  2. Work context • The PROMTECH project • European project to identify and assesspromising emerging technical fields • Consortium:Austrian Research Centers GmbH – ARC systems research, ViennaFraunhofer Institut für Systemtechnik und Innovationsforschung, KarlsruheINstitut de l‘Information Scientifique et Technique, CNRS, Nancy • Operational choices:Search for articles in Engineering and Life Sciences with links to PhysicsUse of PASCAL database for its fine classification for individual papers(i.e. a paper may have several codes or domains) 300+ fieldsIdentification of fields with 4 growth indexes 45 fieldsFinal selection by experts 10 fields Interrelationships of technologies – the concept of home technology terms

  3. The PASCAL database • Example of a bibliographical record: NO : PASCAL 04-0458167 INIST ET : Reconfigurable optoelectronic interconnects for VLSI circuits based on fibre arrays AU : FEY (D.); HOPPE (L.); LOOS (A.); PANDALAI (S.) AF : Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena, Institute of Computer Science, Ernst-Abbe-Platz 2 D -/07743 Jena/Germany (1 aut., 2 aut., 3 aut.) SO : Recent research developments in optics; India; 2003; Pp. 205-222 EA : The aim of the presented work is to realise optical interconnects ... CC : 001B40B79T; 001D03F15 ED : Data transmission; Printed circuits; Optical fiber networks; ... Physics Optoelectronics Interrelationships of technologies – the concept of home technology terms

  4. Home technology terms • From the 45 fields (period 2005-2009), we extract the keywords, • Based on its relative frequency, each keyword is assigned a technological field: its “home technology”, • Each technology is characterized by a set of keywords we call “home technology terms”, • Each technology is also indexed by keywords from other home technologies:interrelationshipstrade balance • An artificial construction with artifacts Interrelationships of technologies – the concept of home technology terms

  5. Case study: optoelectronics • Definition: study and application of electronic devices that source, detect and control light. • Negative trade balance:export: 487 HT termsimport: 1883 HT terms • Net importer from all the other fields Interrelationships of technologies – the concept of home technology terms

  6. Impact on Optoelectronics Electronic tubes Transistors Molecular electronics 194 69 139 MEMS Optoelectronics Electronic circuits 74 137 83 120 134 Electrical energy Thermical treatment of metals Magnetics Interrelationships of technologies – the concept of home technology terms

  8. Applying a clustering method • Stanalyst: platform for the analysis of scientific & technical information • used to find the different intersections between Physics and Engineering or Life Sciences • Neurodoc: clustering tool using an axial K-means algorithm • Impact of Optoelectronics: • all records from other fields with at least one HT term from Optoelectronics • Impact on Optoelectronics: • clustering of the Optoelectronics corpus using only imported HT terms Interrelationships of technologies – the concept of home technology terms

  12. Conclusion • We were looking for innovation at the intersection of Physics and Engineering or Life Sciences, • Using the well-defined domain classification scheme of the PASCAL database, • We assigned terms to technologies in a pragmatic way “home technology terms”, • To analyze the interrelationships and the trade balance between fields. • How useful is it? Still not sure, but we are working on it. Interrelationships of technologies – the concept of home technology terms
