Recently, innovative medical services are fast emerging, which include customized medical services based on bio-informatics, composition of cure and well-being exploiting ubiquitous technology, hospital supply chain management using RFID, and so forth. However, conventional approaches for new service development hardly give us systematic model to analyze and produce creative medical services. Because most of them are static and concentrate on microscopic tools or techniques. Thus, it is highly desirable to suggest an integrative framework to organize the whole transformation process from technology to medical service. The objective of this study is to propose a medical service engineering model based on the dynamic innovation theory. The proposed model contains objectives of service system, strategies of hospital, stages, activities required to deal with medical service life cycle, which incorporates the acquisition of new technology, transformation to the product, penetration into market, and adoption of consumers. In addition, the usefulness and applicability of the newly proposed model are provided using catholic medical center example.

Online learning is becoming ubiquitous worldwide because of its accessibility anytime and from anywhere. However, it cannot be successfully implemented without understanding constructs that may affect its adoption. Unlike previous literature, this research extends the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology with three well-known theories, namely compatibility, online self-efficacy, and knowledge sharing and acquisition to examine online learning adoption. A total of 264 higher education students took part in this research. Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling was used to evaluate the proposed theoretical model. The findings suggested that performance expectancy and compatibility were significant predictors of behavioral intention, whereas behavioral intention, facilitating conditions, and compatibility had a significant and direct effect on online learning's actual use. The results also showed that knowledge acquisition, knowledge sharing, and online self-efficacy were determinates of performance expectancy. Finally, online self-efficacy was a predictor of effort expectancy. The proposed model achieved a high fit and explained 47.7%, 75.1%, 76.1%, and 71.8% of the variance of effort expectancy, performance expectancy, behavioral intention, and online learning actual use, respectively. This study has many theoretical and practical implications that have been discussed for further research.

무선통신이 생활의 거의 모든 부분에서 이루어지는 현재의 Ubiquitous 사회에서 가장 크게 부각되고 있는 문제점이 주파수의 부족이다. 주파수의 효율적인 사용 방안의 하나로 다른 종류의 무선통신기술들을 임의의 대역에서 함께 사용하고자 하는 공유 주파수 대역의 개념이 제시되었다. 공유 주파수 대역이 실현되면 임의의 대역에서 간섭회피기술인 FH와 LBT시스템의 공존은 피할 수 없을 것으로 예상된다. 본 논문에서는 공유 주파수 대역에서 채널수별로 사용자수에 따라 서비스를 받는 사용자 수의 throughput을 분석한 FH와 LBT시스템의 통신효율에 대하여 연구하였다. 임의의 주파수대역에서 FH와 LBT시스템이 같이 사용될 경우에 LBT시스템의 우수한 채널점유능력 때문에 FH시스템의 통신효율이 저하되는 문제점이 발생함을 확인하였다. LBT시스템의 파라미터 중 동 채널사용 시 지연시간을 늘려주거나, 채널점유시간을 줄여주는 방법으로 FH시스템의 통신효율이 현저하게 감소하는 문제점을 해결할 수 있을 것으로 전망된다.

Development of the system which provides services using diverse sensors is expanding due to the widespread use of ubiquitous technology, and the research on the security technologies gaining attention to solve the vulnerability of ubiquitous environment's security. However, there are many instances in which flexible security services should be considered instead of strong only security function depending on the context. This paper used Fuzzy algorithm and MAUT to be aware of the diverse contexts and to propose context-aware security service which provides flexible security function according to the context.

In-network storage is an effective technique for avoiding network congestion and reducing power consumption in continuous data collection in wireless sensor networks. In recent years, network coding based storage design has been proposed as a means to achieving ubiquitous access that permits any query to be satisfied by a few random (nearby) storage nodes. To maintain data consistency in continuous data collection applications, the readings of a sensor over time must be sent to the same set of storage nodes. In this paper, we present an efficient approach to updating data at storage nodes to maintain data consistency at the storage nodes without decoding out the old data and re-encoding with new data. We studied a transmission strategy that identifies a set of storage nodes for each source sensor that minimizes the transmission cost and achieves ubiquitous access by transmitting sparsely using the sparse matrix theory. We demonstrate that the problem of minimizing the cost of transmission with coding is NP-hard. We present an approximation algorithm based on regarding every storage node with memory size B as B tiny nodes that can store only one packet. We analyzed the approximation ratio of the proposed approximation solution, and compared the performance of the proposed coding approach with other coding schemes presented in the literature. The simulation results confirm that significant performance improvement can be achieved with the proposed transmission strategy.

In the modern society, the definition of life style has a special meaning. Because of the publicity of social Life, the compound numbers of behavior context and the diversify of Authority these days, the choosing life style is important for the self identity and the life activities. To erect the thesis of metaphoric process and meaning effect by stages, it will be studied and analyzed. Furthermore, studies about contrast, ambiguity, illusion, the element for meaning effect by stages, will be done. The Ubiquitous age Is a organic period for human, space and objects to interact to each other. This relationship can not be alternated by technology. Instead the technology can be a premise and because of the human being's new faculty of sensation, this age request emotional and interactive space design. In this modern life, the study of emotional and sensuous experience and metaphoric process can not be overlooked and should be researched more thoroughly to complete the theory of the new space design.

Conventional studies on technology acceptance have focused on information technology for utilitarian value and hence based on 'theory of reasoned action'. Correspondingly, the studies depend on perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use as rational decision making elements. However, in ubiquitous society, innovative technologies are applied to non-task area, as well as task-oriented area. Therefore, users are more influenced by affective factors than cognitive factors in causing their usage intention. In line with those discussions, we cannot make sure that the conventional technology acceptance model could fully explain the current u-service acceptance phenomenon. Hence, to overcome the limitations of the prior technology acceptance studies, we propose an amended TAM which includes one hedonic factor and two factors on ubiquitous computing technology : ubiquity and intelligence.

In theory, within ubiquitous learning environment, education is happening all around the student but the student may not even be conscious of the learning process. But, in this study, we consider the ubiquitous learning environment where PMP (Personal Multimedia Player) is being used for delivering the learning-contents. And the purpose of this study is to identify the problematic factors recognized by PMP users in u-learning environment. A need analysis was used to identify and evaluate needs of 74 PMP users as well non-users. Based on the interviews of participants, we give a brief summary results on motivation for using PMP, purchasing and operating costs, category of contents being used, dissatisfying and problematic factors with using PMP in u-learning environment. Therefore, we present six categories of factors preventing the u-learning with PMP from being diffused such as lacks of awareness, loss of confidence, side-effects, lacks of education and support, costs, and lacks of contents. In conclusion, we suggest a set of guidelines which might help remove these the resistance factors.
