As mobile devices prevail, requests for various services using mobile devices have increased. Requests for application services that require large data space such as multimedia, game and database [1] specifically have greatly increased. However, mobile appliances have difficulty in applying various services like a wire environment, because the storage capacity of one is not enough. Therefore, research (5) which provides remote storage service for mobile appliances using iSCSI is being conducted to overcome storage space limitations in mobile appliances. But, when iSCSI is applied to mobile appliances, iSCSI I/O performance drops rapidly if a iSCSI client moves from the server to a far away position. In the case of write operation, $28\%$ reduction of I/O performance occurred when the latency of network is 64ms. This is because the iSCSI has a structural quality that is very .sensitive to delay time. In this paper, we will introduce an intermediate target server and localize iSCSI target to improve the shortcomings of iSCSI performance dropping sharply as latency increases when mobile appliances recede from a storage server.

The mobile computing service market is increasing rapidly due to the development of low-cost wireless network technology and the high-performance mobile computing devices. In recent years, several methods have been proposed to effectively deal with restrictions of the mobile computing environment such as limited bandwidth, frequent disconnection and short-lived batteries. Amongst those methods, much study is being done on the caching method - among the data transmitted from a mobile support station, it selects those that are likely to be accessed in the near future and stores them in the local cache of a mobile host. Existing cache replacement methods have some limitations in efficiency because they do not take into consideration the characteristics of user mobility and spatial attributes of geographical data. In this paper, we show that the value and the semantic of the data, which are stored in the cache of a mobile host, changes according to the movement of the mobile host. We argue it is because data that are geographically near are better suited to provide an answer to a users query in the mobile environment. Also, we define spatial location of geographical data has effect on, using the spatial attributes of data. Finally, we propose two new cache replacement methods that efficiently support user mobility and spatial attributes of data. One is based on the location of data and the other on the meaningful region of data. From the comparative analysis of the previous methods and that they improve the cache hit ratio. Also we show that performance varies according to data density using this, we argue different cache replacement methods are required for regions with varying density of data.

In this paper, we present a scheduling method for real-time mobile transaction manager in mobile computing environment. The proposed method checks whether a transaction is executable or not. It is able to by considering not only the deadline of real-time data in mobile hosts. And then, it schedules the real-time mobile transactions by making optimal execution window based on the priority queue, while considering transaction value and deadline. Disconnection with mobile hosts is monitored in selecting the transaction for execution. Using the proposed method reduces the number of restarting times after transaction aborts which is caused by the violation of the validity constraints of real-time data. And in has merits of maximizing the sum of values of real-time mobile transactions which meet the deadline. The performance evaluation demonstrates that the number of committed real-time transactions within the deadline is improved by 20%. This method can be used in real-time mobile transaction manager is such environments as cellular communications, emergency medicine information system and so on.

Recently, owing to the development of ubiquitous sensor network and mobile communication technologies, many studies on healthcare system are being carried out. In this paper, we have designed and implemented a mobile u-Healthcare system based on sensor network. The u-Healthcare system is composed of three components: wireless sensor network at home, healthcare center located at remote site, and gateway which relays sensing physiological signals to healthcare center. In order to measure patient's physiological signal three sensors are used: three channel ECG sensor, pulse oximeter, and blood pressure sensor. Each sensor is mounted on a mote which can send gathered signal to the base node using Zigbee communication protocol. Once the base node receives physiological signal from each sensor, the client in the base node transfers the signal to the healthcare center. The received physiological signal at the healthcare center is analyzed and processed using various algorithms. The processed results are compared to the standard healthcare database and appropriate treatment including dietetics and exercise cure would be sent to the patient as feedback using SMS message or healthcare center web site. Each patient can check and manage one's health state every day using the healthcare system and gain a recovery under the treatments from minor health problems.

This paper presents a novel user interface system which aims at easy controlling of mobile devices. The fundamental concept of the proposed interface is to launch an appropriate function of the device by sensing and recognizing the grip-pattern when the user tries to use the mobile device. To this end, we develop a prototype system which employs capacitive touch sensors covering the housing of the system and a recognition algorithm for offering the appropriate function which suitable for the sensed grip-pattern. The effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method is evaluated through the test of recognition rate with the collected grip-pattern database.

SAR calculation method following the Mobi-Kids study protocol is analyzed and evaluation method of cumulative RF dose from mobile phones which have been used by a subject of case and control groups is proposed. An SAR database is built by calculating SAR distributions in 4 head models at different ages for representative phone models with the same conducted power. To obtain SAR distribution in a subject's head for a specific commercial phone which had/have been used by him/her, an SAR correction factor using SAR compliance test results is determined. Cumulative dose is calculated by considering mobile phone characteristics and use pattern such as call time and laterality(right and left).

Recently, A method of using the replicated database on a server to get new data without mis sing any information has been being studied in mobile computing environment. So far we ha ye used the Static Replica Allocation(SRA) for the replication which is the method of the replication on the server. This method is to replicate the data on the replica server after $\underline{a}$ moving host is transferred to a cell. Since the network of the SRA is very good, and if there are few moving users, no trouble will happen. But if there is no moving users in a cell, the data will not be shared. Therefore, this paper is about the study of the method of relocation after replicating the data to the cells for the users(User Select Replica Allocation : USRA). We also analyze the access rate and the possibility which are closely related to the moving frequency of the mobile hosts and the numbers of the cells. As a result, We show that the 5% lower access cost and the $2%\sim2.5%$ gains are achieved from the low mobility of the mobile hosts. We also show that t he extension function of USRA reduces the cost by 1.7% and it is influenced by the numbers of the cells.

Purpose Consumption behaviors of consumers have changed with the widespread use of the Internet and smart phones, and accordingly online marketing activities are becoming ever more prevalent. Yet, the domestic food-service industry has yet to offer an Omni-Channel order system that encompasses a online, offline, and mobile interface. Also, a multilingual menu ordering service for foreign tourists is not yet available. Therefore, if an order service system accessible online and offline which could provide multi-language services were implemented, the satisfaction of the service provider and domestic and foreign customers would be maximized. Design/methodology/approach By designing an electronic menu based on open an OS and providing electronic menus in offline stores, we have completed the design of a linked order system which would be available everywhere (online, offline, and mobile). The CMS was developed to integrate these three mediums and the entire operator was designed to receive basic information and statistical information about the merchants, or store operators. Also, a multilingual term dictionary containing menu information for foreign tourists was made into a database so that foreign tourists who are having difficulty in communication can use it more easily. Findings We have made it possible for customers to use the order service without distinction between online, offline, and mobile platforms, and have proved that it is a more efficient and convenient service for customers as well as operators. Nevertheless, as an initial model, the implemented system has limitations on the execution of the payment support method in the electronic menu board and in the management division of the CMS. In case of commercialization, it is necessary to make an alliance of efforts to attract initial franchises. Through further supplementation, we expect the online and offline connection-types martservice system will maximize the satisfaction of both operators and customers alike.
