Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research project, I could publish 23 research papers and also made 39 presentations in conferences and workshops. Most of them are published or presented by me as a single author. Additionally, I published 2 Japanese single-authored books and wrote 5 single-authored articles in books. In this research project, I described interactions between scientific and technological activities as a co-evolutionary process and showed that this process produces new specialist languages and new scientific disciplines. Finally, I explicated the main results of this project in my Japanese book, Beyond the Paradigm Theory: A Construction of Evolutionary Theory for Science and Technology (2016).
