Objectives This study presents a methodology that enables a quantitative assessment of green chemistry technologies. Methods The study carries out a quantitative evaluation of a particular case of material reutilization by calculating the level of "greenness" i.e., the level of compliance with the principles of green chemistry that was achieved by implementing a green chemistry technology. Results The results indicate that the greenness level was enhanced by 42% compared to the pre-improvement level, thus demonstrating the economic feasibility of green chemistry. Conclusions The assessment technique established in this study will serve as a useful reference for setting the direction of industry-level and government-level technological R&D and for evaluating newly developed technologies, which can greatly contribute toward gaining a competitive advantage in the global market.

Technology assessment has drawn enormous amounts of various attention as well as participation mostly in industrialized countries. This paper deals with the implications of technology assessment especially in newly developed countries. Firstly, definition and present status of technology assessment are depicted. Secondly, methodology of technology assessment is reviewed in detail at two different levels; one is the methodology at procedural or epistemological level and the other is the methodology at specific or particular level. Finally, policy recommendations and suggestion concerned with the activity of technology assessment in Korea are presented.

Purpose: Technology readiness assessment(TRA) used as a standard readiness assessment tool in the acquisition program of weapon system has some limitations in the comprehensive understanding of the complex system. Therefore, this research is intended to suggest a holistic maturity assessment method for the acquisition of high quality weapon system. Methods: Technology readiness level(TRL), manufacturing readiness level(MRL), integration readiness level(IRL) and system readiness level(SRL) developed to assess system maturities in the various aspects are compared and analyzed to draw an improvement avenue for the current readiness assessment method. Results: TRL, MRL, IRL and SRL have large differences in their maturity targets during the acquisition life cycle: technological performance, manufacturing capability, interface between components and total system, respectively. They complement one another's shortcomings Conclusion: To achieve a successful acquisition of high quality weapon system, multi-dimensional readiness assessment is required. Therefore, comprehensive readiness assessment using TRL, MRL, IRL and SRL will contribute to the acquisition of high quality weapon system through the accurate maturity information of overall system.

The purpose of this research is to develop an information technology (IT) usage level assessment model for service industry. It is necessary to develop an assessment model for service industry's IT usage to improve service productivity. However, it is not easy to develop assessment models due to service industry's diversity. In this paper a generic IT usage assessment model for service industry has been developed and validated through a descriptive approach. Key factors affecting service productivity have been identified and analysed. A pilot test on IT usage level has been performed to investigate the relevance and importance of IT usage indicators (factors). As a result, a set of effective IT usage indicators for service industry have been found. A short-cut model and a full scale model have been proposed for efficient and effective usage. The results of this study can be used for enhancement of service industry productivity through the increase of IT usage level.

A quality assurance safety assessment database, called QUARK (QUality Assurance Program for Radioactive Waste Management in Korea), has been developed to manage both analysis information and parameter database for safety assessment of low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste (LILW) disposal facility in Korea. QUARK is such a tool that serves QA purposes for managing safety assessment information properly and securely. In QUARK, the information is organized and linked to maximize the integrity of information and traceability. QUARK provides guidance to conduct safety assessment analysis, from scenario generation to result analysis, and provides a window to inspect and trace previous safety assessment analysis and parameter values. QUARK also provides default database for safety assessment staff who construct input data files using SAGE(Safety Assessment Groundwater Evaluation), a safety assessment computer code.

This paper expanded the usefulness of technology relation analysis by applying to R&D activities of Korea Gas Corporation (Kogas) at the corporate level. Technology relation analysis has been applied to assessment of R&D investments in telecommunication and construction industries in Korea. As empirical findings, technology map and technology spillover matrix of Kogas have been derived by technology similarity analysis. It has bee found that various useful information for R&D assessment could be acquired from the technology relation analysis at the corporate level.

