유비쿼터스 환경에서 소형, 저전력의 임베디드 시스템은 저가로 구성되는 시스템이라는 특성으로 인해 넓고 다양한 지역에 분포될 수 있고 분포 시킬 시스템의 개수와 설치 방법등에 있어 큰 유연성을 가지고 있어 그 활용에 있어 매우 큰 잠재적인 요소를 보유하고 있다. 이러한 시스템에 채용되는 마이크로컨트롤러는 매우 제한된 메모리 용량과 낮은 클럭속도, 낮은 레벨의 연산 성능을 가지는게 일반적이다. 본 논문에서의 마이크로 컨트롤러를 위한 영상 촬영 및 압축 시스템은 이러한 소형의 마이크로 컨트롤러를 사용한 소형의 저전력 임베디드 시스템에서 사용하기 위한 목적의 영상 촬영 및 압축을 위한 시스템이다. 본 시스템은 영상을 촬영하고 촬영된 영상을 JPEG로 압축하며 이를 내부 메모리에 보관함으로써 저사양의 마이크로컨트롤러를 가지는 시스템과 낮은 데이터 전송률을 가지는 통신 환경에서도 이미지 기반의 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 환경을 제공하면서 동시에 매우 소형의 시스템으로 배터리 동작 기반의 저전력 시스템을 위한 설계로 유비쿼터스 환경의 구성에 매우 유용한 기능을 제공한다.

Recently, the area of ubiquitous computing has gained a great attention both in academics and in industry. However, previous research on this area attempts the categorization in part of context and the critical success factors (CSFs) and services of ubiquitous computing unsuccessfully. The purpose of this paper is to propose a framework on ubiquitous computing, including its context, roadmap, CSFs, and services.

Recently, developing U-City as an integrated set of ubiquitous spaces has been regarded as a promising field in realizing ubiquitous computing technology. However, well-organized requirement analyses of U-City to declare what kinds of ubiquitous space services are needed and which ubiquitous computing technology should be incorporated to come up with the needs are still insufficient. Hence, the aims of this Paper are to Propose a set of unique U-City construction philosophies and to analyze which services Should be offered in the ubiquitous Space services in U-Cities. A field survey to the citizens who are potential end users of the ubiquitous space services was conducted to analyze the success factors of U-City using CSF methodology. Focused group interview with professionals in the field of ubiquitous computing technology in Korea was then performed to identify the relationship of the ubiquitous space services and the critical success factors.

현재 기술 동향에 따라, 언제 어디서나 통신 및 컴퓨팅이 가능한 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 시스템(Ubiquitous Computing System)을 위해 사용자 및 주변 환경의 상황을 인식하는 기술(Context-Aware Computing System)이 필수적인 요소로 부각되고 있다. 하지만, Context-Aware Computing System을 구현하기 위해서 사용자 및 주변 환경으로부터 입력되는 불확실하거나 모호한 상황정보에 대한 표현과 추론에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 이를 해결하기 위해 Rule-based System을 기반으로 CRS와 DOS의 개념을 도입하여 상황인식 기술을 SoC로 구현할 수 있도록 새로운 Architecture를 제안한다. 마지막으로는 CRS와 DOS가 Network Topolgy에 적용된 RODMRP(Resilient Ontology-based Dynamic Multicast Routing Protocol)의 예를 통해 그 효용성을 입증하고, Ubiquitous Computing System에서 활용 가능한 방법 등을 제시한다.

The growth in the use of ubiquitous computing based on mobile services as an enabler to conduct business more effectively has been phenomenal. Technology acceptance model (TAM) has been applied in different contexts to examine a wide range of information technologies (IT). As more and more companies are finding ways to utilize ubiquitous computing based on mobile services, an important issue is to understand what factors will impact the decisions of consumers in adopting the services. Based on TAM with three additional groups of external factors, i.e., service-related factors (ubiquitous access, context awareness) and technology-related factors (perceived security risk, network connectivity) that are theoretically justified as having influence on both perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use which are additionally considered, a research model for the investigated technology acceptance was developed and empirically examined, using responses from more than intended users of ubiquitous computing based on mobile services. The specific purposes of this study are as follows. Firstly, this study is to identify service beliefs considering unique characteristics for ubiquitous services such as perceived ubiquitous access and perceived context awareness. Secondly, this study is to investigate network characteristics beliefs such as perceived security and perceived connectivity. Thirdly, this paper investigates the relationship among variables such as ubiquitous characteristics, network characteristics, behavioral beliefs, and intention to use ubiquitous web services. This study uses a structural equation model to test the research model. The major results of this study are as follows. Firstly, ubiquitous access has a influence on perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Context awareness has an influence on perceived usefulness. Secondly, User familiarity has an influence on perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, and intention to use. User innovativeness has an influence on perceived ease of use. Thirdly, perceived security risk has an influence on perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Network connectivity has an influence on perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Fourth, there exist differential effects among factors in structural model among information, transaction, and entertainment services.

The emergence of ubiquitous computing environment will change the service architecture of business information systems such as Decision Support System(DSS), which will be a new application. Recent mobile DSSs allow the decision makers to be benefited from web and mobile technology. However, they seldom refer to context data, which are useful for proactive decision support. Meanwhile, ubiquitous applications so far provide restricted personalization service using context and preference of the user, that is, they do not fully make use of decision making capabilities. Hence, this paper aims to describe how the decision making capability and context-aware computing are jointly used to establish ubiquitous applications. To do so, an amended DSS paradigm: CKDDM(Context-Knowledge-Dialogue-Data-Model) is proposed in this paper. What will be considered for the future decision support systems when we regard ubiquitous computing technology as an inevitable impact that enforces the change of the way of making decisions are described. Under the CKDDM paradigm, a framework of ubiquitous decision support systems(ubiDSS) is addressed with the description of the subsystems within. To show the feasibility of ubiDSS, a prototype system, CAMA-myOpt(Context-Aware Multi Agent System-My Optimization) has been implemented as an illustrative example system.

Ubiquitous computing is a model of computing in which computer functions are integrated into everyday life, providing services and information in anywhere and anytime fashion. Augmented Reality is one of ubiquitous computing technologies to provide new paradigm utilized to interact between human and computer. By adding computer-generated non-visual 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 the integration of AR and knowledge-base reasoning technology in ubiquitous computing. Through the introduced concept, it is enable to provide adequate knowledge in the process of ship design and manufacturing easily (Knowledge Everywhere). That is, this is a basic research to construct knowledge-based ubiquitous environment (KAD/KAM) in shipbuilding industry.
