dc.description.abstract | Traditional foresight research process and future research methodologies is no longer satisfy in the complicated society. For the correctness and efficiency of foresight studies, using future research methodologies properly even combining multiple future research methodologies is getting important.
To overcome these problems, lat foresight research process satisfy in any foresight studies is a solution. For this, finding a foresight research process by analyzing each sub-processes and future research methodologies first, then fitting future research methodologies in foresight research process. By this process, foresight researchers allow using property future research methodologies in each foresight research sub-processes. When facing a tough problem, future researchers can also find a set of future research methodologies belongs to foresight research process. Comparing with using future research methodologies singly and foresight research process, the latter has more tools, more flexibility and more property.
To make the relationship between future research methodologies clearly, theirs similarity, dependency, extension and object-oriented concepts had been analyzed. It represent the flexibility between future research methodologies and it is also the pre-process of modeling foresight research system.
Object-oriented concepts had been used in modeling foresight research system. Unified Modeling Language(UML) had been used in describing foresight research process, future research methodologies and theirs fitting. These knocked on the door of foresight research’s systematization. It also makes foresight researchers improve the correctness and reduce the complexity in foresight studies by the foresight research system. Providing foresight researchers a complete tool for foresight study.
Concluding previous explanation, the specific contribution of this thesis is fitting future research methodologies in foresight research process, providing foresight research a complete process. Second, modularize foresight research process and future research methodologies, let future researchers using it property and flexibility. Third, the UML model makes foresight research system as possible.
