Pervasive computing은 본래의 의미에서 알 수 있듯이 모든 개체들이 네트워크로 연결되어 보다 향상된 서비스 환경을 제공하고자 하는 것이 목표이므로, 작게는 센서들에 의한 네트워크로부터 크게는 인공위성 네트워크까지 다양한 크기와 성능을 갖는 네트워크 개체들이 존재하는 복합 환경을 구성하게 된다. 이와 관련하여 IPv6의 보급, 이동 단말의 성능향상, 다양한 서비스와 어플리케이션 개발을 통해 새로운 네트워크 실현을 가속화하고 있다. 이러한 차세대 네트워크는 많은 사용자와 단말들의 적응적 상호 작용이 주요 핵심 부문이 될 것이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 네트워크 구성 요소의 적응적 상호 작용의 신뢰성을 보장하기 위한 보안 체계를 연구하는 것을 목표로 한다.

Nowadays mobile phones and PDAs are part and parcel of our lives. By carrying a portable mobile device with us all the time we are already living in partial Pervasive Computing Environment (PCE) that is waiting to be exploited very soon. One of the advantages of pervasive computing is that it strongly supports the deployment of Location-Based Service(s) (LBSs). In PCE, there would be many competitive service providers (SPs) trying to sell different or similar LBSs to users. In order to reserve a particular service, it becomes very difficult for a low-computing and resource-poor mobile device to handle many such SPs at a time, and to identify and securely communicate with only genuine ones. Our paper establishes a convincing trust model through which secure job delegation is accomplished. Secure Job delegation and cost effective cryptographic techniques largely help in reducing the burden on the mobile device to securely communicate with trusted SPs. Our protocol also provides users privacy protection, replay protection, entity authentication, and message authentication, integrity, and confidentiality. This paper explains our protocol by suggesting one of the LBSs namely“Secure Automated Taxi Calling Service”.

Pervasive computing environment is similar to the meaning of ubiquitous computing, however it is a kind of the commercial product, which is made from the collaboration between NIST and IBM. On the basis of this environment, the research of mobile agents for intrusion detection is going on in progress. In this paper, we study the research about mobile agents for the intrusion detection and then suggest scenarios using moving mobile agents based on the multiple mobile agents in the intrusion detection. Subsequently, we could figure out the problems which occurred through progress of integrity movement as a matter of the intrusion detection.

지난 1월말 cdma2000 1x EvDo의 상용서비스 개시와, 비슷한 시기인 2월초 주요 Hot-Spot 지역을 중심으로 무선 LAN 서비스의 상용화에 들어서면서 본격적인 패킷 서비스가 시작되었다. 이와 같은 널리 퍼진 인프라를 중심으로 사용자들은 머지 않아 언제 어디서든지 근접한 컴퓨팅 장비를 이용해서 주변 환경을 이용하고 제어하는 pervasive 컴퓨팅 환경에 이르게 될 것이다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 컴퓨팅 환경을 위한 lightweight 프로토콜인 BURP(Basic User Registration Protocol)를 통해 멀티미디어 서비스, 고화질 QoS 서비스, 네비게이션 서비스, 파일 출력/인쇄 서비스 등 사용자의 위치에서 사용자에 특정한 서비스 시나리오를 구성하였다.

In this paper, a novel power management structure for an energy harvesting pervasive system is proposed. The system considers the power state of each subsystem to assign proper power sources. The switch matrix structure utilizes each power source to reduce the peak current of the battery. The power management structure can be interfaced to an embedded system power supply without significant design change.

One of the major components of any pervasive system is its proactive behavior. Various models have been developed to provide system wide changes which would enable proactive behavior. A major drawback of these approaches is that they do not address the need to make use of existing applications without modifying the applications. To overcome this drawback, a middleware architecture called 'Concord' is proposed. Concord is based on a simple model which consists of Lookup Server and Database. The rewards for this simple model are many. First, Concord uses the existing computing infrastructure. Second, Concord standardizes the interfaces for all services and platforms. Third, new services can be added dynamically without any need for reconfiguration. Finally, Concord consists of Database that can maintain and publish the active set of available resources. Thus Concord provides a solid system for integration of various entities to provide seamless connectivity and enable proactive behavior.

Uncertainty and dynamism surrounding pervasive systems require new and sophisticated approaches to defining, detecting, and handling complex exceptions. This is because the possible erroneous conditions in pervasive systems are more complicated than conditions found in traditional applications. We devised a novel exception description and detection mechanism based on "situation"- a novel extension of context, which allows programmers to devise their own handling routines targeting sophisticated exceptions. This paper introduces the syntax of a language support that empowers the expressiveness of exceptions and their handlers, and suggests an implementation algorithm with a straw man analysis of overhead.

Service discovery is the technology of finding needed services in networks, and a key point in pervasive computing environments. This paper presents a novel service discovery protocol: ASESDP(AIP and SRR Enhanced Service Discovery Protocol). In ASESDP, tow schemes are proposed to enhance its performance: AIP(Advertisement Information Piggybacked) and SRR(Shortest Reply Route). In AIP, parts of advertisement information are piggybacked in the service reply packet, which makes the advertisement information propagating along the reply path, and spreads its transmission area. In SRR, in order to reduce the service response time, the shortest reply route is chosen to forward the service reply packet to the source node sending the service request. With the theoretical analysis and Glomosim simulation results, it is verified that ASESDP can reduce the number of service request packets, save the response time, and improve the efficiency of service discovery.

For the pervasive computing in ubiquitous environment, it is very important to manage the context model to provide pertinent context knowledge to context-aware applications. The context model should be able to support efficiently the context knowledge reusing and sharing as well as reasoning. Previous works focus mainly on the context knowledge representation scheme for reasoning. This paper proposes a context knowledge modeling scheme especially for reusing and sharing. This scheme provides well-established principles and guides for 1) context knowledge modularization and hierarchization, and for 2) context knowledge identification and organization. Once the context models are built according to the scheme, the structure of the context model and the meanings of the context knowledge elements become clear and consistent, so that context-aware applications can share and reuse the context knowledge in easy and error-reduced manner. This paper also discusses the implementation of a context model and an application for Presentation Helper scenario running on a software middleware system (CAMUS) for ubiquitous service robots which is being developed by ETRI Korea.

We introduce new type of networked robot, Ubiquitous Robotic Companion (URC), embedded with ATLAS Service-oriented architecture for enhancing the space sensing capability. URC is a network-based robotic system developed by ETRI. For years of experience in deploying service with ATLAS sensor platform for elder and people with special needs in smart houses, we need networked robots to assist elder people in their successful daily living. Recently, pervasive computing technologies reveals possibilities of networked robots in smart spaces, consist of sensors, actuators and smart devices can collaborate with the other networked robot as a mobile sensing platform, a complex and sophisticated actuator and a human interface. This paper provides our experience in designing and implementing system architecture to integrate URC robots in pervasive computing environments using the University of Florida's ATLAS service-oriented architecture. In this paper, we focus on the integrated framework architecture of URC embedded with ATLAS platform. We show how the integrated URC system is enabled to provide better services which enhance the space sensing of URC in the smart space by applying service-oriented architecture characterized as flexibility in adding or deleting service components of Ubiquitous Robotic Companion.
