In this study, new evaluation perspective and analysis methodology are suggested to assess the technological level of new product produced by national large R&D program and applied to case analysis of the superconducting cable technology. Logical Procedures for the assessment of the technological level include essential technology classification, analysis of evaluation factors, structure and content of assessment items, presentation method of the analysis result. Variable with technological properties are employed to analyze the relative competitiveness subjectively. The principal component analysis are applied to measure the relative competitiveness in terms of size and position. Finally the combined results of technology and right evaluation show that the technology level of DAPAS superconducting cables lies somewhere between 96.11% and 101.76% compared with a global leader in technology. The result provides sufficient evidences that it secures technological edges over other competitors. Therefore it can be called as a globally leading technology. New evaluation perspective and analysis methodology suggested can be applied usefully to assess the technology level of public large-scale R&D program.

The study demonstrated the pre-feasibility evaluation of the new agricultual technology R&D project and the ways to improve it. The study created new criteria for pre-feasibility evaluation based on the results acquired from the examination and analysis of pre-feasibility evaluation systems and criteria of various institutions at home and abroad in order to understand the current state of the evaluation method conducted by the Rural Development Administration and to seek ways for its improvement. The new criteria include indices for technicity, marketability, and feasibility. Based on these, questionnaires were prepared and the answers on them were statistically analyzed to set weights between indices. It was found that feasibility appeared the highest, in particular, feasibilities related to budget appropriateness, novelty, possibility of demand for the technology, and potential of commercialization appeared high. Referring to this conclusion, a simple operation process of pre-feasibility evaluation was introduced in the study.

Technology evaluation is one of the key issues in discussions on the development of evaluation methods. This paper deals with some methods for the evaluation of new energy technologies, which were appraised by MAUT from various outlooks: economics, environment, and resource saving. MAUT is considered to be the proper method for evaluating the next generation energy technology, since it can evaluate alternatives that comprise basic criteria. This paper analyzes a priority order of 13 new energy technologies selected by groups of energy technology experts through two steps. Converted utility technology shows the highest value in economics.

This paper presents a new approach to evaluate the maximum number of simultaneous switching gates of a given combinational circuit. The new approach is based on an iterative method proposed by Sinogi et al. and applies a simulated annealing strategy to search jot a new solution. The experimental evaluation using ISCAS’85 benchmark circuits shows that the proposed approach has attained an excellent improvement compared with other rotated methods including the iterative method.

This paper proposes the systematic design approach for developing the evaluation indicators that evaluate the candidate proposals in the national defense core-technology R&D projects. To improve the validity and fairness of the evaluation indicators, the existing evaluation process in a military and a public sector are surveyed and also the existing evaluation system of the core-technology R&D programs for the national defense is analysed and discussed. A new system for the evaluation indicators is designed by using the axiomatic design, factor analysis and the analytic hierarchy process. It is expected that the proposed evaluation indicators contribute to enhance the fairness and the reliability of the evaluation process for the proposal of the national defense core-technology R&D projects.

As the application of NPM in waste administration branch this paper proposes a new waste management method in order to increase the efficiency of resources and reduce the quantity of waste. First the matrix method is suggested which comprehensively consider and integrate the proposals of different government departments. Moreover the inhabitant's attitude toward the new waste management measures was investigated. Based on the investigation the evaluation function was made, which include three elements: necessary budget, the effect of cost decrease and the environmental burden decrease. The optimal method of budget allocation to maximize social welfare is proposed under the condition of limited budget by the evaluation function. By applying this system further local governments will be able to determine their adequate service level and budget size.

A new breed of universities equipped with student-centered education programs and advanced digital technologies is changing the face of higher education. "Flipped learning" is heralded as a new model of education, yet its effect is underexplored. The purpose of this study is to provide evaluation criteria to assess and understand the merit of student-centered education programs and apply them to actual cases. Discussion on the nature of knowledge, its production mechanism and system, and possible contribution of digital technology to user-centered programs are discussed to produce five key criteria; initiative of students, interaction in class, interaction in field, customization of courses, and automated personal service. They are applied to evaluation of Minerva and Ecole 42.

In this study we propose a technology selection model, which captures technology seeds for new business area by a fuzzy structural modeling method and then, design a model, which evaluates the validity of New Business Development plans for the selected technology seeds with regard to the properties of manufacturing, product, market, and economy as well. Finally, a fuzzy inference system is designed in order to decide the degree of success of New Business Development plans based on the preceding validity evaluation.

Purpose: This study tests the validity of a standard evaluation tool of ambulance ride practices with new evaluation items and supports its application by 119 preceptors. Methods: We tested the validity of standard evaluation items collected from 19 on-site professionals assessing ambulance ride practices. New evaluation items, 'understanding of emergency rescue equipment' and 'ability to communicate', were added as additional criteria. The modified Delphi technique was used to test the three evaluation areas and ten evaluation items. We used the analytic hierarchy process to analyze the weighting value of the reconstructed evaluation tool model. Results: All three evaluation areas and 10 evaluation items within the standard evaluation tools used for ambulance ride practices corresponded with the consistency index, degree of convergence, and agreement in the modified Delphi panel. Conclusion: These results provide evidence of the consistency and usefulness behind preceptors' use of this standard evaluation tool in ambulance ride practice.

Augmented reality based on projection, called "Spatial Augmented Reality (SAR)", is a new technology that can produce immersive contents by overlapping virtuality and real-world environment. It has been paid attention as the next generation digital contents in media art and human-computer interaction (HCI). In this paper, we present a new methodology to evaluate the product appearance design more intuitively by means of SAR technique. The proposed method first projects the high-quality rendered image considering the optical property of materials onto the mock-up of a product. We also conduct a projector-camera calibration to compensate a color distortion according to a projector, a projection surface and environment lighting. The design evaluation methodology we propose offers more flexible and intuitive evaluation environment to a designer and user (evaluator) than previous methods that are performed via a digital display. At the end of this research, we have conducted a case study for designing and evaluating appearance design of an automobile.
