Smart TV has been the most popular communication device since 2010. It is the multi-functional device conjugated a variety of features such as Apps, Web surfing, viewing VOD and so on. However, the contents and development tools for smart TV are still relatively small and research for game contents development tools is also insufficient. In this study, we are to design and develop a framework for developers to make Smart TV game contents easily. The STGF (Smart TV Game Framework) we developed is made up of 3 managers such as input manager, screen data process manager, and game status process manager. We verified the usefulness of STGF through developing "Pentomiro" App launched commercially in 2013. With STGF development time would be expected to be reduced, because we spend little time in basic development steps such as input, output, and data processing and error correction processing.

Along with the rapid diffusion of smart devices, smart learning has been taking place as a main pedagogy in education. Under these drastic changing circumstances, social presence and interaction between learners have been highlighted as key factors in educational research. In this light of rising importance, this study examined the effects of modality and smart device on users' perceived social presence and interaction experience in a smart learning environment. It conducted 2(text based interface vs. audio/video based interface) by 2(smartphone vs. tablet PC) between-subjects experiment. 80 participants were systematically recruited and randomly assigned to four conditions. The findings showed that social presence was higher in audio/video based interface condition than in text based interface condition. Modality also had a positive effect on learner's interaction experience. On the other hand, the effect of smart device is found to be statistically insignificant. Instead, interaction effect existed between modality and device on social presence. The result of this study suggests that the modality and characteristics of device should be considered seriously when designing interface of smart learning contents. The findings in this study provide future studies with heuristic implications by highlighting users' perceived cognition and experience.

The game Industry has been a major leader in business world with its size and volume in terms of profit and culture contents, and ever increasing at the moment. Cloud Game has appeared as a new, combined game format, playable on smart TV and smart phone with its upgraded storage size and fast spreading N-screen. This research studies the present reality of the cloud industry by focusing on three categories which are device type, Platform, and game contents consequently in order to determine the future prospect of cloud games. First, the cloud game business will thrive as devices such as smart TV and smart phone are used widely. Second, the cloud game industry will have a new era when OS systems of Platform are united effectively. Third, the previous platform holders will have to face new challenges brought up by cloud games' service providers. Forth, the gamer, developer, and service provider need each other in order to widen the spectrum of business in cloud game industry.

In these days, the smart devices are being developed and used repeatedly. But almost E-learning System did not provide these smart devices environment and user's E-learning space is changing from Single-screen environment to multi-Screen environment. Accordingly we configure smart E-learning space based on multi-screen and integrate the multi-media contents for the Smart E-learning service. We present the synchronization techniques to make the multi-screen environment for smart space with Timed Link and design the Timed Button to relate each Screen which is using multi-media e-learning contents.

This study aims to suggest development direction of smart city service support institutions for the development of smart cities. For this purpose, First of all, the necessity of smart city service support organization, legal basis and major functions were theoretically examined. Second, reviewed the functions of smart city service support institutions and conducted relative importance and in depth interviews with experts. Third, suggested development direction of smart city service support institutions which summarized the above results is suggested. The result of this study is meaningful in that it suggests roles, functions and future directions of smart city service support institutions.

This study aims to analyze what is necessary for realization of convergence smart city service, and what is the priority order for it. First, the concept is set up through the theoretical review about convergence smart city service. Second, conduct in-depth interviews with smart-city related experts and derive the necessary elements to implement convergence smart city service. Third, derive priorities by subdividing the derived elements and utilizing the AHP method. The result of this study is expected to contribute to the development of convergence smart city service by deriving what should be considered for implementation of convergence smart city service.

Recently, with the market of smart phones slowing down, more attention is paid to wearable devices. It was suggested that 2013 was the "year of the smart watch", due to that the majority of major consumer electronics manufacturers were undertaking work on a smart watch device. However there are still many issues on the interaction and interface design of smart watches. This study reviewed related literatures and evaluated the interaction methods, interface and content design of current smart watches. Based on that, future research directions were proposed. The research results have significant meanings for the guidance of future directions of smart watch.

To explore the directions of 'Smart Education', we conduct a delphi survey field experts related to it recognized new educational paradigm of 21st century. As a result we can deduct common ground on educational goal, contents, method, evaluation, environment of 'Smart Education'. On the basis of these results, we develop a Smart Education Model to be able to provide a guide in the field. It is a systemic education model consisting of interrelated educational contents, method, evaluation, and environment of 'Smart Education' organically for education goal (e.g., Smart education should spread out for students living on 21st century to solve the problem with cooperation and communication, enhance creativity, and build their good character). We anticipate that this study will be useful in the field.
