For a library to be able provide information services and fulfill its function as a knowledge convergence center capable of responding to various information demands, the development of next-generation information systems based on the latest information and communication technology is needed. The development of mobile information services using portable devices such smart phones and tablet PCs and information systems which incorporate the concepts of cloud computing, SaaS (Software as a Service), annotation and Library2.0 is also required. This paper describes a library information system that utilizes collective intelligence and cloud computing. The information system developed for this study adopts the SaaS-based cloud computing service concept to cope with the shift in the mobile service paradigm in libraries and the explosion of electronic data. The strengths of such a conceptual model include the sharing of resources, support of multi-tenants, and the configuration and support of metadata. The user services are provided in the form of software on-demand. To test the performance of the developed system, the efficiency analysis and TTA certification test were conducted. The results of performance tests, It is encouraging that, at least up to 100MB, the job time is approximately linear and with only a moderate overhead of less than one second. The system also passed the level-3 or higher criteria in the certification test, which includes the SaaS maturity, performance and application program functions.

The ubiquitous computing environment is a new paradigm that represents the future life and is expected to bring about great changes in IT and in the lives of individuals. However, since a good deal of information can be easily obtained and shared in the ubiquitous computing environment, problems such as a security threat and infringement of privacy are getting serious. The present study is intended to explore some ways to minimize such problems by introducing RFID technology in the ubiquitous computing environment. This study also examines the causes of violation of security and privacy that might occur in the RFID system and requirement for security. In addition it seeks possible technical solutions to those causes.

Generally, multidimensional data such as image and spatial data require large amount of storage space. There is a limit to store and manage those large amounts of data in single workstation. If we manage the data on parallel computing environment which is being actively researched these days, we can get highly improved performance. In this paper, we propose a parallel multidimensional index structure that exploits the parallelism of the parallel computing environment. The proposed index structure is nP(processor)-nxmD(disk) architecture which is the hybrid type of nP-nD and 1P-nD. Its node structure in-creases fan-out and reduces the height of an index. Also, a range search algorithm that maximizes I/O parallelism is devised, and it is applied to k-nearest neighbor queries. Through various experiments, it is shown that the proposed method outperforms other parallel index structures.

As the concept of Ubiquitous Computing has become an important issue, we need to have a voice in the field of Crime Prevention Technology. Ubiquitous Computing means that IT network based on realization of 6A(Anytime, Anywhere, Anybody, Anynetwork, Anydevice, Anyservice) is deeply penetrated into our daily life. As ITS has developed with the aid of IT and Crime Prevention Technology together, we need to discuss u-Crime Prevention or Crime Prevention sector is mentioned as a major application of Ubiquitous Computing.

The purpose of this study is to seek new u-business services in restaurant management. Using the concept of business model methodology in family restaurant management domain, this study identifies customers' needs in services at the stage of management of purchase of materials, the production management, and the sales management. In addition, this study suggests two killer applications of a family restaurant management linking with the latest ubiquitous computing technologies: the service of the customer-oriented menu recommendation and the service of the inventory-oriented menu recommendation. These findings may offer practical insights in the context of ubiquitous service model of restaurant management.

Recently many researches are investigating for ubiquitous computing and network. In the real world many sensor devices must be equipped to provide many services for users. To make computing environment easy and more user friendly, middleware system not only hides all complexities (network, system, services, etc), but also needs to have efficient context inference scheme and system reconfiguration capability. In this paper we suggest context-aware middleware design for sensor network which provides efficient computing environment for end-users. We also present XML based implementation of our system.

정보기술과 디지털 기술의 발전에 힘입어 디지털 콘텐츠에 대한 수요가 증가하였다. 디지털 콘텐츠 중 비디오 콘텐츠는 순차적인 특성을 가지며, 시간과 공간정보가 결합된 3차원 데이타로써 처리시간이 높은 작업이기 때문에 검색이나 브라우징이 대단히 어렵다. 이러한 문제의 해결을 위하여 비디오 데이타를 구조화하는 동영상 내용 편집 도구(Authoring Tool for Video Contents)를 제안했었다. 본 논문에서는 동영상 내용 편집 도구의 연구를 확장하여, 이러한 구조화된 데이타를 이용하여 원하는 부분을 쉽게 볼 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 검색을 위한 주석의 내용까지 보여줌으로써 사용자에게 효율적으로 제공할 수 있는 브라우징을 제안한다. 메타데이타가 저장된 XML파일을 이용하여 플렉스 솔루션으로 구현하였다. 즉, 웹 어플리케이션에 플래시를 도입시킨 것으로 플래시 플레이어(Flash Player)가 동작한다면 운영체제, 브라우저, 디바이스에 대해 독립적으로 실행될 수 있으며, 인터넷 익스플로어, 파이어 폭스, PDA, 핸드폰, 위성 단말기 등 어디에서든지 인터넷으로 같은 어플리케이션을 공유할 수 있는 환경을 제공할 수 있다.

정보기술은 통신 및 멀티미디어 기술의 발전에 힘입어 빠르게 발전되고 있으며, 이에 따른 데이타베이스의 기술이 공간데이타, XML, 비디오, 음성과 같은 다양한 멀티미디어 데이터 분야에 적용되고 있다. 비디오 데이타는 순차적인 특성을 가지며, 시간과 공간정보가 결합된 3차원 데이타로서 처리시간이 높은 작업이기 때문에 검색이나 브라우징이 대단히 비효율적이다. 본 논문에서는 비주얼리듬을 이용하여 비디오 데이타에서 대표 프레임(Key Frame)을 추출한 다음 XML을 이용한 태그 및 키워드 정보를 대표 프레임에 삽입하여 검색이나 브라우징을 할 수 있는 동영상 내용편집 도구(Authoring Tool for Video Contents)를 제안한다. 비주얼리듬은 3차원의 시공간적인 정보를 2차원으로 매핑한 정보로 IDCT(inverse Discrete Cosine Transform)과정 없이 픽셀 정보를 얻을 수 있어 처리속도가 빠르며 컷, 와이프, 디졸브 등의 편집효과를 효과적으로 구분할 수 있다. 그리고 XML 데이타에는 태그 및 정보와 함께 대표 프레임의 정보까지 저장되므로 유사 화면 검색이나 내용 기반 검색을 제공할 수 있다.

Allocation of computing resources is a crucial issue when dealing with a huge number of tasks to be completed according to a given deadline and cost constraints. The task scheduling to several resources (e.g. grid, cloud or a supercomputer) with different characteristics is not trivial, especially if a trade-off in terms of time and cost is considered. We propose an allocation approach able to fulfill the given requirements about time and cost through the use of optimizing techniques and an adaptive behavior. Simulated productions of tasks have been run in order to evaluate the characteristics of the proposed approach.
