Ubiquitous Community Support System for UbiComp2005

چکیده
One target of a ubiquitous computing environment is to create and activate communities in which people interact in a lively manner based on their interests and situations. To achieve that goal, we have been developing a “ubiquitous community support system (UbiCoSup)” for event spaces since 2002 because event spaces have rich contents and interactions among certain interest groups and myriad sub-communities. We have been developing the UbiCoSup by elaborately fusing web support systems based on cyber world interaction and onsite support systems based on real-world interaction. In 2005, we were kindly granted the opportunity to demonstrate the newest UbiCoSup for all attendees of Ubicomp2005. This paper briefly describes the system architecture and the characteristics of each system.
