Full textAbstract:
Purpose Cities have recognised information and communication technology (ICT) as a major enabler for transforming into “smarter” service providers. Mauritius is considering embarking on a smart island initiative, and as such, the existing towns in Mauritius have a major role to play in the transformation process. This study aims to focus on a systematic analysis of ICT architectures. This study proposes recommendations with regard to ICT infrastructures. This study elicits the contribution of those services towards the overall transformation of the towns, which in turn will form an integral part of the smart island initiative of the country. Design/methodology/approach A first step towards developing a smart ICT architecture is to understand what a smart ICT architecture constitutes of and the frameworks that can be used to develop these architectures. The main objectives of this systematic literature review (SLR) are as follows: understand what a smart ICT architecture consists of and derive a definition that will be used throughout the research for the development of ICT architecture for the smart local councils for Mauritius; analyse various frameworks, architectures and models that have been used in existing literature for the development of smart ICT architectures. Findings This SLR was conducted with a view to investigate ICT architectures with respect to smart governance. An in-depth review, followed by a critical analysis was performed based on the research questions set. The contribution of this study include the formulation of a definition for ICT architecture for smart local councils, which can be applied to any sphere characterised by similar aspects with reference to smart local governance. Albeit existing frameworks such as The Open Group Architecture Framework, Federal Enterprise Architecture and Zachman Framework, it was observed that in most cases, ICT architectures were built from scratch potentially because of specificities of each country/city. Originality/value This work proposes ICT architectures for smart local council.

Full textAbstract:
The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in industries have brought a significant increase in productivity and reliability of the systems, especially in Electronic-Governance. Meanwhile, the governmental organizations try to automate and accelerate the services for the citizens using ICT. The Event-Driven architecture has brought new essences of service automation empowered by Complex Event Processing (CEP) engines. In this architectural design approach, we proposed a novel Event-Driven architecture supported by integrated service bus to provide diverse system integration for the heterogeneous data of multiple types of organizations. The system is automated using CEP engine which is taking the data from different modules for analysis. The architecture evaluation shows that our model is comprised of the characteristics needed for a noble architectural model.

Full textAbstract:
The rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in consumer markets has led to the need for extensive research into its impact on consumer behavior, particularly in how it exploits cognitive biases. This raises ethical questions and highlights the need to balance such influences with AI systems that help consumers, not manipulate them. The development and implementation of an intelligent financial management system, which not only automates financial processes, but also integrates AI-driven tools to support better financial decision-making, contributes to solving these problems. The work contains a description of the development of the architecture of an intelligent financial management system, which is aimed at solving problems related to financial illiteracy, the complexity of financial markets, and the impact of cognitive biases on financial decision-making. The system provides for the use of modern technologies of artificial intelligence and machine learning to automate financial processes and provide users with personalized recommendations. The development of a system based on microservice architecture requires the use of certain architectural patterns that ensure efficiency, reliability and scalability, so the work was based on a critical analysis of modern architectural paradigms, such as microservice architecture and Event-Driven Architecture. The implementation of AI supports ethical guidelines that prioritize transparency, fairness and consumer autonomy, i.e. ensure that the AI system is free from bias, actions can be easily interpreted by users. The methodology of this research is based on an interdisciplinary approach that combines the analysis of architectural solutions, methods of machine learning and artificial intelligence with methods of ensuring the reliability and scalability of software systems.

Full textAbstract:
In an agricultural nation like Indonesia, where villages are one of the key regions for economic growth, Jatisura Village in the Cikedung district of Indramayu has the potential to grow into a smart village. This is because Rosalia Food MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) that have sold their products to the Asian level and reputable communities like Situ Bolang as a tourist attraction both have potential in Jatisura village. Realizing smart village development is a program that requires cooperation from all parties since it is in line with the government's priority program, which is to construct Indonesia from the periphery to minimize the inequity between cities and rural areas. Therefore, a model of architecture that aligns with information technology architecture is required to implement the construction of smart villages. This study intended to build an architecture that aligns with information technology to facilitate the implementation of smart villages based on information and communication technology in Jatisura village, Indonesia's Indramayu regency. To promote digital inclusion and more excellent employment prospects, this study focuses on smart village architecture and methods leveraging ICT initiatives. The TOGAF framework was the foundation architectural concept used. The framework generated business and organizational architecture models, information system and technological architectures, and migration, implementation, and change management architectures. All these architectural models help carry out the process of constructing a smart village, enabling it to do so in a way that effectively carries out the vision and mission of the regency.

