Agricultural extension service in Ethiopia was started in early 1950s with mandate of transferring local research outputs and technologies to farmers, and importing technologies and improved practices from abroad. Extension service provided in this early time was limited to areas surrounding the experiment stations. Since then, Ethiopian Agricultural extension service has passed through at least five stages: the land grant extension system, the Comprehensive Package Programs, the Minimum Package Projects, the Peasant Agricultural Development Program, and the Participatory Demonstration and Training Extension System (PADETS). The comprehensive package extension program was initially implemented in selected pilot areas and eventually to be scaled up to cover about 90% of the farming community within 15-20 years time. The program used demonstration plots managed by development agents and used to train farmers organized through various field days. However, since all of these programs were operational in only small areas, the vast majority of the country was out of their reach. Through Participatory Demonstration and Training Extension System, the extension service in Ethiopia has come under the spotlight and government debates and external reviews are putting additional scrutiny on the system. Despite this long history, the system is still in its infancy in terms of coverage, communication and institutional pluralism. Currently in Ethiopia the Agricultural extension is provided primarily by the public sector, operating in a decentralized manner through which extension is implemented at the district level. Therefore, the main focus of this paper is to scrutinize the past, the present and the future Agricultural extension system in Ethiopia.

Technology transfer from universities and research institutes to industries is recognized as a critical issue to strengthen industrial competitiveness, and the roles of technology transfer intermediaries are becoming one of the most important factors for successful technology transfer In today's global and knowledge-based economies, technology transfer services are started shifting to Internet and vertical transfer of technology from R&D labs to industries is becoming more emphasized than horizontal company-to-company transfer of commercialized technology. And the need of comprehensive technology transfer services necessitates cooperation among technology transfer intermediaries and networks offering complementary services. In order to respond to these changes, it is required to construct a new type of technology transfer system. But there are few researches on technology transfer system configuration for design and realization of technology transfer intermediaries. This paper presents the configuration models of technology transfer from universities and research institutes to industries. The configuration models are classified and described from the viewpoint of flows of information, technology and knowledge.

21세기 무한경쟁시대에 대비하여 국가산업의 경쟁력제고는 물론 지역의 균형발전을 위해 추진하고 있는 경부고속철도 건설사업은 2004년 4월 개통을 목표로 마무리 단계에 접어들었다. 경부고속철도 건설사업을 통하여 우수하고 완벽한 성능의 고속열차도입과 함께 첨단기술을 이전받아 기술수준을 향상시켰고 G7 연구개발 사업으로 시속 350Km급의 차세대 차량을 설계, 제작할수 있는 능력을 보유하게 되었다. 철도는 육로 교통수단과 달리 시스템적 특성이 매우 강하다. 즉 토목, 건축, 기계, 전기, 전자 등 각 분야의 균등한 기술발전을 도모하여야 철도선진국에 진입할 수 있으며 해외 진출이 가능하다. 사업 추진과정에서 습득한 각종 기술은 향후 건설사업의 독자적 추진을 가능케 하였으며, 철도차량의 제작사뿐만 아니라 부품업체가 해외시장을 개척할 수 있는 능력을 갖추어 철도 선진국으로 도약할 수 있는 기틀을 마련하였다.

한국원자력연구소의 로봇개발팀에서는 중장기 연구 개발 과제가 이루어지기 이전인 87년부터 원자력 기초/기반 기술 연구 분야로서 원격 조작 기술, 고지능 로봇 기술 등을 기본 과제 형태로 자체 추진하여 핵심 요소 기술을 구축하였으며, 92년부터는 원자력 중장기 연구 개발 과제와 연계하여 인간의 접근이 제한된 고방사선 지역에서의 감시 및 점검 작업 로봇 분야를 집중 연구 개발하기 시작하였다. 개발 대상인 원격 제어 로봇 시스템은 원자력발전소에서의 점검 및 감시 작업을 원격/무인/자동화하여, 사람이 접근하기 어려운 고방사선 환경하에서의 감시$\cdot$점검$\cdot$유지 및 보수 작업을 함으로써 작업의 안전성 및 신뢰성을 향상시키고 또한 작업의 효율을 극대화시킬 수 있다. 특히 사람을 대신한 로봇 활용은 극한 작업을 원격 무인화할 수 있기 때문에 ALARA 개념에 의한 관련 종사자의 방사선 피폭을 보다 낮출 수 있을 것으로 전망된다.

