The advancement of e-learning technologies has made it viable for developments in education and technology to be combined in order to fulfil educational needs worldwide. E-learning consists of informal learning approaches and emerging technologies to support the delivery of learning skills, materials, collaboration and knowledge sharing. E-learning is a holistic approach that covers a wide rang...

E-learning as a new frontier in teaching and learning is transforming education to its scope, boundary and pedagogy. It offers exciting opportunities and provides access to global information. Its effort is a far reaching one, creating a learning atmosphere that defies the constraint of time and distance. Despite having the required technologies and infrastructures at their disposal, some notab...

Positioned at the confluence between human/machine and hardware/software integration and backed by a solid proof of concept realized through several scenarios encompassing e-Securities, e-Health, and e-Logistics for global manufacturing and emergency response management, this work exploits latest advances in information and networking technologies to set a systematic framework for the design of...

The design and development of computational infrastructures supporting existing tele-laboratory experiences in the field of automation and robotics are described. The goal of the activity is to provide a proper e-learning environment in which remote laboratory experiences are integrated in a coherent way. The addition of e-learning features, as self-assessment and progress monitoring tools, asy...

In this paper we propose an architecture of e-learning systems characterized by the use of Web Services and a suitable Middleware component. These technical infrastructures allow us to extend the system with new services as well as to integrate and reuse heterogeneous software e-learning components. Moreover, they let us better support the “anytime and anywhere” learning paradigm. �s a matter o...

Vidar Hepsø BI Norwegian School of Management We present and discuss a historical reconstruction of the development of a Microsoft SharePoint eInfrastructure in NorthOil (2003 – 2008). The eInfrastructure was to support strategically emphasized work processes and open up a richer context of decision-making around production optimization. Specifically, the new eInfrastructure was to make it more...

In this paper we present an architecture for an information container that can support complex eGovernment procedures. Based on basic trends and a eGovernment scenario, we apply the research results gained in a project on electronic contracting on this eGovernment scenario. We argue, that eGovernment and eBusiness have structural similarities, that allow us to apply a generic contracting contai...

The technological revolution has spread over today's world, and it is clearly seen in banking, especially electronic banking. E-Banking has many dimensions, criteria, and components, and judging its progress based on dimensions leads to difficulty and bias. There is also a lack of comprehensive information references in the literature. Therefore, introducing a combinational index to accurately ...

implementing infrastructures of e-marketing has been considered in this study. they are classified into external (related to government) and internal (related to enterprise) categories based on the factors’ level and are classified into strategic and operational categories based on the factors’ nature. 35 factors have been finalized as the basis of the questionnaire. the importance and position...