Full textAbstract:
Smart grid software interconnects multiple Engineering disciplines (power systems, communication, software and hardware technology, instrumentation, big data, etc.). The software architecture is an evolving concept in smart grid systems, in which system architecture development is a challenging process. The architecture has to realize the complex legacy power grid systems and cope with current Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The distributed generation in a smart grid environment expects the software architecture to be distributed and to enable local control. Smart grid architecture should also be modular, flexible, and adaptable to technology upgrades. In this paper, the authors have made a comprehensive review of architectures for smart grids. An in depth analysis of layered and agent-based architectures based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) conceptual model is presented. Also presented is a set of smart grid Reference Architectures dealing with cross domain technology.

The Internet of Things (IoT) rapidly evolves, presenting challenges and opportunities. This study emphasises the critical role of software in advancing IoT technologies, focusing on machine learning (ML), fog computing, and process optimisation for security and resiliency. ML is pivotal in IoT for predicting equipment failures, evaluating process efficiency, and enabling informed decision- making through real-time data analysis. By integrating ML models directly into IoT devices (edge computing), latency is reduced, and data transmission needs are minimised. Fog computing and cloud computing address latency issues by moving computational resources closer to IoT devices, enhancing scalability and optimising network resource usage. Security remains a paramount concern due to the increasing number of connected devices and their vulnerabilities. IoT software must balance efficiency, security, and performance, employing deep learning for anomaly detection, blockchain for data transparency, and optimised encryption protocols. The trend towards distributed architectures like Edge Computing enhances system resilience by reducing latency and increasing fault tolerance. The proposed IoT system architecture is a three-tier structure consisting of Edge, Fog, and Cloud levels. At the Edge level, initial data processing occurs directly on IoT devices, reducing latency and network load. The Fog level processes data within the local network, utilising more powerful computational resources for complex tasks and ensuring security through advanced machine learning and encryption. The Cloud level serves as a central repository for long-term storage and global data analysis, leveraging containerisation and orchestration technologies for scalability and reliability. This multi-layered architecture ensures efficient data processing, high security, and adaptability, making it suitable for real-time applications. The study highlights the importance of software in optimising data processing across these levels, ensuring the IoT system’s resilience, scalability, and long-term sustainability.

Finding ways to downscale microfinance is one of the current challenges facing commercial banks, especially in developing countries. As banks have a poor knowledge of microfinance, operating in this market will require capacity-building, innovative business models and new technological architectures. This paper discusses how one particular architecture – the Brazilian model of correspondent banking (CB) – is helping banks cope with these challenges. Since the model was created, in 2000, it has allowed banks to downscale financial services outside their traditional branches and establish successful partnerships with local microfinance institutions (MFIs). The authors focus on one particular case involving a partnership between an accredited MFI (Banco Palmas) and two major banks (Banco do Brasil e Caixa Econômica Federal), to make the argument that the Brazilian CB model represents an innovation at the “meso level”, defined by Helms (2006) as the infrastructure comprising a network of service providers necessary to the operation of MFIs.

The paper summarizes the analysis of data on european architecture schools, collected in the eCAADe-conferences during the 1990s. Computer-Aided Design has developed into architectural information and communication technology (ICT), to become commonplace in architectural education. However, the general held views on new media use in the schools seems to be slightly optimistic. On the other hand, the invisible more common ICT use (writing, surfing, emailing) accounts for a lot more of the volume of activity than generally appreciated. The major hardware platform in european architecture schools is PC/Windows (90–95%) with Linux and Unix commonly used in servers (25–35%). Macintoshes are also widely used (50–55%). MS Office (90–95%) and PhotoShop (85–90%), are used widely in the schools. The Graphic and DTP tools PageMaker, QuarkXpress, Illustrator, Freehand are also common (30–50%). AutoCAD is the market leader in CAD platforms (80–90%), followed by ArchiCAD. MicroStation/Bentley also has a significant presence in the schools (35–40%). 3DStudio is the most common 3D-modelling tool (80–85%), followed by formZ (35–40%). Less common (15–25%) are Rhino, Maya, Alias, Lightscape and Radiance.

