Seiie Jang is a Post-doc in Computer Mediated Communication lab. at Nagoya University. He is interested in ubiquitous computing (ubicomp) and the research issues involved in building and evaluating ubicomp applications that impact our everyday lives. In the lab, he is responsible for context hand-over for personalized educational service space along with user's place change.

Research Interest

Context-awareness:
• User-centric Context Model
• Definition of unified context for flexible connection between sensors & application
• Framework context-aware system

• Personalized Service Space vs. Shared Service Space.
• Context-based Information System (cPost-it)

Human Computer Interaction:
• Place-based Service Management (Context hand-Over)
• Multimodal Perceptual & Pervasive Interface
