유비쿼터스 시스템을 개발하기 위해서는 여러 전문 분야를 포괄하는 복합적 지식과 가상적 접근이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 요구를 만족시키기 위해 CAUSE(Computer-Aided Ubiquitous System Engineering)를 제안한다. CAUSE는 유비쿼터스 시스템 자체를 하나의 컴퓨터 지원 도구를 사용하여 개발하는 것으로 유비쿼터스 시스템 엔지니어가 복합적 관점에서 시스템을 개발할 수 있도록 해준다. 논문에서는 우선 CAUSE의 아키텍처를 제안하고 그것을 유비쿼터스 기숙사에 적용한 CAUSE for Ubiquitous Dormitory 개발에 대해 소개한다.

In ubiquitous environments, context is any information that can be used to characterize the situation of an entity such as a person or an object. Many sensors and small computers collect contexts and provide applications with them. Thus, ubiquitous applications need to represent contexts and exploit them effectively. In this paper, we design and implement a context-aware messaging system, called UMS (Ubiquitous Messaging System), based on Java and Jini. UMS can represent various contexts using XML scripts, and communicate text messages regardless of user's location using the proxy mechanism of Jini.

Objective: The main objective of this study is to propose a user-centered assessment metric for ubiquitous services. Background: As the ubiquitous era took off, the interactions between ubiquitous services and users have come to take an important position. It is essential to conceptualize a new assessment model that considers human-system interaction capability with a user-centered design perspective. Method: The evaluation model for the interactivity of ubiquitous service was approached from the concept of usability and inter-personality of services. As a validation study, suggested assessment metric was utilized to evaluate the u-Home service. Priority weighting of each assessment metric was derived using the quantification type-I analysis. Results: To evaluate interactivity, this study suggested a quantitative metric for user testing performed after classifying the interactivity characteristics to contextualization; ubiquity; user experience; and service capability. Conclusion: This study suggest the metric for the ubiquitous service that are experienced in real life, and introduced the concept of ubiquitous service interactivity. Application: The suggested evaluation metric can be used to evaluate interactivity level of ubiquitous service and identify the potential problem and usability requirements at the early stage of service development.

This study is to survey on the status of human resource training programs related to ubiquitous technologies and services of domestic universities. So, this study develop a classification system about human resource related to ubiquitous technologies and services. We propose the implications and plans which are based on the status of human resource training programs related to ubiquitous technologies and services. Human resources related to ubiquitous technology are classified by the flow of information in ubiquitous environment. And human resources related to ubiquitous service are classified by ubiquitous user view. This study can be used to find collaboration alternatives for breeding up ubiquitous human resources and referred to analyzing on the supply and demand of ubiquotous human resources.

Nowadays, ubiquitous computing services begin to be suggested from a few domains such as supply chain, logistics, and location-based services. However, to what extent the services will be successful is hard to be estimated, mainly because a sophisticated service evaluation method focusing on the ubiquitous computing perspective has not been supplied. Hence, this paper alms to build a model to assess the quality of ubiquitous computing service. To do so, an amended model, Ubi-SERVQUAL, is applied to assess the service quality mentioned in ubiquitous computing scenarios. According to the Ubi-SERVQUAL, we found that an actual service with higher quality should consider reliability. responsiveness, assurance and empathy in order to increase customer satisfaction, computer system's intimacy with users and trust.

The Ubiquitous Sensor Network, a new computing paradigm, is a core technology of ubiquitous computing for context-awareness monitoring system using sensor networks. Recently, ubiquitous campus has been developed to build ubiquitous computing environments in many universities. In this paper, I propose the development of context-awareness monitoring system, to acquire the context information through various sensors and provide the campus information and safety services for students with disabilities using mobile devices. Ubiquitous sensor system based on u-campus technology for students with disabilities can especially be used to provide customized information.

The roles and services of a library have historically been influenced and developed by the change of information technologies. The ubiquitous technologies have been widely studied for medical area, construction, commerce, broadcasting, telecommunication and so on. The ubiquitous technologies have extended to the roles and services in a library. The development of ubiquitous IT, the roles and functions of a library and information center should be changed. To adjust evolving environment, this study focuses on concept and definition of ubiquitous computing and networks. Especially, with requirements and essential technologies which can be a technological infrastructure for ubiquitous life, library services and roles in ubiquitous life are discussed by literature review, case analysis and expert interview. With the results, this study proposes that library services and roles in ubiquitous life should be considered in two ways which are network and physical spaces. Also, roles of a library in ubiquitous life will be extended to culture and education center including traditional information center. To perform those roles and services, a library should develop various service programs relating culture and education such as personalized service and educational program.

This article introduces developing trends of an 'Ubiquitous Interface' as an access method for use of various network resources, such as public wireless networks and un-licensed wireless networks in ubiquitous sensor network environments, without troublesome settings or operations by users. 'Ubiquitous Interface' is a relatively wide sense meaning not only physical interface of specified device or between processors, but anything method for access USN. These 'Ubiquitous Interface' able to provide seamless services that adapt autonomously to the user's movements and changes in the state of wireless resources. Recently, strongly recommended current technologies are RFID, NFC, Multi-mode mobile terminal, UMA mobile terminal and Wearable computer as a future ubiquitous interface. These technologies are have to have flexibility and multiple physical communication channels for seamless service hand over and serve easy connection at huge USN to user. Also, they have to must have flexible software structure. Finally, through the 'Ubiquitous Interface', we will be experience of seamless communication and realize a real liberty of communication.

Ubiquitous computing environment requires strong security and privacy. Access control is one of security areas. Access control on Ubiquitous computing is different from it on traditional information systems so that traditional access control models are not suitable for Ubiquitous comput-ing environment. This research defines Ubiquitous computing environment as an access control point of view, and shows requirements to consid-er for developing access control model for Ubiquitous computing environment. It also brings up three implementing types of access control on Ubiquitous computing environment.

This study examines the vision/strategies of policy for the public services based ubiquitous-IT. That policy is for searching the ubiquitous based people-friendly public services and promoting the industry related u-IT. This article's purposes are below; first, making the policy for activating the ubiquitous based public services, second, looking for the core subjects focused on practical value, and finally, proposing the system for the cooperation between public and private sector.
