The Interplay between Humans and Technology
Authors: Steyn Jacques
Published: August 2010

A brief overview of how computers, more specifically ICT, have changed over the past half a century is presented. Decades ago, when Gunilla Bradley began investigating the use of computer systems from a psychosocial perspective, ICT was used predominantly in the work environment, particularly for data capturing. Systems were designed for the workplace. Since then computer technology has changed significantly expanding to private and social use as well as for entertainment and communication. This chapter is about the history and development of ICT of which Bradley was a part. Now, at the end of her career, ICT will move beyond social aspects. The question is: what is next? - especially as workplace metaphors are still used for interface design. I propose that the human aspect should be the next dominant focus of attention, which implies a redesign of systems in order to reduce task load, effort and stress. This proposal is founded on a techno-utilitarian philosophy.
In Search for Unity within the Diversity of Information Societies

Published: August 2010

This final Chapter represents the responsibility, the privilege but also the aspiration of the two editors of this Gunilla Bradley Festschrift. The aspiration here is no less than to identify a key message that emerges out of the contributions in this volume considered as a whole. In other words, the question here is: what do all this research and reasoning say to us? Of course, each reader of this Volume will derive her or his own interpretation and thus also a key message, which we only see as the richness offered by this Festschrift. Therefore, the key message presented here must be regarded only as one possible message that is formed by the two editors’ own predispositions: intellectual, cultural, motivational, and other.
Organizational Culture in the Greek Science and Technology Parks
Authors: Kriemadis Thanos , Pelagidis Theodore
Published: August 2010

This chapter contributes to an understanding of the organizational culture of the industrial spin-off knowledge-based enterprises, which operate within the Science and Technology Parks in Greece. In this context, a critical number of questionnaires have been distributed to the spin-offs to examine whether firms born within the parks have developed a functional, innovative organizational culture, one that provides a solid foundation for organizational effectiveness and business excellence. The chapter presents the results of a quantitative analysis of the data collected in a fieldwork study. It also includes the necessary policies for the spin-offs to overcome organizational culture problems and adopt the culture of innovation and business excellence.
Engaging Learning Models with Information and Communication Technologies in Advancing Electronic Learning
Authors: Wu Jen-Her , Tennyson Robert D. , Hsia Tzyh-Lih
Published: August 2010

Emerging information and communication technologies and learning models have triggered a new wave of educational innovation: electronic learning (E-learning). This study employs a hypercube innovation model to analyze the differences in technology and learning models in conventional (face-to-face) classroom learning and E-learning environments. The results of the analyses indicate that the innovation from traditional classroom learning to E-learning is radical for both the learner and instructor, leading to drastic changes in the technology and learning model. For education institutions, the technology is a fundamental change, while the learning model is reinforced. From the dynamic capability perspectives, a set of core capabilities needed for successfully exploiting E-learning is identified. These results provide insight for learners, instructors, and education institutions for enhancing their understanding of E-learning innovation and provide guidelines to help E-learning stakeholders adapt from conventional classrooms to E-learning environments.
ICT Policy Development Process in Africa
Authors: Chavula Hopestone Kayiska , Chekol Abebe
Published: August 2010

This chapter reviews the information and communication technology (ICT) policy development process in Africa and assesses to what extent African countries have taken on board ICT issues in their overall national development policies and plans. It is argued that African countries lag behind in technological issues hence negatively affecting the overall development of the continent due to their inability to recognize the critical role played by ICTs in overall national development issues. The chapter emphasizes the significance of mainstreaming ICT policies and strategies in the overall development process, so that African countries remain competitive on the global market. This is done by taking into consideration the development and implementation of the National Information and Communication Infrastructure (NICI) policy and plans in different African countries initiated by the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) after recognizing the little emphasis placed on the significance of ICTs in national development policies by African countries. The chapter assesses also to what extent these NICI policies and plans have impacted on ICT and economic development, and tries to propose the way forward for the continent.
ICT Policies on Structural and Socio-Cultural Participation in Brussels
Authors: Mertens Stefan , Servaes Jan
Published: August 2010

