As one of recent issues in the information and communication industry, internet of things has attracted attention to provide intelligent infrastructure services which connect and share data and information between real and virtual world. According to the development of these internet of things technologies, types of machines, telecommunication devices, and terminals are increasing tremendously. In this situation, connectivity and interoperability between internet of things components are important issues to build a hyper connected society. To visualize this society, it is important to set up and develop information and communication technology (ICT) standards among stakeholders. However, under limited budget and human resources, it is essential to rank standardization work items for setting standards with respect to efficiency. The purpose of this study is to provide a method for setting standardization strategies within group decision making. As a multi-criteria group decision making tool, analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is adopted and applied to determine the priorities of setting work items. The proposed method first defines decision making problem with objective, criteria, and alternatives which produces a hierarchy consisting of upper and lower criteria. Then, pairwise comparisons of academy and public sector experts are performed with respect to their relative meaning and importance. Individual surveys of expert groups are collected and summarized to determine relative criteria importance measures. Furthermore, to deliver reliable importance criteria measures, differences between academy and public sector expert groups are compared and tested using Mann-Whitney non-parametric test. The results are illustrated for useful guidelines to practical group decision making in standardization strategy establishments.

This study attempts to analyze the spatial characteristics of cyberspace and to map spatial variations of cyberspace. In order to analyze the spatial distribution of cyberspace, three measurement indices are selected such as commercial domain number, Internet backbone network, and Internet users, which are highly correlated to each other. The three sets of measurement showed that cyberspace in Korea is spreading in a highly uneven fashion, strongly favoring a few cities and unfavoring economically distressed cities. Seoul acts on overwhelmingly dominant role in cyberspace, by being concentrated a number of domains and having high-capacity bandwidth on Internet backbone network. Internet is selectively connecting several cities into highly interactive networks, while at the same time largely bypassing other cities. The development of Internet network through infrastructure investments at selected cities has resulted in an uneven accessibility and digital divide among cities. The regional disparity would be further reinforced by ICT development as the primary vehicle for unequal accessibility. The result of this study revealed that geography continues to matter, despite the recent rhetoric claiming of 'the death of distance'or 'the end of geography'.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the spatial structure of the production of technological knowledge in the Korean photonics industry. Patent data were used as a proxy of knowledge production. The data were gathered by keywords among the registered patents which were applied from 1996 to 2007. The photonics industry patents registered at United States Patent Trademark Office(USPTO) show that Korea and Taiwan, as a latecomer, have rapidly increased. The photonics industry patents registered at Korean Intellectual Property Office(KIPO) were analyzed by type of application: single-applicant and co-applicant patents. The analysis of single-applicant patents shows that technological knowledge in the Korean photonics industry has been produced mainly in Seoul, Suwon, and Daejeon. The degree of spatial bias, however, has been slightly decreased during the study period. Above-mentioned regions are also main centers in the analysis of co-applicant patents, but the forms of inter-regional cluster and network are different over time. It is because agents participating in co-applicant patents are diverse and increased. Furthermore, it seems that policies, such as the improvement of the infrastructure of ICT, the promotion of the photonics industry and the industry-university-institute collaboration, are very influential.
