Abstract of Keynote Speech Industry 4.0 is the vision of future manufacturing established by the German government and is perceived as a likely pathway to the Fourth Industrial Revolution. While information technologies and electronics paved the foundation leading to the Third Industrial Revolution, the Fourth Industrial Revolution seems to be imminent with rapid advancement of Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI) as well as other exponential technologies. IoT enables the communication and cooperation of biological and physical entities and subsequent synergy between the physical and the digital worlds. That is, by connecting biological and physical entities online, previously elusive phenomena and behaviors can now be captured to create innovative and effective services, which in return empower entities in the physical world at an exponential pace. The core technology of Industry 4.0, Cyber Physical Systems, a more ellaborate notion of IoT, further facilitate a framework where connected objects, devices, equipments, and facilities can communicate and coordinate and thereby create an environment that is more agile and flexible and capable of facing more complex production (or construction) requirements. In such a system, the key enabler is not machines but software and algorithms which create functions and intelligence to facilitate innovative services and business models. The same system framework is applicable in many other industry sectors and will have impact not only on the industries but also on the society as a whole. Innovative business models such as Uber and Airbnb for shared economy have sipping into our socio-economic system. A new economy is in the forming. In this talk, evolving services, business models, economic systems and subsequent impact from Industry 4.0 or IoT will be presented. Cases related to construction automation will also be illustrated. and ASEAN-Korea Trade and Technology Workshop 5 Profile of Keynote Speaker (Dr. CHO, Wonguon) Distinguished Professor, Woosong University Honorary Consul of Lao PDR, PROFILE Dr. Cho, Wong Guon is a distinguished professor of management at Woosong University, Honorary Consul of Lao PDR, Chairman of the advisory committee of Souphanouvong University at Laos and an advisor of National Polytechnic Institute of Cambodia(NPIC).

  • Democratization and Development in Laos
    Restructuring Domestic Institutions: Democratization and Development in Laos Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades doctor philosophiae (Dr.phil.) im Fach Südostasien-Studien eingereicht am 31 Januar 2019 an der Kultur-, Sozial- und Bildungswissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin von Supitcha Punya, M.A. Prof. Dr. -Ing. Dr. Sabine Kunst Prof. Dr. Christian Kassung Präsidentin der Dekan der Kultur-, Sozial- und Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Bildungswissenschaftlichen Fakultät Gutachterin/ Gutachter 1. Prof. Dr. Boike Rehbein 2. Prof. Dr. Claudia Derichs Tag de Verteidigung: 4 July 2019 i Abstract The research titled “Restructuring Domestic Institution: Development and Democratization in Laos” aims to analyze how international development norms, such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), have shaped Laos’ domestic institutions and development policy. It also aims to investigate the influence of international development norms on Lao state power, as well as its capacity to achieve development goals. This research employs a qualitative methodology to obtain relevant data from various parties involved in the development, which include the Lao government, the development partners, the Lao civil society and Lao scholars. The elite interview and process tracing are chosen as overarching tools to select key informants and range of literature for primary and secondary data, respectively. The research results show that: First, the development partners support the SDGs in Laos through international development assistance to the Lao government in four different aspects. These include economic development, environmental sustainability, social inclusion and good governance, all of which have helped shape Lao domestic institutions and development policy to meet international standards. However, the development partners cannot curtail the political power of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party (the Party) or the Lao government in manipulating the SDGs to serve a political purpose.

  • Uri Nara, Our Nation: Unification, Identity and the Emergence of a New Nationalism Amongst South Korean Young People
    Uri nara, our nation: Unification, identity and the emergence of a new nationalism amongst South Korean young people. Emma Louise Gordon Campbell August 2011 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University ii DECLARATION Except where otherwise acknowledged, this thesis is my own work. Emma Campbell iii iv Preface I first encountered Korea in 1996 when I was studying Chinese at a university in Beijing. Aside from a large group of British students from the University of Leeds, of which I was one, most other students learning Chinese were from South Korea. By the late 1990s, South Korean students already constituted the majority of foreign students in China. My room-mate was Korean as were most of my friends and as we spoke to each other in our common language Chinese I first came to discover Korea. My Korean friends introduced me to Korean food in restaurants run by Chaoxianzu or Joseonjok (Korean-Chinese) in the small Korea-town that had emerged to service the growing South Korean community in Beijing. During that stay in Beijing I also travelled to North Korea for the first time and then in the following year, 1998, to Seoul. It was during the 1990s that attitudes to North Korea amongst young South Koreans appear to have started their evolution. These changes coincided with the growth of travel by young South Koreans for study and leisure. Koreans travelling overseas were encountering foreigners of a similar age from countries such as the UK and discovering that they had more in common with them than the Joseonjok in the Korean restaurants of Beijing or North Koreans who, as South Koreans would soon learn, were facing starvation and escaping in ever growing numbers into China.
