Existing e-learning systems not only require complex admission processes but also do not give stepwise education methods according to individual learners' characteristic. These circumstances cause learners to lose educational interest so that their educational efficiency decreases. In particular, the present e-learning systems do not provide educational approaches suitable for infant and elementary children. Under this system, the e-learning education for children does not proceed completely without guardians. To solve this problem, we design and implement an English e-learning system for elementary children based on friendly and comfortable user interfaces. For children, the proposed system reflects their age and individual interesting per each e-learning stage. This system supports both the Web application platform and smart phone application platform for various client requirements. The proposed system manages 3 classes as English learning content. Learners can experience their own English e-learning course in each class, which is compiled by current educational ability. In addition to the general functions in e-learning system, the proposed system develops content buffering algorithm to reduce data traffic in server.

This paper proposes the Global Clipboard System and presents a preliminary study on it. The clipboard is a temporary storage used to copy and paste some contents between application programs in Windows Operating System. The proposed Global Clipboard is a contents delivery system that extends the concept of the existing local clipboard to Internet. The Global Clipboard System operates in two steps. An application user can upload selected contents to the Global Clipboard by typing consecutive keys of Ctrl-C and Ctrl-Shift-C easily. And other users can download and utilize the contents from the Global Clipboard by typing Ctrl-Shift-V and Ctrl-V keys consecutively. The proposed Global Clipboard can deal almost data like simple texts, screen capture images, files, and directories. In this paper, we developed a global clipboard server, a Windows application, and an Android application. We have conducted experiments about functions of the Global Clipboard and also compared delay times between 4 applications such as e-mail, Kakao, Google Drive, and the Global Clipboard. The results of the evaluation show that the time delay spending in sending and receiving contents is shortest when the Global Clipboard is used.

To support asynchronous collaboration among remote users, collaborative applications provide collaboration services and environment through virtual workspaces. In general, collaborative applications support collaboration based on desktop-based personal computers, using the features such as resource sharing or asynchronous communication among users. Unfortunately, since those applications mainly run on personal computers, they do not easily support collaborative works in various places. In this paper, we describe the development of smartphone collaborative application which provides effective collaboration facilities like resource sharing through various types of workspaces or group communication, communicating with a WebDAV-based collaboration server. The developed application provides users with high accessibility through multi-touch/touch-slide based user-interfaces in mobile environment. To support effective communication with a collaboration server, we also present a WebDAV-based collaboration library using a collaboration protocol designed to analyze easily the responses from the collaboration server.

MDD is suitable to satisfy constraints of development of mobile applications. So, there are various studies about applying MDD to the developments of mobile application but systematic development methods about UML profile for PIM/PSM of mobile applications and model transformation techniques are needed. This paper suggests that a development technique about UML profile for PIM/PSM of mobile applications and a model transformation techniques with the profiles. We classify stereotypes by the characteristics of mobile application to compose profiles and suggest development guidelines of profiles for PIM/PSM. On the suggested model transformation process, the PIM with the profiles is transformed to the intial PSM with the mapping rules and the PSM is transformed to the refined PSM with templates which reflected detailed information of a mobile platform. We developed a location based service mobile application with the suggested techniques on the Android platform and compared with other techniques to validate usefulness of the suggested techniques.
