본 논문은 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서 PARLAY X기반 서비스 전송 플랫폼상의 MDA(Model Driven Architecture)기반 SCE(Service Creation Environment)를 이용하는 ACS(Adaptive Conte저-aware Service)에 관하여 서술하였다. 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서는 망 수준에서 문맥인식성과 더불어 적응성이 요구된다. 그러나 기존의 문맥인식성 미들웨어는 적응성에 대한 고려가 부족하다. 그러므로 본 논문의 목적은 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서 문맥인식성과 적응성이 동시에 지원 가능한 PARLAY X기반의 신규 망 서비스 구조 및 PARLAY X API를 개발하고자 하는 것이다. 본 논문에서 제안한 ACS(Adaptive Context-aware Service)는 사용자 주변에 변화하는 문맥 제약조건을 감지하고, 변화하는 문맥 제약 조건에 따라서 적응성 있는 망 서비스를 제공하는 것을 의미하며, ACS를 이용하는 예로 위치와 속도 등의 문맥정보를 인식한 후, 사용자에게 망에서 문맥정보에 따라서 적합한 차별화된 QoS를 지원하는 경우를 보였다. An의 구조는 SCE, Adaptive Context Broker, 그리고 PARLAY G/W로 구성되어 있다. SCE는 기존 지능망의 망 서비스와 같은 망 서비스로서 문맥인식성과 적응성을 표현하고 지원하기 위한 망 서비스 개발 환경으로 본 논문에서는 CCL(Context-based Constraint Language)을 이용하였다. Adaptive Context Broker는 SCE의 문맥인식성 및 적응성 표현과 기존 PARLAY G/W사이의 브로커 역할을 한다. PARLAY G/W는 PARLAY X기반의 서비스 전송 플랫폼을 위한 API(Application Programming Interface)를 제공한다.

This paper describes a framework for extending GIS databases to support moving object data type and query language. The rapid progress of wireless communications, positioning systems, and mobile computing devices have led location-aware applications to be essential components for commercial and industrial systems. Location-aware applications require GIS databases system to represent moving objects and to support querying on the motion properties of objects. For example, fleet management applications may require storage of information about moving vehicles. Also, advanced CRM(Customer Relationship Management) applications may require to store and query the trajectories of mobile phone users. In this trend, maintaining consistent information about the location of continuously moving objects and processing motion-specific queries is challenging problem. We formally define a data model and query language for mobile objects that includes complex evolving spatial structure, and propose core algebra to process the moving object query language. Main profit of proposed moving objects query language and algebra is that proposed model can be constructed on the top of GIS databases.

Recently, RFID/USN is one of fundamental technologies in information and communications networks. Low-Rate WPAN, IEEE802.15.4 is a low-cost communication network that allows wireless connectivity in applications with limited Power and relaxed throughput requirements. Its applications are building automation, personal healthcare, industrial control, consumer electronics, and so on. Some applications require location information. Of course location awareness is useful to improve usability of data Low-Rate WPAN Is regarded as a key specification of the sensor network with the characteristics of wireless communication, computing, energy scavenging, self-networking, and etc. Unfortunately ZigBee alliance propose a lot of applications based on location aware technologies, but the specification and low-rate WPAN devices don't support anything about location-based services. RSSI ( Received Signal Strength indication) is for energy detection to associate, channel selection, and etc. RSSI is used to find the location of a potable device in WLAN. In this paper we studied indoor location awareness using vector matching of RSSI in low-Rate wireless PAN. We analyzed the characteristics of RSSI according to distance and experimented location awareness. We implemented sensor nodes with different shapes and configured the sensor network for the location awareness with 4 fixed nodes and a mobile node. We try to contribute developing location awareness method using RSSI in 3-dimension space.

This work discusses and evaluates the use of wireless and multi-sensor based technologies to develop UbiqBIOPARC, a new generation zoological park that has been created based on the zoo-immersion concept. It offers appropriate contextual information to zoo visitors, depending on their preferences and the environment in which they are positioned. It combines the flexibility of the iPhone SDK, the connectivity provided by 3G technologies, the location capabilities of GPS, and the orientation offered by a digital compass integrated in the device. In this document the overall architecture and the implementation steps followed to create this context-aware application are presented. We compare our system with respect to previous ones and demonstrate that UbiqBIOPARC is an example of how innovative context-aware applications can be built with the aid of GPS and compass features. Several real experiments have been carried out in order to evaluate performance and system behavior, and numerical results demonstrate the practicality offered by our application, while providing a quite reasonable performance in terms of delay, usability, and energy efficiency.

In ubiquitous environments, context is any information that can be used to characterize the situation of an entity such as a person or an object. Many sensors and small computers collect contexts and provide applications with them. Thus, ubiquitous applications need to represent contexts and exploit them effectively. In this paper, we design and implement a context-aware messaging system, called UMS (Ubiquitous Messaging System), based on Java and Jini. UMS can represent various contexts using XML scripts, and communicate text messages regardless of user's location using the proxy mechanism of Jini.

Big data processing applications have been migrated into cloud gradually, due to the advantages of cloud computing. Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) is one of the fundamental support systems for big data processing on MapReduce-like frameworks, such as Hadoop and Spark. Since HDFS is not aware of the co-location of virtual machines in the cloud, the default scheme of block allocation in HDFS does not fit well in the cloud environments behaving in two aspects: data reliability loss and performance degradation. In this paper, we present a novel location-aware data block allocation strategy (LDBAS). LDBAS jointly optimizes data reliability and performance for upper-layer applications by allocating data blocks according to the locations and different processing capacities of virtual nodes in the cloud. We apply LDBAS to two stages of data allocation of HDFS in the cloud (the initial data allocation and data recovery), and design the corresponding algorithms. Finally, we implement LDBAS into an actual Hadoop cluster and evaluate the performance with the benchmark suite BigDataBench. The experimental results show that LDBAS can guarantee the designed data reliability while reducing the job execution time of the I/O-intensive applications in Hadoop by 8.9% on average and up to 11.2% compared with the original Hadoop in the cloud.

The internet and wireless communication technologies are creating ubiquitous environments in which various services are expected anytime and anywhere. Many hardware facilities have been developed and system structures are suggested for mobile services to realize a ubiquitous computing environment with appropriate quality. But these applications are not designed in the consideration of the general capabilities to perform user's wireless and mobile communication/transaction. Consequently, different needs from users are not sufficiently satisfied yet. In this study, we suggest structure of the emerging network system for mobile commerce that provides users with seamless and ubiquitous environments using location information which exploit context-aware technology.

Knowledge workers' workload to register knowledge can cause quality defects in the quality as well as the quantity of knowledge that must be accumulated in a knowledge management system(KMS). To enhance the availability of a KMS by acquiring more quality-guaranteed knowledge, autonomous knowledge acquisition which outdoes the automated acquisition must be initiated. Adopting the capabilities of context-awareness and inference in the field of context-aware computing, this paper intends to autonomously identify and acquire knowledge from knowledge workers' daily lives. Based on knowledge workers' context information, such as location, identification, schedule, etc, a methodology to monitor, sense, and gather knowledge that resides in their ordinary discussions is proposed. Also, a prototype systems of the context-based knowledge acquisition system(CKAS), which autonomously dictates, analyzes, and stores dialogue-based knowledge is introduced to prove the validity of the proposed concepts. This paper's methodology and prototype system can support relieving knowledge workers' burden to manually register knowledge, and hence provide a way to accomplish the goal of knowledge management, efficient and effective management of qualified knowledge.
