Currently workflows in business processes and distributed computing environments have provided service automation by connecting many tasks with rules and/or orderings. The services in ubiquitous computing environments have to automatically provide users with adaptive services according to dynamically changing contort information, which is obtained from both the users and their environment. To adapt these workflows to ubiquitous computing, we must specify the situation information on the transition conditions. In this paper, we propose uWDL, Ubiquitous Workflow Description Language, based on Web Services to use the situation information on the transition constraints of workflow's services. uWDL can select adaptive services according to contexts, profiles, and events information, which are situation information. Furthermore, we verified the execution of a scenario document described with uWDL using the parser and the context handler for uWDL. The scenario developers can use the uWDL scenario editor for a design of scenarios, and they can easily specify the transition condition of the services according the situation information of ubiquitous environments using the uWDL.

Ubiquitous Smart pace connects many kinds of smart object to satisfy user's demands. Thus, not only excessive loads but also resource collisions occur among service objects while configurating services to fulfill the user's request. After all, as malfunction occurs between service objects, it offers wrong service to user or does not respond to service request. To solve these problems, Ubiquitous Smart Space is observed by monitoring system of function, performance, and status of objects. Therefore, optimized function, performance and duality of service of smart space service for user should be improved by recording log and analyzing recorded the log. In this paper, we suggest a novel monitoring system to optimize performance according to pattern of diverse services and execute self-recovery on system down and malfunction.

Abilities of sensing and communication are vested in private things of actual space, therefore, Ubiquitous Computing which is offered various services with human approach will be common in the future society. For the realization of this Ubiquitous Service requires some technique such as situations of environment and recognition of locations by the Sensor Network, then sensor data have to be transferred to an application service after processes. However, there are some hindrances for communication between an application service and sensor data, these are that accessibility of data usefulness and problems of Platform and protocol in each sensors. In this paper, suggest a reference model that is independent from platform and implementation language, for USN application service with using standardized protocol.

As a subjective recognition effect, human's emotion has impulsive characteristic and it expresses intentions and needs unconsciously. These are pregnant with information of the context about the ubiquitous computing environment or intelligent robot systems users. Such indicators which can aware the user's emotion are facial image, voice signal, biological signal spectrum and so on. In this paper, we generate the each result of facial and voice emotion recognition by using facial image and voice for the increasing convenience and efficiency of the emotion recognition. Also, we extract the feature which is the best fit information based on image and sound to upgrade emotion recognition rate and implement Multi-Modal Emotion recognition system based on feature fusion. Eventually, we propose the possibility of the ubiquitous computing service reasoning method based on Bayesian Network and ubiquitous context scenario in the ubiquitous computing environment by using result of emotion recognition.

Context aware computing is an emerging paradigm to achieve ubiquitous computing environments by enabling computer systems to understand their situational contexts. A context aware system uses context to provide relevant information and services to the user depending on the user's task. In this paper, we propose an ontology based context aware modeling methodology that transmits low level contexts acquired by directly accessing various sensors in the physical environments to high level contexts. With these high level contexts, context aware application can provides proactive and intelligent services using ECA (Event Condition Action) rules. We implemented a presentation service in smart office environment.

The ubiquitous environment is to support people in their everyday life in an inconspicuous and unobtrusive way. This environment requires information such as the person, his/her preferences, and habits which is 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. Our system architecture is divided into 4 domain models such as context awareness, presentation, interface and inference domain. Each domain model can perform some predefined tasks independently. And we suggest the hybrid algorithm combined with fuzzy and Bayesian method in order to reason what is the suitable information for user. We show the possibility for the real application through applying the system to the TGA (Tour Guide Assistant) for Kyoungju historical site.

Traditional access control models like role-based access control model are insufficient in security needs in ubiquitous computing environment because they take no thought of access control based on user's context or environment condition. In these days, although researches on context-aware access control using user's context or environment conditions based on role-based access control are emerged, they are on the primary stage. We present context definitions md an access control model to provide more flexible and dynamic context-aware access control based on role-based access control. Specially, we describe the conflict problems occurred in the middle of making an access decision. After classifying the conflict problems, we show some resolutions to solve them. In conclusion, we will lay the foundations of the development of security policy and model assuring right user of right object(or resource) and application service through pre-defined context and context classification in ubiquitous computing environments. Beyond the simplicity of access to objects by authorized users, we assure that user can access to the object, resource, or service anywhere and anytime according to right context.

As context aware service supports a process of context acquisition and reasoning, there are many studies to facilitate the implementation of context aware service. However, these studies have not supported efficiently a user or service mobility that should be supported necessarily in ubiquitous computing environment. Therefore, this study proposes a dynamic context aware service model which supports a dynamic management of context information, service retrieval and composition for interactions between services, and service mobility. Then we design a middleware based on this model and implement the middleware. As the middleware is implemented on the OSGi framework. it can have an interoperability between the devices such as computers, PDA, home appliances, and sensors, because of using the standard interface technologies like UPnP. Jini and so on.

A URC, which is a Ubiquitous Robot Companion, provides services to users in ubiquitous computing environments and has advantage of simplifying robot's hardware and software by distributing the complicated functionality of robots to other system. In this paper, we propose SOWL, which is a software architecture for URC robots and a mixed word of SOMAR and CAWL. SOWL keeps the advantages of URC and it also has the loosely-coupled characteristics. Moreover it makes it easy to develop of URC robot software. The proposed architecture is composed of 4 layers: device software, robot software, robot application, and end user layer. Developers of the each layer is able to build software suitable for their requirements by combining software modules in the lower layer. SOWL consists of SOMAR and CAWL engine. SOMAR, which is a middleware for the execution of device software and robot software, is based on service-oriented architecture(SOA) for robot software. CAWL engine is a system to process CAWL which is a context-aware workflow language. SOWL is able to provide a layered architecture for the execution of a robot software. It also makes it possible for developers of the each layer to build module-based robot software.
