  • Agricultural machines can be viewed as a very important factor to reduce the workforce and reduce production costs as well as keep up with now days trend caused Labor shortages and the workforce reduction by aging in rural. The latest agricultural machinery has developed into a major agricultural industry to apply and integrate the telecommunication, next-generation batteries, semiconductors, wireless communications, content and high-tech display industry technology with a wide range of applications. In this study, to apply the information and communication technologies on agricultural planters relied on a mechanical method, we designed a quick and sophisticated ICT convergence planters that enable to monitor.

  • An increased number of cases have occurred in applying ICT technology in the resource development field due to factors such as safety, eco-friendliness, and low cost since the 2000s. In Korea, the 2nd mining master plan specified the significance of converging the full cycle of mining and ICT, while the 3rd mining master plan highlighted ICT and smart mining such as supporting the supply of an ICT mining device and introducing demonstrational smart mining. This study introduces the application of an ICT device and safety system operation in the Jangseong underground mine of Korea Cement Co., Ltd. Currently, Jangseong mine combines two different kinds of 3D equipment including the handheld 3D scanner and multi-station that provides both the measurement and 3D scanning to perform a 3D measurement of the mine. Taken from the 3D measurement of the mine, it is now possible to identify any hazardous areas and abnormalities in different directions and analyze the safety of the crown pillar between two stopes in different level. Besides, the real-time location tracking and communications system have established highly efficient rescue and evacuation plans to effectively deal with any accidents in the mine.

  • Innovation system is a framework concept that can be classified in many ways, namely-national, regional, sectoral and technological. Regardless of classification, all these systems have some common features and characteristics as a system. Before the innovation system concept, Mongolia developed and implemented a system to maintain nation's capacity to acquire, absorb and disseminate technologies like other countries. There were two important practices in the system development. Firstly, Mongolia modified and implemented a system "ShBOS" (meant "Invention and Innovative Idea System") that met its unique features to create innovative culture in the nation. Secondly, newly emerged ICT sector was quickly scaled up to be able to export technological products. The main objective of this article is to study modern experience of developing the national innovation system in Mongolia, assess current state of the system, innovation awareness and readiness, and carry out recommendations on its improvement with particular focus on the capacity of ICT sector as a pilot sector. The paper suggests that the above mentioned two achievements can be applied for developing the national innovation system through technological innovation system approach.

  • 글로벌 기후변화 및 에너지 고갈 문제가 전(全) 지구적 이슈로 부각됨에 따라 다양한 그린 에너지기술에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있고, 기존 주력 기술분야와 정보통신기술과의 융합을 통한 새로운 기술개발이 활발하게 추진되고 있다. 스마트그리드 기술은 이러한 패러다임에서 탄생한 기술 분야이며, 녹색 기술의 대표적인 기술 사례로 분류되고 있다. 스마트그리드에 대한 개념이 국내에 도입된 이후 기술 개발 성과 실증과 비즈니스 모델을 발굴하고자 시작되었던 제주 스마트그리드 실증단지 구축 사업도 금년 5월을 기점으로 완료될 예정이다. 스마트그리드 실증단지 구축을 통해 소비자 도메인에서의 다양한 에너지관리 솔루션 구축 방법에 대하여 확인할 수 있는 기회도 되었으나 표준화 기반의 상호운용성이 확보되지 않아 컨소시엄 간의 시스템 연동이 어려운 문제도 확인할 수 있었다. 스마트그리드는 보다 강건하고 신뢰성 있는 전력시스템의 현대화 및 지능화를 위하여 ICT(Information and Communication Technology) 기술을 활용하는 것이 필요하며, 전력공급자와 소비자 사이의 양방향 전력 및 정보의 실시간 교환 특성을 활용하여 에너지를 효율적으로 사용하도록 하는 시스템의 도입이 무엇보다 중요하다. 2011년 9/15 순환정전 사태는 전력공급 정책과 더불어 전력 소비자에 대한 관리 기능도 함께 검토되어야 한다는 것을 다시 한 번 크게 인식할 수 있는 계기가 되었다. 본 고에서는 이러한 중요성을 가지는 소비자 분야를 중심으로 한 스마트그리드 ICT 기술에 대하여 일부 주요 사항을 발췌하여 정리해 보고자 한다. 이를 위하여 스마트그리드의 전체적인 현황, 소비자 도메인에서의 스마트그리드 요소기술 및 ICT 기술의 핵심이 되는 소비자 도메인에서 사용되는 통신 기술을 중심으로 소비자 도메인 ICT 기술에 대하여 정리해 보고자 한다.