In this chapter the authors present an overview and an evaluation of ICT policy in Brussels based on an analysis of policy documents and interviews with 12 policy experts. They discuss two types of policies enhancing structural participation (digital education policy for youngsters and digital adult education policy) and two types of policies enhancing socio-cultural participation (wireless networks in Brussels and E-government of Brussels) To contextualize this presentation of policies some results from a survey among youngsters (N=1005) and from exploratory focus groups will be used as well. These policies are evaluated as policies with a well-intended access approach, but the necessity to focus more on digital education and not only on digital access is stressed.
Reproducing Dependency
Authors: Geray Haluk , Özdemir Funda Basaran
Published: August 2010

Although many critical scholars in the West have acknowledged the unequal distribution of power across the globe, few have attempted to undertake systematic research on how countries in the periphery are drawn into the neo liberal project of globalization under the discourse of Knowledge Based Economy (KBE) and how this process effects policy formation regarding ICTs. The purpose of this chapter is to analyze Knowledge Based Economy (KBE)/Information Society (IS) discourses in constructing global dependency relations on ICT policies within the context of Turkey. These dependency relations have many aspects including a discursive one. In this study, the focus will be on policy documents to better understand the overall discourse, social processes and structures which have been reflected in, represented and constructed or constituted by this discourse to theorize and transform. Four documents were selected as representing the hegemonic center, one produced by the World Bank and three policy documents from the European Union. Additionally three documents which represent the Turkey context were selected. Upon examination two documents were found to be counter hegemonic and the other supported the hegemonic visions of the World Bank and the European Union. Turkey has signed a number of stand-by agreements with the IMF/World Bank due to economic crisis over the last twenty years and Turkey’s bid to become a full member of the European Union necessitated alignment of legal infrastructure and domestic policies. The chapter also explains how the dependent discourses reversed ICT and network policy formation based on local capabilities and local needs.
Advancing Interoperability for Agile Cross-Organisational Collaboration
Authors: Gionis George A. , Schroth Christoph , Janner Till
Published: August 2010

The level of adoption of advanced integration technologies, by private and public organizations, in support of their electronic collaborative business transactions is still relatively low, especially among Small and Medium-sized Enterprises. Current solutions often lack a common understanding of the underlying business processes, document semantics and business rules that are imposed on them in different sectors and countries. Furthermore, software applications are not able to cope with the huge variety of differentiation in process and document semantics, stemming from the highly diverse requirements of the stakeholders. This study presents a comprehensive Model-Driven Architecture for enabling agile cross-organisational collaboration, in an international context, by integrating business and legal rules in private and collaborative processes, business documents and their resulting service orchestrations. The resulting framework, that was mostly developed and applied in the course of the EU-funded research project GENESIS, ranges from graphical process and data models and declarative rule structures to the technical specification of a hybrid software architecture for integrating rule with process and data models.
Integrated Watershed Management for Sustainable Development
Authors: Worku Goshu
Published: August 2010

The over exploitation of natural resources (soil, water, fauna and flora) is critically affecting the social, economic and environmental needs of the current generation and is feared to risk the ability of the future generation to meet its needs. Nowadays citizens in many countries are facing severe livelihood challenges ranging from seeking for external aids for existence to massive life devastation due to natural hazards such as flooding & land slide imposing death tolls. The degradation of the natural environment imposes the threatening of life not only in those less developed nations but also life all over the globe. The problem is more pronounced in less developed countries like the Eastern Nile Catchment nations. Sustainable development is hoped nowadays to be a promising solution. In this regard integrated watershed management is a potential tool for bringing about such a promising tool, by laying better ground for sustainable development. This chapter is prepared with the intent of showing the link between integrated watershed management and sustainable development which a country envisages to reach, and the contribution of integrated watershed management to sustainable development. Various previous documents are reviewed and used as sources of information for the preparation of the write up. The author’s professional experience on the current overall natural resources condition is an added value, too. Sustainable development, which can be achieved through proper conservation and utilization of the existing resources by employing integrated watershed management, is development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs,. Integrated watershed management is the process of formulation and carrying out a course of actions involving the manipulation of resources in the watershed to provide goods and services without adversely affecting the soil, water, vegetation base and other elements of the ecosystem, by employing multi-disciplinary teams.
Building Capacity for Better Water Decision Making through Internet-Based Decision Support Systems
Authors: Salewicz Kazimierz A. , Nakayama Mikiyasu , Bruch Carl
Published: August 2010

