Developing countries are fast becoming players in an increasingly interconnected world. Many developing countries are making use of technological solutions to address unique challenges. However, in many cases, this growth is not accompanied with the development of appropriate information infrastructure protection structures. As technological solutions are deployed in developing countries, there...

In the domain of rule-based automation and intelligence most efforts concentrate on building the technological infrastructure, often disregarding user-home interaction requirements. This paper attempts to mitigate this issue by defining a rich-web rule visual design interface specifically aimed at non-skilled home inhabitants.

Indoor air pollution (IAP) from household use of biomass and coal is a leading environmental health risk in many developing nations. Much of the initial research on household energy technology overlooked the complex interactions of technological, behavioral, economic, and infrastructural factors that determine the success of environmental health interventions. Consequently, despite enormous int...

Special attention is paid to production as most attractive mechanism innovative transformations. essence and types components are considered. Technological offered basic tool restoration domestic enterprises which have suffered during a pandemic military conflict in Ukraine. Inves...

most research on the effect of rural industry has measured two main features: a) an oriented. b) economic impacts (jobs and income. the research method has been qualitative which has studied the effects of the large gas refinery industry on the economy of rural areas and in other dimensions (social and environmental) follow villagers from their perspective is. results show that industrial devel...

This paper examines the development of an information infrastructure involving collaborative technologies at the Spurlock Museum, a museum of world history and culture at the University of Illinois. It details a socio-technological system that was designed to pack and re-locate 45,000 artifacts across campus to a new museum facility. It addresses the question of how the information infrastructu...

The present sequential “mission oriented” approach to robotic planetary exploration, could be changed to an “infrastructure building” approach where a robotic presence is permanent, self sustaining and growing with each mission. We call this self-sustaining robotic ecology approach “robosphere” and discuss the technological issues that need to be addressed before this concept can be realized. O...
