  • Ubiquitous computing and mobile technologies provide much scope for designing innovative learning experiences that can take place in a variety of indoor and outdoor settings, such as botanical gardens, parks, museums and classrooms. In this paper, we present our own innovative work for bridging indoor and outdoor field-trip learning activities with the support of RFID with reader device on ubiquitous environments. The function of our system is based on strategically located RFID tags placed on objects around settings which are identified using the mobile device installed to an RFID reader. The mobile device reads the RFID tag and sends the learner's request to the field-trip learning system. And learners can be learning activities according to theirs learning levels. We also focus on the use of intelligent agents to customize learning contents for individual learners. The result of our experiment indicates that learner enjoyed learning where mobile devices are used in the system, supporting the learning activities in the context of which they are taking place.

  • 이동에이전트의 응용 분야가 다양해짐에 따라 에이전트 협력 작업이 요구되고 있다. 이런 협력 작업은 에이전트간의 정보 공유 및 작업 제어를 위해 빈번한 통신을 필요로 한다. 본 논문은 서로 다른 이동에이젼트(mobile agent)들의 통신과 협력 작업을 수행하는 그룹에이전트(group agent)를 위한 효율적인 통신 메커니즘을 제안한다. 제안된 통신 메커니즘은 네트워크 대역폭을 줄이기 위해 이동에이전트 시스템에 확장된 메시지 저장소를 두었으며, 시스템에서 제공하는 기본적인 통신 메소드(method)를 이용하여 동기적/비동기적으로 에이전트 상호간에 보다 융통성 있는 정보 전달을 수행한다. 또한, 제안된 메소드는 1:1 통신뿐만 아니라 다:다 통신을 지원하기 때문에 그룹에이전트 모델에서도 효율적인 수행이 가능하다.

  • Autonomous mobile robot agents(AMRAs) are robots which perform a given task by the same distributed self-organizing rules. In this paper, we let them form an equi-distance circle for the task of cooperative behaviors. Here, we suggest an algorithm to perform the taqk and then utilize a fuzzy system to improve the algorithm. It is shown that various cooperative activities appear in the simulation and particularly chaotic behaviors also appear by increasing the robot speed. Moreover, we prove the characteristics of this chaotic behaviors by calculating Lyapunov exponent.

  • Residential network is the hybrid technology of wireless, Ethernet, Bluetooth and RF to the internet via broadband connection at home to facilitate the convenient, safe and pleasant daily lives of home user with various home network services regardless of device, time and place. For ubiquitous development more devices will be wireless and most of them will be roaming. Since these roaming devices carry private information of daily life of residential users, the interaction among the roaming devices of residential network must be secure. This paper presents to secure registration of roaming devices using IP Security (IPSec) Protocol Suite without the need to trust foreign agents.

  • 이동 컴퓨팅 환경이란 사용자가 어떤 장소로 이동하더라도 동일한 환경에서 네트워크 서비스를 지속적으로 제공받을 수 있는 환경을 말하며, Mobile IP는 이러한 특성들을 고려한 무선 네트워크 프로토콜이다. 하지만 이 프로토콜도 이동 노드의 빈번한 핸드오프시 위치 등록과정에서 반드시 홈 에이전트를 거쳐야 하므로 네트워크 자원과 서비스 지연을 초래하는 단점을 가진다. 이를 극복하고자 본 논문에서는 지역적 FA 기법을 도입하여 방문 도메인에서의 등록을 지역화 하여 이동 노드의 빈번한 핸드오프시 등록과정에 대한 지연 및 네트워크 부하를 줄일 수 있다. 또한 부하분산 요소를 부가하여, 모든 FA가 상황에 따라 동적으로 루트권한 FA가 될 수 있는 기법을 도입하여 중앙으로만 집중되는 등록 메시지를 분할하여 네트워크 자원 낭비를 줄이고 빠른 응답 시간을 얻음 수 있으며 고전적인 문제점인 패킷의 지연 및 손실 그리고 재전송을 예방하고자 한다.

  • Important issues emerging with the opening of the ubiquitous age are how to present ubiquitous environment and how services and access methods can be provided to users. The present research proposes a system that can provide users with useful information dynamically through intelligent multi agents in mobile environment. The system is composed of profile module, rule generation module, filtering module and service module. It was designed to find users' demands in an intelligent way based on information on users registered through the recommendation agent. We implemented an applied system and proved its performance through an experiment.

  • In this paper we analyze the performance of the low latency pre-registration handoff method of mobile IP by computer simulation. Packet losses and delays are evaluated in terms of system utilization. Foreign agents that participate in the handoff process can be modeled as queues representing input and output ports. Therefore, we propose an analytical model of pre-registration handoff by using open queueing network model. Simulation results are shown for validating analytical estimates.

  • The design, development and deployment of Mobile Agent (MA) systems for high-level inference and surveillance in wireless sensor networks and RFID systems have drawn increasing attention in the past decade. To answer how the state-of-the-art of MA in a wide range of ubiquitous and sensor environments is, this paper investigates the current progress of MA. It proposes a taxonomy, by which MA systems in ubiquitous computing environments are decomposed and discussed. Then, this paper provides insights into the strengths and weaknesses of existing efforts. Finally, it presents a series of solutions from the viewpoint of various roles of MA in ubiquitous environments and situations.

  • Separation of optical isomers of some derivatives of amino acids by reversed-phase HPLC has been accomplished by adding a chelate of an optically active amino acid to copper(Ⅱ) to the mobile phase. Cu(Ⅱ) complexes of L-proline and L-hydroxyproline in the mobile phase showed different degrees of separation. Optical isomers of DNS derivatives of amino acids are selectively separated, but those of several other derivatives are not at all. The kinds of buffer agents, the pH, and the concentrations of acetonitrile and the Cu(Ⅱ) ligand all affect the separations. The elution behavior between D and L DNS-amino acids appears to depend on the alkyl side chain of the amino acids. A chromatographic mechanism is proposed that is based on a stereospecificity of the formation of ternary complexes by the D, L-DNS-amino acids and the chiral additive associated with the stationary phase. The steric effects of the ligand exchange reactions are related with the feasibility of cis and/or trans attack of the amino acids to the binary chiral chelate retained on the stationary phase.

  • 최근 인터넷을 이용한 전자상거래는 다양한 방법으로 발전되고 있다. 그 중 인터넷 경매는 인터넷 기술의 발전과 함께 전자상거래의 새로운 비즈니스 모델로 각광받고 있다. 하지만, 대다수 웹 기반의 인터넷경매 시스템은 사용자의 다양만 요구를 만족시키기에 부족하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여, 사용자를 대신하여 경매를 수할 수 있는 이동에이전트 기술을 결합한 새로운 인터넷 경매모델을 제시한다. 이를 위하여 Jini 기반 구조하에서 Jini 서비스로 동작하는 이동에이전트 시스템인 JMoblet을 개발하였으며, 개발된 JMoblet 시스템을 이용하여 인터넷 경매를 위한 공통적인 인터페이스(CommonAuction)를 구현하였다.
