This paper is proposed non-contact plant growth measurement system using infrared sensor based on USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) technologies. The proposed system has used noncontact sensors to reduce any potential damage when it measures the growth of the plant. In this system, plant growth parameters such as diameter, cross-sectional area and thickening form are measured in real-time non-contact method. The measured data are transmitted to remote server by using sensor network technologies, stored and analyzed at the server, and the analyzed data are finally provided for users. In this paper, the proposed plant growth measurement system has been designed and implemented using non-contact infrared sensor based measurement methods and devices, and its performances have been verified by actual measurement experiments at the fields.

Various kinds of studies for building up U-Korea are now underway. Especially, RFID comes into the spotlight as a core technology of Ubiquitous. Though, the development of higher levels of application is far behind the hardware-based technology in RFID application system. For that reason, In this paper suggests technology using RFID on Ubiquitous and embodies the effective health care application which is one of the application services of user-centered environment It realizes the system which enables us to manage and send data about changing prescriptions and locations of patients effectively under the basis of RFID tag and mobile devices. It also provides the high quality of practical effectiveness of entire system throughout the realization of applications of application server and mobile device. on the basis of framework for providing the various kinds of services and physical elements.

A ubiquitous computing system could be constructed not only with one computer but with networks of computers (or ether devices with computing power) embedded in everyday objects. For this, dependability must be guaranteed for each single component of a system and for the whole system which might be more than just a sum of its components. This paper proposes an autonomic self-management mechanism that ran operate for 24 hours/day with the minimum human intervention. In addition, we validate the autonomic fault management scheme based on a workload model derived from the system log analysis.

Although wireless devices are the most suitable device for ubiquitous environment, they have restrictive capacities when using internet services than desktop environments. Therefore this research proposes a wireless internet service method that uses contents-based personalization. The existing websites can easily and promptly access desired news articles and other data through RSS-linked web contents and by the personalization method. The proposed method will make using wireless internet easier while lowering contents production costs. Moreover, personalized mobile web news contents that satisfy the preferences of users can be serviced.

Ubiquitous location based services, offer helpful services anytime and anywhere by using real-time location information of objects based on ubiquitous network. Particularly, autonomous mobile robots can be a solution for various applications related to ubiquitous location based services, e.g. in hospitals, for cleaning, at airports or railway stations. However, a meaningful and still unsolved problem for most applications is to develop a robust and cheap positioning system. A typical example of position measurements is dead reckoning that is well known for providing a good short-term accuracy, being inexpensive and allowing very high sampling rates. However, the measurement always has some accumulated errors because the fundamental idea of dead reckoning is the integration of incremental motion information over time. The other hand, a localization system using RFID offers absolute position of robots regardless of elapsed time. We construct an absolute positioning system based on RFID and investigate how localization technique can be enhanced by RFID through experiment to measure the location of a mobile robot. Tags are placed on the floor at 5cm intervals in the shape of square in an arbitrary space and the accuracy of position measurement is investigated . To reduce the error and the variation of error, a weighting function based on Gaussian function is used. Different weighting values are applied to position data of tags since weighting values follow Gaussian function.

U-learning (ubiquitous learning) systems, which deliver learning materials anytime and anywhere, allow learners to watch live lectures on PDAs, tablet PCs and notebook computers via broadband and wireless Internet. These systems have various problems; first, terminal devices are expensive, and it is difficult to maintain their efficiencies. Secondly, Internet does not guarantee quality of service (QoS), and in general it does not provide real-time services. Finally, the security of these systems is weaker in a local network than in an external network. The USB-based terminal system based on the OSGi service platform was designed as a ubiquitous system, in order to solve those problems. The USB terminals, used in this system, are inexpensive, and it is easy to maintain their performances. Also, this system solves the problems of security in a local network and provides guaranteed QoS. To accomplish this, the number of USB terminals connected to the system has to be limited according to the formula proposed in our paper. This system uses the OSGi specification as a middleware. It supports the discovery mechanism of the USB terminals, maintenance and administration of the system. Finally, this paper shows a driver's license testing system as an example u-learning application1.

This paper deals with the method will be able to support a common interface softly for the different with each other operating system users in next generation ubiquitous network. To controls in proxy servers that data portion be able to use commonly such as each different instruction, metaphor, image based on operating system, icons, it will be able to increases the efficiency of bandwidth use and minimizes a duplication transmission data from inside the bandwidth which is limited. Also it will be able to do method of common user interface provision to support seamless connectivity with each different network devices in the next generation.

Recently, much research have been done on ubiquitous computing models in advanced countries as well as in Korea. Ubiquitous computing is defined as a computing environment that isn't bounded by time and space. Different kinds of computers are embedded in artifacts, devices, and environment, thus people can be connected everywhere and every time. To recognize user's emotion, facial expression, temperature, humidity, weather, and lightning factors are used for building ontology. Ontology Web Language (OWL) is adopted to implement ontology and Jena is used as an emotional inference engine. The context-awareness service infrastructure suggested in this research can be divided into several modules by their functions.

As the recent development of the ubiquitous computing environment, u-GIS is being highlighted as the core technology of the ubiquitous computing environment, and thereby, studies on spatio-temporal data are being actively conducted. In this u-GIS environment, it is still difficult for existing mobile devices to efficiently manage the massive spatio-temporal data of u-GIS that are increasing day by day. Therefore, this paper develops a spatio-temporal query processing system for mobile devices in order to solve the problem. The system provides various spatio-temporal operators to insert/delete/update/search spatio-temporal data and supports a query optimization function that uses a spatio-temporal index for the flash memory and a spatio-temporal histogram for guaranteeing query execution speed. Lastly, by applying the spatio-temporal query processing system developed in this paper to the virtual scenario, this paper has proved that the system can be utilized in various application fields necessary to process spatio-temporal data in the mobile environment.
