  • One of the big concerns in e-society is privacy issue. In special, in developing robust ubiquitous smart space and corresponding services, user profile and preference are collected by the service providers. Privacy issue would be more critical in context-aware services simply because most of the context data themselves are private information: user's current location, current schedule, friends nearby and even her/his health data. To realize the potential of ubiquitous smart space, the systems embedded in the space should corporate personal privacy preferences. When the users invoke a set of services, they are asked to allow the service providers or smart space to make use of personal information which is related to privacy concerns. For this reason, the users unhappily provide the personal information or even deny to get served. On the other side, service provider needs personal information as rich as possible with minimal personal information to discern royal and trustworthy customers and those who are not. It would be desirable to enlarge the allowable personal information complying with the service provider's request, whereas minimizing service provider's requiring personal information which is not allowed to be submitted and user's submitting information which is of no value to the service provider. In special, if any personal information required by the service provider is not allowed, service will not be provided to the user. P3P (Platform for Privacy Preferences) has been regarded as one of the promising alternatives to preserve the personal information in the course of electronic transactions. However, P3P mainly focuses on preserving the buyers' personal information. From time to time, the service provider's business data should be protected from the unintended usage from the buyers. Moreover, even though the user's privacy preference could depend on the context happened to the user, legacy P3P does not handle the contextual change of privacy preferences. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to propose a mutual P3P-based negotiation mechanism. To do so, service provider's privacy concern is considered as well as the users'. User's privacy policy on the service provider's information also should be informed to the service providers before the service begins. Second, privacy policy is contextually designed according to the user's current context because the nomadic user's privacy concern structure may be altered contextually. Hence, the methodology includes mutual privacy policy and personalization. Overall framework of the mechanism and new code of ethics is described in section 2. Pervasive platform for mutual P3P considers user type and context field, which involves current activity, location, social context, objects nearby and physical environments. Our mutual P3P includes the privacy preference not only for the buyers but also the sellers, that is, service providers. Negotiation methodology for mutual P3P is proposed in section 3. Based on the fact that privacy concern occurs when there are needs for information access and at the same time those for information hiding. Our mechanism was implemented based on an actual shopping mall to increase the feasibility of the idea proposed in this paper. A shopping service is assumed as a context-aware service, and data groups for the service are enumerated. The privacy policy for each data group is represented as APPEL format. To examine the performance of the example service, in section 4, simulation approach is adopted in this paper. For the simulation, five data elements are considered: $\cdot$ UserID $\cdot$ User preference $\cdot$ Phone number $\cdot$ Home address $\cdot$ Product information $\cdot$ Service profile. For the negotiation, reputation is selected as a strategic value. Then the following cases are compared: $\cdot$ Legacy P3P is considered $\cdot$ Mutual P3P is considered without strategic value $\cdot$ Mutual P3P is considered with strategic value. The simulation results show that mutual P3P outperforms legacy P3P. Moreover, we could conclude that when mutual P3P is considered with strategic value, performance was better than that of mutual P3P is considered without strategic value in terms of service safety.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • As RFID/USN technology is used in the latest industry trend, the information analysis paradigm shifts to intelligence service environment. The intelligent service includes autonomic operation, which select activity by defining itself to the status of industry facilities. Furthermore, information analysis based on IT used to frequently data mining for detecting the meaning information and deriving new pattern. This paper suggest self-classifying of context-aware by applying data mining in gas facilities for serving the intelligent gas safety management. We modify data algorithm for fitting the domain of gas safety, construct context-aware model by using the proposed algorithm, and demonstrate our method. As the accuracy of our model is improved over 90%, the our approach can apply to intelligent gas safety management based on RFID/USN environments.