Nowadays almost nations try to promote the competition of nation through the development of national science technology. Also Korea has been engaging in this race of through public research&development institute. But recently the commercialization of R&D products appears a poor result in the royalty of technology according weak technology transfer toward IT small and medium-sized enterprises. Even If we have been trying to find the problems and causes, as yet it is true that we don't solve clearly the problem, make a diagnosis about it. This paper analyzes the process of commercialization in public R&D research institute(ETRI: Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute) through system thinking and researches an interrelationship among government agency, public R&D research institute, and enterprise. This one can find the fact that between research fund and R&D products, transfer technology and royalty, and enterprise's operating profit and active technology transfer like adding technology development is a positive feedback loop. This positive feedback loop in the commercialization of public R&D research institute carries out very important role in examining problems in R&D product's commercialization. Also this paper looks forward to being a guide in the commercialization of public R&D research institute.

This paper describes a monitoring system that examines water quality by analyzing behavioral patterns of fishes. The water quality inspection system (WQIS) captures color images of fishes with a CCD camera, extracts out fish regions from the images, and determines motion characteristics of fishes by computing consecutive frames. We define five types of measures that reflect behavioral patterns of fishes : floatness, fledness, clustemess, diffusiveness, and mobility. These measures are utilized when the system performs fuzzy inference to induce the conclusion about water quality. We believe that the proposed system can be a solution for securing clean water.

R&D 기획은 연구 개발 전주기에 있어 수행, 평가에 앞서 필수적으로 선행되어야 하는 행위이다. 그렇지만, 아직까지 R&D 기획에서 무엇을 다루어야 하는지에 대한 원칙, 사례만 존재하고 이를 통합 시스템화하지 못하고 있어, 대부분의 연구자들은 논문, 특허, 웹을 포함한 다양한 자원들로부터 정보를 수집, 취합, 분석하는 데 많은 시간을 뺏기고 있는 형편이다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해서 본 연구 이전에 시맨틱 기술과 텍스트 마이닝 기술을 이용하여 R&D 전략 수립을 지원하고자 InSciTe, InSciTe Advanced 등이 개발되었지만, R&D 기획이라는 궁극적 목적 내에서도 사용자마다 다양한 시나리오들을 분별하여 지원하기에는 어려움이 많았다. 이에 본 연구는 사용자 적응적 가이드 방식을 통합적으로 적용하여 실시간으로 변화하는 사용자 관심을 파악하고, 대표적 시나리오들에 맞추어 사용자가 목적을 효과적으로 달성할 수 있도록 지원하는 데 초점을 맞추고자 한다. 먼저 사용자 적응적 가이드 방식의 R&D 기획 시스템 구축을 위해 필요한 요구 사항들과 이들을 효과적으로 시스템에 반영하기 위한 온톨로지, 웹 서비스 중심의 설계 원칙들을 제시함으로써 R&D 기획뿐만 아니라 타 분야에서도 유연하게 적용할 수 있는 기반을 제공한다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze achievements in industry - academia cooperation and to draw policy implications. To accomplish this, I analyzed the achievements of industry - academia cooperation in a timely manner. Research shows that the total research fund of universities has (consistently)increased, and the intellectual property rights in various fields have increased. Domestic patents are the most successful, and design and trademarks have significantly increased. Second, as the number of patent applications increases, the required research funding per piece has decreased, and the productivity has increased significantly. In addition, the number of technology patents exceeded 4 per 1 billion won of research funding. The third transfer period of technology started in earnest following the establishment of the Industry-University Cooperation Act in 2003, and has shown positive results. A recent trend, however, has been a tendency that the technology fee per technology transfer has been declining. It is necessary to evaluate the industry-university cooperation system and improve the performance of the technical fee. In addition, it is necessary to increase research funding not only in science and technology, but also in the humanities and social sciences.
