  • In this paper. the research issues and trends are analysed by reviewing the journal of the Korea Society of IT Services which published from Dec. 2002 to Jun. 2010. The 306 papers which published were included in this project. The quantitative analyses were implemented about the volume of papers and researchers. The papers are categorized as project management. service science, service computing and IT technology, software engineering, solution, outsourcing management. element technology and methodology, strategy and management. policy, laws, and systems related IT services. Specially the qualitative analyses were implemented about research issues and trends through the content analysis about the paper details, abstract and key words described. We can find the more case of the theoretical study on the areas of the strategy and management, policy, laws, and systems, also the practical study on the service computing and IT technology, and solution area than the other areas. In this research, finally, the author can suggest that the integrated control be required to editing board for the effective classification of subjected paper candidate. Also the evaluation methodology such us experiment, performance comparative, should be adopted for the theoretical or practical study because the academic research requires the more scientific research methodology.

Interactions between Science, Technology and Innovation Policy Issues and Academic Research: A Case of the Qualitative Content Analysis on Major Newspapers and Academic Journals between 2008-2011 (과학기술혁신정책 이슈와 학술연구 간의 상호관계연구: 2008~2011년 주요 일간지와 학술지에 대한 질적내용분석을 중심으로)

  • Science, technology and innovation policy (STI policy) is a result of the interactions between the social issues and academic research. Understanding the interactions of the STI policy between the social issues and academic research can throw some light on designing better policies and enhancing the social value of academic research. Thus, this paper explores the interactions of the STI policy between the social issues and academic research using the qualitative content analysis of major newspapers and journal articles in Korea. We have three major findings. First, on the one hand, academic research rose after uprising changes in the STI policy issues in the society. Second, on the other hand, social issues on STI policy were influenced by academic research reflecting the fundamental changes in the Korean innovation system and the nature of technology. Third, there are strong policy demands regarding the role of the STI policy for society and for traditional economic domains, but relevant research is scarce up to now. These findings contribute to uncovering the potential policy domains and agendas for policy makers and researchers.

  • With the wide deployment of biometric authentication systems, several issues pertaining security and privacy of the biometric template have gained great attention from the research community. To resolve these issues, a number of biometric template protection methods have been proposed. However, the design of a template protection method to satisfy four criteria, namely diversity, revocability and non-invertibility is still a challenging task, especially performance degradation when template protection method is employed. In this paper, we propose a novel method to generate a revocable minutiae-based fingerprint template. The proposed method consists of feature extraction from fingerprint minutiae pairs, quantization, histogram binning, binarization and eventually binary bit-string generation. The contributions of our method are two fold: alignment-free and good performance. Various experiments on FVC2004 DB1 demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Studies on the Operating Requirements of Multi-Resolution Modeling in Training War-Game Model and on the Solutions for Major Issues of Multi-Resolution Interoperation between Combat21 Model and TMPS (훈련용 워게임 모델의 다중해상도모델링 운영소요 및 전투21모델과 TMPS의 다중해상도 연동간 주요 이슈 해결 방안 연구)

  • This study focuses on the operating requirements of multi-resolution modeling(MRM) in training war-game model and proposes solutions for major issues of multi-resolution interoperation between Combat21 model and tank multi-purpose simulator(TMPS). We study the operating requirements of MRM through interviews with defense M&S experts and literature surveys and report the various issues that could occur with low-resolution model Combat21 and high-resolution model TMPS linked, for example, when to switch objects, what information to exchange, what format to switch to, and how to match data resolutions. This study also addresses the purpose and concept of training using multi-resolution interoperation, role of each model included in multi-resolution interoperation, and issue of matching damage assessments when interoperated between models with different resolutions. This study will provide the common goals and directions of MRM research to MRM researchers, defense modeling & simulation organizations and practitioners.

  • This study examined the evolution of S&T Basic Acts in Korea from the Science and Technology Promotion Act (1967) through the Special Act on STI (1997) to the Framework Act on Science and Technology (2001) in the following aspects: 1) comprehensive plans, 2) coordination mechanisms for S&T policies, 3) enforcement of R&D programs and performance diffusion, 4) promotion of human resources, 5) and S&T investment and budgeting. Before the Framework Act on S&T was enacted in 2001, critical issues were found in establishing S&T master plans, promotion of R&D programs, comprehensive coordination mechanisms, and R&D budgeting. The three Basic Acts have expanded the scope of regulation over time to cover the entire cycle of the S&T process. They concern a wide range of issues, including creating a basis for scientific and technological development, S&T promotion, disseminating and commercializing research outcomes, and preventing adverse effects from science and technology. The content of the Basic Acts has evolved in response to changes in the political, economic, and social environment of Korean industry during the past five decades.

  • This paper aims to examine the philosophical significance of neuroethics and its unique position within the cognitive paradigm, and to discuss major issues of neuroethics. Recent advances in neuroscience enable more direct access and intervention to human mind, which reduces the distinction between matter and mind and brings up new philosophical questions on human nature. Neuroethics takes interdisciplinary and integrative approach, in order to deal with the ethical issues related to new findings and technology of neuroscience that cannot be covered by the traditional legal and social systems. Some of the ethical issues of neuroscience overlap with the classical bioethics problems but majority of major issues are unique to neuroethics. These issues are mainly related to mind reading through the observation and decoding of brain activities and to cognitive enhancement through directly manipulating brain functions. Considering the current status and trends of Korean neuroscientific research, it is necessary to begin in-depth discussion of neuroethical issues with the collaboration among experts in related fields.

  • Jet Propulsion Laboratory has traditionally performed system level vibration testing of flight spacecraft. There have been many discussions in the aerospace community for more than a decade about spacecraft vibration testing benefits or lack thereof. The benefits and potential issues of fully assembled flight spacecraft vibration testing are discussed herein. The following specific topics are discussed: spacecraft screening test to uncover workmanship problems for launch dynamics environments, force- and moment-limited vibration testing, potential issues with structural frequency identification using base shake test data, and failures related to vibration shaker testing and ways to prevent them.

  • With scaled technology, timing analysis of circuits becomes more and more difficult. In this paper, we review recently developed circuit simulation techniques created to deal with the cost issues of transistor-level simulations. Various techniques for fast SPICE simulations and Monte Carlo simulations are introduced. Moreover, process and aging variation issues are mentioned, along with promising methodologies.