  • Mobile Augmented Reality (mobile AR), as one of the most prospective mobile applications, intends to provide richer experiences by annotating tags or virtual objects over the scene observed through camera embedded in a handheld device like smartphone or pad. In this paper, we analyzed the current status of the art of mobile AR and proposed a novel Points of Interest (POIs) data model based on ontology to provide context-aware information retrievals on lots of POIs data. Proposed ontology was expanded from the standard POIs data model of W3C POIs Working Group and established using OWL (Web Ontology Language) and Protege. We also proposed a context-aware mobile AR platform which can resolve three distinguished issues in current platforms : interoperability problem of POI tags, POIs data retrieval issue, and context-aware service issue.

  • 협업 환경의 지능화는 협업 환경 자체와 구성원의 실시간 정보에 기반한 최적의 서비스를 제공하려는 시도에 서 시작한다고 할 수 있다. 현재까지는 해당 정보의 수집을 위해 여러 종류의 센서와 장비를 이용하는 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 기술을 도입해 왔으며 대표적으로 온도, 조명, 시간, 구성원의 동작, 표정, 목소리, 위치 등의 정보를 수집하여 활용하였다. 그러나 협업 활동은 구성원간의 사회적 관계를 내포하고 있으므로, 이들 사이에서 정의되어지는 관계나 역할을 충분히 고려하여야 협업 환경을 위한 최적의 서비스가 제공될 수 있으며, 이를 위해서는 여러 개의 센서와 장비를 이용하여 수집된 정보와 구성원 간의 관계 및 역할 정보를 통합하는 것이 필요하다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 위의 통합된 정보를 회의 진행에 필요한 컨텍스트로 활용하여 필터링 된 협업 서비스를 설계하고, 실제 지능형 협업 시스템의 인터랙티브 디스플레이 서비스에 이를 적용 및 구현한 예를 보여준다.

  • Pervasive computing is characterized by a key characteristic that affects the operating environment of services and users. It places more emphasis on dynamic environments where available resources continuously vary without prior knowledge of their availability, while in static environments the services provided to users are determined in advance. At the same time, Cloud computing paradigm introduced flexibility of use according to the user's profile and needs. In this paper, we aimed to provide Context-Aware Transactional Service applications with solutions so that it can be integrated and invoked like any service in the digital ecosystem. Being able to compose is not enough, each service and application must be able to offer a well-defined behavior. This behavior must be controlled to meet the dynamicity and adaptability necessary for the new user's requirements. The motivation in this paper is to offer design patterns that will provide a maximum of automatism in order to guarantee short reaction times and minimal human intervention. Our proposal includes a cloud service model by developing a PaaS service that allows CATS adaptation. A new specification for the validation of CATS model has been also introduced using the ACTA formalism.

  • 상황인식은 지능공간의 핵심기술로 개인화 및 자동화된 서비스를 제공하는 데 있어 가장 유용한 방법 중 하나로 대두되고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 상황인식 서비스들은 실제적인 상용화로까지 이어지지 못하고 있으며 그 가장 큰 이유 중 하나로 지적되고 있는 것이 사용자의 프라이버시 염려이다. 또한 현재 제공되는 상황인식서비스의 종류 및 수준은 매우 제한적이고 한정적인 수준에 머무르고 있는데 이는 지금까지의 상황인식이 외면적이고 관찰 가능한 상황을 인지하는 데만 주력하였을 뿐 인간의 내면적이고 인지적인 상황은 상황정보로 고려하지 않았기 때문이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 개인의 내면적인 정보인 프라이버시 염려 수준을 또 하나의 상황정보의 형태로 예측할 수 있는 방법론을 제안하고자 한다. 이를 위해 개인에게 가해지는 다양한 외부 자극 정보를 기본 상황정보로 하여 이미 검증된 프라이버시 염려 관련 사회심리학 모델베이스를 통해 특정 서비스에 대한 사용자의 프라이버시 염려 수준을 예측하는 접근법을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 방법론의 타당성 및 실현 가능성을 검증하기 위해 상황인식으로 얻어진 자료 및 수집된 프라이버시 염려 관련 사회심리학 모델들을 가지고 예측한 프라이버시 염려 정도와 실제 조사한 프라이버시 염려 수준을 통계적 방법으로 비교하였다.
