Business organizations are asked to create new business models utilizing current technological innovations such as ubiquitous computing technology for developing new domains of business to obtain a competitive advantage and achieve a sustainable development. This study was focused on the processes for developing new and practical business models. The purpose of this study was to propose ubiquitous sport business modeling processes from the modeling framework. In particular, this study focused on developing new, pragmatic, and effective sport business models, and this new type of business is defined as 'u-sport.' For design the business model, extensive literature reviews and case studies were conducted for benchmarking the cases and expert group review was conducted for developing u-sport business model framework. The suggested business modeling processes in this study were consisted of four phases; 1) organization strategy level setting phase, 2) business strategy level setting phase, 3) business structure level setting phase, and 4) service level setting phase. The modeling processes were verified to adapt ubiquitous sport business. This designing and modeling process is expected to play a significant role on enhancing the technology-based business environments as the process mainly focuses on the service and consumer oriented approach rather than technology and suppliers oriented approach. In conclusion, establishing sport business models by adapting the service modeling process will deliver an exponential growth and development of future ubiquitous based industry.

Many process modeling techniques, such as Petri-net, UML Activity Diagram, and EPC, are used to design process models. In this paper, we analyze ubiquitous process design based on workflow patterns. In particular, we focus on process design using active rules that have the form of Event-Condition-Action, and deal with the WS-ECA language, which was devised for ubiquitous web services coordination. We first check whether workflow patterns can be designed with ECA rules, and we then provide WS-ECA representations for ECA rules of the patterns. The contribution of this paper is that ECA rule-based process models were presented based on workflow patterns and they can be a guideline for ubiquitous process modeling.

U-Services(Ubiquitous Services)는 최근 성공적인 U-City의 구축에 있어서 핵심적인 요소로 주 목 받고 있다. U-City라는 개념은 현재 한 도시의 통신과 인프라의 통합 관리라는 차원에서 주로 접근되고 있는 실정이나, 궁극적으로는 한 도시의 사용자들인 시민들에게 어떠한 가치를 돌려주고, 이를 어떻게 지속 할 수 있을지에 대한 의문이 지속적으로 제기되고 있다. 도시의 사용자인 시민과 입주기관들에게 어떠한 '가치'를 제공할 수 있는지에 대하여 고민하는 과정으로써, 본 연구 에서는 소요 기술, 활용 인터페이스, 구현되는 공간, 그리고 제공하는 컨텐츠에 따라 정의할 수 있는 방법론을 제시한다. 또한, 제조업에서 주로 활용되던 QFD(Quality Function Deployment - 하나의 제품을 개발하는 과정에서 요구되는 기능이나 속성을 규정하기 위한 Analytic Hierarchy Process framework)를 도시 설계로 적용하여 SVD (Service-Value Deployment method)라는 방법론으로 제시하고 있다.

Efficient service description and modeling methodologies are essential for dynamic service composition to provide autonomous services for users in ubiquitous computing environments. In our previous research, we proposed a 'u-service' ontology which is an abstract and structured concept for device operations in ubiquitous environments. One of the problems that we faced during the design process was that there are not enough standards to analyze the effectiveness of a u-service ontology. In this paper, we propose a quality evaluation model to facilitate the design process of a uservice ontology. We extract modeling goals and evaluation indicators based on the uservice description specification. We also present quality metrics to quantify each of the design properties. The experiment result of the proposed quality model shows that we can use it to analyze the design of u-service ontology from various angles. Also, it shows that the model can provide a guideline, and offer appropriate recommendations for improvements.

Effective service description and modeling methodologies are essential for dynamic service composition to provide autonomous services for users in ubiquitous computing environments. In our previous research, we proposed a 'u-Service' as an abstract and structured concept for operations of devices in ubiquitous environments. In addition, we established the mechanism to structure u-Services as an ontology and the description specification to represent attributes of u-Services. However, it did not provide enough methods or standards to analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of the u-Service ontology in the design time. Since existing quality models for software products or computing systems cannot consider characteristics of ubiquitous services, they are not suitable for ubiquitous service ontology. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a quality evaluation model to design and modeling a good ubiquitous service ontology, based on our u-Service ontology building process. We extract modeling goals and evaluation indicators according to characteristics of ubiquitous service ontology, and establish quality metrics to quantify each quality sub-characteristics. The experiment result of the proposed quality evaluation model for u-Service ontologies which are constructed for our previous works shows that we can analyze the design of ubiquitous service ontology from various angles, and indicate recommendations for improvement.

The prototypical smart environment to support the context-aware interactions between user and ubiquitous campus environment based on multi-agent system paradigm is proposed in this paper. In this model, the dynamic Bayesian is investigated to solicit and organize agents to produce information and presentation assembly process in order to allocate the resources for an unseen task across multiple services in a dynamic environment. The user model is used to manage varying user constraints and user preferences to achieve system's goals.

Context-based access control is an emerging approach for modeling adaptive solution, making access control management more flexible and powerful. However, these strategies are inadequate for the increased flexibility and performance that ubiquitous computing environment requires because such systems can not utilize effectively all benefit from this environment. In this paper, we propose a solution based on risk to make use of many context parameters in order to provide good decisions for a safety environment. We design a new model for risk assessment in ubiquitous computing environment and use risk as a key component in decision-making process in our access control model.

It is a fact that we are yet to recognize and sense the U-City even though the business of U-City construction has been started many years ago. One of the causes is that UCity was thoughtlessly developed in the industry-centered environment for a tangible achievement, despite of need on more systematic development and organized management. Fortunately, it is expected that the most part of the situation will be solved, since "laws on the construction of the ubiquitous city" for planning, construction and management has been promulgated on March, and U-City project will be systematically promoted by the related laws from now. Therefore, intention of this study is the sustainable development of the U-City by analyzing the previous process and problems of the U-City Construction project of local governments and reengineering U-City construction project process in accordance with new laws, using the BPR methodology.

The definition of the program control is introduced on the theory of the basis of the first integrals SDE system. That definition allows constructing the program control gives opportunity to stochastic system to remain on the given dynamic variety. The program control is considered in terms of dynamically invariant for stochastic process.

U-City is the key element of the future knowledge-based society where every citizen will be benefited from the most advanced information technology. The following research reengineers the old process to define the rational and efficient process of the U-City construction project(BPR: Business Process Reengineering). In order to achieve the goal, identify and diagnose problem points, outline the improved plan, and readjust the managing system and process to propose better process. And Lastly, redefine the best efficient process by simple modeling using the UML(Unified Modeling Language). The goal of the systematic proposal is to make contributions to a base of the green growth to be the development of the Sustainable U-City.
