The services for ubiquitous computing environments have to provide automatically user-specific adaptive services in dynamically changed environments with many informations provided by both a user and his/her environment. Workflows used in business and distributed computing environments support service automation by connecting many tasks with rules or orderings of tasks. Therefore we must specify context information on transition condition to support context-aware services by adapting a workflow to ubiquitous computing environments. In this paper, we present a structural context model to specify context information on transition constraints of the workflow. And we propose an uWDL Ubiquitous Workflow Description Language) based on web services, which provides web service interfaces which are standardized and independent on heterogeneous and various platforms, protocols, and languages. The uWDL tan be interpreted and executed by a workflow engine, and provide users autonomic services based on context-awareness.

This article first defines the concept of ubiquitous learning, and then examine ways to design the educational environment for e-Learning and u-Learning. Next, identifies some disadvantages before seeking possible solutions. Finally, the article explores visions of how ubiquitous learning might look in the future. With the advent of information, communication and computer technologies, the needs and demands for ubiquitous learning are largely emerging, enabling students to easily access everything they want anytime, anywhere. In particular, the advance of high-speed broadband networks such as DMB, WiBro and WCDMA and the proliferation of portable digital devices including DMB, PDA and high-performance mobile phones will encourage the widespread adoption of u-Learning.

We describe the Ubiquitous Healthcare Service(UHS) architecture, a new service-provision architecture, covering the basic concept, component and their roles and the service-provision mechanism. A UHS provides services in two phases, a service composition phase in which Healthcare Service Elements (HSEs) are combined on the basis of Healthcare Service Agents (HSAs), and a Healthcare Service emergence phase in which a new HSA is obtained on the basis of the history usage of HSEs and HSAs. A UHS can handle various types of HSEs, representing web services, resources about healthcare domain. The establishment of UHS technologies on networks will provide various services within ubiquitous-computing environments.

Context-Awareness is a important technology to support optimized services automatically by recognizing various context informations in ubiquitous environments. Previous middlewares which supports ubiquitous environments used a centralized storage and DBMS to store and manage context informations and service contents. Centralized management of context informations and service contents sometimes hinders the autonomy of moving node and interoperability between difference middlewares. In this paper, we design the systems which stores context informations in moving node by distributed form and shares service contents between middlewares in distributed ubiquitous environments. And it provides Context-Aware scripts to supports the definition of context informations reasoning and execution of services. It verifies the usefulness of the designed systems by applying the scenario of music playing service based on context awareness

This paper proposed a session key exchange and authentication scheme on non-interactive key distribution algorithm using a community member's ID in ubiquitous networks. In ubiquitous network environment, User's context-awareness information is collected and used to provide a context-awareness service for someone who need it. However, in ubiquitous network environment, this kind of the Context-awareness information could be abused by a malicious nodes. The proposed scheme using the community member ID provides a session key exchange and mutual authentication between community members, and supports secure data communication. Also, when exchanging the session key and authenticating each other, this scheme reduces communication overhead and authentication delay compared to the AAA server scheme.

To support service based on context-aware in ubiquitous computing environment, there are required context managing, context reasoning and context modeling technologies. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical ontology-based context management model and design a context-aware middleware based on this model for supporting active application adaptability and reflecting users' requirements dynamically in contextual changes. It also provides efficient support for inferencing, interpreting, acquiring and discovering various contexts to build context-aware services and presents a resolution method for context conflict which is occurred in execution of service. The proposed middleware can support the development and operation of various context-aware services, which are required in the ubiquitous computing environment.

With the advent of uniquitous life, changes of users' demands make a public library accomplish roles and functions of a complex service center providing information, education and culture service. As a multi-function center, a public library provides various services based on physical and digital space in ubiquitous environment. Information commons is a basement of physical space in an u-Library. Especially, with the advent of ubiquitous environment, design and use of physical space will be a critical issue for a public library to perform its role and function as a multiple complicated space. This study derives facilities and components for designing and implementing information commons in a public library as a physical space. To perform the goals, this study focuses on the newest trends and requirements through literature study, case study and survey. As a result, this study proposes components of facility and principles of design to implement information commons as a physical space in a public library.

Ubiquitous computing is a new paradigm of telecommunication technology and is embedded with advanced computing technology to process a large amount of data in a normal environment. Generally, ail equipment is embedded with sensors and operating devices to interaction with communication functions. That is why ubiquitous computing must be able to access any devices anywhere at anytime in order to perform appropriate functions. Unfortunately, however, it is difficult to make an optimized design for applications which can effectively interaction with various functions in distributed environment like ubiquitous computing. Therefore, this paper is aimed at deploying interface with server nodules and virtual prototyping by utilizing LabVIEW and embedded application software with additional network function. In addition, given information about sensors collected from context-awareness and location-awareness, it will suggest the ideal ubiquitous application based on context-awareness and apply the advanced application to device control and monitoring through context awareness of lab.
