This study examined how national research and development (R&D) in the domain of logistics has changed recently in the Republic of Korea. We conducted basic statistical analysis and social network analysis on 5,327 logistics-related R&D projects undertaken during 2005-2019. Data for performing these analyses were collected from the R&D database of the National Science and Technology Information Service (NTIS). By constructing a co-occurrence matrix with keywords, we conducted degree and betweenness centrality analysis and visualized the network matrix to display a cluster map. This study presents our observations related to the following findings: (1) the chronical trends of logistics R&D, (2) focused fields of logistics R&D, (3) the relations among keywords, and (4) the characteristics of logistics R&D. Finally, we suggest policy implications to boost and diversify logistics R&D.

The Roh Moo-hyun Government of Korea with highest fierily establishes policy framework and measures to accomplish the goal of regionally balanced development. With the vision "constructing a county in which every region provides high quality of life with its own specificity" and basic strategy "self-sustained localization", the policy framework is geared to economic aspects of development rather than cultual or social aspects. Subsequently, policy measures are also focused on such economic tools as regional innovation system, strategic industry, or industrial cluster. This paper suggests that future policy of balance development should set clear definition of balanced development, be based on a though evaluation of the Bast policy measures, and draw several fresh ideas which match characteristics of each region. These policy directions should be given higher power of practice with efficient organizational support.

In order to sustainably develop economy of regions and countries, it is necessary to pay attention to formation of new clusters from a long-term perspective. This study examined concepts and characteristics of clusters, and analyzed conditions related to emergence of clusters based on previous studies. Then, this study derived important factors and intended to propose a framework that is possible to help analyze clusters in the future. The development stages were divided into four stages of occurrence, growth, maturity, and decline. As for emergence conditions, entrepreneurship, institutional support, decision factors by development stages, and requirements for the future cluster success were presented. This study has academic significance in that it presents an integrated framework to analyze cluster emergence, and based on it, this study also presents directions of future studies and the regional and national policy implications. However, this study has many limitations in that it is difficult to generalize because it has not considered all variables in various dimensions and environments.

In this paper, we proposed the striping policy for the storage nodes in the Linux-based parallel media stream server. We newly developed a storage clustering architecture, and named it as a system RAID architecture. In this system, many storage cluster nodes are grouped to operate as a single server. This system uses unique striping policy to distribute multimedia files into the parallel storage nodes. If a service request occurs, each storage cluster node transmits striped files concurrently to the clients. This scheme can provide the fair distribution of the preprocessing load in all storage cluster nodes. The feature of this system is a relative striping policy based on the file types, service types, and the number of storage nodes to provide the best service.

For fostering the biomedical industry, the formation of a high-tech-based innovation cluster is continuously being promoted. Accordingly, studies dealing with domestic clusters are being conducted based on case studies on major overseas clusters, but they are limited to a single case. In this paper, content analysis was used based on the literature about innovation clusters and bio-medical industry to comprehensively summarize the factors to be considered for the creation and activation of bio-medical clusters. Subsequently, the factors derived through content analysis were applied to the case of the Hongreung Innotown. The requirements for the successful creation of the Hongreung Innotown, it is required to improve settlement conditions, prepare systems to create start-up culture, and revitalize translational research, attract investment, and cooperate and connect with local clusters.

We study the casual relationship between characteristics and effectiveness of NamDong Cluster in Incheon by using factor analysis in order to suggest, it is hoped, an alternative way to form innovative regional or national cluster. The findings of the study is that several factors such as cluster networking, collective learning, innovation synergy, localization, are critical factors to corporate performance. Also, cooperation between big enterprises and small and medium enterprises is the major influential factor so that financial and institutional supports for co-works or co-program development among enterprises are suggested.

Generally, it is known that the agglomeration economies appear in some industry clusters which were developed naturally. But, in Korea, most of industry clusters were built by government. This research was carried out to evaluate the performance of governments zoning investment, in other words, industry cluster policy. In this research, we use the data of manufacturing firms in Kyunggi-province. For the microeconomic analysis, we use the KIS-VALUE data of 2008. As the empirical test methods we use both multiple regressions and Propensity Score Matching. In conclusion, there is no evidences that firms in industry cluster have better performances. Surprisingly, in PSM analysis, we find the evidence that firms in industry cluster show less innovative performance.

The importance of science and technology as the root of exceptional regional economic development has been extolled since the time of Schumpeter. Today emerging technologies are signaling the start of a new economic cycle where regions that are effective in technology translation will gain advantage. The will of policymakers to translate technology into regional job and wealth creation seems to be at an all-time high. Yet an improved process for translating technical development into regional prosperity has proved elusive. If there are no processes other than applying techniques that have worked in the past for other regions to a new region then there is cause for concern. Here the authors seek to add to this field of knowledge by applying elements of the varied cluster theories to provide a basis for policy for regional economic development by turning science and technology into commercial innovation. We provide a review of current cluster theories and discuss the positive and negative issues associated with each. We propose a model that allows interested professionals to utilize aspects of each cluster perspective geared to the realities of their specific area.

The study compares network structures that emerged in three inter-organisational projects set up under the MSC Malaysia initiative by the Government of Malaysia. These consortia are seen as policy-driven inter-organisational networks and, with data collected through interviews; the links among the organisations are mapped to gain an understanding of the structures that emerged in these networks. The findings provide lessons for other emerging countries that are embarking on similar projects i.e. cluster-oriented developments with policy-driven inter-organisational networks. These findings are seen as particularly useful when emerging countries invest in technology-related projects and invite multinational companies to work together with local firms.

Our society is currently exposed to environment of various information that is exchanged real time through networks. Especially regarding medical policy, the government rushes to practice remote medical treatment to improve the quality of medical services for citizens. The remote medical practice requires establishment of medical information based on big data for customized treatment regardless of where patients are. This study suggests establishment of regional medical cluster along with defense and protection cooperation models that in case service availability is harmed, and attacks occur, the attacks can be detected, and proper measures can be taken. For this, the study suggested forming networks with nationwide local government hospitals as regional virtual medical cluster bases by the same medical information system. The study also designed a mutual cooperation security model that can real time cope with IP Spoofing attack that can occur in the medical cluster and DDoS attacks accordingly, so that the limit that sole system and sole security policy have can be overcome.
