Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Technological innovations such as digitalization, automation, artificial intelligence, and big data are rapidly progressing according to the fourth industrial revolution. In addition, these technological innovations are causing a paradigm shift in various fields such as product development, design, manufacturing, and operation. Artificial intelligence technology in particular is an important factor in the fourth industrial revolution, showing high performance in areas such as computer vision, voice recognition, and natural language processing due to the development of machine learning and deep learning algorithms; these technologies are already being applied to various commercial products and services. Innovative products, services, and business models are created in these applications. Therefore, technology trend analysis offers a flexible instrument to understand both opportunities and competition for emerging technologies. Specifically, a foundation study that can identify important influencing factors and make clear decisions for a more effective approach to technology utilization and application is needed.
