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.

Ubiquitous computing(UC) is an emerging paradigm. Its arrival as a mainstream is expected to trigger innovative UC-driven business models (UCBMs). Currently, there is no Parsimonious methodology to analyze and provide diagnostics for UCBMs. With this research, we propose a analytical architecture that enables the assessment of an UCBM in its structural strengths and weaknesses. With value logic as the cornerstone, the architecture is composed of value actors, value assets, value context, business value Propositions, customer value propositions, value creation logics, and value assumptions. Dimensional variables are initially Identified based on the review of business model literature. Then, their significance is empirically examined through 14 UCBM scenarios, and variables that are expected to Play an important role in the UCBM assessment are decided. Finally, by analyzing the scenarios in terms of the dimensional variables, we attempted to summarize general characteristics of emerging UCBMs.

Privacy is one of the most important and difficult research issues in ubiquitous computing. It is qualitative rather than quantitative. Privacy preserving mainly relies on policy based rules of the system, and users cannot adjust their privacy disclosure rules dynamically based on their wishes. To make users understand and control their privacy measurement, we present a scheme to quantize the personal privacy. We aim to configure the person's privacy based on the numerical privacy level which can be dynamically adjusted. Instead of using the traditional simple rule engine, we implement this scheme in a complex way. In addition, we design the scenario to explain the implementation of our scheme. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to assess personal privacy numerically to achieve precision privacy computing. The privacy measurement and disclosure model will be refined in the future work.

Ubiquitous environment can be supported by various service on networked appliance, sensors and devices. In home network and telematics, open service gateway is widely used for ubiquitous environment and Present environment for service installation, deployment and execution. Service gateway is a middle layer which is located between service and various devices in ubiquitous environment and offers a unique opportunity for pervasive computing as a potential framework for achieving interoperability between various sensors, home appliances. and networked devices. In ubiquitous environments, these services must support the mobility among service gateway because users and devices has a mobility characteristic. However the OSGi framework supports only a remote installation of a bundle, which is a unit that installs and deploys services. This paper develops a system that can manage bundles for supporting this dynamic bundle's mobility between service gateway. This system we are proposing implements a bundle form which can perform in an OSGi framework as well as manage the mobile services. As a result, mobility in a ubiquitous computing environment will be supported more efficiently.

본 논문은 환경의 변화에 적응하여 지속적으로 서비스들의 협업을 지원하기 위한 통합 시스템으로 커뮤니티 관리 시스템을 제안한다. 이를 위해 커뮤니티라는 메타포를 사용하여 추상화된 레벨로 협업 모델을 정의하고 이를 런타임에 해석하여 물리적 환경의 실질적인 서비스들간의 실행 모델로 전환한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 시스템은 서비스들의 협업과 사용자의 인터랙션을 관리하는 커뮤니티 매니저(CM)와 서비스들의 협업모델을 실행 환경으로 매핑시키는 커뮤니티 프레임워크(CF) 그리고 CM 과 CF 에게 통합된 컨텍스트를 제공해 주는 시츄에이션 매니저(SM)로 구성되어 있다. 이 시스템에서 추상화된 협업 모델은 런타임에 물리적 공간으로 매핑되므로, 동적으로 실행 환경과 사용자의 특성을 인식하고 그에 맞는 협업 목표와 협업 대상을 변경시켜 실행 환경에 맞게 재구성 되는 것이 가능하다. 따라서 제안된 시스템을 통해 특정 환경에 고유하게 구축되던 시스템의 개발 비용에 대한 부담을 절감시키는 효과를 가져올 것으로 기대된다.

In ubiquitous computing, invisible devices and software are connected to one another to provide convenient services to users [1][2]. Users hope to obtain a personalized service which is composed of customized devices among sharable devices in a ubiquitous smart space (which is called USS in this paper). However, the situations of each user are different and user preferences also are various. Although users request the same service in the same USS, the most suitable devices for composing the service are different for each user. For these user requirements, this paper proposes a device recommender system which infers and recommends customized devices for composing a user required service. The objective of this paper is the development of the systems for recommending devices through context-aware inference in peer-to-peer environments. For this goal, this paper considers the context and user preference. Also I implement a prototype system and test performance on the real ubiquitous mobile object (UMO).

Ubiquitous computing is enhancing computer use by making many computers available throughout the physical environment without being noticed to the users. To facilitate successful adoption and diffusion of ubiquitous systems, it is important to find out the factors affecting their uses. Although researches related to ubiquitous computing have been vigorously conducted from the aspect of system and service provider, there have been very few studies that focus on the user's perspective. This study attempts to find out major factors which are dedicated to the development of ubiquitous systems and services and the relationships between these factors and user satisfaction factors. This study derived the specific factors that characterize ubiquitous services, such as ubiquity, contextual offer, user affinity, privacy, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. We also considered service quality factors of ubiquitous services. Then these factors were combined with the Expectation Confirmation Theory (ECT) model and the path analysis was applied to find out the factors affecting user satisfaction and the intention to use the systems. The research findings indicate that ubiquity, contextual offer, privacy, reliability, and responsiveness affect the perceived usefulness. The perceived ease of use and confirmation were found to affect the perceived usefulness. The perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and confirmation fumed out to influence the satisfaction. It turned out that the result of this study on the relationship between the perceived usefulness and user satisfaction was identical with the findings in previous related ECT researches. We think this study makes two significant contributions to the development of ubiquitous services. First, this study provides basic implications for better ubiquitous services by considering important characteristics of ubiquitous systems as services. Second, this study also suggests important factors that need to be considered when ubiquitous service providers develop new ubiquitous services to improve user satisfaction and the intention to use the services.

Various kind of ubiquitous healthcare services have been developed and tried in patient care and health care fields. Due to technical restrictions and not enough application practices, the service systems have been developed somewhat in ad hoc way. This paper describes the requirements for ubiquitous healthcare service systems most of which need to have and presents a ubiquitous healthcare service system architecture with which various ubiquitous healthcare services can be developed. It also introduces an application system for ubiquitous benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patient care which has been developed based on the architecture.
