  • Services are reusable units in business level. Ubiquitous computing provides computing services anytime and anywhere. The combination of both is becoming an important paradigm of computing environment. Fundamentals of services require flexibility and interoperability, and key elements of ubiquitous modeling require interoperability and context-awareness. There are two kinds of methods to identify services. The top-down approach is based on business process, and the bottom-up approach is based on components. The first approach depends on experts' intuitions, while the second approach suffers the incapability of expressing non-functional expression through components. Although a feature-based approach is capable of expressing non-functional expression and identifying services in ubiquitous environment, the research on this issue is not adequately addressed by far. To promote this research, this paper proposes a feature-based method to identify services in ubiquitous computing. The method extracts initial-candidate-services from a feature model. Then, the ultimate services are identified through optimizing and analyzing the candidate-services. The proposed method is expected to enhance the service reusability by effectively analyzing ubiquitous domain based on feature, and varying reusable service units.

  • This study set up a hypothesis that the main variables (business environment, business strategy, business policy, logistics information system) of logistics information system utilization under ubiquitous environment would contribute to business performance, and then verified the relation between each variables that have an effect on business performance. The analysis results between each main variable can be summarized as follows. First, among main variables under ubiquitous environment, business environment closely made influence on business performance. Second, business environment, business strategy, and business policy were meaningful among other variables, whereas logistics information system was not meaningful. But, it is known that corporate performance is only meaningful to business environment and business policy. In conclusion, business performance is not achieved by each variable of business strategy, business policy and logistics information system. It is recognized that business performance is influenced by business environment that combines a given condition of business strategy, business policy and logistics information system.

  • Currently workflows in business processes and distributed computing environments have provided service automation by connecting many tasks with rules and/or orderings. The services in ubiquitous computing environments have to automatically provide users with adaptive services according to dynamically changing contort information, which is obtained from both the users and their environment. To adapt these workflows to ubiquitous computing, we must specify the situation information on the transition conditions. In this paper, we propose uWDL, Ubiquitous Workflow Description Language, based on Web Services to use the situation information on the transition constraints of workflow's services. uWDL can select adaptive services according to contexts, profiles, and events information, which are situation information. Furthermore, we verified the execution of a scenario document described with uWDL using the parser and the context handler for uWDL. The scenario developers can use the uWDL scenario editor for a design of scenarios, and they can easily specify the transition condition of the services according the situation information of ubiquitous environments using the uWDL.

  • This study investigates the needs of cruise tourists for building customer oriented ubiquitous tourism services. Through the field survey, the relationship between cruise tourism motivations and ubiquitous cruise services were analyzed. In this study, cruise tourism motivations mean destination attraction, family friendship, socialization, education/novelty and escape from daily routine. And ubiquitous cruise services are consists of boarding service, security service, safety service, customization service, and payment services. The results are as follows; cruise tourists with more socialization motivation get more use intention of ubiquitous payment service; cruise tourists with more destination attraction have more use intention of ubiquitous customization service.

  • Recently, owing to miniaturization of computer and popularization of internet, ubiquitous computing is attracting considerable attention. In ubiquitous environment, user can receive desired information service anywhere, any time. With the advent of ubiquitous age through popularization of internet, it becomes important how to provide user with ubiquitous environment, and what and how to provide to user. In this paper, method to automatically select device most suitable for user in ubiquitous environment is offered. search agents search peripherals, make a list by function, and transmit to serve. Serve learn the transmitted information through intelligent system. If user input information in the form of linguistic according to the list, serve select device suitable for work environment, and compose the system through IP address. This was realize through practical example, experimented and confirmed.

  • Recently our society is changing from an information era to an ubiquitous era. The centralization of an ubiquitous city has been developing among the countries and cities competitively. At this point, a reconfiguration of proper network environment is very important factor for a city competitive power. The centralization of an ubiquitous city is progressing with two kinds of category divided into existing cities and new cities. For example, Unlike new cities, the existing cities should consider the physical space restriction of communication network configuration because they can not design an underground cord lining. This paper describes the comparison and analysis of ubiquitous proceeding cases between the existing cities and new cities. And also, we investigated infrastructure features of proceeding ubiquitous city which is regarded as a reviving concept for the existing cities. In addition, a political proposal of wireless network configuration is suggested to solve these problems for the ubiquitous city.
