Along with the emergence of technologies related to the 4th industrial revolution, all industry sectors are making efforts to dramatically increase productivity by actively introducing high-tech technologies. Recently, the MLIT (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport) is trying to solve problems related to low productivity and high accident rate in the construction industry by applying the 4th industrial revolution technologies to infrastructure construction through smart construction R&D projects. This research was performed as part of the smart construction R&D project supported by MLIT, and the purpose is to develop a module that automatically generates moving paths for construction equipment based on the earthwork plan for road construction. The generated moving path can be used to provide safe and efficient paths for construction equipment and to support MC and MG to work efficiently. The moving paths for construction equipment are created based on the Visibility Graph and a case study is performed to show how the paths are generated based on a given construction site.

Purpose Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a core technology, leading the 4th industrial revolution. This study aims to diagnose the Korean's national competitiveness for AI technologies through patent analyses. Design/methodology/approach In this study, KIWEE and Derwent Innovation databases were used as data source of patents. we extracted 10,510 AI patents data with keywords and classified them into 15 subcategories of AI technology. We executed patent analyses for activity index, patent intensity index, technology strength, and patent family size and diagnosed Korea's national competitiveness in AI industry. Findings The results showed that Korea is less competitive than the United States and Japan in AI industry. However, patent amount has increased since 2010, which is encouraging result. This study has implication on the need for human and R&D investment in AI industry.

In the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, new technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud, Internet of Things, and blockchain are being developed and applied to new industries. Blockchain has the characteristics of decentralization, security, and transparency, so it can serve as a core technology for developing new growth industries. Blockchain is provided as BaaS (Blockchain as a Service), but it is not easy for users who are introducing or building blockchain to choose BaaS. In this study, we identify evaluation factors and develop a decision-making model using fuzzy theory and AHP for BaaS selection. Eventually we aim to help companies choose the best BaaS and develop and commercialize blockchain-based services by developing a new decision-making model for BaaS selection.

Data are an essential resource for artificial intelligence-based services. It is considered a vital resource in the 4th industrial revolution era based on artificial intelligence. However, it is well-known that only a few giant platforms that provide most of the current online services tend to monopolize personal data. Therefore, some governments have started enforcing personal data protection and mobility regulations to address this problem. Additionally, there are some notable activities from a technical perspective, and Web 3.0 is one of these. Web 3.0 focuses on distributed architecture to protect people's data sovereignty. An important technical challenge of Web 3.0 is how to facilitate the personal data storage technology to provide valuable data for new data-based services while providing data for producers' sovereignty. This study reviews some currently proposed personal data storage technologies. Furthermore, we discuss the domestic countermeasures from MyData perspective, which is a typical project for data-based businesses in Korea.

Due to the advent of the 4th Industrial Revolution, it is imperative that we aggressively continue to develop state-of-the-art, cutting edge ICT technology relative to autonomous vehicles, intelligent robots, and so forth. Especially, systems based on convergence IT are being developed in the form of CPSs (Cyber Physical Systems) that interwork with sensors and actuators. Since conventional CPS specification only expresses behavior of one system, specification for collaboration and diversity of CPS systems with characteristics of hyper-connectivity and hyper-convergence in the 4th Industrial Revolution has been insufficiently presented. Additionally, behavioral modeling of CPSs that considers more collaborative characteristics has been unachieved in real-time application domains. This study defines the non-functional requirements that should be identified in developing embedded software for real-time constrained collaborating CPSs. These requirements are derived from ISO 25010 standard and formally specified based on state-based timed process. Defined non-functional requirements may be reused to develop the requirements for new embedded software for CPS, that may lead to quality improvement of CPS.

With the deployment of 4-th generation industrial revolution, the computer based manufacturing technologies employing advanced IT technology are much more popular than any other past years. In this research, some novel S/W technologies related to the industrial X-ray CT (computed tomography) for the inspection of the industrial parts are introduced. First, newly constructed industrial X-ray CT is presented in this paper, where some basic principles and functions of the CT are described. Then some research platforms are developed to generate more advanced functionalities of the industrial CT. Especially, the data transform from CT to general S/W such as Matlab is conducted. And based on this techniques, some supplementary S/W platform such as GUI (graphical user interface) of the CT S/W and some 3D voxel based image processing technologies can be developed in this paper. The industrial CT is one of the rare research items and it's values can be much more enhanced when it is used with advanced IT technologies.

Recently, South Korea preferentially allocated frequencies to build 5G networks as a core competitiveness of the 4th Industrial Revolution. Although the government recognize the importance of 5G construction and preoccupation, network operators have limited to some services, testing the possibility of practical use of 5G. They hesitated to actively build and to carry out the service of a complete 5G network. While 5G is being developed and standardized like this, no one is sure of this step exactly what 5G will be. Thus, following research questions are asked by various stakeholders of 5G market: What is an ideal service providing method for the practical use of 5th generation mobile network? And what are the critical elements to be considered when selecting the service providing method? Therefore, the study aims to investigate 5G service providing issues and elements to be considered and to provide most appropriate service providing method for the practical use of 5G. The results identify that 'Specialized Service' is most appropriate method at the aspects of benefit and opportunity as well as the aspect of risk. In addition, the outcomes imply that the experts replying to the survey not only expect the expansion of emerging market, but also concern the social risk and cost. Since the study dealt with economic, social and business issues in providing 5G service, it might contribute not only to practical research, but also to academic research regarding 5G service method.

An X-event is an event that is difficult to predict and unlikely to occur, but if it occurs, it has a very large ripple effect, such as loss of life, property, territory, and emotional turmoil. Extreme events are unlikely to occur, but they can happen someday, and if they do, they have a great impact on society as a whole, so they must be prepared to minimize the impact and impact. For this purpose, we collected opinions from low-level experts at the Korea Army Research Center for Future & Innovation and the Army College on extreme events that can trigger the near future (10 years) in the field of high-tech science and technology, which is currently developing rapidly after the 4th Industrial Revolution. The researchers intend to synthesize and analyze this data to derive implications and provide a response direction to alleviate the ultra-uncertainty of extreme events and provide a cornerstone for crisis management strategies for the occurrence of serial and simultaneous extreme events.
