Recent trends in Mobile Communication Systems

Abstract

With recent expansions of IT convergence equipment, more and more mobile communications-related devices are used in many fields, and mobile communications-based projects are underway in various venues, such as u-cities, u-ports, u-health, and u-traffic. In particular, owing to increasing demand for personal services due to the rapid increase in the elderly population and rapid development of convergence technology, the increased competition among mobile communications institutions, etc., is shifting towards consumeroriented services, giving priority to the expectations and desires of consumers when delivering ubiquitous services. As a result, the use of mobile communications technology is increasing in convergence-related fields. Mobile communications systems for convergence environments pose many research challenges. Among these is processing overhead in service environments [13][14][15][16][17][18]. Therefore, novel techniques, architectures, algorithms, and experiences regarding multimedia applications and industry services must be considered. Some of these research areas are listed below.

Ontology-driven slope modeling for disaster management service

“…Although the guidelines of acts and response manual for disasters have constantly been changed and revised, there is almost nothing of the technological development for disaster prediction and prevention. Also, there is a lack of the government-led long-term technological development to respond to various kinds of domestic and overseas emergency and disasters [14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”
