Today, embedded, mobile, and cyber-physical systems are ubiquitous and used in many applications, from industrial control systems, modern vehicles, to critical infrastructure. Current trends and initiatives, such as "Industry 4.0" and Internet of Things (IoT), promise innovative business models and novel user experiences through strong connectivity and effective use of next generation of embedded devices. We survey an introduction to Industrial IoT systems, the related security and privacy challenges, and an outlook on possible solutions towards a holistic security framework for Industrial IoT systems in this paper.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how smart tourism is applied to hotels and residences using ICT in Korea. Smart tourism is similar often used as a concept such as u-tourism, e-tourism, and digital tourism but the most similar of ubiquitous. This is reflecting to the fact that the recent trend of tourism has been decreasing from the large scale to the individual but the customers demand has been increasing, so we have examined how the hotel and the residence are adapting this situation. As a results, hotels and residences in Korea are reflecting to improve work process and remodeling of customer service.

U-learning stresses the ubiquitous networking environment where different sizes of U-devices, let alone the dominant PCs, comprise a background infrastructure to enhance knowledge and performance. This paper suggests a U-learning system that will provide an alternative for the hectic private lessons, particularly English training among grade-school students. Several points are suggested of the U-system to be a cost-effective alternative. Besides the corresponding advancement of U-networking, the production of a profitable business model harnessing the emerging technology is most urgent. The Government authorities should recognize the potential U-social system solutions, and take an initiative to develop them. The latest technology seems to throw a light to the upcoming social systems applied in various fields of social needs.

The u-Learning just begins to emerge as the next-generation knowledge-based business. Since it has a great potential to become a high value-added industry, there is much attention paid in this field. In this work, we first summarized the concept of the u-Learning where the architecture of various u-learning areas has been identified. Then we investigated the current status and problems of the u-Learning industry. Through the SWOT analysis, we have extracted the political strategies that will be essential for the rapid industrialization of u-Learning which will, in turn, contribute much to enhance the competitiveness of national economy.

In Korea, livestock has grown into the most value-added business in the agricultural and forest industry. But due to the recent outbreak of deadly infectious diseases such as foot-and-mount disease and avian influenza (AI), the demand for IT-enabled cutting-edge management system is getting stronger. As for humans, pilot projects and researches concerning U-healthcare have been carried out since early 2000. So this study explored the current progress of U-healthcare introduction, and suggested the strategies to develop technologies of collecting, processing, and utilizing information; to apply elements for a service model development and prioritization; to provide policy and institutional support. Therefore it is expected to vitalize the livestock U-healthcare in the future through continuous study based on these results.

Several studies made for wireless mesh networks aim to optimize the capacity for wireless networks. Aside from protocol improvements, researches were also done on the physical layer particularly on modulation techniques and antenna efficiency schemes. This paper is concerned with the capacity improvements derived from using spatial diversity with smart adaptive array antennas. The use of spatial diversity, which has been widely proposed for use in cellular networks in order to lessen frequency re-use, can be used in mesh networks both to minimize co-channel interference (CCI) and enable multiple transmissions. This paper aims to study the capacity region and bounds in using smart antennas for single-channel multi-radio systems in relation to the number of spatial diversity or sectors as defined by the beam angle $\beta$.

Quality of Service (QoS) Guarantees grant ways for service providers to establish service differentiation among subscribers. On the other hand, service subscribers are also assured the level of service they paid for. In addition, the efficient level of service quality can be selected according to the subscribers' needs thus ensuring efficient use of available bandwidth. While network utility optimization techniques assure certain QoS metrics, a number of situations exist where some QoS goals are not met. The optimality of the network parameters is not mandatory to guarantee specified QoS levels. This paper proposes a joint data rate and power control scheme that guarantees service contract QoS level to a subscriber using Goal Programming. In using goal programming, this paper focuses on finding the range of feasible solutions as opposed to solving for the optimal. In addition, in case no feasible solution is found, an acceptable compromised solution is solved.

기존의 물리 공간과 제품은 RFID태그를 통해 원래의 사용 용도 이외의 매체로서의 기능을 갖게 되고, 이러한 매체 기능의 추가는 제휴 마케팅의 기반이 될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 누구나 쉽게 RFID 태그부착 공간 제공자로 참여하여 물리적 공간의 트래픽을 전자적 트래픽으로 전환시켜 수익을 창출하는 경제활동을 가능케 하는 방법을 제안하며, 이러한 방법을 응용한 쿠폰 네트워크 비즈니스 모델을 제시하고 실제 작동할 조건을 분석하였다. 제안하는 비즈니스 모델과 방법을 통해 공간을 이용하여 비즈니스를 하고자 하는 기업과 공간제공자 간의 연결을 쉽게 하여 기업의 물리적 접점 확대와 공간제공자의 참여를 상대적으로 낮은 비용으로 실현시킬 수 있고, 공간소유자가 자신의 이익을 위해 하는 제휴 활동이 유비쿼터스 사회 인프라 확산을 촉진시키게 되도록 설계함으로써 불특정다수에 의한 빠른 RFID 태그 확산과 비용부담의 광범위한 분산을 이룰 수 있다.

The contemporary educational system in South Korea is built on high-stakes standardised tests, a manifestation of the national project of social reconstruction and reform. One recent outcome is the emergence of an unfamiliar yet ubiquitous phenomenon: the "pig mum"; a Korean parent who is fully involved in organising, scheduling and managing the educational process from primary to secondary school for a group of children in a neighbourhood. Based on a quasimixed method utilizing a survey of a group of students and parents, this pilot study explores the "pig mum" phenomenon and its linkage to education policy. The authors conclude that the current educational policy fails to achieve the ideals it professes to value. This creates deep and negative societal norms that endanger a growing generation of students by creating a parallel private education market environment where "pig mums" thrive.

This research note probes the largely ignored sphere of smart tourism curriculum as destinations and institutions seek to develop graduates ready to embrace the demands and challenges of future work environments where technology has a ubiquitous presence. This knowledge gap is somewhat surprising, even as destinations progress towards smart tourism futures, without necessarily clarifying what human resources need to possess in the coming decades. Drawing from available smart tourism curriculum across the globe, and emergent trends associated with Generation Alpha and Beta, this research note paints a timely picture of how smart tourism curriculum should be designed and developed to meet the needs of industry and consumer demands and expectations.
