Recently major developed countries such as U.S. and EU selected u-health as future growth engine industry, and concentrated their capabilities. Major companies all around the world entered this u-health business, too. Most of the research in this field have confined their research focus on the elementary technologies for infrastructure building. This research systematically investigates u-health business models with various objectives in various sub-fields. For this purpose, the value chain of u-health industry is analyzed, and then various business model cases are explored all around the world. Finally, the future changes possible to occur in the life insurance industries are analyzed.

The purpose of this paper is to describe and understand the lived experiences of older learners in formal education offered in an online university. Applying qualitative research methods, this paper attempts to explore the interpretation and meanings of their college studying. Ten participants in this study were selected from older students aged over 60 who had studied or were studying in a cyber university and lived in Seoul and its metropolitan area for more readily accessible and available for in-depth interviews. After the final analysis of learning experiences of older adults in an online university, six main themes were identified: self in the past, breaking from the convention, struggling with the new challenges, attaining self-actualization, integrating a new identity, future-oriented self. Finally it appears that learning experiences of the learners enabled the participants to replace their past-oriented sense of self with a more positive, future-oriented version.

This paper investigates how airline service quality determines airline image and passengers' future behavioural intentions. To investigate the effect of airline service quality, Structural Equation Modeling using a maximum likelihood estimator, was applied to data collected from Korean international air passengers who have used Korean Airlines, Asiana Airlines, and other foreign airline. It was found that there were significant relationships between the variables. The dimension of in-flight service and the dimension of customer and flight related service were each found to have a positive effect on airline image. In addition, airline image had a significant positive influence on Korean international air passengers' future behavioural intentions.

Although the current VoIP service is limited within the wire network, the future network will be a united network of wire/wireless. It is required that the study on the granting plan of numbering system by not considering the simple VoIP service but considering the entire network of wire/wireless. In this paper, we proposed a desirable VoIP service activation plan in mobile network suited to the future network by considering on VoIP service and mobile VoIP service.

With the development of information communication technology, the demands for various, profound and advanced information on science and technology and the necessity for establishing science and technology information infrastructure with the aim of future oriented industry are ever increasing. Advanced countries are providing material property DB as well as bibliographic DB though the Internet. Establishment and dissemination of bibliographic DB at domestic is properly settled but research on material property DB is much to be desired. Accordingly, development and research on material property DB to construct the information infrastructure in science and technology are highly necessary. In this study, we have developed superconducting materials property DB which is highly advanced industry field in future. We provide the thermal and mechanical, and superconducting property data for oxide superconductors, and the database is designed by bibliographic information, material information and material property information section.

Recently, with the market of smart phones slowing down, more attention is paid to wearable devices. It was suggested that 2013 was the "year of the smart watch", due to that the majority of major consumer electronics manufacturers were undertaking work on a smart watch device. However there are still many issues on the interaction and interface design of smart watches. This study reviewed related literatures and evaluated the interaction methods, interface and content design of current smart watches. Based on that, future research directions were proposed. The research results have significant meanings for the guidance of future directions of smart watch.

The Internet is being used in daily life, information literacy for the aged is become necessary. For the aged, they can communicate with different age groups and can improve their lives as a component of the society through information literacy. In this paper, we first analyze the computer class of Gumi Senior Welfare Center of Gyeongsangbuk-Do and then present the questionnaire including their needs for education and their changes after receiving information literacy. We also give the future direction of information literacy for the aged. The results of this paper will be useful to improve the lives of the local aged.

This study is about projection methods in computer games that support graphic user interface. Most of previous studies were case studies on or aesthetic approaches to a specific projection method. We investigated projection methods observed in computer games according to the chronicle of games, and studied changes in the methods and their future direction. Furthermore, we examined the emotional and productive aspects of various projection methods, and found that projection methods in computer games are being developed in accordance with graphic designers' job difficulty and computer processing capacity. Project, which determines contents consumers' view, is a very important factor to be decided at the planning stage of contents development. In this sense, we expect the results of this study to make a contribution to relevant areas.

Once the objective of project is set up to alter the present situation to acertain future situation necessary measures need to be taken to accomplish it. In the past, making a plan and transformation was done in the form of handwork, but this article addresses analyzing and handing the project data by using a tool of Microsoft Office System and then by making a reasonable plan. This system also helps transform project data into Excel data and analyze it using Excel, and transform project data into xml data and construct xml database so that it makes it possible to handle and use data efficiently, and to set up automatic project system in the future which leads to efficient project management.

In the last decades, inter-networking technologies advanced more rapidly than any other field. Today, the Internet is one of the most important infrastructure to society as becoming an indispensible tool of people and companies. During mid-1990's, developed countries recognized the advanced network as a basic infrastructure for the future science and technology development. They developed national research and education networks for the development of future science and network technology. In this paper, we made a comprehensive review of global research and education network developments. We also made analysis of Korea's activities on advanced network comparing with those of developed nations, then suggested approaches to improve Korean advanced networks.
