Recently, with the development of ubiquitous computing, the study and development about context awareness models is required for the application of ubiquitous environment. This paper presents the design and implementation of a matrix based context awareness model for vehicle environment. The matrix construction method using 5W1H and CAM (Context Awareness Model) expression is proposed for context awareness modeling. The system with the proposed model is implemented by Zigbee modules for the recognition of individual identification and position and a navigator for current spatial and temporal information of GPS. The result of experiments shows that the proposed model is available.

In order to supply suitable services to users in ubiquitous computing environments, it is important to consider both location and time information which is related to all object and user's activity. To do this, in this paper, we design a spatial-temporal ontology considering user context and propose a system architecture for active mining user activity and service pattern. The proposed system is a framework for active mining user activity and service pattern by considering the relation between user context and object based on trigger system.

In ubiquitous computing environment, people expect services to change actively in response to the change of themselves and surrounding environment. In order to meet such expectations, the streaming service needs technologies for migrating through various devices, following the user's movement, and the technology of individualized streaming push service. In this paper, we designed and implemented U-Stream, a ubiquitous streaming service system, based on user-defined context and stream view. The system classifies contexts according to streaming service migration and allows users to define some contexts and, by doing so, provides user-oriented individualized services rather than uniform services based solely on the developers' anticipations.

The recent completions of free-form spatial structures provide us a very attractive form. To realize such an extraordinary shape, it is absolutely necessary that the connector systems have to be investigated the characteristics of the systems and analyzed with a practicable method. In this context, this research consists of not only literature research but also numerical analysis with selected connector systems, which was adopted in real free-form spatial structures. For numerical analysis, especially, finite element analysis (FEA) is performed with a various test parameter using a commercial program ANSYS. Consequently, the general characteristics of node connectors the moment-rotation-curves are presented by considering a large deformation effect as well as a multi-linear material properties.

A simulated realistic virtual environment is inhabited by autonomous cyber-humans who play the roles of agents in events. A key element, which enables this realism, is the historical context formed by time and space. A knowledge-representation scheme, composed of both spatial and temporal aspects needed by the agent to respond to dynamically changing situations, is essential for the design of a realistic virtual agent. In this work, spatial and temporal aspects of dynamic situations in the virtual environment have been formalized as a key component of our knowledge-representation scheme. This scheme provides a mathematical framework to construct realistic virtual situations that change with time, and background knowledge for agents in the simulated environment to deduce new pieces of information and plan against changing situations.

유비쿼터스 시대를 향하여 나아가는 현대 사회에서 사람들을 위한 추천시스템은 필수 불가결한 요소 중의 하나이다. 추천 시스템 중에서 사용자의 성별, 나이, 직업 등의 인구 통계적 요소를 고려한 시스템이 주를 이루고 있지만 이러한 시스템에는 어느 정도의 한계가 있다. 추천에 있어서 사용자의 기분, 날씨, 온도 등 주변 환경의 상황이 반영되지 않고 있고 학습을 위한 데이터에 대한 신뢰도 또한 문제가 된다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 상황정보(Context Information)와 공간 데이터 마이닝(Spatial Data Mining) 기법을 이용한 향상된 추천 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 시스템에서는 보다 정확한 추천을 위해 첫째, 날씨, 온도, 사용자의 기분 등의 상황정보를 고려하였다. 그리고 사용자의 유사도 측정을 통해 학습 데이터의 신뢰도를 향상시켰으며, 셋째, 의사결정 트리(Decision Tree) 기법을 이용하여 추천의 정확도를 높였다. 실험을 통하여 측정한 결과 제안하는 추천시스템이 기존의 인구 통계적 요소만을 고려한 시스템이나 의사결정 트리만을 이용한 시스템보다 향상된 성능을 보였다.

As the international society becomes more and more open, the international marine transportation demand is growing. And the growth of international tour demands and the developments of new passenger ship routes make the role of passenger terminals crucial. In this context this study analyzes and compares the terminals of Korea and Japan and defines design criteria for the construction of a passenger terminal. As a result of this study, it is proposed that an urban context, an architectural type and spatial characteristics be taken into account for the construction cf a passenger terminal. The ultimate purpose cf this study is to build a future-oriented international passenger terminal based on the result of this study, which will lead the ocean culture.

Recently, context-awareness computing becomes prerequisite to pervasive computing, called ubiquitous paradigm. Especially, it plays much of roll as a part of the ubiquitous infrastructures, one of three ubiquitous city components. This paper proposes the optimized procedures to deal with the various hypothetical water-leaking situations in the water supply systems. These procedures suggested in this paper will be employed to develop the context-awareness modules or models for urban infrastructure maintenance in the future works.

This study is intended to identify various reasons on the 'body' of women described in the paintings by Le Corbusier. As a great artist in the field of modern architecture, various figures of 'body' of women he painted were not a mere physiological body of a woman but a meaningful figure combined with many different types of concept in the social and cultural context. In the field of art, body is recently seen as a 'tool for thinking' that studies dealing with it are being actively conducted. Seen in this context, it is feasible to read the situations and causes at that time through movement and changes in the figure of women's bodies described in his painting. Even if it was a speculative inference, this study aimed examining what reasons and perspective Le Corbusier had when painting women's bodies and what message he intended to convey. Reasons on the 'bodies' of women derived in this study serve as an essence of mentality in understanding the spatial design that was constructed around the time of period. Adopting a different view from many of previous studies in the aspect of skills and spaces, it was intended to study changes in the complex and integrated causes in both spatial design and painting and re-interpret an essence of mentality of the spatial design in the humanistic approach according to the notions in society and culture.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The concept of "food deserts" has been widely used in Western countries as a framework to identify areas with constrained access to fresh and nutritious foods, providing guidelines for targeted nutrition and public health programs. Unlike the vast amount of literature on food deserts in a Western context, only a few studies have addressed the concept in an East Asian context, and none of them have investigated spatial patterns of unhealthy food consumption from a South Korean perspective. SUBJECTS/METHODS: We first evaluated the applicability of food deserts in a Korean setting and identified four Korean-specific unhealthy food consumption indicators, including insufficient food consumption due to financial difficulty, limited consumption of fruits and vegetables, excessive consumption of junk food, and excessive consumption of instant noodles. The KNHANES 2008-2012 data in Seoul were analyzed with stratified sampling weights to understand the trends and basic characteristics of these eating patterns in each category. GIS analyses were then conducted for the data spatially aggregated at the sub-district level in order to create maps identifying areas of concern regarding each of these indicators and their combinations. RESULTS: Despite significant reduction in the rate of food insufficiency due to financial difficulty, the rates of excessive consumption of unhealthy foods (junk food and instant noodles) as well as limited consumption of fruits and vegetables have increased or remained high. These patterns tend to be found among relatively younger and more educated groups, regardless of income status. CONCLUSIONS: A GIS-based analysis demonstrated several hotspots as potential "food deserts" tailored to the Korean context based on the observed spatial patterns of undesirable food consumption. These findings could be used as a guide to prioritize areas for targeted intervention programs to facilitate healthy food consumption behaviors and thus improve nutrition and food-related health outcomes.
