The Fourth Industrial Revolution is driving transformative changes across society, leading to a surge in demand for professionals skilled in computer technologies. However, traditional education systems face challenges in adapting to rapidly evolving technologies, with long learning durations and high costs. In response, microdegrees have emerged as a solution, offering focused, short-term learning in specific fields, thereby enhancing flexibility and accessibility in education. This study explores how microdegrees provide new opportunities within existing educational frameworks, examines their roles and impacts across various domains, and identifies key elements to consider when designing microdegree programs. Ultimately, microdegrees will play a crucial role in rapidly adapting to technological trends and cultivating the workforce needed for the future. This research aims to contribute to foundational studies on microdegrees, driving educational innovation and proposing a new educational paradigm.

In China, enterprises are increasingly shifting the focus of their reforms toward stimulating the development of organizational effectiveness under the guidance of the long-term planning system. Innovative ideas and constructive suggestions originating internally are likely to inject new vitality into their ongoing development, allowing them to better face new global opportunities and challenges. Therefore, this study verifies the impact of voice endorsement and outcomes for the workers in china and selected perceived organizational support as a mediator variable. Based on theoretical research, this study proposes and tests 6 key research hypotheses using structural equation modeling(SEM). Data were collected from employees in China by the survey method. The analysis results reveal that perceived organizational support plays a mediating role in the relationship between voice endorsement and the outcomes of job satisfaction, job commitment, and job performance except for job stress.

The demand of users, who want to focus on the core functionality of their applications without having to manage complex virtual environments in the cloud environment, has created a new computing model called serverless computing. Within the serverless paradigm, resource provisioning and server administration tasks are delegated to cloud services, facilitating application development exclusively focused on program logic. Serverless computing has upgraded the utilization of cloud computing by reducing the burden on cloud service users, and it is expected to become the basic model of cloud computing in the future. A serverless platform is responsible for managing the cloud virtual environment on behalf of users, and it is also responsible for executing serverless functions that compose applications in the cloud environment. Considering the characteristics of serverless computing in which users are billed in proportion to the resources used, the efficiency of the serverless platform is a very important factor for both users and service providers. This paper aims to identify various factors that affect the performance of serverless computing and analyze the latest research trends related to it. Drawing upon the analysis, the future directions for serverless computing that address key challenges and opportunities in serverless computing are proposed.

Korea faces challenges in securing technical talent due to low birth rates and an aging population. To bridge labor market gaps, tailored education programs through universities are crucial. Although Program for Industrial needs-Matched Education (PRIME) encouraged developing industrial-university education courses, a few universities have the opportunities and the courses development is often depending on capability of a professor. Furthermore, administrative issues hinder progress. This study proposes streamlining administrative processes and leveraging technology to meet industry demands. Active collaboration between academia and industry can enhance education and benefit both employees and students.

University libraries have been facing challenges to accomplish both roles of traditional libraries as physical places and virtual libraries which service electronic resources effectively. University libraries need to establish a strategic plan as a positive tool for designing the future of university libraries addressing threats and opportunities at the same time. This study suggested the core elements be involved in strategic plans of university libraries through comparatively analyzing the actual documents of strategic plans of academic libraries in America, England, Canada and Australia. These strategic plans were divided into formal elements and content elements. In addition, this study presented the latest strategic plans of academic libraries such as UMI. OULS, UBCL, and USL. As a result of research, this study provided the directions and basic materials in order to establish strategic planning at university libraries in Korea.

In this highly competitive century, selling products and service through Internet and smart phones offers both opportunities and challenges. Online commerce is expanding it's wings to the offline market. The connection between online market and offline market is called O2O(Offline to Online) market. In this study we examine the best practice case study of an Internet company's successful efforts to connect users and offline merchants. Based on Dianping.com success story in China, a successful framework for building online to offline ecosystem is examined. Dianping.com successful experience may provide suggestions for other online companies operate in the convergent field.

From the last past decade, the Internet of Thing (IoT) area has attracted a lot of attention from researchers. It is said to be a promising technology with great impact in people life, since it redefines the relationship objects have with Human and between themselves. It allows objects to gather data from the real world and communicate with others through the internet. This enabled many opportunities for service providers, companies, factories, environmental monitoring, healthcare, smart cities, and soon. Therefore, today, IoT is densely used in various domains of life, and knows an exponential growth. However, although many advancements have been achieved, several challenges keep causing issues and still need to be overcome. This paper gives an overview on the current trend issues in IoT on which researchers are focusing. It's also explores different proposed frameworks to allow the application of cognitive computing as an integrated process of an Internet of things (IoT) systems, to bring a great advanced in the way machine may communicate with human and their surroundings. This is known as cognitive IoT (CIoT), which allows machines to produce a human-like behavior, then providing enhanced level of capabilities to IoT.

A wave of new technologies has created opportunities for the cost-effective generation of high-throughput profiles of biological systems, foreshadowing a "data-driven science" era. The large variety of data available from biological research is also a rich resource that can be used for innovative endeavors. However, we are facing considerable challenges in big data deposition, integration, and translation due to the complexity of biological data and its production at unprecedented exponential rates. To address these problems, in 2020, the Korean government officially announced a national strategy to collect and manage the biological data produced through national R&D fund allocations and provide the collected data to researchers. To this end, the Korea Bioinformation Center (KOBIC) developed a new biological data repository, the Korea BioData Station (K-BDS), for sharing data from individual researchers and research programs to create a data-driven biological study environment. The K-BDS is dedicated to providing free open access to a suite of featured data resources in support of worldwide activities in both academia and industry.

In recent years, the advent of information technology has transformed the way design is done and how companies manage information about their customers. The availability of large volume of data on customers, made possible by new information technology tools, has created opportunities as well as challenges for businesses to apply the data and gain competitive advantage. Under these conditions, eCRM solution through web data mining tools can provide the hidden information(need or preference) and we can understand customer better, while a systematic information management effort can channel the information into effective digital design contents strategies. Therefore, in this study, after reviewing web data mining and eCRM definition and developing a research program, guidelines for digital design contents are provided through the eCRM solution program we developed.
