  • 본 연구에서는 우리나라 영재교육정책 목표가 교육에 의한 영재성 발휘보다 국가 사회 발전을 위한 인재양성으로 편향된 것이 과학기술행정부처의 과학영재교육정책에 기인하고 있음을 보이고자 한다. 우리나라의 과학영재교육정책은 과학기술행정부처 중심 정책과 교육행정부처 중심 정책으로 나뉜다. 교육행정부처는 교육적 형평성을 실현을 목표로 영재교육정책을 세웠다. 이와 달리 과학기술행정부처는 경제 발전을 위해 산업에 투입할 고급 과학기술인력양성이라는 관점에서 과학영재에 주목했다. 이들은 상호작용하여 우리나라의 영재교육체제를 형성했다. 이 연구는 과학기술행정부처가 과학영재교육의 국가 사회적 목표를 강조함으로써 과학기술행정부처의 과학영재교육정책 수립에 대한 정당성을 확보하는 과정을 보이고, 연구생산성이 높을 시기에 과학영재들이 실질적으로 연구개발에 기여할 수 있도록 과학기술행정부처가 정책적 토대를 만들었다는 것을 보인 것에 의의가 있다.

  • The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) achieved relatively rapid economic growth over the past decade. Sustainable growth among member states, however, is put into question due to macroeconomic challenges, political risk, and vulnerability to external shocks. Developed countries, in contrast, have turned into less labor-intensive technologies to further expand their economies. In this paper, we review the science, technology, and innovation (STI) policies and statuses of the scientific and technological capabilities of the ASEAN member countries. Empirical results based on STI indicators (R&D spending, publications, patents, and knowledge economy indices) reveal considerable variation between the science and technology (S&T) competence and effectiveness of STI policies of ASEAN members. We have categorized nations into clusters according their situations in their S&T productivity. Under the Korean Innovation Model, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Brunei are classified as being in the institutional-building stage, while Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam in the catch up stage, and Singapore in the post-catch up stage. Finally, policy prescriptions on how to enhance the S&T capabilities of the developing ASEAN countries, based on the South Korea development experience, are presented.

  • As a part of cloud computing technology, algorithms for cloud task scheduling place an important influence on the area of cloud computing in data centers. In our earlier work, we proposed DeepEnergyJS, which was designed based on the original version of the policy gradient and reinforcement learning algorithm. We verified its effectiveness through simulation experiments. In this study, we used the Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) algorithm to update DeepEnergyJS to DeepEnergyJSV2.0. First, we verify the convergence of the PPO algorithm on the dataset of Alibaba Cluster Data V2018. Then we contrast it with reinforcement learning algorithm in terms of convergence rate, converged value, and stability. The results indicate that PPO performed better in training and test data sets compared with reinforcement learning algorithm, as well as other general heuristic algorithms, such as First Fit, Random, and Tetris. DeepEnergyJSV2.0 achieves better energy efficiency than DeepEnergyJS by about 7.814%.

  • Information and Communication Technology is now widely accepted by developing countries as a development tool in their efforts to alleviate poverty, enhance human development, and achieve Millennium Development Goals. Recognizing this untapped potential and development strategies incorporating ICT are being increasingly promoted and launched across the developing countries requiring a comprehensive ICT policy that plays a crucial rule, in particular, in the area of agriculture and rural development. While the potential advantages of ICT for development are enormous in developed countries, national policies of developing countries are yet to adequately reflect truly comprehensive and integrated strategies for harnessing and exploiting this potential. This paper tries to provide implication of ICT policy to the agriculture and rural development in developing countries, in particular through lessons learned from European Union (EU) IT policy. Through the examination of vital projects in the agriculture and rural development sectors and case study analysis of applied policies and strategies implemented in the European Union, this paper provides tangible examples and lessons for policy-makers and practitioners involved in the field. Hence, this study provides policy-makers the necessary tools, information and knowledge to facilitate the formulation and adoption of ICT policies and strategies in the agriculture and rural development sector.

  • 여행지에서 제공하고 있는 스탬프 투어링 서비스는 여행객들에게 특별한 기념이 되어주고 있지만, 스탬프를 받기 위한 장소를 찾기 어려운 점과 여행지의 주변 정보를 얻기 위해서는 여행자의 별도의 노력이 필요하다는 단점이 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 유명 관광지 및 추천 명소 등에 NFC 태그를 설치하고 간단한 태깅만으로 스탬프를 수집할 수 있는 어플리케이션을 제안한다. 또한 이 어플리케이션에 저장되는 정보와 평가를 이용해 사용자별 맞춤 여행 코스를 제공하고 사용자가 좀 더 편리하고 재미있는 여행을 즐길 수 있도록 돕고자 한다.

  • This paper compares OECD nations by developing a comprehensive evaluation index that examines the efforts and achievements of countries toward Low-Carbon Green Growth. The input-process-output of a Low-Carbon Society system is in dynamic competition with that of a High-Carbon Society system. The model used in this study of the comprehensive evaluation index for Low-Carbon Green Growth was comprised of Large indices such as Input, Process, and Output. The Input and Output consisted of 'Social-economic' and 'Physical-ecological' Middle indices while the Process was made up of 'Stimulation mechanisms' and 'Participation of stakeholders and Knowledge flow' Middle indices. In order to calculate the comprehensive evaluation index, our model gave a weight to each indicator/index and applied a weighted arithmetic mean. Korea ranked $15^{th}$ out of 30 OECD nations in the comprehensive evaluation that analyzed Input ($14^{th}$), Process ($18^{th}$), and Output ($17^{th}$). The top five nations were Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, and France; while Japan was $8^{th}$ and the USA $26^{th}$.

  • The entrepreneurial university concept is a new challenge and opportunity for science and technology universities in Korea. The traditional university functions of education, research, and community service are still highly relevant, but increasingly so are new types of collaboration for research outcomes and funding resources. Strategic university management is needed to handle socioeconomic contribution, involving the creation and maintenance of proactive relationships with firms, national and regional governments, and other regional entities. The emergence of the entrepreneurial university in Korea is similar to the socioeconomic changes observable in the history of university development in America and in many other developed countries. In this paper, we examine the emerging paradigm of entrepreneurial universities in Korea and discuss the interactions among universities, firms, and government strategy and policy by investigating and comparing two universities, POSTECH and KAIST, in their leadership, adaptation to changes in the environment, business strategies, organization, and cooperative network. We conclude with policy points that emphasize the fact that while entrepreneurial universities are an emerging concept, they can expand innovation and creativity in education and research in Korean universities in the mid-to-long term if university administration, policymakers and public administrators, and regional innovation actors take an interest in the need for a new organization and system where university research can contribute socioeconomically.

  • Through two case studies on the United States and Japan, this research aims to identify the characteristics of disaster management research and thereby provides policy implications for Korea. This paper analyzed government-funded disaster management R&D for each country: the National Science Foundation awarded projects from 2005 to 2015 for the United States, and Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research from 2011 to 2015 managed by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science for Japan. As a result, four following implications were drawn. 1) pursuit of R&SD(Research & Solution Development) instead of R&D, 2) shift from prevention to life-cycle management, 3) necessity of multidisciplinary research, and 4) emphasis on post-disaster investigation.