Decision making processes for developing water resources systems infrastructure and operational policies have ceased to be the exclusive domain of just a few, privileged persons making decisions. Now, more and more groups of the society at both the international and national levels are demanding opportunities to participate in decision making, as well as information about potential consequences of policy decisions. In some countries, public participation in the decision making process has been already sanctioned by law, for example through Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), public permitting processes, and notice and comment rulemaking procedures. However, in many developing countries, public participation remains unfulfilled despite growing awareness and pressure exercised by various interest groups. To be effective, public participation – either active or passive (through access to knowledge and information concerning the decisions and their impact) – needs appropriate political and legal regulations, in addition to technical means to disseminate objective, complete, and comprehensive information about nature of the decisions to be made, potential alternatives, feasibility of solutions, impact of the potential decisions, etc. Among plethora of the available methods and means for providing the information to the broad circles of the society, the Internet already plays a special and powerful role. This chapter presents the concepts and notions underlying formal approaches to decision making processes, as well as providing a review of the possibilities offered by the Internet to enable access to various sources and types of information that can directly or indirectly support the decision making processes in complex water resources systems.
Nonlinear Partial Least Squares An Overview
Authors: Rosipal Roman
Published: August 2010

In many areas of research and industrial situations, including many data analytic problems in chemistry, a strong nonlinear relation between different sets of data may exist. While linear models may be a good simple approximation to these problems, when nonlinearity is severe they often perform unacceptably. The nonlinear partial least squares (PLS) method was developed in the area of chemical data analysis. A specific feature of PLS is that relations between sets of observed variables are modeled by means of latent variables usually not directly observed and measured. Since its introduction, two methodologically different concepts of fitting existing nonlinear relationships initiated development of a series of different nonlinear PLS models. General principles of the two concepts and representative models are reviewed in this chapter. The aim of the chapter is two-fold i) to clearly summarize achieved results and thus ii) to motivate development of new computationally efficient nonlinear PLS models with better performance and good interpretability.
Virtual Screening Methods Based on Bayesian Statistics
Authors: Vogt Martin , Bajorath Jürgen
Published: August 2010

Computational screening of in silico-formatted compound libraries, often termed virtual screening (VS), has become a standard approach in early-phase drug discovery. In analogy to experimental high-throughput screening (HTS), VS is mostly applied for hit identification, although other applications such as database filtering are also pursued. Contemporary VS approaches utilize target structure and/or ligand information as a starting point. A characteristic feature of current ligand-based VS approaches is that many of these methods differ substantially in the complexity of the underlying algorithms and also of the molecular representations that are utilized. In recent years, probabilistic VS methods have become increasingly popular in the field and are currently among the most widely used ligand-based approaches. In this contribution, the authors will introduce and discuss selected methodologies that are based on Bayesian principles.
Application of Machine Leaning in Drug Discovery and Development
Authors: Zhang Shuxing
Published: August 2010

Machine learning techniques have been widely used in drug discovery and development, particularly in the areas of cheminformatics, bioinformatics and other types of pharmaceutical research. It has been demonstrated they are suitable for large high dimensional data, and the models built with these methods can be used for robust external predictions. However, various problems and challenges still exist, and new approaches are in great need. In this Chapter, the authors will review the current development of machine learning techniques, and especially focus on several machine learning techniques they developed as well as their application to model building, lead discovery via virtual screening, integration with molecular docking, and prediction of off-target properties. The authors will suggest some potential different avenues to unify different disciplines, such as cheminformatics, bioinformatics and systems biology, for the purpose of developing integrated in silico drug discovery and development approaches.
Prediction of Compound-Protein Interactions with Machine Learning Methods
Authors: Yamanishi Yoshihiro , Kashima Hisashi
Published: August 2010

