  • 전통적 혁신 이론에서 과학과 기술은 공공재와 지식으로 다루어지며, 이러한 관점은 선형모델과 기술 결정론을 자연스럽게 도출시킨다. 그러나 과학과 기술을 새롭게 규정하는 신혁신 이론에서는 기술의 사회적 형성을 강조하며, 선형 모델에서 탈피하여 혁신과정의 상호작용, 네트워크, 시스템 측면을 포섭하고 있다.

  • The success history of Light Water Reactors (PWR and BWR) showed how a dominant technology could be shaped in a political and economical context. The american nuclear politics, the interest of american nuclear industry, and the accumulated technological know-hows made it possible that the not inherently safe reactor-Light Water Reactor- became a prominent reactor model. The path dependency of reactor technology on LWR kept the engineers from developing a new safer reactor, even if the severe reactor accidents occurred. In oder to increase safety of nuclear power system, we should understand the social shaping process of nuclear technology.

  • What prevails in the today's research on social media is a functional view of technology. Technology is regarded as a set of technical devices used to conduct specific social functions, such as personal communication, social networking, public posting, and corporate advertising, among others. This paper proposes that such a functional view of technology renders social media research unduly limited and constrained in its scope, level, and direction of inquiry. Problematizing on some representative social media research efforts in the field of IS, this paper provides an alternative perspective, that is, to view social media as a technology-for-being that exerts a deeper level of influence on our existence, molding and shaping the nature and mode of being itself. Such a technology-for-being perspective has been rarely explored or subscribed to in the present IS social media research. Building upon the new conception of social media as a technology-for-being, this essay explores the quality of being in the context of social media. Five such qualities are discussed, including virtuality, materiality, externality, liquidity, and hybridity. The essay also explores the deep structural problems of research to guide future social media research. Six of such problems include Problematize-the-Natural, Follow-the-Actor, Welcome-the-Frankenstein, Weber-meets-Frankenstein, Freud-meets-Frankenstein, and Marx-meets-Frankenstein. The essay concludes with discussions on the implications of the essay, its limitations, and suggestions for future work.

  • In this paper we propose a design procedure of loop-shaping two-degree-of-freedom H$\infty$ digital controller for sampled-data system. We extend the continuous time loop-shaping two-degree-of-freedom H$\infty$ control problem to sampled-data system. The configuration of generalized plant is modified for sampled-data system. And then using continuous lifting we obtain the digital controller. In the final stage of loop-shaping procedure the problem of absorbing weighting functions is discussed. We summarize this study to the design procedure and illustrate the application for an inverted pendulum on the cart.

  • This study utilizes Roland Barthes' semiotic theory to explore how interface design elements of beauty camera apps, such as filters and stickers, icons and buttons, layout and structure, function as symbols of self-expression, and their impact on users' social identity and personal image. Through in-depth analysis of applications like BeautyPlus, Ulike, MeituPic, and Faceu, this research found that these apps emphasize usability, visual appeal, and social interactivity in their design. These elements not only enhance user experience and operational efficiency but also reflect popular cultural trends and aesthetic preferences. From Barthes' perspective, these interface elements have become "myths" with specific social meanings, which are naturalized in daily use and promote the widespread acceptance of particular aesthetic standards. These interface design elements are not just tools for self-expression; they are also powerful cultural symbols that shape modern social interactions and visual culture. This research offers a new perspective to understand the interactions between individuals and society in the digital age, emphasizing the role of technology, culture, and social interaction in shaping contemporary human behavior and social relationships.

