This paper focuses on the prediction algorithm among the context-awareness technologies. With a representative algorithm, Bayesian Networks, it is difficult to realize a context-aware as well as to decrease process time in real-time environment. Moreover, it is also hard to be sure about the accuracy and reliability of prediction. One of the simplest algorithms is the sequential matching algorithm. We use it by adding the proposed Cache Scheme. It is adequate for a context-aware service adapting user's habit and reducing the processing time by average 48.7% in this paper. Thus, we propose a design method of user location prediction algorithm that uses sequential matching with the cache scheme by taking user's habit or behavior into consideration. The novel approach will be dealt in a different way compared to the conventional prediction algorithm.

Various life-logging based on cloud service have developed social network according to the advanced technology of smartphone and wearable device. Daily digital life on social networks has been shared information and emotion and developed new social relationships. Recent life-logging has required social relationships beyond extension of personal memory and anonymity for privacy protection. This study is to determine social network group by using life-logging data obtained in daily lives and to categorize emotion behavior with anonymity guarantee. Social network group was defined by grouping similar representative emotional behavior. The public's patterns and trends was able to be inferred by analyzing representative emotion and behavior of the social groups network.

This paper attempts to find out the psychological characteristic factors of Korean consumers, and to identify how they influence consumers' attitudes toward the products for the world famous brands. The related literature refers face-consciousness trait, boast trait and ritualism trait to the main research objectives of this research. As results, 3 underlying factors are found to underly the 'Chemyon(social face)', 6 factors to 'Uzzul(Boasting)'. Multiple regression analysis reports that 'Uzzul(Boasting)' trait has a significant influence over the consumer's attitudes toward the product for the famous brands, and Chemyon(social face) trait has the same effects as well though with less statistical weight. The paper's findings suggests academically that we need more serious research endeavor to understand consumption propensities that are salient to Korean consumers. And, they also imply that advertising creative director would implement the knowledge in developing creative strategy for brand advertising.

This study was performed to determine the usefulness of scanpath similarity analysis as one of new web usability testing. The 5 websites of public institutions were used and 15 students participated. First of all, eye movements were tracked and visual appeal ratings were measured as participants freely viewed each website for 3 seconds. Subsequently in continuously tracking the eye movements we asked the participants to perform 17 missions. Finally, in interview the participants rated on satisfaction, awareness, and mission difficulty. Results of this study showed that scanpath similarity had a significant relationship with both the visual appeal ratings(first impression) and the satisfaction. In other words, higher the visual appeal ratings were related to higher scanpath similarity. This result showed that measurement such as scanpath similarity of eye movements could become an objective index for usability testing instead of subjective evaluation such as the satisfaction. We discussed possibility that the usability testing by using the scanpath similarity with both fixation and duration on eye movements will find more appropriately inference on observers' experiences in websites.

To build autonomous agents who can make a decision on behalf of humans in time-critical complex environments, the formulation of operational knowledge base could be essential. This paper proposes the methodology of how to formulate the knowledge base and evaluates it in a practical application domain. We analyze threat data received from the multiple sensors of Aircraft Survivability Equipment(ASE) for Korean helicopters, and integrate the threat data into the inductive model through compilation technique which extracts features of the threat data and relations among them. The compiled protocols of state-action rules can be implemented as the brain of the ASE. They can reduce the amounts of reasoning, and endow the autonomous agents with reactivity and flexibility. We report experimental results that demonstrate the distinctive and predictive patterns of threats in simulated battlefield settings, and show the potential of compilation methods for the successful detection of threat systems.

Research on AI is essential to build a system with collective intelligence that allows a large number of UAVs to maintain their flight while carrying out various missions. A typical approach of AI includes 'top-down' approach, which is a rule-based logic reasoning method including expert system, and 'bottom-up approach' in which overall behavior is determined through partial interaction between simple objects such as artificial neural network and Flocking Algorithm. In the same study as the existing Flocking Algorithm, individuals can not perform individual tasks. In addition, studies such as UAV formation flight can not flexibly cope with problems caused by partial flight defects. In this paper, we propose organic integration between top - down approach and bottom - up approach through multi - agent system, and suggest a flight flight algorithm which can perform flexible mission through it.

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.

In order to create an intelligent autonomous agent in virtual world, we need a sophisticated design for perception, recognition, judgement and behavior. We develop the perception and recognition functions for such an autonomous agent. Our perception mechanism identifies lines based on differences in color, the primitive visible data, and exploits those lines to grasp shapes and regions in the scene. We develop an inferencing algorithm that can infer the original shape from a damaged or partially hidden shape using its characteristics from the ontology in order to intelligently recognize the perceived shape. Several individually recognized 2D shapes and their spatial relations form 3D shapes and those 3D shapes in turn constitute a scene. Each 3D shape occupies its respective region, and an agent analyzes the associated objects and relevant scenes to recognize things and phenomena. We also develop a mechanism by which an agent uses this recognition function to accumulate and use her knowledge on the scene in the historical context. We implement these functions presented above against an example situation to demonstrate their sophistication and realism.

Today, mobile phones have become an essential item for man-to-man communication. As more people use mobile phones, various services based on mobile phone networks and high-end devices have been developed. In addition, with the growth of the concept of ubiquitous computing, there are many ongoing studies on novel and useful services in smartphone. In this paper, for personalized service in smartphone we propose an intelligent agent that uses user modeling based on bayesian network and rule based service selection mechanism. It infers the user's status such as his current affect, how he is busy, and how someone is familiar with him from personal information and communication history using bayesian network and Provides appropriate services on the basis of the inferred information. We apply it to some realistic situation to confirm the usefulness our proposed agent.

In sensor network processing environments, current location tracking methods have problems in accuracy on receiving the transmitted data and pinpointing the exact locations depending on the applied methods, and also have limitations on decision making and monitoring the situations because of the lack of considering context-awareness. In order to overcome such limitations, we proposed a method which utilized context-awareness in a data processing module which tracks a location of the magnetic object(Magnetic Line Tracer) and controlled introspection data based on magnetic sensor. Also, in order to prove its effectiveness we have built a wireless sensor network test-bed and conducted various location tracking experiments of line tracer using the data and resulted in processing of context-aware data. Using the new data, we have analyzed the effectiveness of the proposed method for locating the information database entries and for controlling the route of line tracer depending on context-awareness.