In silico prediction of compound-protein interactions from heterogeneous biological data is critical in the process of drug development. In this chapter the authors review several supervised machine learning methods to predict unknown compound-protein interactions from chemical structure and genomic sequence information simultaneously. The authors review several kernel-based algorithms from two different viewpoints: binary classification and dimension reduction. In the results, they demonstrate the usefulness of the methods on the prediction of drug-target interactions and ligand-protein interactions from chemical structure data and genomic sequence data.
Itakura-Saito Nonnegative Factorizations of the Power Spectrogram for Music Signal Decomposition
Authors: Févotte Cédric
Published: August 2010

Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is a popular linear regression technique in the fields of machine learning and signal/image processing. Much research about this topic has been driven by applications in audio. NMF has been for example applied with success to automatic music transcription and audio source separation, where the data is usually taken as the magnitude spectrogram of the sound signal, and the Euclidean distance or Kullback-Leibler divergence are used as measures of fit between the original spectrogram and its approximate factorization. In this chapter the authorsgive evidence of the relevance of considering factorization of the power spectrogram, with the Itakura-Saito (IS) divergence. Indeed, IS-NMF is shown to be connected to maximum likelihood inference of variance parameters in a well-defined statistical model of superimposed Gaussian components and this model is in turn shown to be well suited to audio. Furthermore, the statistical setting opens doors to Bayesian approaches and to a variety of computational inference techniques. They discuss in particular model order selection strategies and Markov regularization of the activation matrix, to account for time-persistence in audio. This chapter also discusses extensions of NMF to the multichannel case, in both instantaneous or convolutive recordings, possibly underdetermined. The authors present in particular audio source separation results of a real stereo musical excerpt.
Efficient Face Retrieval Based on Bag of Facial Features
Authors: Du Yuanjia , Du Yuanjia , Shao Ling , Shao Ling , Archambeau P. , Erpicum S. , Pirotton M.
Published: August 2010

In this chapter, the authors present an efficient retrieval technique for human face images based on bag of facial features. A visual vocabulary is built beforehand using an invariant descriptor computed on detected image regions. The vocabulary is refined in two ways to make the retrieval system more efficient. Firstly, the visual vocabulary is minimized by only using facial features selected on face regions which are detected by an accurate face detector. Secondly, three criteria, namely Inverted-Occurrence-Frequency Weights, Average Feature Location Distance and Reliable Nearest-Neighbors, are calculated in advance to make the on-line retrieval procedure more efficient and precise. The proposed system is experimented on the Caltech Human Face Database. The results show that this technique is very effective and efficient on face image retrieval.
Using a Neural Network to Predict Participation in a Maternity Care Coordination Program
Authors: Heilman George E. , Cain Monica , Morton Russell S.
Published: August 2010

Researchers increasingly use Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) to predict outcomes across a broad range of applications. They frequently find the predictive power of ANNs to be as good as or better than conventional discrete choice models. This paper demonstrates the use of an ANN to model a consumer’s choice to participate in North Carolina’s Maternity Care Coordination (MCC) program, a state sponsored voluntary public health service initiative. Maternal and infant Medicaid claims data and birth certificate data were collected for 59,999 births in North Carolina during the years 2000-2002. Part of this sample was used to train and test an ANN that predicts voluntary enrollment in MCC. When tested against a hold-out production sample, the ANN model correctly predicted 99.69% of those choosing to participant and 100% of those choosing not to participant in the MCC program.
Can IT Act as a Catalyst for Change in Hospitals?
Authors: Paavola Teemu
Published: August 2010

This chapter presents a succesful reorganization of a patient care process that was carried out in a middle sized Finnish hospital. The reorganization of the patient care process for joint replacement surgery succeeded in achieving a 50 per cent increase in operations. This study proposes that IT may have an indirect influence on the achievement of goals, such as productivity, as soon as the IT investment has been decided upon; in other words, IT benefits start accruing before the IT component is even in place. This is a new feature to add to the previous definitions, because this particular benefit cannot be logically derived from any of the features of the actual IT system. Paying enough attention to this phenomen at the planning stage can be vital to the success of new IT system investment.
Student Modeling in an Intelligent Tutoring System
Authors: Feng Mingyu , Heffernan Neil , Koedinger Kenneth
Published: August 2010