  • 이 연구는 1993년에 미국 서북부에 위치한 중소도시인 시애틀(Seattle)에 기반을 두고 만들어져 지금까지 10년 넘게 유지되어 온, 시애틀 커뮤니티 네트워크(Seattle Community Network)라는 전자적 지역공동체망을 네트워크사회를 구성하는 한 부분으로 보고, SCN이 어떠한 사회적 과정을 거쳐 만들어지고 전개되는가를 심층적으로 분석하는 데 목적이 있다. 오3f은 정보기술의 발전, 특히 인터넷기술의 발전이 네트워크사회가 발전할 수 있는 토양을 어떻게 제공해주는지, 그리고 이러한 전자적 지역 공동체망이 어떠한 사회적 과정을 거쳐 만들어지고 또 정체하게 되는가를 잘 보여주는 대표적인 사례라고 할 수 있다. SCN의 건설은 기술적 필연성의 논리가 아니라 사회적 힘들에 의해 추진되었고, 결국 또한 사회적 힘들의 영향을 받아 정체상태를 맞이하게 되었다. SCN은 정보기술과 네트워크사회에 대한 자본의 지배를 제어하고 정보화가 보다 시민친화적인 방향으로 추진될 수 있도록 시민사회가 나서서 건설한 것이었지만 정보자본주의화의 진전 속에서 결국에는 자본의 거대한 영향력 하에서 더 이상 성장하지 못하고 정체상태를 맞이하게 되었다. 이상의 분석을 통해 우리는 기술결정론이 함의하는 바와는 달리 네트워크사회가 정보기술이 일방적으로 만들어 네는 사회가 아니라 다양한 환경적, 사회적 요인들의 상호작용 속에서 만들어지는 동태적인 성격을 지니는 것임을 알 수 있다.

  • Mobile phone carriers face challenges from three synergistic dimensions: Wireless, social, and mobile. Despite significant advances that have been made about social networks and human mobility, respectively, our knowledge about the interplay between two layers remains largely limited, partly due to the difficulty in obtaining large-scale datasets that could offer at the same time social and mobile information across a substantial population over an extended period of time. In this paper, we take advantage of a massive, longitudinal mobile phone dataset that consists of human mobility and social network information simultaneously, allowing us to explore the impact of human mobility patterns on the underlying social network. We find that human mobility plays an important role in shaping both local and global structural properties of social network. In contrast to the lack of scale in social networks and human movements, we discovered a characteristic distance in physical space between 10 and 20 km that impacts both local clustering and modular structure in social network. We also find a surprising distinction in trajectory overlap that segments social ties into two categories. Our results are of fundamental relevance to quantitative studies of human behavior, and could serve as the basis of anchoring potential theoretical models of human behavior and building and developing new applications using social and mobile technologies.

  • 본 연구에서는 기술의 사회적 선택과정과 기술학습을 연계시켜 살펴볼 수 있는 모델을 개발하고 그 모델에 입각해서 사례분석을 수행하였다. 모델개발과 관련해서는 기술공동체의 구조적 특성이 기술학습에 영향을 미친다는 기술학습론의 논의와 제도형성과 제도효과에 대한 조직사회학과 기술사회학의 논의를 종합하여, '기술정치'와 '기술학습'을 수행하는 주체인 기술공동체의 개념을 정립하였다. 그리고 이에 바탕해서 기술정치와 기술학습의 상호작용 메커니즘을 개념화하였다. 사례분석은 우리 나라이동통신기술개발을 대상으로 이루어졌다. CDMA기술과 GSM기술을 개발하는 국가연구개발사업과 국가표준결정 과정을 중심으로 어떻게 정책결정이 이루어졌으며, 이 정책이 각 기술공동체의 기술학습활동에 어떠한 영향을 미쳤는가를 분석하였다.

  • The successful development of science parks is dependent on the relevance and delivery of a range of value propositions they offer to their stakeholders. Experience has shown that the benefits of these value propositions are 'place based' and 'time dependent', influenced by the prevailing technology, social and business environments in which they operate, and the relationship that is developed between entrepreneurs, corporates, academia and government in creating these projects, and their performance is dependent on economic, physical and networking assets they create and deploy. This paper looks at some of the history that has influenced the development of parks, lessons learnt from their planning, development and operation. It reviews these details in the context of delivering value propositions in the context of temporal, spatial, technology and entrepreneurial profile of the new idea of 'innovation districts', influencing 'city planning' and supporting 'smart specialisation strategies'.

  • This paper presents research linking national culture and innovation. The research identifies how key features of Korean culture, collectivism and hierarchical authoritarianism, affect technological innovation. This perspective casts new light on cultural research that, while generally confirming national culture-innovation ties at the organization level, has had less success accounting for culture barriers to innovation in collectivist nations, especially at the interorganizational level. The data for this study was obtained from interviews and written sources. The paper introduces the concept of the social shaping of technology, with which the influence of culture on technological innovation is analyzed, and highlights the development of EDI systems in the collectivist Korean society. It draws attention to the interorganizational basis of collectivism and authoritarianism in the technology innovation process. Finally, Korean innovation systems are questioned, and some negative effects of the collectivist Korean culture at the interorganizational level are discussed.
