4、y different levels. The arrival of digital media and computational tools has opened up new possibilities for creative practice. The cutting edge in the digital arts is a highly fertile ground for the investigation of creativity and the role of new technologies. The demands of such work often reveal

5、the limitations of existing technologies and open the door to developing new approaches and techniques. This provides the creativity researcher with opportunities to understand the multi-dimensional characteristics of the creative process. At the same time, it places new demands upon the creators of

7、action and creative practice in Art, Design, Science and Engineering. As a result of a series of studies of creative people and the associated developments in technology, a strategy for practice-based research has evolved in which research and practice are interdependent activities that have mutual

8、benefits as well as distinctive outcomes. This paper charts the development of that co-evolutionary process from the foundation studies to recent outcomes of a major project in art and technology collaboration. The notion of the Studio as a laboratory in the field is introduced and a new methodology

From the results of the investigations that took place, opportunities for the development of technology environments for creative collaboration are proposed.Article Outline1. Introduction2.

The results strongly support the view that non-R&D activities such as design, the use of advanced machinery and training are crucial to underst

The study finds, however, that the impact of these activities is especially important in LMT industries, particularly for the achievement of product innovations.

South Korean firm R&D efficiency has recently generally been superior to that of European and American competitors. South Korean innovative power came from three sources: interaction with operators, getting service information and applications from service providers, and internal and external competition. After successful experiences in innovating products for the domestic market, South Korean cellu
