Challenges in creating embedded ubiquitous services everywhere

Summary form only given. In this talk, we will discuss the issues and challenges in creating context-aware embedded ubiquitous services. We first introduce various types of smart furniture and ubiquitous appliances. Then, several types of context-aware ubiquitous services such as a real-time ranking system for consumers, a secure library check-out system, a mobile TV-phone system, and an environmental monitoring system for a city park are described. Finally, we summarize the issues and future challenges in providing context-awareness, real-time adaptability, time-space coordination for embedded ubiquitous services.
