Pervasive computing and social network are good resources in recommendation method. Collaborative filtering is one of the most popular recommendation methods, but it has some limitations such as rating sparsity. Moreover, it does not consider social network in pervasive computing environment. We propose an effective proactive friend recommendation method using social network and contexts in pervasive computing environment. In collaborative filtering method, users need to rate sufficient number of items. However, many users don't rate items sufficiently, because the rating information must be manually input into system. We solve the rating sparsity problem in the collaboration filtering method by using contexts. Our method considers both a static and a dynamic friendship using contexts and social network. It makes more effective recommendation. This paper describes a new friend recommendation method and then presents a music friend scenario. Our work will help e-commerce recommendation system using collaborative filtering and friend recommendation applications in social network services.

In this paper, design of framework architecture of pervasive computing system providing seamless inter space interactions between private and public smart spaces is presented. The seamless inter space interaction issues are related to establishing user's service environment by allocating relevant resources in a new location where there are no prior settings for the user or where there are current users already being served in the new location. In the realm of pervasive computing, we can have different types of smart spaces, offering proactive and intelligent services, which are islands of smart spaces independent from each other. As users move about, they will have to roam from private smart space to public smart space and vice versa. When they enter a new island of smart space, they will have to setup their devices and service manually to get the same or different services they had at the previous location. Users might be living in a non-pervasive computing environment because this manual operation is inappropriate to its generic features of proactive and intelligent services of pervasive computing. The framework architecture will provide seamless inter space interactions initiated by changes in users' location to acquire negotiations of resources for new and current residents regarding service provision with limited available networked devices.

We believe that smart spaces, offering pervasive services, will proliferate. However, at present, those islands of smart spaces should be joined seamlessly with each other. As users move about, they will have to roam from one autonomous smart space to another. When they move into the new island of smart space, they should setup their devices and service manually or not have access to the services available in their home spaces. Sometimes, there will conflicts between users when they try to occupy the same space or use a specific device at the same time. It will also be critical to elder people who suffer from Alzheimer or other cognitive impairments when they travel from their smart space to other visited spaces (e.g., grocery stores, museums). Furthermore our experience in building the Gator Tech Smart House reveals to us that home residents generally do not want to lose or be denied all the features or services they have come to expect simply because they move to a new smart space. The seamless inter-space interaction requirements and issues are raised automatically when the ubiquitous pervasive computing system tries to establish the user's service environment by allocating relevant resources after the user moves to a new location where there are no prior settings for the new environment. In this paper, we raise and present several critical inter-space interactions issues impacting middleware architecture design of ubiquitous pervasive computing. We propose requirements for resolving these issues on seamless inter-space operation. We also illustrate our approach and ideas via a service scenario moving around two smart spaces.

With the rapidity of the development on electronic technology, various mobile devices are produced to make human life more convenient. The user is always in constant search of middle with ease of deployment. Therefore, the development of infrastructure and application with ubiquitous nature gets a growing keen interest. Recently, the number of pervasive network services is expanding into ubiquitous computing environment. To get desired services, user presents personal details about this identity, location and private information. The information transmitted and the services provided in pervasive computing environments (PCEs) are exposed to eavesdropping and various attacks. Therefore, the need to protect this environment from illegal accesses has become extremely urgent. In this paper, we propose an anonymous authentication and access control scheme to secure the interaction between mobile users and services in PCEs. The proposed scheme integrates a biometric authentication in PKI model. The proposed authentication aims to secure access remote in PCE for guaranteeing reliability and availability. Our authentication concept can offer pervasive network service users convenience and security.

Ubiquitous interaction in a pervasive environment is the main attribute of smart spaces. Pervasive systems are weaving themselves in our daily life, making it possible to collect user information invisibly, in an unobtrusive manner by known and even unknown parties. Huge number of interactions between users and pervasive devices necessitate a comprehensive trust model which unifies different trust factors like context, recommendation, and history to calculate the trust level of each party precisely. Trusted computing enables effective solutions to verify the trustworthiness of computing platforms. In this paper, we elaborate Unified Trust Model (UTM) which calculates entity's trustworthiness based on history, recommendation, context and platform integrity measurement, and formally use these factors in trustworthiness calculation. We evaluate UTM behaviour by simulating in different scenario experiments using a Trust and Reputation Models Simulator for Wireless Sensor Networks. We show that UTM offers responsive behaviour and can be used effectively in the low interaction environments.

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.

최근의 개인 휴대 장치들의 급속한 발전에 힘입어 pervasive computing 환경은 인프라 시스템의 제약에서 벗어나 개인 장치들의 협력에 의해서 상황에 맞는 서비스를 제공 받을 수 있도록 변하고 있다. 하지만 이러한 ad hoc pervasive 환경은 기존의 스마트 스페이스에서 보다 동적인 변화가 더욱 많은 환경이기 때문에 pervasive computing을 위한 기능들 중에서도 자원 관리가 가장 중요한 역할을 해야 한다. Pervasive computing 환경에서 자원 관리는 자원 모니터링(Resource Monitoring), 자원 발견(Resource Discovery), 자원 할당(Resource Allocation), 자원 적응(Resource Adaptation)의 4가지의 주요 기능으로 구분 될 수 있고, 동적인 변화가 많은 환경에서는 무엇보다도 자원 모니터링이 가장 중요시 되어야 한다. 자원 모니터링에서 정보의 수집은 pull이나 push 방식으로 이루어질 수 있는데, pull 방식은 사용자 요구에 맞춰 요구 했을 때의 가장 최신의 정보를 모아 줄 수 있다. 따라서 이는 자원 발견에 가장 적합하지만 언제 정보 수집을 요청할지는 정보 소비자의 입장에서는 알 수 없기 때문에 push 방식이 다른 여러 기능들을 지원하기 위해서 보다 적절하다. 하지만 대부분의 push 방식은 주기적으로 자신의 정보를 광고하는 방식으로 이루어 진다. 하지만 상황 적응(adaptation)입장에서 봤을 때 특정 수준의 민첩성을 요구하기 위해서는 광고주기를 조절 해야 하고, 이때 필요 이상으로 네트워크의 사용량을 늘릴 수 있다. 뿐만 아니라 변화가 많은지 적은지 등의 각 단말의 상황은 무시된 채 모든 단말들이 동일한 주기로 정보를 광고한다. 이러한 문제점을 해결 하기 위해서 본 논문은 자원 정보 제공자의 상황을 고려한 자원 정보 광고 기법을 제안한다.

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”.

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.
