.

In this paper, we propose a collaboration method of diverse agents each others in multi-agent model and describe a node migration algorithm of Mobile-Agent (MA) using by the metadata of Naming-Agent (NA). Collaboration work of multi-agent assures stability of agent system and provides reliability of information retrieval on the distributed environment. NA, an important part of multi-agent, identifies each agents and series the unique name of each agents, and each agent references the specified object using by its name. Also, NA integrates and manages naming service by agents classification such as Client-Push-Agent (CPA), Server-Push-Agent (SPA), and System-Monitoring-Agent (SMA) based on its characteristic. And, NA provides the location list of mobile nodes to specified MA. Therefore, when MA does move through the nodes, it is needed to improve the efficiency of node migration by specified priority according to hit_count, hit_ratio, node processing and network traffic time. Therefore, in this paper, for the integrated naming service, we design Naming Agent and show the structure of metadata which constructed with fields such as hit_count, hit_ratio, total_count of documents, and so on. And, this paper presents the flow of creation and updating of metadata and the method of node migration with hit_count through the collaboration of multi-agent.

Mobile IP [9] was introduced to help the mobile user to be contacted with a single IP address even though the point-of-access changes. However, mobile IP creates the so-called 'triangle routing' which makes the delays for data packets longer, as well as creating unnecessary traffic at the home network of the mobile user. To overcome this, Route Optimization (RO) for mobile IP [1] was proposed, which eliminated the triangle routing phenomenon. But [l] requires that the network protocol stack of all existing hosts to change. Privacy is also another matter to be considered. This paper introduces a scheme called Peer Agent scheme to implement RO for mobile IP without requiring existing hosts to change. Method to preserve location privacy while still enabling RO is also considered.
