In this paper, we propose a policy-driven RFID data management event definition language, which is possibly applicable as a partial standard for SSI (Software System Infrastructure) Part 4 (Application Interface, 24791-4) defined by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 31/WG 4 (RFID for Item Management). The SSI's RFID application interface part is originally defined for providing a unified interface of the RFID middleware functionality―data management, device management, device interface and security functions. However, the current specifications are too circumstantial to be understood by the application developers who used to lack the professional and technological backgrounds of the RFID middleware functionality. As an impeccable solution, we use the concept of event-constraint policy that is not only representing semantic contents of RFID domains but also providing transparencies with higher level abstractions to RFID applications, and that is able to provide a means of specifying event-constraints for filtering a huge number of raw data caught from the associated RF readers. Conclusively, we try to embody the proposed concept by newly defining an XML-based RFID event policy definition language, which is abbreviated to rXPDL. Additionally, we expect that the specification of rXPDL proposed in the paper becomes a technological basis for the domestic as well as the international standards that are able to be extensively applied to RFID and ubiquitous sensor networks.

In this paper, we propose a location-prediction structure that can provide user service in advance. It consists of seven steps and supplies intelligent services which can forecast user's location. Context information collected from physical sensors and a history database is so difficult that it can't present importance of data and abstraction of data because of heterogeneous data type. Hence, we offer the location-prediction that change data type from heterogeneous data to homogeneous data. Extracted data is clustered by SOFM, then it gets user's location information by ARIMA and realizes the services by a reasoning engine. In order to validate the proposed location-prediction, we built a test-bed and test it by the scenario.

Unlike a single value from a sensor device, a massive data set has characteristics for various processing aspects; input data may be formed in a different format, the size of input data varies, and the processing time of analyzing input data is not predictable. Therefore, context aware systems may contain complex modules, and these modules can be implemented and used in different ways. In order to solve these problems, we propose a method to handle context information from the result of analyzing massive data. The proposed method considers analysis work as a different type of abstracting context and suggests the way of representing context information. In experiment, we demonstrate how the context processing engine works properly in a couple of steps with healthcare services.

Modern society encounters various accidents due to industrialization and numbers of studies are going on to minimize damage from accidents. For prevention of accidents, it is necessary to design a system that helps making accurate judgment in emergency cases and is able to instantly manage each contingency. Various studies are currently going on contingency information system under ubiquitous environment. However, there have not been sufficient studies on the system that is able to monitor and process multiple contingencies and thus we still have difficulties in coping with multiple contingencies promptly. This study designs a RFID/USN middleware system for multiple contingencies control that receives data from various kinds of sensors and saves data after time marking thus is able to provide conjectured context when requested.

일반적으로 사용자의 작업과 관련 있는 적절한 정보 또는 서비스를 제공하는 과정에서 '상황'을 사용하는 경우 이를 상황인식 시스템으로 정의한다. 상황인식 컴퓨팅 기술이 내장된 기기나 컴퓨터는 상황을 감지하여 적절하고 유용한 서비스를 제공하는 능력을 갖게 된다. 이러한 기술은 교육, 의료, 사무실 환경 등 다양한 분야에 걸쳐 활용된다. 특히 현대화된 강의실 환경은 각종 매체의 설치로 인해 전력소모가 심해지며, 매체들과 강의 환경의 효율적인 관리가 어려워지는 문제를 발생시키므로 상황인식 컴퓨팅 기술이 적용될 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 상황인식 기술을 이용한 강의실 관리 시스템을 제안한다. 이 관리 시스템은 다양한 센서 (온도, 조도, $CO_2$, 인체감지) 로부터 획득되는 저수준의 데이터를 사용자가 식별할 수 있는 추상화된 고수준의 정보로 변환하여 사용자에게 알려준다. 이 시스템을 구축함으로써 관리자는 강의실 내부에 설치된 매체들과 환경요소에 대한 상황을 쉽게 인식 할 수 있고, 강의실 내부의 상황변화에 대해 능동적으로 관리 할 수 있게 된다. 또한 강의실에 대한 과거의 이력정보를 검색 할 수 있음으로써 사전관리가 가능해짐에 따라 수동적인 관리로 인한 전력소비에 비해 전력절감 효과가 있고 쾌적한 강의실 환경을 학생들에게 제공 해 줄 수 있게 된다.

Model-Driven Development(MDD) helps developers verify requirements and design issues of a software system in the early stage of development process by taking advantage of a software model which is the most highly abstracted form of a software system. In practice, however, many software systems have been developed through a code-centric method that builds a software system bottom-up rather than top-down. So, without support of appropriate tools, it is not easy to introduce MDD to real development process. Although there are many researches about extracting a model from code to help developers introduce MDD to code-centrically developed system, most of them only extracted base-level models. However, using concept of abstract component one can continuously extract higher level model from base-level model. In this paper we propose a practical method for automatic extraction of base level abstract component from source code, which is the first stage of continuous extraction process of abstract component, and validate the method by implementing an extraction tool based on the method. Target code chosen is the source code of TinyOS, an operating system for wireless sensor networks. The tool is applied to the source code of TinyOS, written in nesC language.

Recently, 2D GIS technology is applied for urban facility management. However, urban facilities are located in 3D space and the information loss is occurring during data abstraction from 3D urban facility to 2D object. Also, the number of urban facilities is increasing steadily and most of urban facilities are located in underground space in the city. Therefore 2D urban facility management system has a limitation on visualization and management for a large number of urban facilities. In this paper, a multi-dimensions urban facility management system based on multi-texture technology is proposed. The proposed system reduces the information loss and improves the readability of information by visualizing urban facilities on 3D virtual space. A multi-texturing technology is applied for integrating of 2D vector data and 3D raster data, and a multi-thread technology is used for improving speed and performance of the system. The proposed technology can be used as a guideline for urban facility monitoring as providing visual information of a facility status with 3D image and facility data.
