The metadata for urban meteorological observation is standardized through comparison with those established at the World Meteorological Organization and the Korea Meteorological Administration to understand the surrounding environment around the sites exactly and maintain the networks and sites efficiently. It categorizes into metadata for an observational network and observational sites. The latter is again divided into the metadata for station general information, local scale information, micro scale information, and visual information in order to explain urban environment in detail. The metadata also contains the static information such as urban structure, surface cover, metabolism, communication, building density, roof type, moisture/heat sources, and traffic as well as the update information on the environment change, maintenance, replacement, and/or calibration of sensors. The standardized metadata for urban meteorological observation is applied to the Weather Information Service Engine (WISE) integrated meteorological sensor network and sites installed at Incheon area. It will be very useful for site manager as well as researchers in fields of urban meteorology, radiation, surface energy balance, anthropogenic heat, turbulence, heat storage, and boundary layer processes.

In present web service structure, the service begins when supplier register the information of its service to UDDI(Universal Description Discovery and Integration). When user searches service directory in UDDI, the position of service is transmitted to it. And then, user requests WSDL(Web Service Description Language) to the supplier. When WSDL is delivered to user, user requests the service according to WSDL. This thesis simplifies this web service process. This makes WSDL owned by supplier stored to WSDLBASE when supplier register its service. Also this makes it possible that user search the service and receives WSDL.

The purpose of this research is to develop an information technology (IT) usage level assessment model for service industry. It is necessary to develop an assessment model for service industry's IT usage to improve service productivity. However, it is not easy to develop assessment models due to service industry's diversity. In this paper a generic IT usage assessment model for service industry has been developed and validated through a descriptive approach. Key factors affecting service productivity have been identified and analysed. A pilot test on IT usage level has been performed to investigate the relevance and importance of IT usage indicators (factors). As a result, a set of effective IT usage indicators for service industry have been found. A short-cut model and a full scale model have been proposed for efficient and effective usage. The results of this study can be used for enhancement of service industry productivity through the increase of IT usage level.

The wide deployment of wireless access technologies and the integration of various access network interfaces into a single terminal, allows mobile end-users to be always connected to the IP network, and to use those interface simultaneously. In this paper the CTE provides various access network interfaces capabilities, allowing reception of data over multiple service providers with different characteristics. Considerations for multiple network and service provider environments are regarded as essential for the successful deployment of convergence services in Next Generation Network (NGN). Event Driven Service (EDS) is regarded as a typical convergence service converging different functions of multiple service providers. This paper first describes the deployment model of NGN convergence services for multiple service provider environments. It also covers the service scenario of EDS, a convergence service for multiple service provider environments in NGN. Multiple provider environments stimulates the unified identifier management, namely ubiquitous identification (U-ID), to enable users to be provided convergence services without awareness of multiple provides. Then the designed structure and procedures of U-ID based EDS are given. Finally, the implementation results tested on Korea Advanced Research Network (KOREN) are described.

네트워크 환경이 컨버젼스(convergence)되면서 하나의 단말에서 제공하는 서비스 역시 다양화되고 있다. 개인용 휴대 단말들도 기존에 개별 기능만을 주로 다루던 형태에서 다양한 융복합 서비스를 하나의 단말에서 제공하는 형태로 발전하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 컨버젼스 네트워크 환경에서 제공되는 여러 서비스를 동시에 지원하는 단말을 "복합단말(All-in-one Mobile Device)"이라 정의한다. 복합단말은 기능, 성능, 네트워크 인터페이스 측면에서 다양한 컨버젼스가 제공되고 있는데, 이 중에서 다양한 네트워크 인터페이스의 제공으로 인터페이스간 교차로 인해 기존에 존재하지 않았던 새로운 형태의 보안 위협인 Cross-service 공격이 등장하고 있다. 기존 모바일 디바이스와는 달리 복합단말에서의 Cross-service 공격은 사용자에게 과금이나 배터리 소모와 같은 치명적인 문제점을 발생시킨다. 본 논문에서는 Cross-service 공격으로부터 복합단말을 보호하기 위한 탐지 메커니즘 및 보안 요구사항을 제시한다.

Business organizations today have sought management effectiveness and efficiency utilizing information technologies. In particular, small and medium-sized enterprises short of information resources tend to rely more on outsourcing for accomplishing their own information strategies. SaaS(Software as a Service) has recently become one of the powerful outsourcing alternatives. This study tries to identify the influence of the SaaS quality on the service performance and loyalty. A SaaS quality model is developed including tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. Then they are hypothesized to have influence on the service performance defined as user satisfaction, individual performance, and organizational performance. Service performance is considered to have an impact on the loyalty to service. Findings from a survey to test hypotheses on the relationship among SaaS quality, performance and loyalty show these variables are significantly important to widespread adoption of SaaS.

Researchers who use science and technology information were found to ask an information service in which they can excerpt the contents they needed, rather than using the information at article level. In this study, we micronized the contents of scholarly articles into text, image, and table and then constructed a micro-content DB to design a new information system prototype based on this micro-content. After designing the prototype, we performed usability test for this prototype so as to confirm the usefulness of the system prototype. We expect that the outcome of this study will fulfill the segmented and diversified information need of researchers.
