In this paper we are investigating how ubiquitous revolution in knowledge society changes the education system. By the help of ubiquitous computing and networking techniques we estimates the configuration of e-teaming in the age of knowledge -based society, and we examines Education Model with e-teaming and ICT (Information and Communication Technology) at e-School. We also suggest the feasible design of the e-School and a Blended-learning scheme based on cooperative education as a way of teaching Education.

Privacy is one of the most important and difficult research issues in ubiquitous computing. It is qualitative rather than quantitative. Privacy preserving mainly relies on policy based rules of the system, and users cannot adjust their privacy disclosure rules dynamically based on their wishes. To make users understand and control their privacy measurement, we present a scheme to quantize the personal privacy. We aim to configure the person's privacy based on the numerical privacy level which can be dynamically adjusted. Instead of using the traditional simple rule engine, we implement this scheme in a complex way. In addition, we design the scenario to explain the implementation of our scheme. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to assess personal privacy numerically to achieve precision privacy computing. The privacy measurement and disclosure model will be refined in the future work.

It is important issue how to evaluate the economic feasibility of computing factors in the real world when we build ubiquitous spaces. In this paper, we propose a simple model that can evaluate the economic feasibility of mobile RFID-based ubiquitous computing system which enables seamless communication between offline and online via embedded computing factors in the real world. To achieve this, we explore the meaning of mobile RFID system, the difference between our research and extant researches concerning the evaluation of economic feasibility in RFID system, and propose the so-called 'Tag-based Evaluation Model' (TEM) which is an evaluation model to access the economic feasibility of mobile RFID systems. We also analyze the TEM via simulation cases based on proposed model and discuss the future of TEM.

Applying ubiquitous computing technology continues to develop services and to use it also has developed a variety of devices. However, classification of ubiquitous computing service (UCS) is ambiguous and evaluation criteria of UCS are difficult to be applied. In this paper, we define the characteristics and classification of UCS and based on evaluation criteria are derived. In addition, we propose a checklist of evaluation criteria to support the user's choice using UCS.

So far, many researches have been conducted in the area of audio based context recognition. Nevertheless, most of them are based on existing feature extraction techniques derived from linear signal processing such as Fourier transform, wavelet transform, linear prediction... Meanwhile, environmental audio signal may potentially contains non-linear dynamic properties. Therefore, it is a big potential to utilize non-linear dynamic signal processing techniques in audio based context recognition.

Recently, Location Based Service including tracking and way-finding services has been activated rapidly in the ubiquitous computing environment. According as the ubiquitous computing environment is developed, various types of sensor to acquire various data including location of the moving object are used widely, and acquired sensor data becomes abundant. However, the existing location management system based on a single location sensor is difficult to support LBS efficiently in the ubiquitous computing environment. In this paper, therefore, we propose the location management system in the ubiquitous computing environment that can manage the location data and the various sensor data efficiently. In addition, the location management system adopts the core technology for efficiently storing and transferring a large-volume of various data such as location data and for efficiently processing the various requests from a variety of servers and sensors. Especially, our architecture that is presented in this paper can support context-aware services and autonomous services efficiently in the ubiquitous computing environment.

Ubiquitous computing indicates that can use communication network of high-capacity anytime, anywhere, anyone as meaning that network exist everywhere. Ubiquitous means computing environment that human can use computing technology naturally although a person does not feel computers because many computers distributed and linked each other. Current research of Ubiquitous is studied mainly at the United States of America, Japan, Europe, etc,. It is becoming new hot issue of IT field. In this research, we examines a trends and a development strategy of Ubiquitous market's such as the United States of America, Japan, Europe. And we study Information-oriented society based on Korea's Ubiquitous and u-Korea vision of new paradigm.

Ubiquitous Computing System란, 언제 어디서나 통신 및 컴퓨팅이 가능하고 컴퓨팅 시스템이 상호간에 정보를 공유하고 협력하는 컴퓨팅 시스템이다. 이로써 기존의 컴퓨팅 환경과 같이 사용자와 컴퓨터간의 대화형 상호작용이 아닌 물리적인 환경 상황(Context)등을 시스템이 스스로 인식하고 이를 기반으로 사용자와의 상호 작용을 지원하는 상황인식 기술이 필수적인 요소로 부각되고 있다. 또한, Ubiquitous Computing System을 위해 사용자 및 주변 환경 정보를 감지하는 센서(Sensor) 기술이 필요하다. 하지만 사용자 및 주변 환경으로부터 입력되는 불확실하거나 모호한 상황정보에 대한 표현과 추론에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 본 논문은 이런 이유에서 Rule-based System을 기반으로 CRS와 DOS의 개념을 도입한 새로운 상황인식 기반의 Architecture를 제안하고, 이를 VHDL을 통해 SoC로 구현하였다. CRS를 통해 실시간으로 다양한 센서에서 들어오는 많은 데이터에 가중치를 부여하여 각 센서마다 중요도를 달리 부여한다. 이로써, System은 Sensor 입력 값의 중요도에 따라 처리 순서를 우선적으로 부여하여 처리 속도를 높인다. 또, DOS를 통해 각양각색의 사용자에게 획일적인 서비스를 제공하는 것이 아니라 상황 변화의 패턴에 따라 개별화되고 특화된 서비스를 제공한다. 마지막으로, Ubiquitous Computing System의 향후 발전 가능성을 예상하고, 본 논문에서 제시한 Context-aware Architecture에 의해 구현된 UoC의 유용성을 짐작해 본다.

The ubiquitous computing environment is a new paradigm that represents the future life and is expected to bring about great changes in IT and in the lives of individuals. However, since a good deal of information can be easily obtained and shared in the ubiquitous computing environment, problems such as a security threat and infringement of privacy are getting serious. The present study is intended to explore some ways to minimize such problems by introducing RFID technology in the ubiquitous computing environment. This study also examines the causes of violation of security and privacy that might occur in the RFID system and requirement for security. In addition it seeks possible technical solutions to those causes.

The flow of technology is going to human-oriented direction, from the time when the computer was first invented, to now where new computing environment using mobile and global network are everywhere. On that technology flow, ubiquitous is being suggested as new paradigm of computing environment. Augmented Reality is one of ubiquitous technologies that provide the interactions between human and computer. By adding computer-generated information to real information and their interaction, user can get the improved and more knowledgeable information about real world. The purpose of this paper is to show the possibility of applying vision based augmented reality to maintenance of product system.