  • This study examined the impact of information and communications technology (ICT) on the sociocultural dimensions of the family by comparing ICT use in Korean, Chinese, and American families. This study investigated attitudes to ICT usage in the family context by country and explored how various consumers use ICT in the family context. The study explored how families can be clustered based on usage. ICT device ownership had differences in the use of ICT services including blogs and video chatting accounts. ICT usage in the family was also similar in all three countries in the study, but the depth of use differed. The cluster analysis indicated that users could be classified into four groups, however the proportion in each group differed by country. This study has implications for understanding ICT ownership and use by families in various countries and indicates that sociocultural elements are important in ICT use.

  • At a time when the e-commerce market is experiencing accelerated growth, with advancements in information and communications technology (ICT), the problems of distribution of counterfeit products and consumer confusion caused by non-face-to-face purchases have increased. Hence, amid intensifying competition, it has become important for e-commerce companies deliver product information more efficiently, provide differentiated services, and secure credibility for consumers by reducing consumer damage from buying counterfeit products. However, even though consumer confusion and the inadvertent purchase of counterfeit products are intensifying in such a market scenario, there are no services that aim to solve such problems. This study examines the conventional e-commerce industry in South Korea through a political, economic, social, and technological (PEST) analysis, based on in-depth interviews with consumers, to derive the pain and gain points of the industry. As a result, the inherent problems of the e-commerce industry were revealed. Through a service value network perspective, services aimed at resolving such issues were derived, and the e-commerce business ecosystem needed to solve this problem was deduced. The findings revealed that the artificial intelligence-based service support platform has become a major driving force within the e-commerce innovation ecosystem by enabling a new way to create and secure value using ICT. This entails a new exchange mechanism and transaction architecture and a new organizational structure that breaks the barriers between industries.

  • 정부의 ICT R&D는 전체산업 관점과 거시적 목적 지향적인 R&D 추진체계에서 필요한 R&D 목적달성을 위해 R&D투자재원의 효율적 배분이 매우 중요한 기능이 된다. 즉, R&D재원배분에 대한 다양한 기준들이 존재할 수 있으며, 이러한 상충적 배분기준들 사이에 객관적이고 효율적인 재원투자의 우선순위와 가중치가 기본적으로 필요하게 된다. R&D계획수립과 지원 분야선정을 위한 방법론으로 보편적으로 사용되고, 현장적용에 객관성을 확보하고 있는 AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) 모형을 통해 상충적 다중의사결정에 발생하는 기준의 선호에 대한 쌍대비교를 통해 객관적 선택기준과 대안적 선택에 대한 의사결정 프레임워크를 제공해준다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 정부의 ICT산업경쟁력 제고 목적달성을 위한 투자부문과 기술분야에 대한 실증적인 의사결정구조와 재원배분안을 제시하고자 한다.

  • Park, Keun-Hye government has just established a new ministry for integrating and managing the policies for science & technology and ICT. From the ICT governance perspective, the new ministry implies separating promotion policies from regulation polices. The current paper aims to present ICT policy implications by providing a perspective on regulation and promotion. A delphi survey was conducted for 32 experts in ICT sector. According to the experts, a clear distinction between regulation and promotion policies is difficult, and thus, integrating regulation and promotion policies looks more preferable. In general, an independent ministry that integrates regulation and promotion policies is mostly preferred. Some suggested an independent committee inside the ministry might be desirable, especially for the broadcasting regulation policy to be independent from the ministry control. The current study proposes tight collaboration between the newly established ICT ministry and the Korea Communications Commission, and in the long term, integrated administration of promotion and regulation policies. In particular, this study emphasizes the importance of the integrated policy management to enhance government policy capacity.
