Developing various ubiquitous computing services (U-services) is being propelled throughout the industry. As U-services are being penetrated into our daily life, research on the factors influencing the acceptance of U-services is highly needed. In this line of study, we examined previous literatures about information technology acceptance and UTAUT model, and applied UTAUT model to U-service acceptance. To characterize the U-services into our research model, we newly introduced 'context based personalization' factor. Since the respondents could not directly experience the U-services yet, we adopted scenario-based questionnaire. For this, we deliberately developed U-service scenario. And then this U-service scenario is verified using capability-based assessment method. Using data collected from 251 respondents, this study found that 'context based personalization' factor was positively and significantly related to the acceptance of U-service as well as UTAUT model's 4 factors such as performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence and facilitating conditions.

기상이변에 의한 자연재해나 방사능 유출, 가스폭발 등에 의한 인재는 예보방송도 중요하지만 사고 현장에 있는 사람들에게 현재의 상황 정보를 전달하고 행동지침 요령을 전달하여 2차 피해를 예방하고 재난 지역 및 재산상의 손실을 최소화 시킬 수 있기 때문에 긴급 재난 방송 또한 매우 중요하다. 지상파 DMB는 휴대폰, PMP(Portable Multimedia Player), 내비게이션 등과 같이 개인 휴대 단말기와 결합된 형태로 보급되어 보급률 및 사용률이 매우 높으며 이동 중에도 별도의 비용 없이 양질의 데이터 수신이 가능하기 때문에 긴급 재난 방송 서비스를 시행하는데 있어 가장 최적화 된 모델로 평가된다. 이에 본고에서는 국내 재난방송의 특성을 살펴보고 지상파 DMB를 이용하여 어떻게 긴급 재난 방송 서비스를 할 수 있는지 서비스의 구조와 특성에 대해 알아본다. 또, 향후 긴급 재난 방송이 우리 생활에 끼치는 영향과 앞으로의 해결되어야 할 문제점에 대해 고찰한다.

Users want to receive customized service using users' personal device. To fulfill this requirement, the mobile device has to support a lot of functions. However, the mobile device has limitations such as tiny display screens. To solve this limitation problem and provide customized service to users, this paper proposes the environment to provide services by sharing resources and the method to recommend user-suitable resources among sharable resources. For the resource recommendation, This paper analyzes user's behavior pattern from usage history and proposes the method for recommending customized resources. This paper also shows that the approach is reasonable one for resource recommendation through the satisfaction evaluation.

Problem development is important to Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and is key to the creativity and problem-solving skills of successful learners. The purpose of this study is to have PBL classes that effectively materialize problem development stages, and to develop learning using problems suitable for elementary school English Science classes. In this study, the steps for developing the problems are identifying educational content, identifying learners' characteristics, discovering problems, setting up roles and situations, and writing problems. Based on these steps, five PBL problems were developed by selecting a subject suitable for the PBL method of an English Science class, which is one of the English curriculums in elementary schools. Creative thinking, problem-solving skills, presentation skills, confidence, self-directed learning, cooperation, and communication skills are required in the rapidly changing society of the 21st century, rather than teacher-centered instruction, acquiring knowledge for correct answers only, and uniform assessments, which still take place in many English education settings. Therefore, developing problems suitable for PBL learning should be continuously studied.
