As ubiquitous computing technologies become the important paradigm for replacing internet based IT paradigm and developing the next generation IT, the research and development on the ubiquitous technologies are progressed actively. One of the core technologies for ubiquitous computing is RFID. In this paper, we design and implement the property management system as a new business item using the RFID since the demands for the u-business model that considers the ubiquitous environment are being grown. There are many properties in the organizations such as companies, schools and so on. Many users share these properties. Thus, these fields require efficient management systems for monitoring a variety of information such as the locations and the detailed information of the properties for the monitoring and lending services. We attach RFID tags to every property and monitor their information with our web-based management system. Our management system provides the monitoring service and the lending service for properties and users.

The purpose of this study is to propose the system architecture of intelligent ubiquitous house which is able to team the human behavior by itself and to predict the forthcoming situation, and to provide the customized and personalized service based on human behavior. The suggestions for advanced intelligent ubiquitous house are as follows; 1) Service should be combined with dwellers' behavior pattern, location moving pattern and service pattern in order to provide the personalized and customized service. 2) The system should be equipped with 4 components such as Agent, Database, Working Memory, and Log Data. Especially. This proposed system architecture of advanced ubiquitous house, which are equipped with these 4 components, will be the basis of providing customized service to every dwellers by learning dwellers' behavior pattern, accumulating dwellers' information, and recognizing dweller's lift style as time goes by.

Ubiquitous services are high quality and differentiated services which are provided for users by recognizing the context of users and environmental conditions actively. In this case, context-aware middleware is one of the most important technologies required to implement the ubiquitous services. In this paper, we propose a method for providing ubiquitous services in a specific user space effectively and monitoring human bio-sensors. That is, the design and implementation of intelligent home service middleware and monitoring bio-sensors based on context awareness is discussed here. Context information from various sensors is gathered, and suitable services are inferred and provided to users by the middleware system. In our approach, user services can be modelled easily by using facts and rules, and the system can be extended easily to support various ubiquitous services other than intelligent home services also. The system can be integrated with external applications and legacy systems effectively by using various protocols such as RMI, socket and HTTP, XML and etc. We have designed and evaluated various facts and rules for intelligent home services in real environments. Functionality evaluation with the system shows that ubiquitous services can be provided to users effectively in a home environment.

In this paper, we implemented the matching system between user-centered ubiquitous virtual reality and the real world for smart home control. Implemented system consists of the smart devices that are equipped with the ubiquitous virtual reality, the hardware for a real-world representation, and the matching software. To communication and data control, we designed the TCP/IP communication protocol, and used the WPAN-based 802.15.4 ZigBee module. The main point of proposed the authoring tool-based ubiquitous virtual reality is the user-centered environment that users can place the objects such as smart TV, home appliances similar to embellish their home structure. Some experiments are conducted so as to verify the proposed model, and as a results, the proposed matching system is well performed.

This paper proposes and analyzes two anti-collision algorithms in Ubiquitous ID system. We mathematically compares the performance of the proposed algorithms with that of binary search algorithm slotted binary tree algorithm using time slot, and bit-by-bit binary tree algorithm proposed by Auto-ID center. We also validated analytic results using OPNET simulation. Based on analytic result comparing the proposed Modified bit-by-bit binary tree algorithm with bit-by-bit binary tree algorithm which is the best of existing algorithms, the performance of Modified bit-by-bit binary tree algorithm is about 5% higher when the number of tags is 20, and 100% higher when the number of tags is 200. Furthermore, the performance of proposed Enhanced bit-by-bit binary tree algorithm is about 335％ and 145% higher than Modified bit-by-bit binary tree algorithm for 20 and 200 tags respectively.

A paradigm of medical industry is changing quickly to u-healthcare according to entry toward an aging society and improvement of quality of life(QoL). The change toward u-healthcare is meaningful since meaning of healthcare is redefined by prevention and management instead of medical service such as diagnosis of disease and treatment. However, the interest about u-healthcare is only concentrated to derivation of new healthcare service, development of medical measurement appliances(Sensors), and integration and standardization of medical information. Therefore, in this paper, the main ai of this study is trying to realize and implement u-healthcare technology through primary philosophies of ubiquitous composition such as Disappear Computing, Invisible Computing, and Calm Computing and development of user-centered technology.

Ubiquitous system requires intelligent environment and system that perceives context in a proactive manner. This paper describes proactive retrieval method using context patterns in ubiquitous computing. And as the user's contexts change, new information is delivered proactively based on user's context patterns. For proactive retrieval, we extract context patterns based on sequential pattern discovery and association rule in data mining. By storing only information to be needed in near future using the context patterns, we solved the problem of speed and storage capacity of mobile devices in ubiquitous computing. We explain algorithms and an example. Several experiments are performed and the experimental results show that our method has a good information retrieval.

In the age of ubiquitous computing, computer systems will be seamlessly integrated into our everyday life, providing services and information to us in an anywhere, anytime fashion. This ubiquitous computing can be used for developing a ubiquitous learning (U-learning). In this paper, we present a framework for U-school in which ubiquitous computing technologies are applied to advance the existing ERSS (Korea's Educational Resources Sharing System). Our framework applies mobile, sensor, and context-aware technologies to the existing ERSS. This framework presents a user-centric learning environment, using user-centric scenario. The U-school with context-aware services therefore can lead to the just-in-time learning or learner-led learning based on dynamic contexts acquired from learners, teachers and computing entities.

'Ubiquitous Computing' is the most important paradigm of the next generation Information-Communication technology. The one of important problems to develop ubiquitous computing service system get hold of relations between times of transfer objects and events of transfer objects. Another problem is what reason transfer-pattern through location data of transfer objects. In this paper, we propose an approach to offer temporal-relation service in ubiquitous computing environment. The first is temporal reasoning in service viewpoint. The second is temporal reasoning to record user's preference. Users have preferences that are closely connected with time. These preferences are recorded at user profile. Therefore, the user profile-based ubiquitous service system can offer suitable service to users.
