The world of Open Source software has demonstrated the remarkable appeal of communal software development. Large number of software projects can leverage, reuse, and coordinate their work through Internet and web-based technology. For example, SourceForge currently hosts about sixty thousand software systems. Similar strategies have been suggested for corporate software development, through not...

The discussion on ICT for developing countries often focuses on interface design to include marginalized users. However, this is only part of the challenge the development of ICT in such contexts face. Based on two past projects and an ongoing one, this position paper categorizes the diverse challenges the provision of financial infrastructures for rural and underserved societies encounter. Man...

The Instituto Venezolano de Investigaciones Cientificas (IVIC) is a government-funded multidisciplinary academic institution dedicated to research, development and technology in many areas of knowledge. Biomedical projects and publications comprise about 40% of the total at IVIC. In this article, we present an overview of some selected research and development projects conducted at IVIC which w...

in this paper, first, a conceptual framework has been developed and while truly recognizing different aspects of the technology transfer process, it is trying to introduce a decision-making methodology in the choice of projects. then by choosing effective variables in technology transfer process, a multiple criteria decision-making (mcdm) model has been designed, so that the choice of appropria...

This paper describes undergraduate electroencephalography projects using the OpenEEG platform. The projects applied a broad range of curriculum components including computer interfacing, signal processing and software development. Project applications were wide-ranging and provided opportunities to explore research areas such as Brain-Computer Interfacing , affective computing and assistive tec...

Today’s software development projects are confronted with a frequently changing environment like rapidly altering business domains and processes, a fast technology evolution and a great variety of evolving methods and development processes. Therefore highly flexible and adaptable software development processes are required, which allow projects to react on changes quickly and to adopt existing ...
