LBS must manage various context data and make the best use of this data for application service in ubiquitous environment. Conventional mobile object data management architecture did not consider process of context data. Therefore a new mobile data management framework is needed to process location context data. In this paper, we design a new context management framework for a location based application service. A suggestion framework is consisted of context collector, context manager, rule base, inference engine, and mobile object context database. It describes a form of rule base and a movement process of inference engine that are based on location based application scenario. It also presents an embodiment instance of interface which suggested framework is applied to location context interference of mobile object.

The advance of wireless telecommunication and observation technologies leads developing sensor and sensor network for serving the context information continuously. Besides, in order to understand and cope with the context awareness based on the sensor network, it is becoming important issue to deal with plentiful data transmitted from various sensors. Therefore, we propose a context awareness system to deal with the plentiful sensor data in a vast area such as the prevention of a forest fire, the warning system for detecting environmental pollution, and the analysis of the traffic information, etc. The proposed system consists of the context acquisition to collect and store various sensor data, the knowledge base to keep context information and context log, the rule manager to process context information depending on user defined rules, and the situation information manager to analysis and recognize the context, etc. The proposed system is implemented for managing renewable energy data management transmitted from a large scale area.

Sensors used in many USN (Ubiquitous Sensor Network) domain applications generate a large amount of sensor stream data. The volume of sensor stream data is too huge to store the whole data and data speed is too fast to control each of them. In order to provide rapid and reliable context analysis service over sensor stream data, we propose a WHEN-DO context analysis model that supports the functionality of sliding window. This model is designed to be used as follows: If the sensor stream data satisfies condition in 'WHEN' clause, then it will execute actions in 'DO' clause in WHEN-DO context analysis model. The proposed WHEN-DO context analysis model can be applied to many other USN environment applications such as monitoring the status of a building and then taking actions in corresponding context condition.

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.

센서로부터 획득되는 데이터 스트림들 중에 특히 이동 객체에 대한 공간 정보를 담은 데이터 스트림은 상황 인지의 여러 응용 분야에 매우 유용하다. 하지만, 실시간으로 공간 스트림을 처리하는 것과 공간 상황 인지를 위한 복잡한 연산 처리 사이에는 중요한 기능적인 격차가 존재하는데, 이는 공간 스트림 처리와 상황 인지를 통합하는데 매우 큰 어려움을 준다. 본 논문에서는, 공간 스트림 처리와 공간 상황 인지 사이에 존재하는 기능적인 격차를 해결하기 위한 공간 데이터 스트림 처리 시스템인 SCONSTREAM(Spatial CONtext STREAm Management)를 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 시스템은 불필요한 공간 데이터 스트림을 전처리하고 상황 인지에 용이한 형태로 가공한다. 실험을 통해, 본 시스템이 공간 스트림 처리와 공간 상황 인지 사이에 존재하는 기능적인 격차를 해소할 수 있음을 보인다.

본 논문에서는 계층적 클러스터 구조에서 속도, 방향 등의 속성정보를 예측하여 연결성을 분석하는 EPCM(Efficient Prediction-based Context-awareness Matrix) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존 DTN에서는 제한 없는 중계노드 선정으로 인한 지연시간이 증가하고, 제한적인 저장용량 및 처리능력의 한계로 패킷손실 및 오버헤드가 발생한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 클러스터의 속성정보를 주어진 매트릭으로부터 정의하고 예측하여 베이스스테이션과의 연결성에 따라 중계노드를 선정하는 EPCM 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 클러스터의 속성정보를 상황정보 매트릭스에 저장 및 분석하고, 적응적 보정가중치의 오차보정으로 클러스터의 속성정보를 예측한다. 또한 예측된 속성정보에 따른 연결성으로 베이스스테이션을 향하여 이동하는 중계노드를 선정하게 된다. 주어진 환경에 따른 모의실험에서 예측된 노드의 속성정보를 통한 연결성으로 중계노드를 선정함으로써 전송능력을 비교 분석한 결과 높은 패킷 전송률을 보여주었다.

Recently, a smart space with Ubiquitous Environment is expanding rapidly due to the development of Ubiquitous Sensor Network. Therefore, more appropriate and intelligent services of the context awareness system is being required. The previous context awareness system can provide a service to the user through the inference only on the current situation. But, it does not handle certain situation properly when the system provides abnormal result. Also it does not have any proper method of generating reliable semantic data from sensed raw data. In this paper, we are trying to solve the problems as the following approaches. First, the system recognizes abnormal result and corrects it by learning feedback from the user. Second, we suggest a method of converting sensed data into more reliable semantic data. Third, we build the system based on an Ontological context model that is capable of interoperability and reusability. Therefore, the context awareness system of our study can enhance the previous system that can generate more reliable context data, can provide more effective inference method, and can provide more intelligent system structure.

A probability-based data generation is a typical context-generation method that is a not only simple and strong data generation method but also easy to update generation conditions. However, the probability-based context-generation method has been found its natural-born ambiguousness and confliction problems in generated context data. In order to compensate for the disadvantages of the probabilistic random data generation method, a situation propagation network is proposed in this paper. The situation propagating network is designed to update parameters of probability functions are included in probability-based data generation model. The proposed probability-based context-generation model generates two kinds of contexts: one is related to independent contexts, and the other is related to conditional contexts. The results of the proposed model are compared with the results of the probabilitybased model with respect to performance, reduction of ambiguity, and confliction.

변화하는 연속적인 데이터가 대량으로 유입되는 스트림 형태의 센서 데이터에 대한 분석은 궁극적으로 상황인식에 도달할 수 있어야 한다. 본 연구에서 가변적이며 연속적으로 입수되는 센서 데이터 스트림을 분석하여 상황을 추론하는 방안을 제안한다. 연속적인 스트림 형태를 가지는 센서 데이터를 분류하기 위하여 센서로 부터 보내온 각 센서 데이터에 내포된 값들을 평가하고, 시간에 따른 변화를 토대로 신뢰도를 계산하였다. 각 데이터들이 구성하는 상황요인을 설정하였고 각 요인들의 변화를 추정할 수 있도록 함으로써 상황 추론이 가능함을 보였다.

In this paper, we design a middleware for context-awareness which provides compound contexts from diverse sensors on a mobile device. Until now, most of context-aware application developers have taken responsibility for context processing from sensing data. Such application-level context processing causes heavily redundant data processing and leads to significant resource waste in energy as well as computing. In the proposed scheme, we define primitive and compound context map which consists of relavant sensors and features. Based on the context definition, each application demands a context of interest to the middleware, and thus similar context-aware applications inherently share context information and procesing within the middleware. We show that the proposed scheme significantly reduces the resource amounts of cpu, memory, and battery, and that the performance gain gets much more when multiple applications which need similar contexts are running.
