Construction CALS has contributed much to the improvement of construction management. Recently, the ubiquitous technology brings another opportunities for expanding tile business horizon in construction. The government policies to upgrade the information technologies in Korean offer an environment in which practical application of ubiquitous becomes more practical. To maintain the level of competitiveness, construction companies need to pay attention to the chance of ubiquitous technologies. This paper introduces the research movement in the construction industry in an attempt to find out the feasibility of ubiquitous technologies such as RFID, USN, etc. The construction process, which is executed in the natural environment, will benefit from the state-of-are information technologies in terms of improved communication interface.

Ubiquitous technology is believed to be the next trend following the 3rd wave by information technology to revolutionize the modern society. Ubiquitous construction which is the convergence of ubiquitous technology and construction technology is the blue ocean area for creating new values in the construction industry and therefore requires pro-active participation from construction companies. Many expect that the ubiquitous society would get started in the year of 2008 and the year 2015 be the time of maturity. The importation of 100 U-Cities to foreign countries would be a new driving force for the growth of our economy and construction industry.

The ubiquitous computing environment is widely expanded in almost all industries such as transportation. physical distribution, manufacturing, communication, tourist industry, financial business, and so on. But the construction industry is not well applied yet. Thus this study investigate the ubiquitous computing environment and propose a way for applying this technology to the construction industry. To achieve this aim, this study consider about a instrumentation management of retaining wall system in earthmoving operations, and suggest the ubiquitous system configuration to measure the variance of retaining wall. Through this system, the efficiency of the instrumentation management of retaining wall will be improved.

Ubiquitous city is convergence of metro city construction and intellectual technology. The physical space of metrocity will be progressively summarized, integrated and converged in the future. Information technology developed into ubiquitous IT past through computerization and telecommunication. The purpose of this paper is to research ubiquitous city construction according to recently promulgated law.

A ubiquitous environment in construction requires integrating hardware and software systems. Currently the Construction System Integration Lab (CSIL) at Pusan National University is currently studying the application of ubiquitous technology for better communication in the construction process. In this paper, a pilot of Ubiquitous Concrete Pour System (u-CPS) has been presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of data exchange in the concrete pour process. The u-CPS environment takes advantage of the RFID technology for collecting construction data. The pilot can automatically generate the data for concrete pour work such as departure time, arrival time, concrete pour time. Construction managers can keep track of the progress of concrete pour work using the information. A case study was done for a building construction using the pilot system, the result of which demonstrated that the RFID-base system can help improve the effectiveness of data communication during the concrete pour process.

Recently, under recognition that ubiquitous computing is core paradigm to build up a state of new knowledge information and to strengthen the competitiveness of domestic information industry, governments, enterprises, and institutes in United States, Europe, and Japan devote all their energies to develop technologies concerned. In Korea, the government presents ubiquitous technologies as a main part of the next generation growth industry, and also other governmental agencies and enterprises concentrate their energies on early fruition of ubiquitous society. Accordingly, as a foundation research to apply ubiquitous environment which emerged as a next generation high-end telecommunication technology effectively to construction field, this paper will discuss about element technologies to realize changing aspects of construction process under ubiquitous environment and information services by stages.

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.

U-City related researches and development have been actively conducted in Korea since 2002. According to the Act on Ubiquitous City Construction, "U-City" is defined as "the city to provide ubiquitous service anytime anywhere through the existing ubiquitous backbone systems and ubiquitous technologies, ultimately for the purpose of improving urban competitiveness and quality of life. This research explains the plan to develop collective management technology for integrated operation of U-Space which makes up U-City. Specifically, this report is intended to suggest basic approach of identifying collective management elements of each U-Space type, developing integrated management system and creating interface module to link the system with urban integrated operation center.

The current status of developing ubiquitous campus is needed to enhance the part of facility management because the development of the campus is focused on education and administration parts. This study is a basic research for facility management of the campus. And this study is to contribute to make a plan for ubiquitous facility management of the campus. The ubiquitous campus can not be developed by only information technology, it should be developed in phases, such as law, administration, etc., and needed long-term commitment. This study will make a basic data for this phase of developing the ubiquitous campus.

At the present, all resources on ubiquitous are smart and networking. it deduces the environment that any service could be provided without any restriction of time and space and maximizes life quality and creation of people and industry productivity. especially, it converses and integrates all fields in the city based on Ubiquitous computing, IT. Furthermore, the study on the technology concerned with Ubiquitous is actively conducted. In this paper, we would like to look onto the types of necessary system and technology when the Ubiquitous system is applied to buildings. Besides, as analyzing necessity and expecting effect of ubiquitous system, we suggest the method to establish ubiquitous system in multi-complex buildings.
