First of all, the U-infrastructure section focused on a digital information technology. In this section speakers stressed that the most important thing is to realize U-society which is supported by Ucomputing. In this section, participants discussed U-computing's current situation and future, in terms of networking. They paid great attention on the Fibro, Wireless LAN, home networking, private networking, sensor networking etc. plus the future of Ucomputing security infrastructure.
The U-software section dealt with very important units such as U-service terminals and infra service, these units help users who want to realize U-computing. In this section, participants prospected terminal software technology's future.
Professionals from various IT fields, actively discussed UGame and Telematics technology's usefulness and its future. Participants discussed interface sectors such as voice, situation recognition, regarding the application possibility of conjunction with technology situation.
In the meantime, at the U-application section, participants focused on a U-society's key point application. Even though very useful software was developed but if users don't know about the way to operating and applying this software to real society. This software is unavailable. Under the current situation many application sectors are introducing U-computing technology.
At this conference, U-business, U-government, U-learning, U-office etc. discussed about technology application skills. On the first day of 'IT21 Conference', with a theme of 'the future of Korea's U-society', a panel discussion was held at the conference room chaired by Kim Jong , who is a professor of Pohang University of Science and Technology.
For this discussion, Lee Young-Sang, CEO of the 'Innovative Data Solutions' addressed 'Effective data utilization which acts under mass ubiquitous environment' and Kwan Oh-Cheon, a researcher of ETRI(Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute) delivered his speech about 'Usociety's future' . Kang Soon Joo, a professor of Kyung Pook National University, cautiously pointed out that Korea's recent development to U-society era is too hasty, and also diagnosed possibilities of that hasty's side effects.
The second day of this conference, at an invitation lecture, an eminent professional researcher Dr. Apratm Purakayastha from IBM Thomas J.Watson Research Center spoke about opportunities and challenges in the ubiquitous computing era. The speech outlined current Usociety trends and implications. He pointed out that this current environment is characterized by diversity and specialization, democratization of communication and various change from transaction to collaboration. He also claimed that the next generation will have various opportunities and challenges.
Another speaker Kim Myung Ho, NTO (National Technology officer) of MS Korea delivered his speech about Microsoft Invisible Computing. The title of the presentation was 'A real time embedded web services and Microsoft Invisible Computing platform' He noted that web service is an important means which can solve e-business's interoperability problem and can apply web service to the ubiquitous environment. And also he stressed that we have to consider a storage space, parsing overhead, the volume of messages. But the most important thing is to pursue effectiveness and try to satisfy various additional requirements for a real time computing. In conclusion he added that Microsoft's 'Invisible Computing' is an operating system which is based on the SOAP message compression, reliance, security, distributed processing system and real time C+ language. This computing system can support ubiquitous environment web service according to professional researcher.
This 'Invisible Computing' is freely available for various kinds of study.
