We propose a multi-strategic concept-spotting approach for robust spoken language understanding of conversational Korean in a hostile recognition environment such as in-car navigation and telebanking services. Our concept-spotting method adopts a partial semantic understanding strategy within a given specific domain since the method tries to directly extract predefined meaning representation slot values from spoken language inputs. In spite of partial understanding, we can efficiently acquire the necessary information to compose interesting applications because the meaning representation slots are properly designed for specific domain-oriented understanding tasks. We also propose a multi-strategic method based on this concept-spotting approach such as a voting method. We present experiments conducted to verify the feasibility of these methods using a variety of spoken Korean data.

Successful opening and operating of High Speed Rail in South Korea make the Korean railway industry the world's five great powers. It provides an opportunity to enter overseas rail industry to the related companies actively. Lastly developing countries want to learn about Korea's development experience and apply to there country. Also development cooperation needs are increasing. The State Brand Committee is promoting the 'Hangeul advocacy and globalization' which is expanding technology to the overseas that can be grafted in the Korean railway system as well as contributing to the globalization policies. Korea Railroad Corporation can enhance the national brand and rise of the Name value simultaneously by disseminating of operation technology. It would be a worthy project. In this study, effective support for developing strategic partnerships with the developing countries can build a future of growth.

This study is focused on measuring levels of science and technology aspect of ten strategic items in korea to serve as a guidance for the government R&D policy-making, and provide appropriate information for promoting the national R&D programs. The survey of the precise technology level for study applies functional and technical parameters. Functional parameters are used for measuring technology level of the specification and performance of emerging items such as 256M DRAM, TFT-LCD ect. in the present and / or near future; technical parameters, the element / core technologies on emerging items. The study suggests that the result of the survey should be applied for strategic technology planning to narrow the technology gap and draw the criteria for resource allocation in national R&D programs.

In this study, several factors which can have an effect on soil during strategic environmental assessment (SEA) are analyzed against a total of 86 administrative plans and development basic plans of the SEA. Other factors which could have influences on soil are also analyzed after examining contents and rules required for preparing the SEA statement. Then, we propose assessment factors on soils during the SEA procedure. We think that this study could give baseline data to set up assessment items, criteria, and techniques that are highly necessitated in preparation of the SEA statement in the near future.

ODA projects such as multi-purpose dam, industrial complex, road construction etc. have resulted in environmental damage and resident relocation including destruction of site of living. Even the grandiose developments as ODA projects have made clear the value clashes between development and environmental conservation, and have brought about conflicts between public interests and public environmental right, and the discordance between public interests and private property rights in the recipient country. This study summarizes and analyses the Korea's ODA projects and will suggest the public participation and governance system based on Saemaul Movement, Strategic Environmental Assessment and Environmental Impact Assessment based on the guideline of OECD DAC, and emphasize Strategic Environmental Assessment and Social Impact Assessment in the procedure of ODA projects. In the future the ODA project should be implemented for the overcome of poverty and response to climate change based on the experience and trial and errors of Korea's compact growth and past ODA projects.

The study was focused on setting priority for future core technologies in agricultural mechanization using AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process). A total of 23 technologies was selected by specialists. Evaluation criteria for the priority setting were decided as 'technology', 'marketability', and 'publicity'. Thirteen specialists in agricultural mechanization answered the questionnaire for AHP. As the results, 'technology' was decided as the most important evaluation criterion. 'feasibility' in 'technology' criterion, 'market growth' in 'marketability' criterion, and 'impact to other industry' in 'publicity' criterion were decided as sub-criteria in each criterion. The most important technology was 'Development of portable safety evaluation system for fresh and convenient agricultural products'.

The objective of this study was to set priority for future core technologies in agricultural and environmental science using analytic hierarchy process(AHP). Forty-six technologies were derived by specialist meetings. Evaluation criteria, for setting the priority were decided as 'technology', 'marketability', and 'public'. Eighteen specialists in agricultural and environmental science answered to the questionnaire for AHP. As the results, 'technology' was decided as the most important evaluation criterion. The 'Feasibility' in 'technology' criterion, 'Market Growth' in 'marketability' criterion, and 'Impact to other industry' in 'public' criterion were decided as sub-criteria in each criterion. The most important technology was 'Risk assessment of toxic heavy metals and establishment of accreditation criteria for environmentally friendly agricultural products.

This paper suggests a dynamic balanced scorecard (DBSC) model employing the concept of system dynamics (SD), which could overcome the limitations inherent in the conventional balanced scorecard (BSC) and facilitate strategic learning process in organizations. The BSC has been a successful framework for measuring an organization＇s performance in various Perspectives through translating an organization＇s vision and strategy into an interrelated set of key performance indicators and specific actions. The BSC, while having significant strengths over traditional performance measurement methods, however, has its own limitations, due to its static nature, such as overlooking two-way causation between performance Indicators and neglecting the impact of delayed feedback flowing from the adoption of new strategies or policy changes. To overcome these limitations, we employs SD, a methodology for understanding complex systems where dynamic feedback among the interrelated system components significantly impact on the system outcomes. The SD simulation model in the form of DBSC we suggest in this paper would serve as a useful strategic learning tool for facilitating an organization＇s communication process through various scenario analyses as well as predicting the dynamic behavior pattern of their key performance measures over a future time frame. For the demonstration purpose, we apply the DBSC model to Korea Coal Corporation (KoCoal ) BSC case.

Despite much discussions on cyber-terrorism in South Korea, several missing issues could be addressed. This paper attempts to deal with such missing but important issues. In South Korea, there has been little attentions on cyber-terrorism with the respects of national security strategy development under macro framework responding to future security environment. This article focuses on such issues. In other words, the purpose of this paper evaluates the meaning of national security threats raised from cyber-terrorism as a mode of security threats and proposes the matter of cyber-terrorism within the development of national security strategy in the future security environment. several issues in this discussion pass some important messages for the construction of national security strategic approach framework within the future security environment adding cyber-space. in the future environment, a new space called cyber is added as an important external condition which might determine the security of individuals, societies, and nations. Therefore, the fundamental strategic framework should be prepared. After that, the trend and direction of future technological advancement should be understood and the identity, nature, and types of threat should be analyzed. Also, after that, various responses and countermeasures are together constituted in the aspect of function and system regarding various anticipated threats of the future human society including cyber-terrorism.
