In this research paper, We have proposed an interpretation structure concerned with context-awareness which is essential to provide intelligent service. The proposed model has an interpretation structure that integrated information of both external and internal context, and been designed to keep independency between context information and application service. To verify the interpretation structure that proposed, we established a test bed (Ubi-Class) in which the concept of context awareness has been introduced to the existing class room, and constituted a scenario, and tested whether intelligent service is performed according to context interpretation.

Ubiquitous computing is a vision of our future computing lifestyle in which computer systems seamlessly integrate into our everyday lives, providing services and information in anywhere and anytime fashion. Augmented reality (AR) can naturally complement ubiquitous computing by providing an intuitive and collaborative visualization and simulation interface to a three-dimensional information space embedded within physical reality. This paper presents a service framework and its applications for providing context-aware u-car maintenance services using augmented reality, which can support a rich set of ubiquitous services and collaboration. It realizes bi-augmentation between physical and virtual spaces using augmented reality. It also offers a context processing module to acquire, interpret and disseminate context information. In particular, the context processing module considers user's preferences and security profile for providing private and customer-oriented services. The prototype system has been implemented to support 3D animation, TTS (Text-to-Speech), augmented manual, annotation, and pre- and post-augmentation services in ubiquitous car service environments.

In general, recommendation systems quantify real-time context information obtained in the stage of collaborative filtering and use quantified context information in order to recommend services. But the recommendation systems can have problems of recommending inaccurate information because of lack of context information or classifying users into inaccurate groups because of simple classification works in the stage of quantification. In this paper, we solved the problems of lack of context information obtained in real-time by combining users' profile information used in the contents-based filtering and context information obtained in real-time. In addition, we tried collaborative filtering at the quantification stage by improving absolute classification methods to relative ones. As the result of experiments, this method improved prediction preference by 5.8% than real-time recommendation systems using context information in pure P2P environment.

Context-aware systems require sensor data collecting model and context representing model to provide user-demand services. Sensor data collecting model consists of sensor access information, sensor value, and definition of value types. Context representing model involves certain keywords to symbolize environmental information including the field from sensor data collecting model that is described in markup language such as XML. However, duplicated keywords could be assigned to different contextual information by service developers. As a result, the system may cause misunderstanding and misleading wrong situational information from unintended contextual information. In this paper, we propose a context classification model for collecting appropriate access information and defining the specification of context.

In these days, the use of context in application running on mobile devices such as PDAs and smart Phone has become a crucial requirement for several research areas, including ubiquitous computing. mobile computing. Previous middlewares which support context provisioning uses single strategy. But, this paper proposed middleware integrated multiple strategies for context provisioning, namely internal sensors-based, external infrastructure-based, and distributed provisioning in ad hoc networks. Applications can query needed context items using SQL like context query language and require context information to use different provisioning mechanisms depending on resource availability and presence of external infrastructures.

Context-awareness as a key technology of ubiquitous computing needs a context model that understands and processes situational information coming from diverse sensors and devices, and can be applied diversely in various domains. Semantic web based ontologies use structured standard format and express meaning of information, so it is possible to recognize effectively context-awareness situations, allowing the system to share information and understand situation by inference. In this paper, we propose a layered ontology model to support generality and scaleability of the context-awareness system, and applied the model to u-Convention domain. In addition, we propose a effective reasoning method to handle compound situation by combining OWL-DL and SWRL rules.

유비쿼터스 환경에서 사용자의 편의성을 증대하기 위해 상황인지 기술이 필요하며 댁내의 다양한 기기의 정보를 수집하여 현재 상태를 파악하고 그에 맞는 서비스를 제공해야 한다. 하지만 다양한 종류의 디바이스, 센서, 서비스에 따라 생성하는 데이터의 형태와 의미가 다르기 때문에 이를 활용하는데 어려움이 있다. 본 논문은 다양한 기기와 환경에서 발생하는 데이터를 처리하여 사용자의 패턴을 수집하고 활용할 수 있는 연구 모델을 제안하고 구현한다. 구성요소는 실제 환경과 유사하게 Context를 생성할 수 있는 Emulator와 수집된 Context를 활용하여 패턴을 찾는 패턴 수집 서버와 수집된 데이터를 표현하는 시각화 도구로 구성된다. Emulator는 댁내에 존재할 수 있는 다양한 종류의 Context를 정의하고 서로간의 관계에 따라 Context를 생성하고 패턴 수집 서버는 Emulator에서 생성한 불완전한 Context를 통합하여 완전한 Context를 생성한다. 그리고 생성된 Context를 통해서 사용자의 서비스 이용패턴, Fault, Conflict를 발견했다.

차세대 비젼 컴퓨팅 환경인 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅(Ubiquitous Computing)환경에서는 사용자에 대한 상황(context)변화에 적응적(adaptive)으로 서비스 해줄 수 있는 응용이 필수적인 요소라고 할 수 있다. Service기반의 분산 네트워크인 JINI를 기반으로, 사용자에 대한 상황을 인식(context-aware)하기 위한 시스템 연구 역시 관심의 대상이라고 한 수 있겠다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 환경을 기반으로 사용자에 대한 행동, 감정상태, 위치와 같은 정보를 인식할 수 있으며, 검색을 통해 사용자의 위치정보, 활동형태 등의 context들을 질의 할 수 있는 Context-aware 챗팅 프로그램을 기술하고 있다. 또한 인터페이스를 사용하는 사용자들에 대한 context 데이터의 표현과 질의를 위해 메타언어인 eXtensible Makup Language (XML)을 사용하였다. 이러한 context-aware system은 편재형 컴퓨팅환경 하에서 사용자에게 유효한 context를 생성 및 관리, 응용 서비스에서 유용하게 이용할 수 있을 것이다.

Current context-aware applications In ubiquitous computing environments make the assumption that the context they are dealing with is correct. However, in reality, both sensed and interpreted context informations are often uncertain or imperfect. In this paper, we propose a probability extension model to ontology-based model for rep resenting uncertain contexts and use Bayesian networks to resolve about uncertainty of context informations. The proposed model can support the development and operation of various context-aware services, which are required in the ubiquitous computing environment.

In ubiquitous computer environment, by improving the computer's access to context information for dynamic service adaptation, we can increase richness of communication in human computer interaction and make it possible to produce more useful computational services. We need new data structure in order to flexible apply dynamic information to current context information repository and enhance the communication ability between human and computer. In this paper, we proposed to C-A-V (Category-Attribute-Value) context metadata structure required to support dynamic service adaptation for increasing communication ability in user-centric environments. We also classify the context metadata, as well as define its relationship with other context information on the basis of the application services, changes in the external environments.
