Visual-impaired communities are one of the hindrances groups to accessing web content access in the world. The obstacles encountered by this community in their current practices and to develop best practice guidelines to overcome the…
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has been the phenomenon of the 21st century and its growing advances continue to play a vital role as an ideal tool to acquire, store, disseminate and apply knowledge than ever before. Thus,…
Access to quality education remains unequal, particularly in rural areas where Internet connectivity is limited or nonexistent. This paper introduces a framework for a digital learning platform that uses Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) to…
Approximately half of the global population does not have access to the internet, even though digital connectivity can reduce poverty by revolutionizing economic development opportunities. Due to a lack of data, Mobile Network Operators and…
Web technology is one of the key areas in information and communication technology to be used as a powerful tool in ensuring food security which is one of the main issues in Sri Lanka. Web technology involves in communicating and sharing…
Post-conflict, low-resource settings are menaced with challenges related to low-resources, economic and social instability. The objective of the study is to understand the socio-technical determinants of resilience of resilience of routine…
This paper presents a conceptual insight into the Design of the Metaverse to facilitate educational transformation in selected developing nations within the Global South regions, e.g., India. These regions are often afflicted with…
The world faces increasing challenges related to climate change and shifting geopolitical situations. The COVID 19 pandemic clearly illustrated the need for resilience not just within civil engineering but also within social and economic…
The growth of the Internet and its associated technologies; including digital services have tremendously impacted our society. However, scholars have noted a trend in data flow and collection; and have alleged mass surveillance and digital…
The emergence of commercial satellite communications networks, such as Starlink and OneWeb, has significantly transformed the communications landscape over the last years. As a complement to terrestrial cellular networks, non-terrestrial…
Low Earth orbit Satellite Networks (LSNs) have been advocated as a key infrastructure for truly global coverage in the forthcoming 6G. This paper presents our initial measurement results and observations on the end-to-end network…
The connection between digital and inequality has traditionally been understood in terms of the digital divide or of forms of digital inequality whose core conceptualisation is exclusion. This paper argues that, as the global South moves…
In the coming decade, up to 100 000 satellites in large constellations could be launched into low Earth orbit. The satellites will introduce a variety of negative impacts on astronomy observatories and science, which vary from negligible to…
Providing connectivity to around half of the World population living in rural or underprivileged areas is a tremendous challenge, but also a unique opportunity. In this paper, a survey of technologies for providing connectivity to rural…
Starlink and alike have attracted a lot of attention recently, however, the inner working of these low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellite networks is still largely unknown. This paper presents an ongoing measurement campaign focusing on Starlink,…
Improving global school connectivity is critical for ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education. To reliably estimate the cost of connecting schools, governments and connectivity providers require complete and accurate school…
Recent experimental breakthroughs in satellite quantum communications have opened up the possibility of creating a global quantum internet using satellite links. This approach appears to be particularly viable in the near term, due to the…
This study presents the first global analysis of on-demand video streaming over Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks, using data from over one million households across 85 countries. We highlight Starlink's role as a major LEO provider,…
Recently, the increasing deployment of LEO satellite systems has enabled various space analytics (e.g., crop and climate monitoring), which heavily relies on the advancements in deep learning (DL). However, the intermittent connectivity…
The education system is getting diversified, challenged, and blended for the overwhelming advancement of disruptive technology. The core purpose of this chapter is to visualize the probable solutions of the modern education system using…
