The Purpose of this paper contribute to design the multistate Markov process for the reliability of a system when the transition-rates of each unit depend on the current state of the system. The system transition-rate matrix has the form of the kronecker sum of transition rate matrices for the units, is analyzed and investigated. As a result, the system which has the state-dependent units is detaily analyzed and introduced by the approach of an algorithm for the system transition-rate matrix based on the kronecker algebra.

This paper presents theoretical discussions on socio-techical system transition, by shedding light on the STS context. With a rising attention paid by STI policy researchers, the socio-technical system perspective seems particularly promising in applying to the pursuit for the sustainable development. The normative strand in STI policy research has been strongly influenced by the STS tradition that emphasizes active and participatory roles not only of academian but also of science and technology. Throughout reviewing the development of the socio-technical system perspective, its theoretical components of environment, drivers and dynamics are discussed, often being linked to older perspectives. STI policy involves in socio-technical transition in a manner of transition management and governance, which is the final part of this paper.

Technology transition from defense technology to weapon system is an important process for defense acquisition program. Many countries such as USA, UK, Australia and Republic of Korea use technology readiness level (TRL) as a tool for technology transition by identifying critical technology elements (CTEs) and assessing the technology maturity. In this paper we review a transition process for the defense acquisition. Then we suggest a method to evaluate system's TRL using each component TRL and integration readiness level (IRL) between each technologies. We apply the method to an ACTD project. A result show that technology maturity is influenced by integration between technologies.

For the transition to the low carbon society, it is inevitable but difficult journey that the new energy technology spread co-exists with formal social system. The objective of offshore wind power plant that has been implemented by the government is to connect large capacity new renewable energy to the central electric power system. Therefore, for the successful introduction of offshore wind power system, the transition of the formal social technology system should be companied. This study analysis the energy system transition about niche strategy adjustment using Multiple Level Perspectives & Strategic Niche Management. It also multi level analyzes and structuralizes the process that new technology, as a research result, evolves through connecting and communicating with formal regime and landscape. Also, adjusting Strategic Niche Management, it diagnoses the obstructive factors in the initial stage of niche experiment and found the major reasons why offshore wind power test plant had been delayed. Through this study, it reaches to the practical implication that offshore niche technology could grow stably in the energy system and various policies.

For a continuous-time absorvation Markov chain, we apply and simplify the general method of finding the transition rates given the transition probabilities obtained from discrete observation of the continuous system. An example is given.

The purpose of this article is to re-interpretate 'Post Catch-up Studies' on the Korean innovation system with the framework of 'Transition Studies'. The viewpoints of the vision, research area and system innovation process of Post Catch-up studies are reviewed and reconfigurated. The Transition Studies concepts of Sustainability, Coevolution of industry and society, and transition management are introduced into the Post-catch up Studies and discussed. It is suggested that Post catch-up studies should support sustainability system transition and make use of transition management tools for the sustainable post catch-up innovation and policy.

The next generation Internet protocol(IPv6: Internet Protocol version 6) has been introduced to overcome the limitations of IPv4 and will be essential element for our industry environment. Transition to IPv6 is not simply replacing a protocol but complex work which affects the whole network. So, the accomplishment of appropriate plans and the systematic transition activities are required. In this paper, we examined the necessity of IPv6 transition and suggested the transition strategy in major parts of transition, such as networks, applications, and address management system.

Recently, national energy policy tends to be approached with the long-term perspective because it became harder to cope with various energy issues fundamentally only through the short-term and piecemeal approaches. To deal with energy policy from a long-term perspective, we need new governing approach that differs from established short-term perspective. In this context, research efforts to apply transition management theory to long-term energy policy are receiving attention. In this paper, we suggest extended transition management model based on case study of Dutch energy transition model and review the transition management traits of long-term energy policy of Korea. We conclude that transition thinking and approaches are diffusing widely in the long-term energy policy formation processes, but also can find various issues that are needed to be addressed for effective transition management especially in the energy policy implementation processes.

Transition toward sustainablity being in progress in a variety of areas including climate, energy, household, transportation. This study analyzed system transition and backcasting of its management with case of sustainable transportation, foods, household system transition in the Netherlands. Backcasting has become a popular approach for sustainability taking a more reflexive perspective and looking back to the participatory experiments. In the Netherlands, participatory backcasting utilized as s innovative approach for long-term strategy for sustainability, based on stakeholder involvement, construction of normative sustainable futures, stakeholder leaning. In this study, we can be understood that transition management requires the participation and contribution of business, government, research and the public & public interest groups and backcating is tool leading to a sustainable future vision, stakeholder involvement. To create a new path toward sustainablity, it requires integrated consideration of related policy perspectives and participatory backcasting aiming at system innovations for influencing transitions.

Besieged by needs for upgrading the current Internet, social pressures, and regulatory concerns, a network operator may be left with few options to Improve his services. Yet he can still consider a transition prioritizing network services. In this paper, we describe a transition from a non-priority system to a prioritized one, using non-preemptive M/G/1 model. After reviewing the constraints and theoretical results from past research, we describe steps making the transition Pareto-improving, which boils down to a multi-goal search for a Pareto-improving state. We use a genetic algorithm that captures actual transition costs along with incentive-compatible and Pareto-Improving constraints. Simulation results demonstrate that the initial post-transition solutions are typically Pareto-improving. for non Pareto-improving solutions, the heuristic quickly generates Pareto-improving and incentive-compatible solutions.
