Many sensor network applications have been developed for smart home, disaster management, and a wide range of other applications. These applications, however, generally assume a fixed base station as well as fixed sensor nodes. Previous research on sensor networks mainly focused on efficient transmission of data from sensors to fixed sink nodes. Recently there has been active research on mobile sink nodes, sink mobility is one of the most comprehensive trends for information gathering in sensor networks, but the research of an environment where both fixed sink nodes and mobile sinks are present at the same time is rather scarce. This paper proposes a scheme for context-aware by ubiquitous devices with the sink functionality added through fixed sinks under a previously-built, cluster-based multi-hop sensor network environment. To this end, clustering of mobile devices were done based on the fixed sinks of a previously-built sensor network, and by using appropriate fixed sinks, context gathering was made possible. By mathematical comparison with TTDD routing protocol, which was proposed for mobile sinks, it was confirmed that performance increases by average 50% in energy with the number of mobile sinks, and with the number of movements by mobile devices.

기존의 센서네트워크의 연구는 센서에서 센싱된 데이터가 무선 센서네트워크를 통해서 효율적으로 정지싱크노드로 전달되는 연구가 주를 이루었다. 최근 이동성을 갖는 싱크노드의 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있지만 정지 싱크노드와 이동 싱크노드가 혼재하는 환경에 대한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 기 구축된 클러스터 기반 다중홉 센서네트워크 환경에서 이동싱크들이 정지 싱크를 이용하여 데이터 수집이 가능한 기법을 제안한다. 이를 위해서 이동싱크들이 기존에 구축되어진 센서네트워크의 정지 싱크를 중심으로 클러스터링 되고 해당 정지 싱크를 이용하여 상황정보 수집이 가능하도록 하였다. 기존에 모바일 싱크를 위해 제안되었던 TTDD 라우팅 프로토콜과 비교하여 수학적 분석을 통해, 이동싱크의 수가 많아지거나 이동싱크의 이동횟수가 많아 질수록 더 우수한 성능을 보임을 확인하였다

Effective information gathering and retrieval of the most relevant web documents on the topic of interest is difficult due to the large amount of information that exists in various formats. Current information gathering and retrieval techniques are unable to exploit semantic knowledge within documents in the "big data" environment; therefore, they cannot provide precise answers to specific questions. Existing commercial big data analytic platforms are restricted to a single data type; moreover, different big data analytic platforms are effective at processing different data types. Therefore, the development of a common big data platform that is suitable for efficiently processing various data types is needed. Furthermore, users often possess more than one intelligent device. It is therefore important to find an efficient preference profile construction approach to record the user context and personalized applications. In this way, user needs can be tailored according to the user's dynamic interests by tracking all devices owned by the user.

In this article we address some system characteristics and challenging issues in developing Context-aware Middleware for Ubiquitous Computing. The functionalities of a Context-aware Middleware includes gathering context data from hardware/software sensors, reasoning and inferring high-level context data, and disseminating/delivering appropriate context data to interested applications/services. The Middleware should facilitate the query, aggregation, and discovery for the contexts, as well as facilities to specify their privacy policy. Following a formal context model using ontology would enable syntactic and semantic interoperability, and knowledge sharing between different domains. Moddleware should also provide different kinds of context classification mechanical as pluggable modules, including rules written in different types of logic (first order logic, description logic, temporal/spatial logic, fuzzy logic, etc.) as well as machine-learning mechanical (supervised and unsupervised classifiers). Different mechanisms have different power, expressiveness and decidability properties, and system developers can choose the appropriate mechanism that best meets the reasoning requirements of each context. And finally, to promote the context-trigger actions in application level, it is important to provide a uniform and platform-independent interface for applications to express their need for different context data without knowing how that data is acquired. The action could involve adapting to the new environment, notifying the user, communicating with another device to exchange information, or performing any other task.

