Context-aware engineering services in ubiquitous environments are emerging as a viable alternative to traditional engineering services. Most of the previous approaches are computer-centered rather than human-centered. In this paper, we present a Ubiquitous and Context-Aware computing Framework for collaborative virtual Engineering $(U-CAF\acute{E})$ services. The proposed approach utilizes BPEL-based (Business Process Execution Language) process templates for engineering service orchestration and choreography and adopts semantic web-based context-awareness for providing human-centered engineering services. The paper discusses how to utilize engineering contexts and share this knowledge in support of collaborative virtual engineering services and service interfaces. The paper also discusses how Web services and JINI (Java Intelligent Network Infrastructure) services are utilized to support engineering service federations and seamless Interactions among persons, devices, and various kinds of engineering services.

The opening of ubiquitous computing era prompted rapid increase in information transfer between human and computer. Such changes in computing environment requires new computing interface. In this paper, we develop a user interface prototype and framework using Avatar in Ubiquitous computing environment, which can support an active communication between human and computer based on context information. To develop the new interface, its conceptual framework with specific context information is designed in advance. In addition, this study suggests the future goal of user interface using Avatar by suggesting the requirements of constructed prototype.

Context-aware technologies have become the one of core technologies for intelligent urban geospatial services in ubiquitous computing environment. To provide context-aware intelligent services, various technologies including for context-aware modelling, context-aware sensing and context-aware service middleware are required. Among them, especially, ontologies are very useful for modelling, interpreting and reasoning context informations across various domains. In this research, the recent trends of context-awareness technologies and ontologies are reviewed to build a conceptual architecture for intelligent urban geospatial services. Considering it, the strategies of intelligent urban geospatial services are proposed.

It is important to manage access control for secure ubiquitous applications. In this paper, we present an access-control system for executing policy file which includes access control rules. We implemented Context-aware Access Control Manager(CACM) based on Java Context-Awareness Framework(JCAF) which provides infrastructure and API for creating context-aware applications. CACM controls accesses to method call based on the access control rules in the policy file. We also implemented a support tool to help programmers modify incorrect access control rules using static analysis information, and a simulator for simulating ubiquitous applications. We describe simulation results for several ubiquitous applications.

In the IT convergence environment changed with not only the quality but also the material abundance, it is the most crucial factor for the strategy of personalized recommendation services to investigate the context information. In this paper, we proposed the recommendation using the service ontology based context awareness modeling. The proposed method establishes a data acquisition model based on the OSGi framework and develops a context information model based on ontology in order to perform the device environment between different kinds of systems. In addition, the context information will be extracted and classified for implementing the recommendation system used for the context information model. This study develops the ontology based context awareness model using the context information and applies it to the recommendation of the collaborative filtering. The context awareness model reflects the information that selects services according to the context using the Naive Bayes classifier and provides it to users. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, we conducted sample T-tests so as to verify usefulness. This evaluation found that the difference of satisfaction by service was statistically meaningful, and showed high satisfaction.

The context-aware retrieval method is one of the fundamental characteristics in ubiquitous computing. The essential aims of context-aware retrieval method are retrieving relevant information and delivering information quickly. We propose a new method that retrieves relevant information and delivers information quickly using characteristics of levelized contexts. We extract rules and recommendation information in the near future using context values and rules. Then we prefetch recommendation information in very near future using access score. Our method retrieves relevant information and deliver information quickly by storing only recommendation information to be needed in near future using the characteristics of levelized contexts.

Recently, there are many researches to realize context-awareness service that recognizes surrounding environments as context and provide the citizens with pervasive convenience based on ubiquitous computing technology. In the u-City, various sensors collect information as context, and citizens will receive various context-awareness service, making use of their wireless and mobile devices and the infrastructures of the u-City. We designed ontology that is useful to structure information of sensor or device that is linked to networks and use OWL (Web Ontology Language) that can express information of mutual relation and partial situation. And we propose a context-aware reasoning system for personalized u-City services based on collected context information and user's intention.

Some context is characterized by a single event in computing environment, but many other contexts are determined by a lot of things which occur with a space and a time. The Realtime Sensor Network context-awareness service that interacts with the physical space can have property such as time. A methodology that is specified the relationship between the contexts and the service needs to be developed to Realtime context-awareness deal with spatio-temporal. In this paper, we propose an approach which should include spatio-temporal property in the context model, and verify its effectiveness using enhanced Petri-Net. The context-awareness service modeling of Realtime Sensor Network is discussed the properties of model such as basic Petri-Net, patterned Petri-Net, or Spatio-temporal Petri-Net. The proposed methodology demonstrated using an example that is SAEMANGUEM warming watching system. The use of Spatio-temporal Petri-Net will contribute not only to develop the application but also to model the spatio-temporal context awareness.

본 논문에서는 분산된 관리대상의 시스템자원과 사용자정보, 사용패턴을 Context로 수집하여, 구성(Configuration)을 수행하는 적응형 자가관리시스템을 제안한다. 본 시스템은 기존에 수동으로 이루어지던 Configuration 작업들 (Install, Reconfiguration, Update)을 자율적으로 수행하여, 사용자의 시스템관리에 대한 부담을 줄여주게 되며, 많은 비용과 오류를 감소시켜준다. 본 시스템은 수집된 Context 정보를 기반으로 사용자의 환경에 맞는 구성요소를 선택하여 설치하게 되며, 사용자의 기존 애플리케이션의 환경설정과 사용패턴을 기반으로, 보다 개인화된 설정을 해준다. 설정 이후에는 사용자의 행동을 암시적 피드백으로 받아, 이를 학습하고 유사한 상황이 다시 발생할 경우, 이를 다음 행동에 반영한다. 그리고 기존에 중앙서버로부터 일률적으로 관련파일을 전송하고 관리하는 중앙집중배포방식의 여러 문제점에 대응하기 위해 Peer-to-Peer 방식으로 파일을 카피하고, 이를 통해 중앙서버의 과부하를 줄이는 동시에 빠른 파일의 배포가 가능하도록 하였다. 본 시스템의 평가를 위해 프로토타입을 구현하여, 기존 수동 Configuration작업, MS-IBM과 같은 관련시스템과의 비교를 수행하였으며, 기능적 측면과 작업에 소요되는 시간에 대한 비교결과를 통해 본 시스템의 유효성을 증명하였다.

유비쿼터스(Ubiquitous) 환경은 인간이 생활하는 각종 기기들이 컴퓨팅 능력과 네크워킹 능력을 가지고 상호간에 정보를 교환하며 서비스를 제공하는 것을 말한다. 이러한 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서 사용자의 감정, 상태 또는 의도에 기반하여 특화된 서비스를 지능적으로 제공하기 위해서 사용자의 컨텍스트-인식(Context-Awareness)이 필수적이나 이와 관련된 연구가 아직은 미흡한 상황이다. 본 논문에서는 인식된 여러 가지 상황정보를 체계적으로 표현할 수 있고, 최종 컨텍스트를 활용하여 사용자의 감정이나 의도를 분석하고 개인화된 서비스를 능동적으로 제공하는 지능형 에이전트 구조를 제안한다.