국토교통부는 2014년부터 한국형 위성보강항법시스템 (SBAS; satellite based augmentation system)인 KASS (Korea augmentation satellite system) 개발 구축 사업을 진행 중이다. KASS는 실제 운영 중 문제가 발생할 경우 인명 및 재산피해와 연결될 수 있어 시스템 개발을 위한 안전성 평가가 매우 중요하다. 안전성 평가의 핵심은 위해 식별과 심각도 판정에 따른 개발보증레벨 (DAL; design assurance level) 할당이다. 본 연구에서는 항공시스템의 안전성 평가 방법론을 제시하는 국제표준인 SAE (society of automotive engineers) ARP4761 (aerospace recommended practice)을 기반으로 KASS 및 그 하위시스템에 대해 개발보증레벨 할당을 수행한다. 이것은 전체 시스템 안전성 평가의 첫 단계이므로 향후 KASS 개발 구축 사업의 안전성 평가에 활용될 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 특허맵 분석 데이터 구축 과정에서 필요한 효율적인 노이즈 제거방법과 신뢰도가 향상된 기술수준 평가를 제안한다. 과거 수작업으로만 진행하였던 노이즈 제거 과정을 논리 연산자 AND를 활용하여 엑셀 VBA(Visual Basic Application)에서 프로그램화 하여 효율적으로 제거하여 유효 데이터를 획득할 수 있게 된다. 신뢰도가 향상된 특허의 기술수준 평가를 위하여 평균 청구항 수, 특허 패밀리 사이즈(PFS: Patent Family Size), 특허당 인용도 지수(CPP: Cites per Patent), 삼극특허, 규격화 특허경쟁력 지수(stdPCPI: Standardization Patent Diversification Index), haF-index(Hirsch a Family index)등을 사용하게 된다. 제안된 효율적인 노이즈 제거 작업을 적용한 결과는 획득된 특허 데이터의 노이즈 비율이 10% 미만으로 나타나서 데이터의 신뢰도가 높음이 확인되었다. 제안된 기술수준 평가 지수를 적용한 결과는 공통적으로 확인할 수 있는 정보에 의해 기술수준 평가를 산출함으로써 신뢰도가 향상된 균형적 기술수준 평가가 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 스마트 마이닝 기술의 수준을 체계적이고 구조화된 방법으로 평가할 수 있는 스마트 마이닝 기술 수준 진단평가 모델을 제안하였다. 이를 위해 스마트 마이닝의 성숙도를 정의하였으며, 제조업에서 활용되는 스마트 공장 진단평가 모델(KS X 9001-3)을 참조하여 스마트 마이닝 기술 수준 진단평가 모델의 세부평가항목 도출하였다. 기존의 체계를 유지하면서 기존 46개의 세부평가항목을 광업에 적합하도록 수정하였으며 추진전략, 프로세스, 정보시스템과 자동화, 성과 부문에서 총 29개의 세부 평가 항목을 도출하였다. 이를 토대로 스마트 마이닝 기술 수준 진단평가 설문지를 설계하였고, 국내의 철광산을 연구지역으로 설정한 다음 스마트 마이닝 기술 수준을 평가하였다. 연구지역의 스마트화 수준은 레벨 2로 나타났으며, 일반 제조업의 평균 스마트 수준과 비교했을 때 40% 정도 낮은 수준에 있음을 유추할 수 있었다. 또한, 개발된 모델을 이용하여 스마트 마이닝의 도입, 운영, 고도화의 단계별로 광산의 취약한 부분을 인지하고 투자 및 개선 방향을 제시할 수 있었다.

The Systems Interoperability Test and Evaluation System(SITES) is an T&E support tool for both information system and weapon system. The SITES was developed by reference to the Level of Information Systems Interoperability(LISI) in US. We use the tool via MND Broad convergence Network(BCN) in order to assess information system's interoperability. Nowadays, there are many ongoing researches on expanding assessment capability into weapon systems. As part of those research topics, this paper analyze the characteristics of tactical data-link messages which is the way to exchange the information among the weapon systems, and reflect that characteristics in interoperability level assessment.
