A Scalable Enabling It Infrastructure for Developing Regions (ict4b)
ثبت نشده
چکیده
There are thousands of stand-alone projects that aim to bring information and communication technology (ICT) to developing regions, but nearly all of them depend on existing hardware and infrastructure developed for affluent regions. As such, these imported technologies fail to address key challenges in cost, deployment, power, and support for populations with low levels of literacy and multiple languages. This project, ICT4B (Information and Communication Technology for Billions), develops the key technologies and infrastructure to enhance these projects, and enable new, previously intractable projects.

A Scalable Middleware for Presence Virtualization and Federation
Presence is a key enabling technology for developing rich context-aware applications. However, there is no general purpose presence infrastructure available today which is both flexible and highly scalable to cater to a wide range of end users (consumers) and applications. We have introduced earlier [12], the concept of virtual presentities (logical presentities created in response to applicati...
متن کاملA New Framework for Increasing the Sustainability of Infrastructure Measurement of Smart Grid
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is one of the most significant applications of the Smart Grid. It is used to measure, collect, and analyze data on power consumption. In the AMI network, the smart meters traffics are aggregated in the intermediate aggregators and forwarded to the Meter Data Management System (MDMS). The infrastructure used in this network should be reliable, real-time an...
متن کاملMulti-objective and Scalable Heuristic Algorithm for Workflow Task Scheduling in Utility Grids
To use services transparently in a distributed environment, the Utility Grids develop a cyber-infrastructure. The parameters of the Quality of Service such as the allocation-cost and makespan have to be dealt with in order to schedule workflow application tasks in the Utility Grids. Optimization of both target parameters above is a challenge in a distributed environment and may conflict one an...
متن کاملIncreasing Technology Adoption in Developing Regions through Trust Routes
A significant percentage of human population in developing regions lies towards the Bottom of the Pyramid. Many of these cannot afford their own IT infrastructure or be able to use it directly due to low literacy levels. This results in lack of use and awareness of technology in various segments leading to several inefficiencies. Increasing technology awareness and adoption is therefore a prime...
