Current approaches to semantic interoperability require human intervention in detecting potential con icts and in de ning how those con icts may be resolved. This is a major impedance to achieving \logical connectivity", especially when the number of disparate sources is large. In this paper, we demonstrate that the detection and reconciliation of semantic con icts can be automated using tools ...

There is a dearth of literature on the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in Libyan universities and this paper aims to help address this imbalance by exploring and analyzing how ICTs are used in Libyan universities. Process maps and systems profiling are employed to examine the current and potential uses of ICTs and a new model for assessing ICT utilization in Libyan univ...

The ‘twin challenges’ of the aging of the population and the development of new information and communication technologies (ICTs) is becoming a new research topic in recent years. Existing research on aging and new ICTs often focuses on such topics as the effects of age-related changes in visual, perceptual, motor, and cognitive abilities on older adults’ learning and use of computers and the I...

A variety of single-item composite indices for measurement of information and communication technologies (ICTs) at the country level are currently used to gauge the extent of technological development in developing countries. However, the values that are obtained from these measures typically are not comparable for the purpose of development and growth policy analysis. To remedy this, in 2003 t...

Previous research has identified graduating teachers’ dispositions towards teaching with Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) as a significant issue for teacher preparation programs. Both increased community access to ICTs and changes to the teacher preparation program may have affected those dispositions in recent years. Although it is not clear which factors have contributed mos...
