Abstract
The concept of Ubiquitous Computing Environment leads new paradigm change in urban space creation. In Korea, new concept of Ubiquitous-City (U-City) draws a lot of attentions now. It is trying to fuse high-tech infrastructure and ubiquitous information service into the urban area. It is also thought to bring innovations of urban functions. At last, it is advancing to the ubiquitous society, intelligence-based society where humans, things, and computers are combined. This paper introduces U-City’s definition, characteristics, trend, status, and future research work.
