The cargo of ships and offshore structures is the number of oil of combustibility and volatile, oil processing cargo. Furthermore heavy cargo of the vehicle or container box or bulk cargo are occupied the remainder of cargo. In addition, there is a possibility to move the location of the cargo and the vessel because it is received periodic / non-periodic a load of wave and ocean current. Therefore a shipboard hazard is much greater than onshore industry hazard. Monitoring and preparation for safety are necessary things because there is always risk of accidents arise from the impact of the freight and cargo of ships and offshore structures. In this study, we conducted a study with respect to the introduction of the wireless sensor network monitoring system to ensure the safety of the crew and workers on shipboard.

To support advanced collaboration among knowledge workers distributed geographically, there have been extensive researches under the scope of ubiquitous computing environments. Especially, to cope with several known problems in traditional room-based collaboration environments such as uncomfortable sharing of visuals and documents and difficult operation of collaboration tools, several conceptual frameworks are designed and prototyped. Focusing on practical and interactive collaboration with remote nodes, in this paper, we conceptually design an agent-based service composition model for multi-party collaboration environments. The proposed model is designed to automatically discover and combine services to achieve given tasks in a collaboration environment by using high-level user commands (without the knowledge of internal architecture). Based on the service composition model, we develop a multi-agent-based management toolkit for multi-party collaboration environments. It provides easy-to-use GUI to operate various services in an environment and perform service composition algorithm to discover appropriate services and combine them. To explore the possibility of the toolkit we implement collaboration services to support video conference by using the toolkit.

Recently, wireless body area network (WBAN) has received much attention as an application for the ubiquitous healthcare system. In WBAN, each sensor nodes and a personal base station such as PDA have an energy constraint and computation overhead should be minimized due to node's limited computing power and memory constraint. The reliable data transmission also must be guaranteed because it handles vital signals. In this paper, we propose a systematic network coding scheme for WBAN to reduce the network coding overhead as well as total energy consumption for completion the transmission. We model the proposed scheme using Markov chain. To minimize the total energy consumption for completing the data transmission, we made the problem as a minimization problem and find an optimal solution. Our simulation result shows that large amount of energy reduction is achieved by proposed systematic network coding. Also, the proposed scheme reduces the computational overhead of network coding imposed on each node by simplify the decoding process.

The growth in the use of ubiquitous computing based on mobile services as an enabler to conduct business more effectively has been phenomenal. Technology acceptance model (TAM) has been applied in different contexts to examine a wide range of information technologies (IT). As more and more companies are finding ways to utilize ubiquitous computing based on mobile services, an important issue is to understand what factors will impact the decisions of consumers in adopting the services. Based on TAM with three additional groups of external factors, i.e., service-related factors (ubiquitous access, context awareness) and technology-related factors (perceived security risk, network connectivity) that are theoretically justified as having influence on both perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use which are additionally considered, a research model for the investigated technology acceptance was developed and empirically examined, using responses from more than intended users of ubiquitous computing based on mobile services. The specific purposes of this study are as follows. Firstly, this study is to identify service beliefs considering unique characteristics for ubiquitous services such as perceived ubiquitous access and perceived context awareness. Secondly, this study is to investigate network characteristics beliefs such as perceived security and perceived connectivity. Thirdly, this paper investigates the relationship among variables such as ubiquitous characteristics, network characteristics, behavioral beliefs, and intention to use ubiquitous web services. This study uses a structural equation model to test the research model. The major results of this study are as follows. Firstly, ubiquitous access has a influence on perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Context awareness has an influence on perceived usefulness. Secondly, User familiarity has an influence on perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, and intention to use. User innovativeness has an influence on perceived ease of use. Thirdly, perceived security risk has an influence on perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Network connectivity has an influence on perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Fourth, there exist differential effects among factors in structural model among information, transaction, and entertainment services.

Radiation is used in various field, including medical science, engineering science, agricultural science and other industrial fields and the use frequency of radiation is increasing thanks to the development of radiation technology. Although radiation contributes to the mankind so much, we must pay attention to radiation damage by its influence on human body. To use radiation properly and prevent the radiation damage, it is necessary to measure radiation exactly and to practice thorough research and education on the basis of this measurement. In this study, I suggest the method to measure radiation wirelessly without the limit of time and space, not approaching radiation having a harmful effect on human body by using ubiquitous computing technology. For the realization of suggested method, the wireless transmission technology of CDMA network is used and after installing embedded system in PDA, the measurement value is displayed through accessing CDMA network with PDA in radiation measurement system of having fixed IP. If we use the proposed method of this study, we don't have to approach radiation that is harmful to the human and can read the measurement value that is marked in PDA through CDMA network by radiation measurement system of having fixed IP.
