The Internet of Things (IoT) is the enabler for smart city to achieve the envision of the "Internet of Everything" by intelligently connecting devices without human interventions. The explosive growth of IoT devices makes the amount of…

In this work, three of many ICT-specific challenges of LCA are discussed. First, the inconsistency versus uncertainty is reviewed with regard to the meta-technological nature of ICT. As an example, the semiconductor technologies are used to…

Despite of the importance of access to computers and to the Internet for the development of people and their inclusion in society, there are people that still suffer with digital divide and social exclusion. Delay/Disruption-Tolerant…

Existing mobile devices have the capability to use multiple network technologies simultaneously to help increase performance; but they rarely, if at all, effectively use these technologies in parallel. We first present empirical data to…

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) development on country's scientific ranking as measured by H-index. Moreover, this study applies ICT development sub-indices including ICT Use,…

The extreme pervasive nature of mobile technologies, together with the users need to continuously interact with her personal devices and to be always connected, strengthen the user-centric approach to design and develop new communication…

The leisure and hospitality industry is a significant driver of the global economy, with the adoption of new technologies transforming service delivery and customer experience. Despite the transformative potential and benefits associated…

Smart environments integrate Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) into devices, vehicles, buildings and cities to offer an increased quality of life, energy efficiency and economical sustainability. In this perspective, the…

Despite the fact, a handful of scholars have endorsed the Internet of Things (IoT) as an effective transformative tool for shifting traditional farming to smart farming, relatively little study has addressed the enabling role of smart…

This paper addresses the challenge of robust cellular connectivity in dense, underdeveloped urban environments, specifically focusing on Kathmandu, Nepal. As cities grow, existing cellular infrastructure struggles to meet the demand for…

Understanding where Internet services are hosted, and how users reach them, has captured the interest of government regulators and others concerned with the privacy of data flows. In this paper we focus on government websites -- services…

This study explores the shift from community networks (CNs) to community data in rural areas, focusing on combining data pools and data cooperatives to achieve data justice and foster and a just AI ecosystem. With 2.7 billion people still…

The Internet of Bio-nano Things is a significant development for next generation communication technologies. Because conventional wireless communication technologies face challenges in realizing new applications (e.g., in-body area networks…

The lack of interoperability between cellular access networks has long been a challenging burden, which telecommunication engineers and researchers are trying to overcome. In second generation networks for example, this problem lies in the…

We propose how a developing country like Sri Lanka can benefit from privacy-enabled machine learning techniques such as Federated Learning to detect road conditions using crowd-sourced data collection and proposed the idea of implementing a…

An increasing number of human activities are studied using data produced by individuals' ICT devices. In particular, when ICT data contain spatial information, they represent an invaluable source for analyzing urban dynamics. However, there…

As the world's population increases, so does the demand for food. This demand for food in turn puts pressure on agriculture in many countries. The impact of climate change on the environment has made it difficult to produce food that may be…

Massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC) to serve billions of IoT devices is considered to open a potential new market for the next generation cellular network. Legacy cellular networks cannot meet the requirements of emerging mMTC…

This paper is part of an ongoing project that seeks to address a gap in disaster information coordination and collaboration in Zimbabwe. There is lack of coordinated information and knowledge in natural disaster and emergency situations in…

The ability to visually verify some element of a remotely controlled agricultural automation system through a photograph is valuable in many cases, not only in the operational phase of the system, but especially in the design and…
