First International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies and Development (ICTD2006)
May 25-26, 2006, Berkeley, California, U.S.A. http://sims.berkeley.edu/ictd2006

The past decade has witnessed an explosion in projects that apply information and communication technologies (ICT) to support socio-economic development. Every sector is involved ­ governments, academia, small start-ups, large corporations, inter-governmental organizations, and non-profits and non-governmental organizations. In spite of the
tremendous energy and resources behind these projects, scientifically sound research in this space is just beginning to emerge. What is the actual impact of ICT projects? What novel technology is required to meet development needs? What methodologies lead to success or failure of a project?

Dutch Academics Declare Research Free-For-All Posted by samzenpus on Thursday May 12, @05:46AM
from the free-knowledge dept.
houghi writes "The register reports how the Dutch open up their research to the rest of the world. It goes on to tell that commercial scientific publishers such as Elsevier Science are not happy with it. Will other countries and universities follow, or will they stick to the idea that knowledge is a commodity?"

"No início, tínhamos receio de que os telecentros abririam um mundo tão novo para essas comunidades que poderia absorver – ou sufocar – toda a cultura tradicional desses povos. Na prática, percebemos que o mundo novo se abriu, mas em vez de enfraquecer os conhecimentos tradicionais, aconteceu o contrário: os comunitários, ao se depararem na Internet com este novo mundo, tão diferente, conseguiram identificar melhor quem são eles e agora querem montar os sites comunitários para apresentarem a realidade deles para o mundo".

EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE
of the Global Information Technology Report 2004-2005
by Professor Klaus Schwab

The global economy is being changed in profound ways by the onward march of science and technology.

Technological change has, of course, always been a central engine of economic growth, but what is significant about the past decade is the acceleration in the pace of change and, as more and more countries have made efforts to improve their macroeconomic and policy environments, technology and technological innovation appear to have entered a “golden age”, a time when they are emerging as the key drivers of growth and development.

Journal of Sysemics, Cybernetics and Informatics

http://www.iiisci.org/Journal/SCI/Home.asp?var=

This systemization process necessarily implies a progressive increase and enlargement of the relatedness among the associated areas, as well as among their respective disciplines. So, improvement in interdisciplinary communication would provide a very good support for the sought systemization process. This is one of the main objectives of the Journal we are launching with this first issue, and our editorial policy will be directed by it...
