3. Definitions Ubiquitous networking Object
The ability for persons and/or devices to access services and communicate while minimizing technical restrictions regarding where, when and how these services are accessed, in the context of the service(s) subscribed to.
Object
Objects include terminal devices (e.g. used by a person to access the network such as mobile phones, Personal computers, etc), remote monitoring devices (e.g. cameras, sensors, etc), information devices (e.g. content delivery server), products, contents, and resources.

4. The basic concept of ubiquitous networking
Enhancements of networking scope/capabilities in the current concept of NGN
Extension of service: fusion services combined with other technologies (e.g., BT, NT, CT, etc) beyond IT services.
Extension of network: additional functionalities/capabilities
Extension of end-user: new types of objects connected to the network for enabling the use of various communication services.
Supports three types of communications
Person-to-Person Communication: persons communicate each other using attached devices. (e.g., telephone service, etc)
Person-to-Object Communication: persons connect objects in order to get information. (e.g., IPTV, file transfer, etc)
Object-to-Object Communication: each object delivers information using network with/without the help of persons. (e.g., sensor networking, etc)

5. Ubiquitous networking communication types
NOTE: objects include all of things which are attached in the network. Some objects can be attached with persons and others can be located remotely with persons. “person-to-person” communication relies on a “object-to-object” communication.

13. Ubiquitous networking applications
Examples of Ubiquitous networking applications
IT + transportation: ITS, networked vehicle and telematics, navigation etc
IT + education: online cyber learning system
IT + building: IBS, home networking, etc
IT + supply chain: supply chain management, distribution system, etc
IT + health: remote diagnosis and medical experimentation, etc
IT + life: environment management, equipment management, etc
IT + disaster: disaster management, emergency alarming system, etc
IT + safety: finance, commerce, public peace, etc

14. Future work

15. Smart object and its applications
Interdisciplinary fusion technologies
Solution for “connectivity + reality + intelligence” to support “5Any” using smart objects (5Any: Any time, Any where, Any service, Any network, Any object)
Cloud computing: the storage, structure and retrieval of the tsunami of data from objects, resource management
Smart Grid: Energy saving through remote monitoring and control of connected objects
WoT
Cloud Computing
IoT
