Guidelines Towards Better Participation of Older Adults in Software Development Processes using a new SPIRAL Method and Participatory Approach
This paper presents a new method of engaging older participants in the
process of application and IT solutions development for older adults for
emerging IT and tech startups. A new method called SPIRAL (Support for
Participant Involvement in Rapid and Agile software development Labs) is
proposed which adds both sustainability and flexibility to the development
process with older adults. This method is based on the participatory approach
and user empowerment of older adults with the aid of a bootstrapped Living Lab
concept and it goes beyond well established user-centered and empathic design.
SPIRAL provides strategies for direct involvement of older participants in the
software development processes from the very early stage to support the agile
approach with rapid prototyping, in particular in new and emerging startup
environments with limited capabilities, including time, team and resources
A sustainable model for ICT capacity building in developing countries
System administrators are often asked to apply their professional expertise in unusual situations, or under tight resource constraints. What happens, though, when the âsituationâ is a foreign country with only basic technical infrastructure, and the task is to bauild systems which are able to survive and grow in these over-constrained environments?
In this paper we report on our experiences in two very different countries â Cuba and Ethiopia â where we ran a number of ICT projects. In those projects we assisted local universities to upgrade their ICT infrastructure and services. This included skills and process building for local system administrators.
Based on our experiences we formulate a model for sustainable ICT capacity building. We hope this model will be useful for other organizations doing similar projects
Towards evaluation design for smart city development
Smart city developments integrate digital, human, and physical systems in the built environment. With growing urbanization and widespread developments, identifying suitable evaluation methodologies is important. Case-study research across five UK cities - Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, Milton Keynes and Peterborough - revealed that city evaluation approaches were principally project-focused with city-level evaluation plans at early stages. Key challenges centred on selecting suitable evaluation methodologies to evidence urban value and outcomes, addressing city authority requirements. Recommendations for evaluation design draw on urban studies and measurement frameworks, capitalizing on big data opportunities and developing appropriate, valid, credible integrative approaches across projects, programmes and city-level developments
Bridging the Innovation Divide: An Agenda for Disseminating Technology Innovations within the Nonprofit Sector
Examines technology practices -- such as neighborhood information systems, electronic advocacy, Internet-based micro enterprise support, and digital inclusion initiatives -- that strengthen the capacity of nonprofits and community organizations
The Impact of ICT on Economic Sectors
As the author could not find a reassuring mathematical and statistical method in the literature for studying the effect of information communication technologyon enterprises, the author suggested a new research andanalysis method that he also used to study the Hungarian economic sectors. The question of what factors have an effecton their net income is vital for enterprises. The highest increment of specific Gross Value Added was produced by thefields of âManufacturingâ, âElectricity, gas and water supplyâ,âTransport, storage and communicationâ and âFinancialintermediationâ. With the exception of âElectricity, gas andwater supplyâ, the other economic sectors belong to the groupof underdeveloped branches (below 50%).On the other hand, âConstructionâ, âHealth and social workâandâHotels and restaurantsâ can be seen as laggards, so theygot into the lower left part of the coordinate system.âAgriculture, hunting and forestryâ can also be classified as alaggard economic sector, but as the effect of the compoundindicator on the increment of Gross Value Added was lesssignificant, it can be found in the upper left part of thecoordinate system. Drawing a trend line on the points, it can bemade clear that it shows a positive gradient, that is, the higherthe usage of ICT devices, the higher improvement can bedetected in the specific Gross Value Added
