In...

This paper presents the main aspects of research, analysis and design of the open identity management architecture for e-government development within GUIDE, a project financed by the 6FP of the EC. The most important identity management issues strongly influencing the European e-government development are briefly discussed. An emphasis is placed on the innovative interdisciplinary approach use...

MOBIlearn was a large, multinational European-funded research and development project that explored new ways to use mobile environments to meet the needs of learners, working by themselves and with others. The aim of the project was to develop a new m-learning architecture for a pedagogically-sound mobile learning environment, and to evaluate an instantiation of that architecture using existing...

this article presents a novel method and development paradigm that proposes a general template for an enterprise information structure and allows for the automatic generation and modification of enterprise workflows. this dynamically integrated workflow development approach utilises a conceptual ontology of domain processes and tasks, enterprise charts, and enterprise entities. it also suggests...
