When using IFC data consisting of STEP schema based on the EXPRESS language, it is not easy for collaborating project stakeholders to share BIM modeling shape information. The IFC viewer application must be installed on the desktop PC to review the BIM modeling shape information defined within the IFC, because the IFC viewer application not only parse STEP structure information model but also process the 3D feature construction for a 3D visualization. Therefore, we propose a lightweight data structure design for web visualization by parsing IFC data and constructing 3D modeling data. Our experimental results show the weight reduction of IFC data is about 40% of original file size and the web visualization is able to see the same quality with all web browsers which support WebGL on PCs and smartphones. If applied research is conducted about the web visualization based on IFC data of the last construction phase, it could be utilized in various fields ranging from the facility maintenance to indoor location-based services.

A two-step open system(TOS) was proposed to relay between a healing platform and a repository of personal health documents. TOS was designed by taking into consideration the pubsub service based on large scale connections to monitor a provider's access/request process for health documents in real time. TOS, however, uses WebSocket as a communication protocol in case of pubsub. Given the operational environment of low quality wireless networks for mobile devices that are user terminals in a healing platform, there is a need to add a messaging protocol to support QoS as well as a transmission protocol. As a light messaging protocol optimized for mobile devices, MQTT defines reliable messaging QoS to consider a wireless network situation of low speed/low quality. This study designed an MQTT protocol-based message broker to support QoS in case of large scale connections and pubsub by taking into consideration mobile devices that are user terminals in a healing platform. After designing a model between TOS and MQTT message broker, the study implemented a prototype based on the proposed design and compared it with its counterparts from previous studies based on the performance indicators in a load-test with the MQTT client tool.

With the spread of wireless internet, the interest in mobile applications and services is increasing. Korea Wireless Internet Standardization Forum has been establishing the standards for mobile platform and map service in the wireless internet environment. This study aims to present a paragon of mapping middleware that plays the role of broker for wireless internet map service: in particular, it focuses on the interoperability with generic map servers. In this study, we developed a method for applying current map servers to the wireless internet map service, and analyzed the request/response structure of the map servers which have different operation characteristics in order to allow our middleware to fully utilize the functionalities of the map servers. The middleware we developed is composed of .NET-based XML Web Services: it has a lightweight module for image map and a map representation module for choropleth map, symbol map, chart map, etc. This mapping middleware is a broker between mobile client and generic map server, and supports .NET clients and Java clients as well. Its component-based interoperability grants the extensibility for the wireless internet dedicated map servers of the future in addition to the current generic map servers.