Full textAbstract:
A coherent description of enterprise architecture provides insight, enables communication among stakeholders and guides complicated change processes. Unfortunately, so far no enterprise architecture description language exists that fully enables integrated enterprise modeling, because for each architectural domain, architects use their own modeling techniques and concepts, tool support, visualization techniques, etc. In this paper, we outline such an integrated language and we identify and study concepts that relate architectural domains. In our language, concepts for describing the relationships between architecture descriptions at the business, application, and technology levels play a central role, related to the ubiquitous problem of business-ICT alignment, whereas for each architectural domain we conform to existing languages or standards such as UML. In particular, usage of services offered by one layer to another plays an important role in relating the behaviour aspects of the layers. The structural aspects of the layers are linked through the interface concept, and the information aspects through realization relations.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine current practice in blended learning – notably the view of blended learning as a synthesis of different approaches to the delivery of learning in order to create high impact learning. Design/methodology/approach – An exploration of the development of blended learning over the years, especially how it is being affected by developments in learning delivery technology and learning design. Findings – Learning architecture and design ought to be enhanced by the thoughtful use of various new tools, strategies and delivery platforms working in harmony. Only then can the learning process finally become highly attractive for new generations of learners. Research limitations/implications – New trends driving virtual learning prescribe the use of a portfolio of new tools. This, therefore, is producing changes in e-learning architecture, including the need for multi-device learning solutions, along with the need to implement multimedia formats in producing virtual learning solutions. Simultaneously, for educators, there have been changes in learning solutions' design based on the emergence of the self-determined and autonomous learner, as described by the concept of heutagogy. Practical implications – The complexities of creating an appropriate blend along with the most effective learning solutions for each learner – including the use of mobile platforms and social learning – have never been more challenging. Originality/value – Customising learning is in its early stages but, with the advent of new delivery technology and the growth of self-determined learners, it will become unavoidable.

Knowledge workers collaborate in teams, networks and communities in order to accomplish knowledge processes. They have to be supported with adequate organizational as well as information and communication technological (ICT) infrastructures. From an ICT perspective, requirements have changed when compared to more traditional (office) work due to the considerably higher complexity of data, the focus on communication across the boundaries of corporate ICT infrastructures and the mobility of knowledge workers. This requires the systematic handling of context and substantially extended functionality for collaboration in the knowledge workers' personal workspaces. In this paper, we outline typical knowledge processes and discuss ICT support for the personal management of information, of web content, of collaboration and of knowledge. We present Infotop, a tool that supports the creation and management of shared-context information workspaces and organizes knowledge resources in a peer-to-peer (p2p) architecture. We show how Infotop can be used to support typical knowledge work processes and discuss its dimensions, its user interface, its shared context workspaces, its architecture, and some thoughts on a prototype implementation currently under development.

Full textAbstract:
The article discusses the functionality and key requirements for a web application for reading and publishing amateur literary works. Against the backdrop of current changes in the book industry caused by the development of technology and the emergence of self-publishing, the need to create platforms that provide authors with the opportunity to publish content independently is emphasized. One of the main problems that authors face when publishing is the loss of the original formatting of their works when transferring them to text editors on web platforms. This paper proposes a solution to this problem by developing a web application with the function of importing the content of text files while preserving their original formatting. The article also contains a comparative analysis of popular web-based platforms for publishing works, such as Archive of Our Own, Wattpad, and Arkush, which helped to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each of them. In particular, the difficulties associated with storing and processing unstructured data, such as images and text files, were investigated. To solve the problem of storing such data, a comparative analysis of three approaches was conducted: storing data in relational databases, local file systems, and cloud storage. Taking into account the results of this analysis, the web application under development was chosen to integrate with the Amazon Web Services cloud provider and use Amazon S3 cloud storage, which provides scalability, reliability, and convenience in managing large amounts of unstructured data. It was also decided to use the Amazon CloudFront CDN service to improve the speed of data access and increase overall system performance. In addition, the article describes the choice of a technology stack for implementing the web application, which includes Java, Spring Framework, MySQL, ORM Hibernate for the server side and HTML, CSS, React.js for the client side. The article highlights important aspects of designing a web application architecture aimed at scalability and resilience to large amounts of data and an increase in the number of active users, and provides a basis for further system improvement.

The specific demands of supply chains built upon large and complex IoT systems, make it a must to design a coordinated framework for cyber resilience provisioning, intended to guarantee trusted supply chains of ICT systems, built upon distributed, dynamic, potentially insecure, and heterogeneous ICT infrastructures. As such, the solution proposed in this paper is envisioned to deal with the whole supply chain system components, from the IoT ecosystem to the infrastructure connecting them, addressing security and privacy functionalities related to risks and vulnerabilities management, accountability, and mitigation strategies, as well as security metrics and evidence-based security assurance. In this paper, we present FISHY as a preliminary architecture that is designed to orchestrate existing and beyond state-of-the-art security appliances in composed ICT scenarios. To this end, the FISHY architecture leverages the capabilities of programmable networks and IT infrastructure through seamless orchestration and instantiation of novel security services, both in real-time and proactively. The paper also includes a thorough business analysis to go far beyond the technical benefits of a potential FISHY adoption, as well as three real-world use cases highlighting the envisioned benefits of a potential FISHY adoption.

