Ubiquitous computing indicates that can use communication network of high-capacity anytime, anywhere, anyone as meaning that network exist everywhere. Ubiquitous means computing environment that human can use computing technology naturally although a person does not feel computers because many computers distributed and linked each other. Current research of Ubiquitous is studied mainly at the United States of America, Japan, Europe, etc,. It is becoming new hot issue of IT field. In this research, we examines a trends and a development strategy of Ubiquitous market's such as the United States of America, Japan, Europe. And we study Information-oriented society based on Korea's Ubiquitous and u-Korea vision of new paradigm.

Geographic information with convergence ubiquitous IT technologies becomes much more intelligent. In ubiquitous space, users can make information access easier and the use of geographic information more efficient through the 'Geospatial Web,' as a platform between the real world and the virtual world. Many global IT venders make an effort to develop innovated technologies, such as Geospatial web platforms and engines. This study examines the concept of 'Geospatial Web,' technology trends for intelligent geographic information and standardization activities for ubiquitous geographic information. Finally, to obtain international market competitiveness, the technology development strategies for intelligent geographic information are suggested.

Recently, the area of ubiquitous has gained a great attention both in academics and in business organizations as we are entering an ubiquitous society where people can interact at "anytime" and "anywhere". To preoccupy the leading status for the next generation of IT technology, many countries such as Korea, Japan, and US are concerned the ubiquitous. In this tendency, companies want to identify what factors make people use ubiquitous in order to develop the effective ubiquitous service and to supply the higher quality service. However, prior researches on ubiquitous are focused on technical area such as higher data delivery, efficient compression of images, so they do not have given companies beneficial materials for making fascinating ubiquitous services. To offer the service materials for development, from the viewpoint of the customer, important factors to use ubiquitous services are investigated in this study. Moreover, the study was progressed up to the new area of investigation how much these factors influenced ubiquitous service actual usage. To achieve these goals, Ubiquitous service adopting reflected in ubiquitous service characteristics was suggested in this study. The results of this study are as follows. First, contextual offer, ubiquity, invisibility are positively related to perceived value. Second, perceived value is positively related to usage intention but perceived risk is negatively related to usage intention. Third, usage intention is positively related to usage frequency. Based on these results, managerial implications for ubiquitous service vitalization are discussed. Lastly, the limitation of this research and further research issues are suggested.

By the rapid progress of U-IT(Ubiquitous Information Technology), a variety of national development policies have been devised on the basis of the utilization of the technology Above all things, a number of local governments are driving to construct a 3D GIS(Geographical Information System) that is as a infrastructure for the regional development which is including a u-City construction as a future city model, the competitiveness reinforcement of local governments, a reasonable means of urban management, etc. In this study we tried to find the fundamental direction of construction and utilization of 3D GIS in local governments. As the result of study, we suggested the advanced vision of 3D GIS has a role of treating the public affairs of local governments and of supporting the various private business scope.

Ubiquitous computer technology (U technology) is continually, and the trend is moving towards the miniaturization of devices, cost reduction, performance enhancement, and intelligence. It is important to improve fire safety system by the application of advanced IT technologies. In this study, a vulnerable point in fire safety was selected for improvement by U technology. The structure of the whole system and a unit system was were designed. This system is divided into 5 parts: the U-fire protection facility management system, the U-fire safety information system, the U-fire safety education system, the U-fire response system, and the U-wide area fire safety management system. The prototype system was constructed in a real building to confirm the applicability of the system.

In ubiquitous computing environment such as ubiquitous marketplace (u-market), there is a need of providing context-based personalization service while considering the nomadic user preference and corresponding requirements. To do so, the recommendation systems should deal with the tremendous amount of context data. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to propose a novel recommendation method which provides the products-group list of the customers in u-market based on the shopping intention and preferences. We have developed FREPIRS(FREquent Purchased Item-sets Recommendation Service), which makes recommendation listof product-group, not individual product. Collaborative filtering and apriori algorithm are adopted in FREPIRS to build product-group.

RFID is estimated to have great potential for hospitals to reduce various costs, reconsider patients' safety, and provide high quality medical service. As the ubiquitous technology allows the medical market to expand, medical centers all around the country are fiercely competing against one another. In order to increase the hospital's competitive edge by reducing IT expenses and concentrating on medical practice, the need to establish a u-Hospital using advanced IT technology is rapidly rising. This paper implements an RFID based u-Hospital system by using ubiquitous computing technology to design a location tracking device for all surgical patients, which can secure the patients' safety and increase the quality of medical service through interlocking hospital information systems.

USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) is a core infrastructure that u-life use to enable the realization in the ubiquitous society through various services of area such as u-city, u-Health. Therefore, we need a research for domestic standards to establish USN technique. Currently, status of USN standards is most standard and research that it is a technology for sensor node implementation and a protocol for energy-efficient communication and interlock with existing network. But, Standard and research for sensor network and integration management of heterogeneous sensor networks for USN application and sensing data management and USN database structure definition such as application and middleware is weak level. In this paper, we researched for standard development of domestic a sensor network and the relevant standard analysis to configure SWE(Sensor Web Enablement) of OGC(Open Geospatial Consortium) for standarded plattform technology. Also we researched that it's a connection between domestic ITA(Telecommunications Technology Association) standards and SWE Standard.

The introduction of a ubiquitous environment has realized commercial ubiquitous services in various industrial fields and government area. The central and/or local governments are demanding an appropriate investment evaluation model for ubiquitous service. Thus, this study develops and suggests an evaluation model for ubiquitous service by reflecting its characteristic of promoting public good, as well as its broad ripple effect on people. The investment evaluation model for ubiquitous service suggested by this study is based on Cost Benefit Analysis Method. Especially, the 'Benefit' is analyzed in two aspects; 'Economic Benefit', which shows the benefit that ubiquitous service providers to the overall local economy, and; 'Financial Benefit', which shows the profit of individual investors participating in the introduction of ubiquitous service. The investment evaluation model for ubiquitous service suggested by this study can be used by the central and/or local government during their evaluation for investment before introducing a ubiquitous service. Also, when introducing a ubiquitous service in public field, the model can be used to support the decision making of private businesses for investment. Finally, it can be used to promote and inform the expected benefits of introducing a ubiquitous service to local residents.
