We live in the era of information technology. The development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) is vital to the survival of any economy. ICT involves innovations in microelectronics, computing (hardware and software), telecommunications, semiconductors, and fiber optics, etc. Technological innovations, such as the wide diffusion of mobile phones and wireless Internet, play a ...

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has helped to drive increasingly intense global competition. In turn, this intensity increases the need for flexibility and rapid changeability in ICT to support strategies that depend on organisational agility. We report a comparative, cross-cultural case study of the implementation of Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) at a Scandinavian bank an...

This paper discusses the application of the prototyping approach to investigating the requirements on strategies for cooperative planning and con ict resolution of independent agents by means of an example application: the strategic game \Scotland Yard". The strategies for coordinating the agents, which are parallel algorithms, are developed with a prototyping approach using ProSet-Linda. ProSe...

Educators have recommended that the affordances provided by ICTs should be used to promote student-centered constructivist learning. While the actual use of ICT in education has increased, not much change has occurred in terms of the pedagogical practices followed. Information transmission models of teaching are still being followed, albeit with the use of ICT. Efforts at the school level attem...

This study looks at three primary schools which have been successful in integrating ICT into the teaching and learning process. It confirms that a range of organisational features are correlated with successful implementation (eg, a sound learning environment, headteacher commitment, good forward planning etc) and goes on to argue that staff commitment plays a pivotal role in the process. This ...

The possibilities for promoting an expanded conception of democratic political participation through information and communications technologies (ICTs) have been widely observed. Potential synergies between ICT developments and democratic renewal arise from the two-way, interactive nature of new digital media, and their technical enhancement of citizen capacities to access, produce, distribute,...

This chapter reports on types and roles of information and communication technologies (ICT) implemented in knowledge management (KM) solutions in local governments. A sample of nine local councils were rated on usage of various generic and KM specific ICT in supporting knowledge exploitation or exploration, and codification or personalization strategies. The results indicate a marked preference...

The use of Mobile technology in developing rural environments so far has been mostly for call transactions and Short Message System (SMS) services. As Information and Communication Technology (ICT) innovations penetrate deeper into these marginalised regions, the various ICT strategies employed to improve the socio-economic well being of the community are merely not based on specific user commu...

Purpose: There have been a lot of applications atomic energy and nuclear technology in different development activities Tanzania but it seems that people are not aware this. On the other hand, ICT has reported to enhance awareness various issues. It is known how much takes role enhancing Tanzania. This study therefore aimed at uncovering 
 Design/Methodology/Approach: The used quantitative...
