We introduce new type of networked robot, Ubiquitous Robotic Companion (URC), embedded with ATLAS Service-oriented architecture for enhancing the space sensing capability. URC is a network-based robotic system developed by ETRI. For years of experience in deploying service with ATLAS sensor platform for elder and people with special needs in smart houses, we need networked robots to assist elder people in their successful daily living. Recently, pervasive computing technologies reveals possibilities of networked robots in smart spaces, consist of sensors, actuators and smart devices can collaborate with the other networked robot as a mobile sensing platform, a complex and sophisticated actuator and a human interface. This paper provides our experience in designing and implementing system architecture to integrate URC robots in pervasive computing environments using the University of Florida's ATLAS service-oriented architecture. In this paper, we focus on the integrated framework architecture of URC embedded with ATLAS platform. We show how the integrated URC system is enabled to provide better services which enhance the space sensing of URC in the smart space by applying service-oriented architecture characterized as flexibility in adding or deleting service components of Ubiquitous Robotic Companion.

Finite field arithmetic has been extensively used in error correcting codes and cryptography. Low-complexity and high-speed designs for finite field arithmetic are needed to meet the demands of wider bandwidth, better security and higher portability for personal communication device. In particular, cryptosystems in GF($2^m$) usually require computing exponentiation, division, and multiplicative inverse, which are very costly operations. These operations can be performed by computing modular AB multiplications or modular $AB^2$ multiplications. To compute these time-consuming operations, using $AB^2$ multiplications is more efficient than AB multiplications. Thus, there are needs for an efficient $AB^2$ multiplier architecture. In this paper, we propose a low latency Montgomery $AB^2$ multiplier using redundant representation over GF($2^m$). The proposed $AB^2$ multiplier has less space and time complexities compared to related multipliers. As compared to the corresponding existing structures, the proposed $AB^2$ multiplier saves at least 18% area, 50% time, and 59% area-time (AT) complexity. Accordingly, it is well suited for VLSI implementation and can be easily applied as a basic component for computing complex operations over finite field, such as exponentiation, division, and multiplicative inverse.

내장형 시스템(embedded system)의 발전에 따라, 더욱 복잡하고 높은 신뢰성을 가지는 내장형 응용프로그램의 개발 필요성이 요구된다. 내장형 소프트웨어의 성능 평가 및 분석 도구는 내장형 소프트웨어 개발 속도와 신뢰성을 높이기 위한 유용한 도구이다. 개발자나 사용자는 성능 평가 결과와 로그 정보를 직관적으로 판단하기 위해 GUI 형태의 결과보고 도구(result report tool)나 뷰어(viewer)를 이용할 수 있다. 그러나 보통의 성능 평가 및 분석 도구가 이용하는 로그 데이터는 텍스트 기반의 저수준 정보이므로, 개발자의 다양한 요구에 맞는 분석 결과보고 도구 나 뷰어를 생성하기 위해서는 로그 정보에 대해 많은 분석 시간과 노력을 기울여야 한다. 본 논문은 내장형 시스템 개발자가 쉽고 편리하게 원하는 GUI 형태의 결과 분석도구를 생성할 수 있도록 하기 위한 프로파일 로그 분석 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 로그 분석 방법은 저수준의 성능 평가 로그를 분석하여 자료구조화 하는 모듈과 이것을 GUI 형태로 쉽게 변경할 수 있는 API 수준의 함수를 제공한다. 제안하는 로그 분석 방법에 의한 API를 통해 개발자나 사용자는 자신의 취향에 맞는 GUI 형태의 결과 분석 도구를 쉽고 빨르게 생성하여 내장형 소프트웨어 개발의 효율성을 높일 수 있다.

On mobile devices, image sequences are widely used for multimedia applications such as computer vision, video enhancement, and augmented reality. However, the real-time processing of mobile devices is still a challenge because of constraints and demands for higher resolution images. Recently, heterogeneous computing methods that utilize both a central processing unit (CPU) and a graphics processing unit (GPU) have been researched to accelerate the image sequence processing. This paper deals with various optimizing techniques such as parallel processing by the CPU and GPU, distributed processing on the CPU, frame buffer object, and double buffering for parallel and/or distributed tasks. Using the optimizing techniques both individually and combined, several heterogeneous computing structures were implemented and their effectiveness were analyzed. The experimental results show that the heterogeneous computing facilitates executions up to 3.5 times faster than CPU-only processing.

The phrase "Ubiquitous Computing" has become popular ever since Mark Weiser used it in an article. It is to realize a computerized environment in which small computers are embedded and cooperate with each other. This environment will support many activities of our daily life. In a Ubiquitous Computing environment, various devices will be connected to the network from houses and buildings. Therefore it is necessary to ensure network security and to protect private data from tapping, falsification and the disguising of identity by others. This study reviews the Ubiquitous Computing technologies in detail and outlines the design concept of the Stream Cipher Algorithm.

The evaluation of ubiquitous computing service is the important work for preparing the commercialization of the ubiquitous business services in which ubiquitous intelligence (ubitelligence) is embedded. However, the methodology for evaluating ubiquitous computing services has not been developed enough. Even the study of making a distinction what is 'ubiquitous' or not is insufficient yet. Hence, this paper aims to propose an integrated methodology to assess the ubiquitous computing services. A multi-layered approach is adopted to assess not only technical but also behavioral service levels.

단순 모니터에서 CPU, 메모리, 그리고 하드디스크를 갖춘 셋탑박스에 이르기까지 내장형 시스템은 다양한 응용에 사용되고 있다. 특히 휴대용 또는 소형기기에 멀티미디어를 서비스하는 경우가 증가하고 있고 이들 시스템에는 내장형 운영체제가 탑재되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 멀티미디어 서비스를 위한 내장형 리눅스가 탑재된 임베디드 시스템에서 응용 프로그램과 운영체제 커널사이의 메모리 복사 요구를 감소시키는 Null copy기법을 제안한다. 저성능의 컴퓨팅 파워 및 저용량의 메모리를 가진 내장형 시스템에서 연속 미디어를 네트워크를 통해 실시간으로 전송하고자 할 때 Null copy 기법은 시스템의 QoS를 만족시킬 수 있다. 웹 카메라를 내장형 리눅스 개발 보드에 장착하여 영상 전송 환경을 구축한 결과 Null copy 기법은 CPU 이용률 및 마감시간 실패측면에서 기존 커널에 비해 우수한 성능을 나타내었다.

We can implement the virtual touch recognition system by mounting the virtual touch algorithm into an embedded device connected to a depth camera. Since the computing performance is limited in embedded system, the real-time processing of recognizing the virtual touch is difficult when the resolution of the depth image is large. In order to resolve the problem, this paper improves the algorithms of binarization and labeling that occupy a lot of time in all processing of virtual touch recognition. It processes the binarization and labeling in only necessary regions rather than all of the picture. By appling the proposed algorithm, the system can recognize the virtual touch in real-time as about 31ms per a frame in the depth image that has 640×480 resolution.

The home network system of ubiquitous computing concept is changing present our home life as more comfortable and safe. Also, it permits that we can connect the home network system and control the appliance which is linked to the home network system without limitation in time and place. But, as other systems that use the public network like the Internet, remote control/monitoring of the home network system that use the Internet includes problems such as user's access which is not admitted and information changing. This paper presents the efficient solution about the security problem that is recognized to important problem of the home network system. Also this paper implements the security of the home network system based on the UPnP (Universal Plug and Play), adding VPN (Virtual Private Network) router that uses the IPsec to the home network system which is consisted of the ARM9 and the Embedded Linux.