There are a variety of users and devices in a context-aware computing environment. In this environment, the service provided to a user may be the composition of diverse services rather than one independent service. Before user's devices provide the composite service to the user, they should perceive user's needs by gathering related information segments from other surrounding devices and/or sensors. We consider a context-aware computing environment providing composite and adapted service to users and propose an information processing model that characterizes the device where the collected data should be processed through services and/or applications. Based on this model, we provide an analytical tool to obtain some performance measures of the context-aware computing environment.

In this paper, we propose a user-centric conflict management method for media services which exploits personal companions for the harmonious detection and resolution of service conflicts. To detect conflicts based on the varying characteristics of individual users, the proposed method exploits the unified context describing all users attempting to access media services. It recommends and mediates users' preferred media contents through a shared screen and personal companions to resolve the detected conflicts. During the recommendation, a list of preferred media contents is displayed on the shared screen, and a personally preferred content list is shown on the user's personal companion comprising the selection of media contents. Mediation assists the selection of a consensual service by gathering the users' selections and highlighting the common media contents. In experiments carried out in a ubiHome, we observed that recommendations and mediation are useful in harmoniously resolving conflicts by encouraging user participation in conflict situations.

컨텍스트 인식은 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서 사용자의 주변환경과 상태에 따라 양질의 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 중요한 요소이다. 컨텍스트 인식을 위한 정보 수집 도구로는 이동이 편리한 소형 모바일 장치와 그 안에 내장된 모바일 에이전트를 이용하고 있다. 현재 모바일 에이전트는 각 사용자의 컨텍스트 정보를 수집하고 인식하는데 많은 시간과 비용이 소모되고 있다. 이에 모바일 에이전트의 부하를 줄이고, 빠른 시간내에 사용자의 컨텍스트 정보 인식을 위한 구조에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 모바일 에이전트에 협력적 필터링 기법과 P2P 에이전트를 혼합한 P2P 모바일 에이전트 구조를 제안한다. 제안한 구조는 동일 지역내에서 각 사용자의 컨텍스트 정보를 분석하고, 비슷한 선호도를 갖는 사용자들로 그룹핑하며, 그룹핑된 사용자는 P2P 모바일 에이전트를 이용하여 정보를 공유한다. 또한 이 구조는 사용자들의 행위와 서비스를 지속적으로 관찰 및 학습하여 새로운 상관 관계를 측정하도록 하였다.

Evaluation in both an art and a science. The art of evaluation involves working with the management to agree upon purpose and users of results, creating design and gathering information that are appropriate for a specific situation and a particular policy making context. The value of evaluating extension p개grams has received a lot of attentions recently, and many extension educations see evaluation as an integral part of their work. The science of evaluation involves determining standards and developing indicatiors, selecting methods appropriate to gather information in a systematic way, analyzing information to assist in determining the value of the program in an objective manner. First, extension specialists have to consider relative merits about methods of gathering evaluation data. Selection of method should be influenced by the type of information desired, time availability, and cost of using the method. Second, good evaluations involve stakeholders at all stages including planning, implementation, and utilization of results. Third, far from being an "add-on ," evaluation begins with the initial planning of an educational program. Fourth, it is important for extension specialists that although evaluation is valuable and essential in any effective program, one of the biggest mistakes of extension program evaluators in to promise results that cannot possibly solve all the problems of project.

본 연구에서는 정보 수집을 기반으로 멀티미디어 서비스의 QoS를 효과적으로 지원하기 위한 모니터링 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 모니터링을 통하여 가입자 단말기는 자신의 현재 상태 및 주변 기지국 정보를 수집하고, 기지국은 내부 및 인접한 기지국 모니터링으로 수집된 정보를 통하여, 관련 제어 데이터를 공유하고 이를 종합 분석하여 QoS를 자체적으로 조절/제어하는 방법을 연구한다. 모니터링은 단말기 및 기지국의 상태 정보 변화에 따라 관련 기능의 설정을 동적으로 제어하고, 각각의 기능들이 변화에 적응하여 조정되고 재구성하는 과정을 주고받으면서 각 기능들이 상호 작용하게 된다. 이러한 동작들이 서비스 연속성을 만족시키는 방향으로 이루어진다.
