In this paper, we analyze the result of the Technology Level Evaluation of 'Biochip and biosensor (BB) Technology' consisted of 3 sub-categorized technologies; biochip sensing (BS), lab on a chip and high-efficient customized health care technology. As an analysis tool, authors used a delphi (a repeated survey) and dynamic methodology with technology growth model to overcome limits of previous evaluations. As a result, levels of BB were evaluated 51.5% (Korea) and 75.1% (US), and the technology gap between two countries was 6.1 yrs. In 2013, these levels were expected to change to 60.1% (Korea), 78.4% (US) and 4.3 yrs, respectively. In comparison with other biotechnology, the gap of BB was smaller and expected to catch up with US faster. In the case of sub-categorized technologies, they showed the smallest gap and would have faster catch-up speed than other sub-categorized technologies in the Biotechnology field. Based on the result of the survey, relative superiority of BB in Korea was originated from competent researchers and research fund, but weak basic science would be weak points. We think that BB's characteristic as an emerging technology and concentrated research activities on BB are additional strong points. This research proposes the supporting and supplemented points to promote the BB in Korea.

Recently there are increasing number of claims that it is necessary to build a countermeasure in case of aggressive threats by small drones. During Russia-Ukraine war ignited by Russian invasion on February 2022, attacking drones have been being used widely to damage other country's national major facilities. On December 2022, 5 drones sent by North Korea made a flight around Seoul, South Korea about 7 hours, but it was not successful to search and track them. Furthermore, none of these were destroyed and shot down. Counter-drone system is essential system to search and identify unintended small drones and disable them. This paper is for proposing required functions for building a counter-drone system for national major facilities. We conducted focus group interviews with relevant government officials and analyzed their suggestions on how to augment protection capabilities to defend against small drone attacks.

This paper studies the supply and demand of Industrial Technology Labor-force(ITL) and analyzes the determinate of ITL shortage in Korean manufacturing. We classified the industry into four categories-high technology industries, medium-high technology industries, medium-low technology industries and low technology industries-based on its R&D intensity like OECD. For the empirical analyses we use a survey data collected from 5,703 enterprises. The key findings are as follows: Firstly, a large majority of ITL is engaged in more technology-intensive industries but the categories that are exposed to more serious labor-force shortage problem are medium-high technology industries and low technology industries. Secondly, in the terms of supply factor, the ITL shortage problems are mainly due to the avoidance of ITL jobs. And the demand point, the reason is that the most of ITL are not researchers but production managers. Thirdly, the cause of imbalance between supply and demand of ITL are different by the technological categories. For example, in the high technology industries, the supply factors, such as average wage and turnover rate played more important role in the imbalance. But in the low technology industries the demand factors, such as per capita sales and the ratio of ITL in all employees were relatively much more important. Based on the findings, we discovered some political meanings such as the necessity to plan various policies to resolve the shortage problem of ITL according to the technological categories, etc.

With the rapid change in technology, it is important to create business opportunities from technology. Many leading companies have tried to improve their competence from capturing those opportunities, which is called TOD (Technology Opportunity Discovery) activities in this research, by identifying emerging technologies or assessing economic and market potential of technologies. Academics have also been interested in the TOD activities but most of the previous studies have focused on developing methodologies or guidelines for TOD. Little effort was given to understanding the current status of TOD activities, which is indispensible to develop effective methodologies for TOD. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the current states of TOD activities, particularly focusing on SMEs, which are the main actors of national innovation system. For the purpose of investigation, firstly, TOD process was defined, and then, based on the process, three main activities of TOD, which include identifying the motivation of TOD, collecting information for TOD, and analyzing the collected information activities for TOD, were examined using a survey method. Finally, the analysis results were used to understand the SMEs' needs and difficulties on TOD activities. Research findings are expected to provide useful information for the future studies on TOD and also can be used to develop a policy for SMEs.

