It is becoming increasingly difficult to identify promising technologies due to the influx of new technologies and the high level of complexity involved in many of these technologies. Identifying promising information and communications technology (ICT)-based converging technologies holds the key to finding new sources of economic growth and forward momentum. The goal of this study is to identify cutting-edge ICT-based converging technologies by examining the latest trends in the US patent market. Analyzing the US patent market, the most competitive of such markets in the world, can yield certain clues about which of the ICT-based converging technologies may be the next revolutionary technologies. For a classification of these technologies, this study follows the International Patent Classification system. As for ICT, there are 58 related fields at the subclass level and 831 fields at the main-group level. For emerging and converging technologies, there are 75 at the main-group level. From these technologies, a final selection for cutting-edge ICT-based converging technologies is made using a composite index reflecting the converging coefficient, emerging coefficient, and technology impact index.

Super aged society, Japan actively uses Information Communication Technology(ICT) as one of solving methods for various social problem. Especially, for Korea where soon will become super aged society, it would be meaningful to examine the current policy trends and utilization of senior support using ICT in Japan. This study explores the policy trends and utilization of senior support using ICT in Japan through literature review, and then proposes some suggestions as follows. Opportunities for practical use of ICT should be widened in the field of senior support, and efforts are needed to build an information linkage network between institutions for senior support because linkage between care sector and medical sector is important for the elderly support. Besides, simplification of paperwork and easing of burden of care providers or workers in the field should be sought by development and dissemination of various robots. Moreover, the spread of technology for emotional support and stability should be actively pursued by using ICT.

ICT(Information and Communication Technology)의 발전속에서 늘 그 중심에 서 있던 이슈는 플랫폼이다. ICT 업계에서 제공하는 서비스를 이용하는 일반 사용자들은 플랫폼의 존재를 알지 못하면서 자연스럽게 서비스를 이용하지만 그 이면에는 사용자들에게 자신의 플랫폼을 제공하기 위한 노력이 숨어 있는 것이다. 즉, 플랫폼 지배를 통해 ICT 업계의 선두를 유지해 오거나 선두로 나서고자 하는 노력과 시도는 늘 있어 왔으며 플랫폼 기술은 단일 목적 단일 서비스 지원을 위한 하드웨어, 소프트웨어 플랫폼에서 출발하여 개인화 서비스 플랫폼, 클라우드 기반 서비스 플랫폼을 거쳐 융합 서비스 플랫폼까지 발전 해 왔다. 서비스 사용자들에게 공통 요소를 제공해 준다는 플랫폼의 본질은 변화되지 않고 있지만 관련 기술의 발전과 더불어 플랫폼을 바라보는 관점에 따라 플랫폼의 구조와 기능 발전을 거듭해 왔다고 볼 수 있다. 본고에서는 이러한 ICT 업계의 기술 발전 흐름 속에서 가장 큰 의미를 담고 있는 플랫폼에 대해 다양한 관점에서의 플랫폼의 의미와 변화를 살펴보고자 한다. 그리고 나서, 플랫폼 기술 발전의 흐름 속에서 사용자들에게 Tele-experience 서비스를 쉽게 사용할 수 있도록 지원해주고 서비스를 제공해 주는 Tele-experience 실감서비스 플랫폼 개발 방향과 이슈에 대해 살펴봄으로써, 향후 플랫폼의 역할에 대해 조명해 보고자 한다

E-Government refers to government to use ICT (information and communications technology) to work more effectively, share information and deliver better services to the public. With ICT, e-Government has increased transparency of governments. However even there has been much trial for transparency, corruption has been growing with the form of e-corruption. While external threats such as hackers and viruses can have serious consequences, currently most crime involving emerging technology is carried out by insiders i.e. employees in the e-government. Among the many tools being developed to fight e-corruption, there has been much focus lately on internal control system. So, South Korea developed and test-operated "Barum e-system" for internal control last year. This research establishes legal basis, information system link and privacy policy for settlement of this information system through legal review.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the current status of information and communications technology(ICT) uses of the faculty members at national universities of education and to provide guidelines for ICT in education. The survey was conducted to examine factors related to the use of ICT, including faculty members' abilities to use ICT with respect to gender, age, and previous experiences with computers and to analyze their relevance to instructional methods. The results of the survey showed that female faculty members and male faculty members in their sixties and those with less years of teaching career were more likely to need support for using ICT than the others. The direct instructional method and discussion were the most frequently used; discussion was positively correlated with ICT uses. It was also found that faculty members anticipated more difficulties in using ICT in class and needed to work in a collaborative way and learn more effective use of ICT in the teaching and learning process.

As the information and communications market goes more uncertain, foresight activities becomes more important. A number of foresight activities, such as trend analysis, have been used to predict customer needs. However previous studies tend to lack objectivity and systematization. In this study, we suggest a meta analysis methodology which combines both top-down and bottom-up approach in order to systematize the analysis process. Secondly, we applied this approach to ICT market to identify essential future technologies. Based on the result from the meta analysis, we have constructed the future technology roadmap.
