In this paper we suggest a context-driven configuration model of virtual businesses to form a business network model consisting of role-based, interaction-centered business partners. The model makes use of the subcontext concept which explicitly represents actors and interactions in virtual business (VB) context. We separate actors who have capacities on tasks in a specific kind of role and actor subcontext which models requirements in specific interaction subcontext. Three kinds of actors are defined in virtual service chains, service user, service provider, and external service supporter. Interaction subcontext models a service exchange process between two actor subcontexts with consideration of context dependencies like task and quality dependencies. Each subcontext may be modeled in the form of a situation network which consists of a finite set of situation nodes and transitions. A specific situation is given in a corresponding context network of actors and interactions. It is illustrated with a simple example.

In this paper, we present a practical place and object recognition method for guiding visitors in building environments. Recognizing places or objects in real world can be a difficult problem due to motion blur and camera noise. In this work, we present a modeling method based on the bidirectional interaction between places and objects for simultaneous reinforcement for the robust recognition. The unification of visual context including scene context, object context, and temporal context is also. The proposed system has been tested to guide visitors in a large scale building environment (10 topological places, 80 3D objects).

Most researches on word sense disambiguation have used static sized context regardless of sentence patterns. This paper proposes to use dynamic sized context considering sentence patterns and distance between words for word sense disambiguation. We evaluated our system 12 words in 32,735sentences with Sejong POS and sense tagged corpus, and dynamic sized context showed 92.2% average accuracy for predicates, which is better than accuracy of static sized context.

In real-time embedded systems, the responsibility is the most important thing because it is related to human life. Context switching is a part of which can slow down the responsibility. We therefore should minimize the amount of state that needs to be saved during context switching. In this paper, we introduce a new architecture (Register Farm) for context switching which can exchange two contexts in one cycle time. Although it might increase the cost of MCU design and the complexity of circuit, it cannot miss any interrupt during context switching. Consequently, Register Farm architecture can make embedded systems spread out in human life because it can increase reliability and responsibility in real time embedded systems.

Based on concepts of human ecology, this study explored how diverse systems- cultural setting, work context and maternal perception- shape paternal involvement in child care. For this purpose, I compared Korean fathers (n=93) and Korean sojourner fathers in the United States (n=129). Hypothesized structural equation model explaining direct and indirect relationships among variables was developed. The results showed that cultural context had no direct relationship with paternal involvement. Cultural context showed indirect influence on paternal involvement through fathers' work context. Maternal perception, which had significant relationship with paternal involvement, was not explained by cultural context. However, it was significantly influenced by work context.

We address an integrated multimedia framework based on a software agent platform for context-aware multimedia computing. We adopt the FIPA (Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents) platform which provides agent communications and management mechanisms. In order to express context information, we use MPEG-21 metadata for describing user characteristics and usage environment. We encapsulate such context information as a FIPA message to be delivered between agents. Based on context information, appropriate multimedia content delivery becomes possible. We present our system implementation with a use case scenario and show that our proposed framework is effective for context-aware multimedia computing so that personalization of multimedia consumption can be possible.

Recently, Social Network services(SNS) is gaining popularity as Facebook and Twitter. Popularity of SNS leads to active service and social data is to be increased. Thus, social search is remarkable that provide more meaningful information to users. but previous studies using social network structure, network distance is calculated using only familiarity. It is familiar as distance on network, has been demonstrated through several experiments. If taking advantage of social context data that users are using SNS to produce, then familiarity will be helpful to evaluate further. In this paper, reflect user's attention through comments and tags, Facebook context is determined using familiarity between friends in SNS. Facebook context is advantageous finding a friend who has a similar propensity users in context of profiles and interests. As a result, we provide a blog post that interest with a close friend. We also assist in the retrieval facilities using Near Field Communication(NFC) technology. By the experiment, we show the proposed soicial search method is more effective than only tag.

유비쿼터스의 주요한 특성은 상황 인식(Context-Aware)이며 이것은 사용자의 시공간에 따라 변하는 데이터를 사용자가 직접 입력하지 않고 상황에 맞게 자동적으로 처리해 주는 것을 뜻한다. 그러나 이러한 유비쿼터스의 특성은 데이터의 보안이 취약할 경우 기존 컴퓨팅 환경보다 더 큰 문제를 가져올 수 있다. 한편, 미 벨 연구소에 의해 개발된 PCP(Privacy Conscious Personalization)는 모바일 및 유비쿼터스 환경에서 사용자의 프라이버시 문제에 Context-Aware의 특성을 반영해 준다. PCP는 위치 정보에 대한 요구를 받으면 Houdini로 명명된 Rule Engine을 작동시키며 현재의 상황 및 사용자의 설정을 고려하여 정보를 공개할지 여부를 결정한다. 또한, 네덜란드의 University of Twente는 P3P를 확장하는 P3P Extension과 상황-의존 Preference를 표현하는 XML 기반 언어를 개발하고 이를 바탕으로 WASP 플랫폼을 위한 아키텍쳐를 개발하였다. WASP Framework는 웹서비스 기반의 프라이버시 보호 아키텍쳐이며 사용자의 위치, 시간, 상태, 신원 등 다양한 Context 정보를 제공할 수 있다. 본고에서는 Location Context의 관점에서 Context Aware Computing 환경의 하나로 LBS 위치정보의 프라이버시 구조에 대한 두가지 사례 연구를 수행한다.

Ubiquitous Computing 환경은 컴퓨터 중심의 환경이 아닌 사용자가 편리성과 효율성이 극대화된 서비스들을 제공 받을 수 있는 사용자 중심의 환경이다. 이러한 환경에서 사용자들은 자신의 정보가 언제 어디서 사용되고 있고 어떠한 목적으로 유출되고 있는지 알기 어렵다. 따라서 사용자를 식별하고 개인의 특성에 따라 관련된 서비스를 제공하는데 있어 사용자의 필요정보를 적절하게 보호할 수 있는 메커니즘이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 Ubiquitous환경에서 특정목적에 국한된 서비스 제공이 아닌 다양한 목적에 따라 서비스가 제공될 수 있도록 사용자의 목적과 상황에 맞는 User Model을 제안하고자 한다. 또한 사용자의 상황에 맞는 Context Content를 구별하여 Privacy등급을 결정하고 사용자마다 독립적이고 안전한 Context-Aware Service를 제공하는 User Model은 사용자마다 정해진 정적 Context와 상황에 따라 변화하는 동적 Context를 모두 고려하여 높은 신뢰성과 안전성을 지닌 방법을 제공한다. 그리고 제안된 User Model의 정의와 시나리오를 설명한다.

Uncertainty in Context-aware computing is mainly a consequence of the complexity of context acquisition mechanisms and context processing. The presence of uncertainty may harm the users' confidence in the application, rendering it useless. This paper describes a three-phase strategy to manage uncertainty by identifying its possible sources, representing uncertain information, and determining how to proceed, once uncertain context is detected. The level of effort that is necessary to eliminate the uncertainty of context information affects the reliability of the system, because Sensor network system have no intervention of humans. In this paper, We applied proposed method to the development for the sensor network system, Uncertainty management can be applied a part of the system development life-cycle. It confirmed that result of testing show that detection performance is stable.
