a research analysis on the concept of converging technology and converging types of information technology
The future technological revolution is expected to be led by converging technologies, having enormous effects on economic and industrial environments in the future. But there have been few attempts to make empirical approach to the concept of converging technologies. In order to obtain the overall concept of converging technologies, this study will look into the field of information & communication as a subject area. The scope of the study is especially limited to the information & computation technologies which have been listed in the National R&D Plan. There are three main sub-plans in the National R&D Plan; Green Growth, New Growth Engine, and Science & Technology Basic Plan. To analyze the concept of converging technologies, this study selected the core converging technologies from each area to analyze the concept of converging technologies. Then, their stem technologies are analyzed and presented in a concept map to show how the core converging technologies are created from them. Also, the core technologies are presented on the concept map to distinguish the converging types based on them. This study aims to empirically present the concept of converging technology and to make clearly each converging types based on their core converging technologies.