Student modeling and cognitively diagnostic assessment are important issues that need to be addressed for the development and successful application of intelligent tutoring systems (its). Its needs the construction of complex models to represent the skills that students are using and their knowledge states, and practitioners want cognitively diagnostic information at a finer grained level. This chapter reviews our effort on modeling student’s knowledge in the ASSISTment project. Intelligent tutors have been mainly used to teach students. In the ASSISTment project, we have emphasized using the intelligent tutoring system as an assessment system that provides instructional assistance during the test. Usually it is believed that assessment get harder if students are allowed to learn during the test, as its then like try to hit a moving target. So our results are surprising that by providing tutoring to students while they are assessed we actually prove the assessment of students’ knowledge. Additionally, in this article, we present encouraging results about a fine-grained skill model with that system that is able to predict state test scores. We conclude that using intelligent tutoring systems to do assessment seems like a reasonable way of dealing with the dilemma that every minute spent testing students takes time away from instruction.
A Framework for ICT Security Policy Management
Authors: Venkatraman Sitalakshmi
Published: August 2010

Organisations around the world are increasingly relying on the potential of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for their business operations as well as competitiveness. Huge amounts of money and time are invested on ICT infrastructure as there exists a high level of business dependency on ICT. Hence, protecting the ICT resources using effective security policies is of utmost importance for the sustenance of organisations. With the recent exponential rise in ICT security threats witnessed worldwide, governments and businesses are trying to successfully develop ICT security policies for their internal and external operations. While ICT security best practices are quite similar globally, ICT security policy management is very much localised and specific to different business scenarios and applications. Moreover, ICT security policies in an organization keep evolving from time to time and more recently changes take place at a much faster pace. This situation warrants a pragmatic framework for the development and management of ICT security policies in an organisation. Much research has focused on formulating frameworks for ICT management in general and there is a paucity of guidelines in literature for ICT security policy management, in particular. This chapter explores ICT security management issues faced in different environments and proposes an integrated framework for managing ICT security policies in an iterative manner. The framework provides the flexibility and adaptability for different organisations to follow the guidelines effectively as it emphasises on policy alignment with business objectives. Since the framework underpins the continuous improvement philosophy, it caters to ICT security policy reform and implementations for the future as well.

A Descriptive Analysis of Contents of Asian E-Government Websites
Authors: Rorissa Abebe , Demissie Dawit , Gharawi Mohammed
Published: August 2010

Advances in information and communication technologies (ICTs) continue to drastically impact the activities of individuals, families, communities, businesses, governments, as well as other national and global entities. They often give rise to new institutions and systems such as electronic government (e-government). E-government improves the efficiency of governments’ services and facilitates government-to-citizen and other types of communications. Nowhere is the impact of ICTs and e-government more pronounced than in developing countries, such as those in Asia, a continent that is home to the largest democracy in the world (i.e., India), where an appropriate use of ICTs can enable them to become part of the global information society. There had been encouraging signs in Asia with respect to e-government adoption and implementation of relevant services. Asian countries provide e-government services, mainly through websites that range from static to fully fledged web portals. However, there is a lack of e-government literature that provides detailed analyses of contents of Asian e-government services. This chapter is intended to address this. In addition to describing Asian e-government services, it also provides recommendations with respect to future works, and identifies prospects for e-government services.
Recovery.gov
Authors: Foltz Franz , Pugliese Rudy , Ferber Paul
Published: August 2010

President Barak Obama’s directive on transparency and open government, and the creation of the Website Recovery.gov, would seem to be concrete examples of the predictions of cyber advocates that computer-mediated communication and the Internet will change the nature of democracy and make citizens more participatory. A major goal is to try to increase the public’s trust in their government. An examination of Recovery.gov, however, reveals it to be not very interactive and less than fully transparent. While it may be praised for providing information, it falls far short of the vision of cyber advocates. The state sites associated with Recovery.gov do a slightly better job by putting a personal face to the oversight of the recovery. Overall, the sites tend to provide only a limited view into the workings of the government and have a long way to go before they increase public trust in the government.
