As the ubiquitous computing technology (uT) is prevailing, applying uT is more likely to transform the legacy way of doing business to a new way with the goals of ubiquitous computing: strategic use of information resources by using them everywhere, every time, with any devices for any services. These opportunities naturally require the provision to assess the degree of the transformation from the legacy IT-based e-business to the uT-based business. However, research about assessing the degree of u-transformation has been still very few. Moreover, even deciding what is ubiquitous or not is obscure. Hence, this paper aims to propose the methodology for assessing the degree of u-transformation oriented by the teleology of ubiquitous service, which intends to fully make use of uT in creating new business of next generation. Through the literature review, we developed the methodology to check whether the provided service is ubiquitous or not based on the capabilities that technologies have. and then, the methodology developed to assess the technical requirements that the uT should have when the transformation is considered through the focus group interview based on the literature review of the capability. A two-layered approach is introduced to assess not only the level of ubiquity but also the degree of u-transformation.

This paper presents Kalman filter based system modeling algorithm for autonomous robot systems. State of the robot system is measured using embedded sensor systems and then carried to a host computer via ubiquitous sensor network (USN). We settle a linear state-space motion equation for unknown robot system dynamics and modify a popular Kalman filter algorithm in deriving suitable parameter estimation mechanism. To represent time-delay nature due to network media in system modeling, we construct an augmented state-space model which is mainly composed of original state and estimated parameter vectors. We conduct real-time experiment to test our proposed estimation algorithm where speed state of the constructed robot is used as system observation.

Recently, various ubiquitous networking services are developed and implemented for easy living. In general, new ubiquitous networking services require the new infrastructure including equipments and devices. However, it is difficult to replace existing infrastructure and devices with new ones in the home or office because of cost and maintenance problems. In this paper, we developed small-size web based RF wireless communication systems for sensor network applications. The designed RF systems are implemented using commercial system on a chip (SoC) on existing infrastructure and devices. The developed systems are tested for light control and temperature sensing and they are applied to sensor network training courses for students and engineer as well as various practical applications.

In this paper, we propose and analyze a novel synchronization scheme for ubiquitous home network system. In ubiquitous home network system, synchronization method is very important because many consumer electronic devices send the data simultaneously to each other through infrastructure such as access point. We employ digital watermarking sequence to improve synchronization performance without system overhead. The performance of proposed scheme is analyzed in terms of correlation performance. The results of the paper can be applied to design of various applications for ubiquitous home network systems.

Recently, developing U-City as an integrated set of ubiquitous space services has been regarded as a promising field in realizing ubiquitous computing technology. However, well organized requirement analyses of U-City to declare what kinds of ubiquitous space services are needed and which ubiquitous computing technology should be incorporated to come up with the needs are still insufficient. Hence, the aims of this paper are to propose a set of unique U-City construction philosophies and to analyze which services should be offered in the ubiquitous space services in U-Cities. A field survey to the citizens who are potential end users of the ubiquitous space services was conducted to analyze the success factors of U-City using CSF methodology. Focused group interview with professionals in the field of ubiquitous computing technology in Korea was then performed to identify the relationship of the ubiquitous space services and the critical success factors.

Recently as ubiquitous environment comes to the fore, information density is raised and enterprise is being able to capture and utilize customer-related information at the same time when the customer purchases a product. In this environment, a need for the recommender systems which can deliver proper information to the customer at the right time and right situation is highly increased. Therefore, the research on recommender systems continued actively in a variety of fields. Until now, most of recommender systems deal with item recommendation. However, in the market in ubiquitous environment where the same item can be purchased at several stores, it is highly desirable to recommend store to the customer based on his/her contextual situation and preference such as store location, store atmosphere, product quality and price, etc. In this line of research, we proposed the store recommender system using customer's contextual situation and preference in the market in ubiquitous environment. This system is based on collaborative filtering and Apriori algorithms. It will be able to provide customer-centric service to the customer, enhance shopping experiences and contribute in revitalizing market in the long term.

Ubiquitous computing environment requires strong security and privacy. Access control is one of security areas. Access control on Ubiquitous computing is different from it on traditional information systems so that traditional access control models are not suitable for Ubiquitous comput-ing environment. This research defines Ubiquitous computing environment as an access control point of view, and shows requirements to consid-er for developing access control model for Ubiquitous computing environment. It also brings up three implementing types of access control on Ubiquitous computing environment.

Aiming at solving the problems associated with existing wireless paging systems, this paper proposed a 4W1H+L+PI concept to context-aware information structure, based on which, a new wireless paging system named 119 system is developed under ubiquitous environment. Bemuse of the adoption of RFID tags in the wireless paging system, hazard and malfunction rates are reduced, thus accuracy is guaranteed. Besides, response time is shortened comparing with existing systems. In the future, if emergency aid information system can be implemented under the ubiquitous computing environment combined with sensor network, then aid service of good quality will be provided.

With the recent development of the ubiquitous computing technology, there are increasing interest and research in technologies such as sensors and RFID related to information recognition and location positioning in various ubiquitous fields. Especially, RTLS (Real-Time Locating Services) dealing with spatio-temporal data is emerging as a promising technology. For these reasons, the ISO/IEC published RTLS standard specification for compatibility and interoperability in RTLS. Therefore, in this paper, we designed and implemented Spatio-temporal Query Processing Systems for efficiently managing and searching the incoming Spatio-temporal data stream of moving objects. Spatio-temporal Query Processing Systems's spatio-temporal middleware maintains interoperability among heterogeneous devices and guarantees data integrity in query processing through real time processing of unceasing spatio-temporal data streams and two way synchronization of spatio-temporal DBMSs. Web Server uses the SOAP(Simple Object Access Protocol) message between client and server for interoperability and translates client's SOAP message into CQL(Continuous Query Language) of the spatio-temporal middleware.
