Abstract:
U-City (Ubiquitous City), which is a city or a region with ubiquitous information technology, has recently emerged as an important government initiative for urban management in Republic of Korea. There are various kind of information related to the u-city and these information can be gathered through technologies such as wireless networking, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags, CCTV (closed-circuit television) and sensors. In addition, information from existing legacy systems (e.g. Intelligent Transport System, Urban Facility Management System) can be related to the previously mentioned information. In the concept of U-City, U-services (Ubiquitous urban services) like U-Facility, U-Transport, U-Security and U-Environment are defined as services which process a large number of multiple events occurred in urban areas by using these information. In the past years, Events or information from U-services has been separately managed causing an increase in system complexity, overlapping investment costs and so on. Also, due to the lack of suitable urban management system, there has been difficulty in integrating with other urban management solutions. In terms of urban management, there must be a system that can store and process the massive amount of data collected from U-services. This paper discusses the flexible and extensible software platform architecture to manage these ubiquitous information more effectively.
