The objective of this study is to identify the characteristics of high performer among R&D professionals and to examine the effects of LMX(Leader-Member Exchange) and TFL(Transformational Leadership) on job satisfaction or organizational commitment. The empirical result shows that; 1) when compared with the low performers of R&D professionals, the high performers have more proactive personality such as risk-taking propensity, self-efficacy, need for achievement, 2) the high performers have more innovative problem-solving style, 3) the impact of LMX and TFL on job satisfaction or organizational commitment is significant and positive, 4) the augmentative effect of TFL over LMX on job satisfaction or organizational commitment exists for low performer but does not exist for high performer. Based on the result, the theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

This paper explores the characteristics of innovation activities in high growth firms that contribute to national and regional economic growth and job creation. The analysis is based on the 2016 KIS data to analyze the difference in innovation activities between high growth firms and general firms. The main results are as follows: First, high growth firms have a higher proportion of R&D personnel than general firms. Second, high growth firms are actively introducing product innovation, process innovation, and organizational innovation as compared to general firms. In the innovation activities related to product innovation and process innovation, there is no statistically significant difference between high growth companies and general companies except for external R&D. Third, High growth firms are more likely to cooperate with other technology partners than general firms. But, there is no statistically significant difference between high growth firms and general firms in the external knowledge search and the diversity of cooperating partners. Fourth, in terms of protecting innovation, high growth firms are more likely to use all kinds of innovation protection method, such as 'utilizing intellectual property rights', 'maintaining confidentiality', 'adopting complex design methods', 'market preemption ahead of competitors', and the most important means is the intellectual property rights. Fifth, government innovation policies that high growth firms chose as important are 'innovation subsidies and loans', 'acquirement, utilization and protection of intellectual property rights' and 'human resource support'.

Technological competitiveness of SMEs is an important factor of the country's industrial competitiveness. And technological competitiveness of SMEs in South Korea has been a long-term congestion. Through the study, we analyzed the correlation between SMEs technical support policy and technological competitiveness. As a result, the technological competitiveness of SMEs is positively related to R&D policy of funding, taxation and infrastructure. And on the other hand, R&D support policy positively effected the technological competitiveness of subcontractors, 5~49 people of small enterprises and innovation SMEs. We suggest that technology fund should be increased by expanding policy funds, investments and loans. Also, allocation of strategic R&D resources and supportive researching staffs are needed to strengthen high-growth innovative SMEs.

공정기술의 미세화가 진행될수록 반도체 제품의 개발비용은 급격히 증가 할 것으로 예측되고 있다. 이는 지속적으로 증가하는 설계 복잡도와 미세공정에서 고성능 및 저전력 반도체 구현의 어려움에 의한 것이다. 제품수명기간(Product Life Cycle: PLC)이 점점 짧아지지만 핵심 부품인 반도체 제품의 개발기간과 설계인력은 급격히 증가해감에 따라 늘어만 가는 개발 비용은 반도체 제품의 수익향상 측면에서 매우 큰 장애가 되고 있다. 따라서 설계의 복잡화와 구현의 어려움 이라는 기술적인 문제들을 해결하여 시장에서의 생존이 걸린 극한적인 경쟁환경에서 살아 남기위해서는 반도체 설계의 paradigm 자체를 변화 시켜야 할 것이다. 이에 대한 해법으로 반도체 설계의 abstraction level을 현재의 RTL에서 상위 수준으로 올리고 설계의 virtualization을 해야 한다는 것은 설계 재사용과 신개념 검증 방법 기술과 함께 필수적인 변화의 한 방향이다. 이미 수년전부터 많은 연구 논문에서 이와 관련된 새로운 system 설계 기술들이 제시되어 왔고, 이에 대응하는 platform 기반의 설계기법 소개와 삼성전자의 구축현황에 대해 저자는 지난 논문에서 기술 한 바 있다. 본 논문은 2003년 9월 이후 platform 설계기법의 virtual 화가 어떻게 발전되어 왔는지에 대해 기술하고 문제점 확인 및 앞으로 이에 대한 해결 방안들의 방향에 대해 논하고자 한다.

Recently, a new theoretical and methodological approach for computational science is becoming more and more popular for analyzing and solving scientific problems in various scientific disciplines and applied research. Computational science is a field of study concerned with constructing mathematical models and quantitative analysis techniques and using large computing resources to solve the problems which are difficult to approach in a physical experimentally. In this paper, we present R&D of EDISON open integration platform that allows anyone like professors, researchers, industrial workers, students etc to upload their advanced research result such as simulation SW to use and share based on the cyber infrastructure of supercomputer and network. EDISON platform, which consists of 3 tiers (EDISON application framework, EDISON middleware, and EDISON infra resources) provides Web portal for education and research in 5 areas (CFD, Chemistry, Physics, Structural Dynamics, Computational Design) and user service.