Information and communication technology (ICT) has become an essential aspect of modern life. Everybody has to deal with ICT, especially for work. In Asia, ICT skills involve five main aspects: software development, ICT project management, enterprise architecture design, network and system administration, and information system and network security. Every year Indonesia sends workers to Singapore. In contrast, most of those workers are skilled workers for the household which their job responsibilities are taking care of the house, babysitting, taking care of the elderly and drivers. However, some of them have ICT skills, and some others do not have them. Therefore, Universitas Negeri Jakarta conducted a webinar on "the success key of digital technology utilization" to enhance the Indonesia Worker's comprehension of ICT literacy, which was participated by 210 Indonesian workers in Singapore. The webinar was divided into three parts, pre-test, speaker presentation, and post-test. The results showed that there was an increment of participant comprehension on ICT literacy after the webinar.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, we have proposed a generalized large-scale optical cross-connect (OXC) architecture utilizing waveband selective switches (WBSS) for realizing future cost-effective, bandwidth-abundant and flexible optical networks. The developed architecture implements multiple WBSSs for each incoming fiber and small size wavelength selective switches (WSSs) for dropping optical paths while simply deploying 1´2 WSSs or 1´2 optical couplers for realizing the adding function. Thanks to the use of WBSSs, which are more cost-effective and simpler devices, the developed architecture enables a significant hardware scale reduction. The WBSS-based OXC, however, suffers from a limited routing capability, which relies on the inner node parameter (i.e., the WBSS number per input fiber) and the waveband granularity of WBSSs. We, therefore, evaluate the hardware scale requirement of our developed architecture in comparison with that of conventional WSS-based OXC. It is verified that a substantial hardware scale reduction can be achieved by using the proposed architecture, especially for high port count OXCs or when applying coarser granular WBSSs. Moreover, we also assess the performance of dynamic optical networks based on the proposed OXC. Numerical simulations show that the network offers a substantial necessary hardware scale reduction at the cost of a small performance offset comparing to that of the network using conventional WSS-based OXC.

Full textAbstract:
Information and communication technology (ICT) is one of the important factors that support construction project performance. Various studies have concluded that by aligning the ICT utilization with organizational ICT infrastructure, better performance outcomes can be achieved from the project to organization level. A positive connection between utilization of ICT and project performance has been established. However, the effects of ICT utilization strategy alignment with the organizational ICT infrastructure on construction project performance have not been investigated. This research evaluates and analyzes the importance of organizational ICT infrastructure to improve ICT utilization not just at the project level but also at the level of construction organizations. The main objective of this research is to investigate whether the effect of ICT utilization on project performance may be restricted and affected by its alignment with the ICT infrastructure level in the organization. The analyses of ICT infrastructure, ICT usage, and their associations with project performance are based on case studies of projects and organizations from the New Zealand construction sector. A method of evaluating ICT utilization and ICT infrastructure is proposed. This allows for further detailed examination of the strategic alignment between ICT utilization and organizational infrastructure. The effects of this strategic alignment on project performance are discussed and recommendations for the optimal strategic utilization are provided.

The products and services we utilize and enjoy are evidence of the usefulness of this advancement in science and technology. It is worthy of note that the interest of many (both good and bad in the discipline of ICT), is being ignited by the fact that ICT finds its applicability virtually in every area of human endeavor. In this study, we propose a two tier database architecture that employs an Object-Oriented Analysis Design Methodology (OOADM) using the Unified Modelling Language (UML). The choice of this methodology is because we need to present every stage of the study from analysis to the design phases. With the help of the chosen methodology, we analyzed the existing frameworks, identified the weaknesses, and as a result, we further surveyed algorithms used for reliable data security. From the results obtained from the survey, we employed the SHA-256 algorithm because of its strength in data security, and the Argon2 hashing algorithm which is one of the best algorithms for securing database credentials. In the end, we provide an enhanced framework made up of the chosen algorithms and a two-dimensional database (2-DDb), which could be implemented to effectively combat attacks on important databases.

