Real-world experience teaches us that to manage emergencies, efficient crisis response coordination is crucial. ICT infrastructures are effective in supporting the people involved in such contexts, by supporting effective ways of interaction. They also should provide innovative means of communication and information management. At present, centralized architectures are mostly used for this purp...

During the last years, a large number of information and communication technologies (ICT) have been proposed to be supportive of knowledge management (KM). Several KM instruments have been developed and implemented in many organizations that require support by ICT. Recently, many of these technologies are bundled in the form of comprehensive, enterprise-wide knowledge infrastructures. The imple...

An operational e-health infrastructure including pervasive services and remote distributed applications servers in the cardiology domain is presented. Based on the implementation of previously reported software components building blocks, developed in particular within the frame of European projects, the architecture promotes and facilitates the use of advanced methods of quantitative electroca...

First, we briefly explore issues of infrastructures of information polity, informatisation of public administration, civic networking, regulation, information inequalities and ‘digital divide.’ Next, we sketch the perspectives of a socially accountable policy for the new ICTs and we conclude with the value of ‘democratic rationalisation.’ It is generally accepted (Dutton, 1996) that the develop...

Monitoring large-scale systems is of fundamental importance in modern infrastructures. Many of these large-scale systems are complex interconnections of sub-components which interact by means of communication channels with limited bandwidth. Therefore the information must be encoded in order to be transmitted. Given a class of encoders, the problem of detecting faults affecting some of these su...

On the one hand, libraries are at the forefront of the digital transformation and digital information infrastructures, on the other, they manage and curate cultural heritage collections. This brings about new ways of engagement with information and knowledge and the need to rethink skills and competency profiles – which enable librarians to support e-research all along the research cycle. This ...
