The Global Diffusion of the Internet (GDI) framework is used to examine Internet diffusion in Togo along six dimensions: Pervasiveness, Geographical Dispersion, Sectoral Absorption, Connectivity Infrastructure, Organizational Infrastructure, and Sophistication of Use. The Internet in Togo originated in the private sector in 1996. In the years that followed, the Togolese Internet grew at a slowe...

The development and connection of information and communication technologies with industrial control systems in the so-called critical infrastructure have contributed to the emergence of new complex threats. The critical infrastructure has become a target of sophisticated cyber attacks which exploit numerous known as well as unknown vulnerabilities in one course of an attack. The paper proposes...

Academic and scientific research often involve the construction of formal and numerical models to solve scientific and engineering problems. Many organizations are evaluating and migrating toward new trends in information systems and IT infrastructure. Now the challenges are less technological and become more cultural as related to governance issues. The paper deals with improving an enterprise...

We identify top management leadership, a sophisticated management infrastructure, process management efficacy, and stakeholder participation as important elements of a quality-oriented organizational system for software development. A model interrelating these constructs and quality performance is proposed. Data collected through a national survey of IS executives in Fortune 1000 companies and ...

During the two-year project BABS2 funded by German Research Association (DFG) BSB focuses together with the LeibnizSupercomputing Centre (LRZ) on advancing its organiza...

The notion of information infrastructures, introduced in the 1990s and refined during the past ten years, has proven quite fruitful to the IS field. It changed the perspective from organizations to networks and from systems to infrastructures, allowing for a global and emergent perspective on information systems. However, something is missing in this theory. What is an information infrastructur...

Enterprise information systems often face difficulties in linking various components and external systems. Interoperability among collaborating participants is hard to tackle in both business and IT domains. These call for effective architectural solutions that coordinate powerful technologies with business applications to enable seamless inter-organizational integration. The inter-organization...
