An Analysis of Global High Technology Leadership and the Role of Governmental Incentives
The United States has long been considered a pioneer in emerging technologies. But there is an abundance of literature to document that other nations are catching up and that developing nations adopt advanced technologies by leapfrogging state of the art technology platforms. Countries such as Japan, Korea and more recently China, have emerged as contenders for technology leadership in various areas. In this paper, we first analyze the literature to identify the key factors that determine global technology leadership. Based on the literature, we develop a model to analyze the relationship between these factors and technology leadership. In addition, we propose that government support, such as incentives and expenditure on R&D etc., impact this relationship and strengthen it. We use panel data analysis to test this relationship and our findings indicate that R&D and main science and technology indicators (MSTI) are significant determinants of technology leadership. This work presents several implications and a path forward for global technology leadership

Project IP-3 Improved cassava for the developing world Annual Report 2002
It has been challenging for the technical and regulatory communities to
formulate requirements for trustworthiness of the cyber-physical systems (CPS)
due to the complexity of the issues associated with their design, deployment,
and operations. The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST),
through a public working group, has released a CPS Framework that adopts a
broad and integrated view of CPS and positions trustworthiness among other
aspects of CPS. This paper takes the model created by the CPS Framework and its
further developments one step further, by applying ontological approaches and
reasoning techniques in order to achieve greater understanding of CPS. The
example analyzed in the paper demonstrates the enrichment of the original CPS
model obtained through ontology and reasoning and its ability to deliver
additional insights to the developers and operators of CPS.Comment: IET PETRAS 2018 conferenc