본 논문은 디지털홈서비스의 실제 이용자들에 대한 실증분석을 통해 수용에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 밝히기 위한 연구이다. 디지털홈서비스의 특성에 맞게 기술수용모형 (TAM) 을 확장. 수정된 연구모형을 개발, 가설을 설정하여 분석하였다. 외부변수로 이용자의 특성을 채택하였으며, 디지털홈서비스가 가정 내 기술임을 고려하여 신념변수로 ‘지각된 이용용이성’과 ‘지각된 즐거움’ 외에 ‘지각된 편의성’, ‘지각된 안전성’, ‘지각된 삶의 질 향상’이라는 변수를 추가하였고 종속변수로는 ‘이용행동’을 설정하였다. 205명의 실제 이용자를 대상으로 한 설문조사 중 201개의 유효표본을 분석하였고, 신뢰성과 타당성 모두 통계적으로 적합한 것으로 나타났다. AMOS 4를 이용한 구조방정식 모형분석을 통해 24개의 가설검증 결과, 13개의 가설이 채택되었다. 이용자 개인의 특성 중 경험과 교육훈련은 지각된 이용용이성에 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤으며 혁신성은 지각된 즐거움, 지각된 편의성, 지각된 안전성, 지각된 삶의 질 향상에 대하여 정(+)의 영향을 미치고 있었다. 또한 지각된 이용용이성이 다른 신념변수인 지각된 즐거움, 지각된 편의성, 지각된 안정성, 지각된 삶의 질 향상에 정의 영향을 미치고 있었다. 종속변수인 이용행동에는 지각된 즐거움과 지각된 편의성, 지각된 삶의 질 향상이 긍정적인 영향을 미치나, 지각된 이용용이성과 지각된 안전성은 영향을 미치지 않았다. 가정에서 쉽게 이용할 수 있다는 것만으로는 적극적인 이용 행동을 기대할 수 없으며, 즐거움 및 실용적인 효익들의 제공 및 이를 위한 다양한 컨텐츠와 프로그램 개발 등이 매우 중요하다는 것을 시사하고 있다.수십억원의 추가적인 이익을 실현할 것으로 분석되었다. 본 알고리즘을 확장 적용할 경우 PBUC 문제 해결을 위한 새로운 해법으로도 그 효용성이 클 것으로 예상된다.자료이기 때문에 통계적 활용의 범위가 방대하다. 특히 개인, 가구, 사업체 등 사회 활동의 주체들이 어떻게 변화하는지를 추적할 수 있는 자료를 생산함으로써 다양한 인과적 통계분석을 할 수 있다. 행정자료를 활용한 인구센서스의 이러한 특징은 국가의 교육정책, 노동정책, 복지정책 등 다양한 정책을 정확한 자료를 근거로 수립할 수 있는 기반을 제공한다(Gaasemyr, 1999). 이와 더불어 행정자료 기반의 인구센서스는 비용이 적게 드는 장점이 있다. 예를 들어 덴마크나 핀란드에서는 조사로 자료를 생산하던 때의 1/20 정도 비용으로 행정자료로 인구센서스의 모든 자료를 생산하고 있다. 특히, 최근 모든 행정자료들이 정보통신기술에 의해 데이터베이스 형태로 바뀌고, 인터넷을 근간으로 한 컴퓨터네트워크가 발달함에 따라 각 부처별로 행정을 위해 축적한 자료를 정보통신기술로 연계${cdot}$통합하면 막대한 조사비용을 들이지 않더라도 인구센서스자료를 적은 비용으로 생산할 수 있는 근간이 마련되었다. 이렇듯 행정자료 기반의 인구센서스가 많은 장점을 가졌지만, 그렇다고 모든 국가가 당장 행정자료로 인구센서스를 대체할 수 있는 것은 아니다. 행정자료로 인구센서스통계를 생산하기 위해서는 각 행정부서별로 사용하는 행정자료들을 연계${cdot}$통합할 수 있도록 국가사회전반에 걸쳐 행정 체제가 갖추어져야 하기 때문이다. 특히 모든 국민 개개인에 관한 기본정보, 개인들이 거주하며
