The Internet is generally considered as a global technological system of networked computer networks, as the network of networks working with TCP/IP. Such definitions see the Internet as a purely technological system, they forget that knowledgeable human activities make the Internet work, the technological structure can’t be separated from its human use and the permanent creation and communicat...

Universities are highly computerized places with a strong technological infrastructure ranging from ERP implementations used for the re-organization of administrative processes to web-based learning applications and development tools deployed to restructure existing leaning models. However, the outcome of these technological interventions is not quite clear mainly because the interaction betwee...

The paper analyzes the satellite broadband systems for consumer from the perspective of technological innovation. The suggested interpretation relies upon such concepts as technological paradigm, technological trajectory and salient points. Satellite technology for broadband is a complex system on which each component (i.e. the satellite, the end-user equipment, the on-ground systems and relate...

The Visionair Project aims at the creation of a distributed infrastructure of technological facilities in Europe as a visible, attractive entry point towards research and experimentation in high level visualisation, virtual reality and augmented reality fields, for hosting international researchers and giving them the opportunity of trying and practicing their ideas and their research topics. T...

Internet-of-Things (IoT) is considered one of the next technological revolutions. It enables communication among objects of various kinds. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), being the basic elements of IoT, can help users (humans or machines) to interact and react to realworld events. WSN nodes are capable of sensing, communications, and computations; and are getting more powerful. Though various...

Infrastructure systems consist of many heterogeneous decision making entities and technological artefacts. They are governed through public policy that unravels in a multi-scale institutional context, ranging from norms and values to technical standards. For example, to integrate biogas infrastructure in a region, various forms of governance, laws and regulations need to be implemented. To effe...