 There is a continuous struggle on understanding learning settings, particularly with ICT integrations (i.e. incorporate the use of ICT in teaching and learning practice and environment). This paper aims to illuminate an alternative means of understanding virtual learning environment which is through affordances (perception-action coupling). Qualitative inquiry implemented in gathering participants’ experiences and perceptions regarding ICT integration in teaching practices through focus group discussion and semi-structured interviews. This study shows that preferences of ICT integration in a learning environment closely related to ICT affordances. Understanding of ICT affordances is indispensable in order to assessing conduciveness of learning environments with the ICT integrations.

Abstract The purpose of this article is to examine how modern techniques of measurement and visual representation using ICT can aid in the assessment and preservation of wooden architectural landmarks in open-air (folk-life) museums. By developing a general understanding of vernacular architecture, experts can more effectively plan for maintenance and large-scale interventions to protect these structures. Specifically, the article focuses on the use of photogrammetry to assess and diagnose roof coverings, which are a crucial component of vernacular architecture. Roof coverings not only impact the aesthetic of a building but also play a significant role in its function. As they often reflect local customs and beliefs, they are essential to a community's cultural identity and sense of belonging. Measuring roof coverings in vernacular architecture sites can be challenging due to the availability of materials like thatch, clay tiles, or wooden shingles, and the negative impact that a degraded roof can have on the overall state of a building.

Full textAbstract:

 Elder people often feel pushed to the margins by the generational shift and suffer from loss of identity and hence they lose motivation, recognition and self-esteem: they are often considered to be no longer capable of performing any service. This paper proposes an ICT network architecture oriented to improve the quality of life of elderly people and their caregivers focused on the user need satisfaction and reducing negative feelings like insecurity, vulnerability, loneliness and depression. This Virtual Village Network architecture is organized on 3 levels: 1. the Virtual Service Centre (VSC) that, through a proper home interface, carries out the support, the monitoring, the prevention and the social facilitation; 2. the Intelligent Domotic Health Networks (DHN) a domotic modular network with high local evaluation ability through which the VSC can monitor the home and/or the user’s state of wellness and of health ; 3. the Dynamical Village Network (DVN) that is an ICT network of users. The idea is to build an ICT network of “virtual social neighbours” facilitating user relationships, able to have positive influences on the interactive abilities and self-image of the elderly, and to prevent or overcome solitude, isolation and their negative effects on the elderly person’s overall quality of life and health. The whole architecture is pervaded by strict attention paid to security and privacy.

Abstract In a paper an application of the architecture evaluation method used for prediction the effects of incidents for information security which is inside of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) system is described. As a base, the ATAM method is taken. During the analysis there is shown, that direct use of the ATAM technique is impossible, because it use only one set of data. Use just one view of ICT system is not adequate for measure the influence of incident on information security, which is inside ICT system. A tool which is useful for assessment effects of incidents, is an incidence matrix that presents logical connections between elements of ICT system. Knowledge of logical connections and structures of the messages being exchanged enables an assessment of operation the elements which receive modified messages.

Design changes due to lack of constructability, cost overruns, delays and dissatisfied clients are but a few of the problems experienced in construction on the account of the poor management of the design processes. This research was conducted to determine the adequacy of design management processes used by Eastern Cape (EC) architectural practices and compare these with the design management processes used in manufacturing in order to establish practices, theories, principles, technologies and deliverables that can be transferred from the manufacturing into the construction industry to improve efficiency of architectural design management. A questionnaire was designed to acquire primary, factual and attitudinal data from EC architectural practices while secondary data were acquired through a literature review. The main findings were that design management processes, continuous improvement philosophies, lean principles, and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) used by EC architectural practices are not similar to those used in manufacturing. Therefore EC architectural practices could increase their efficiency by adopting some of the design management processes, ICT, continuous improvement philosophies and lean principles originating from the manufacturing industry.

In developing countries such as Haiti, which are marked by high unemployment and gender inequality, online education has the potential to change lives. Returns on education are particularly high in Information Communications Technology (ICT)-intensive jobs and IT outsourcing offers opportunities for remote employment, providing alternatives for economic diversification and job creation that are particularly relevant for youth and women. However, the problem faced by many developing countries, is that traditional models, frameworks, architectures, and platforms for online learning do not lend themselves well to their context and, therefore, it is important to develop context-specific platforms. This need for suitable platforms has motivated the research question that this paper seeks to address, that is: What is the appropriate architecture that supports learning strategies for delivering scalable digital skills training in a resource-constrained environment? We propose an architecture that was developed specifically for blended learning in resource-constrained environments and describe how a prototype for this was designed, built, and deployed in Haiti. The initial responses to the application of the architecture, including the testimonials of the participants and the interest expressed by other countries of the region in adopting the proposed architecture, have been extremely positive.
