In the age of ubiquitous environment, huge number of devices and computing services are provided to users. Personalized service, which is modeled according to the character of each and every individual is of particular need. In order to provide various dynamic services according to user's movement, service unit and operating mode should be able to operate automatically with minimum user intervention. In this paper, we discuss the steps of offering approximate service based on user's request in ubiquitous environment. First, we present our simulator designed for modeling the physical resource and computing object in smart space - the infrastructure in ubiquitous. Second, intelligent agents, which we developed based on a FIPA specification compliant multi-agent framework will be discussed. These intelligent agents are developed for achieving the service goal through cooperation between distributed agents. Third, we propose an automated service discovery and composition method in heterogeneous environment using semantic message communication between agents, according to the movement by the user interacting with the service available in the smart space. Fourth, we provide personalized service through agent monitoring anytime, anywhere from user's profile information stored on handhold device. Therefore, our research provides high quality service more than general automated service operation.

In a network environment, when a user requests a server's service, a remote user authentication system using smart cards is a very practical solution to validate the eligibility of a user and provide secure communication. In these authentication schemes, due to fast progress of networks and information technology, most of provided services are in multi-server environments. However, there are no studies in multi-server authentication schemes using smart cards providing mutual anonymity so far. In this paper, we propose a novel user authentication scheme using smart cards providing mutual authentication and mutual anonymity for multi-server environments. Our proposed scheme achieves the low-computation requirement for smart cards and a user can use permitted various services in eligible servers by only one registration. Also, this scheme guarantees perfect mutual anonymity of participants.

U-Healthcare is more efficient as a solving method for health problems rather than visiting the hospital. Recently, systems have been studied to offer appropriate service to user, which gather and analyze biological signals of a user and context information around the user from a variety of sensors. The existing systems for U-Healthcare are based on domain specific service so it is difficult to expand and link to other systems. Also, they lack services focusing on the specific quality of the user, because they offer a general service which targets a lot of users. To address this problem, we expand an extensibility of system using the context-awareness agent based on multi-agents. Also, we provide the suitable services which match with the context information of user to each user using the modeling toolkit JaUCE based on GUI. We design and implement U-Silvercare service to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed context-awareness agent and modeling toolkit.

In order to reach Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency communication, one of 5G aims, Multi-access Edge Computing paradigm was born. The idea of this paradigm is to bring cloud computing technologies closer to the network edge. User services are hosted in multiple Edge Clouds, deployed at the edge of the network distributedly, to reduce the service latency. For mobile users, migrating their services to the most proper Edge Clouds for maintaining a Quality of Service is a non-convex problem. The service migration problem becomes more complex in high mobility scenarios. The goal of the study is to observe how user mobility affects the selection of Edge Cloud during a fixed mobility path. Mobility-Aware Service Migration (MASM) is proposed to optimize service migration based on two main parameters: routing cost and service migration cost, during a high mobility scenario. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with an existing greedy algorithm.

In this paper, the performance of IS-95B CDMA system adopting multi-code scheme for data service on the forward link is obtained by theoretical analysis and computer simulation. The wireless channel is assumed to include AWGN, MUI(Multi-User Interference), and MPI(Multi-Path Interference), and multipath Rayleigh fading modeled by TDL(Tapped Delay Line). To obtain actual performance, IS-95B system using PN codes(M-sequence) concatenated with Walsh codes is considered. The BER performance of voice/data service satisfying QoS requirement and the maximum capacity of voice users is derived in terms of various system parameters(voice activity factor, required SNR of voice/data users, the number of multi-codes, the number of voice/data users.,etc.). As a result, under the condition that the maximum allowable number of voice user is 38 in voice only system, as the number of multi-code is decreased by 1, the maximum allowable number of voice user is increased by 5% for system with 1 data user and 22.3% for system with 4 data users. Therefore, it is possible to increase maximum allowable number of users in IS-95B CDMA system by appropriate control of the number of multi-codes and required SNR according to channel environment and traffic characteristic.

Multi-screen service is a service that consumes more than one media in a number of terminals simultaneously or discriminately. This multi-screen service has become useful due to distribute of smart TV and terminals. Also, in case of hybrid broadcasting environment that is convergence of broadcasting and communication environment, it is able to provide various user experience through contents consumed by multiple screens. In hybrid broadcasting environment, scene composition technology can be used as an element technology for multi-screen service. Using scene composition technology, multiple media can be consumed complexly through the specified presentation time and space. Thus, multi-screen service based on the scene composition technology can provide spatial and temporal control and consumption of multiple media by linkage between the terminals. However, existing scene composition technologies are not able to use easily in hybrid broadcasting because of applicable environmental constraints, the difficulty in applying the various terminal and complexity. For this problems, HTML5 can be considered. HTML5 is expected to be applied in various smart terminals commonly, and provides consumption of diverse media. So, in this paper, it proposes the scene composition and multi-screen service technology based on HTML5 that is expected be used in various smart terminals providing hybrid broadcasting environment. For this, it includes the introduction in terms of HTML5 and multi-screen service, the method of providing information related with scene composition and multi-screen service through the extention of elements and attributes in HTML5, media signaling between terminals and the method of synchronization. In addition, the proposed scene composition and multi-screen service technology based on HTML5 was verified through the implementation and experiment.

Information superhighway and improvement of computing power result in increase of the requirements for distributed multimedia applications. But, developer of applications needs much time and efforts because of the difficulties of development, enhancement and maintenance of distributed applications. To solve this problem, CORBA is used widely. But, the definitions of CORBA services are required for the brief developments of distributed multimedia applications. Especially, collaboration service is required because multiple users use distributed multimedia service. Collaboration service manages user and group information of applications and makes the interoperability between of multi users. In this paper, we designed collaboration service for CORBA based distributed multimedia applications. Collaboration service is able to maintain group information and to present the ability for collaborative works between of multi users. Application developers can develop the applications easily because the ability of collaborative works is offered by collaboration service.

In this paper, the linearly interpolated PRC(Pseudo Range Correction) regenerating algorithm was applied to improve the DGPS(Differential Global Positioning System) positioning accuracy at user's spot by using the various PRC information obtained from multi-DGPS reference stations. The PRC information of each GPS satellite is not varying rapidly; it is possible to assume that the variation of PRC information of each GPS satellite is linear. So the linearly interpolated PRC regenerating algorithm can be applied to improve the DGPS positioning accuracy at user's spot by using the various PRC information obtained from multi-DGPS reference stations. To test the performance of the linearly interpolated PRC regenerating algorithm, maritime DGPS reference stations' PRC data was used in RTCM format. 11 maritime DGPS reference stations are in service providing DGPS information to public since 1999. Two set of 3 DGPS reference stations are selected to compare the performance of the linearly interpolated PRC regenerating algorithm. The DGPS positioning accuracy was dramatically improved about 40%. Linearly interpolated PRC regenerating algorithm adopted multi-channel DGPS receiver will be developed in near future.
