The Korean Smartphone industry has advanced rapidly. There seems to have a considerable change in Korea smartphone industry as the security policy related to wireless devices is changed from Whitelist Policy to Blacklist Policy. In regard to such a change, this paper analyzes the smartphone market in terms of the Business Ecosystem Model suggested by Moore. This study examines how Korean Smartphone Ecosystem has been formed and how any shifts in policy will have an effect on the ecosystem. In line with this policy shift, this study also suggests the ways how these ecosystem members should establish a strategy for the continuous development of this smartphone ecosystem. Furthermore, this study presents cooperation directions among ecosystem members based on the organic connections in the ecosystem as well as each individual's corresponding measures. In addition, based on this analysis, this study puts forward Korean smartphone ecosystem's current problems, improvement, and its future.

This study purposed to analyse smartphone addiction characteristics of people with disabilities and suggested to establish related prevention policies for them. The analysis of 20-50 aged 494 disabled people resulted, that the smartphone addiction rate of the disabled people was 12.55%. Smartphone use-, mobile messenger-, SNS- and game time were nearly the same or higher than the potential and high risk group from the survey on internet overdependence 2015. In the question about the awareness of smartphone addiction they answered the smartphone addiction is severe in the society, and they are aware of smartphone addiction counseling center. But they will not get a service form the centers. That suggests, that the government should promote the policy of smartphone addiction for the disabled. It should provide institutional strategy and structural change for prevention of smartphone addiction for the disabled.

As the smartphone market becomes saturated, an innovative device equipped with new features is expected to appear soon in mobile communications. In particular, various possibilities were raised regarding the alternative technologies that can develop post-smartphones, which are differentiated from the current smartphones, as Korea commercialized the 5G infrastructure for the first time in the world. Under these circumstances, the Korean government announced the "5G+ Strategy for Realizing Innovative Growth" in April 2019, vowing to build an innovative industrial ecosystem quickly while creating various convergence services based on the 5G infrastructure. As described above, the policy importance of the alternative technologies that will develop post-smartphones is increasing, but the theoretical study on the technology evolution of post-smartphones has not been systematically conducted until now. This study reviewed the alternative technologies that can develop post-smartphones through documentary research, and data mining analysis was performed on the research result using actual data. The policy priority was also set quantitatively for the alternative technologies of post-smartphones in order to determine the alternative post-smartphone technology that the government should focus on given the constraint of limited resources. As a results, autonomous vehicle(43.68%) was found to be most important, followed by artificial intelligence(17.4%) and Internet of Things(13.1%), among alternative technologies that could develop into the post-smartphone.

Promoting nationwide informatization by means of personal computer and wired Internet since the mid-1990s, the Republic of Korea has systematically dealt with the digital divide of older adults which has been lessened year by year. However, since the introduction of smartphone in Korea in 2009, the smartphone digital divide of older adults has been serious again. Therefore, this research will focus on the present situation and problems of smartphone digital divide of over-65 years old people and will suggest the proper policy solutions such as the enforcement of policy infrastructure, the expansion of smartphone education, the development of UI and contents, and the expansion of silver fare system and silver smartphone.

As smartphones support a variety of applications and their memory demand keeps increasing, the design of an efficient memory management policy is becoming increasingly important. Meanwhile, as nonvolatile memory (NVM) technologies such as PCM and STT-MRAM have emerged as new memory media of smartphones, characterizing memory references for NVM-based smartphone memory systems is needed. For the deep understanding of memory access features in smartphones, this paper performs comprehensive analysis of memory references for various smartphone applications. We first analyze the temporal locality and frequency of memory reference behaviors to quantify the effects of the two properties with respect to the re-reference likelihood of pages. We also analyze the skewed popularity of memory references and model it as a Zipf-like distribution. We expect that the result of this study will be a good guidance to design an efficient memory management policy for future smartphones.

This paper touches the limitations of existing theories related to technology acceptance, which mainly focus on users' perceived ease of use and usefulness, and proposes the role for sensory capabilities and enjoyment in understanding smartphone use. Furthermore, we develop a model that explains smartphone usage and intention to use it for a task and analyzes 442 questionnaire survey responses of smartphone users. First, perceived usefulness, perceived sensory capability, and perceived enjoyment influenced smartphone usage. Second, we found that both perceived usefulness and smartphone use were significantly associated with users' intention to utilize the smartphone for their job-related tasks. Finally, both perceived sensory capability and enjoyment were found to be more powerful factors than ease of use in explaining smartphone use. From the study findings, implications and future research directions are also discussed.

As the number of mobile applications increases rapidly, the overhead of swapping in smartphone memory systems keeps increasing. Unlike desktop or server systems, the basic setting of smartphones does not support swapping, so applications are killed when available memory is exhausted. This is because swapping in smartphones incurs excessive storage I/O overhead. In this article, we propose a swapping policy for smartphones, which significantly reduces storage I/Os. The proposed policy categorizes mobile applications based on their functional characteristics, and controls the number of applications to be swapped based on application priorities and memory situations. Measurement experiments with Android reference devices show that the proposed swapping policy dramatically reduces the overhead of swapping in various mobile applications.

Buffer cache bridges the performance gap between memory and storage, but its effectiveness is limited due to periodic flush, performed to prevent data loss in smartphones. This paper shows that selective flushing technique with small persistent memory can reduce the flushing overhead of smartphone buffer cache significantly. This is due to our I/O analysis of smartphone applications in that a certain hot data account for most of file writes, while a large proportion of file data incurs single-writes. The proposed selective flushing policy performs flushing to persistent memory for frequently updated data, and storage flushing is performed only for single-write data. This eliminates storage write traffic and also improves the space efficiency of persistent memory. Simulations with popular smartphone application I/O traces show that the proposed policy reduces write traffic to storage by 24.8% on average and up to 37.8%.
