Abstract

Information and communication technologies (ICT) offer innovative formats for promoting healthy lifestyles and reinforcing public health initiatives. They can be applied to large population segments without losing the functionality of being tailored to individual fluctuating needs. Advantages of ICT include real-time provision and adaptation of nutrition and health recommendations based on an individual's particular situation, the potential to combine assessment procedures with healthy lifestyle support and the ability to unify psychosocial and cultural dimensions to enhance adherence. Two pilot programs are presented that show the potential for applying ICT to the promotion of healthy eating and physical activity habits. more...

Abstract

X party material flow (XPMF) is a new type of material flow (MF) under the emerging new information technology. Based on the theory of MF, this paper analyses the recent research progress that was made in XPMF from the angle of bio-evolution complexity including factor type primitive reconstruction driving type XPMF, enterprise primitive fractal synergetic type XPMF, adapting primitive swarm intelligence XPMF. Such progress has enriched and systematized the research of XPMF theory.

7. From here to there in information technology: the complexities of innovation

Author

Keller, Kenneth H.

Subjects
Technology and civilization -- Research, Information technology -- Psychological aspects, Information technology -- Innovations, Information technology, Psychology and mental health, Social sciences
Abstract

The pathways of development and innovation in information technology involve interactions among a number of sciences and technologies and the social, political, and economic milieu in which they find themselves. No single factor will decisively determine the direction, the success or failure, or the competitiveness of one country relative to others, which makes grand strategies for specific technological development and innovation notoriously unreliable. Therefore, although growing technical capacity in developing countries helps their economic growth, the world is not quite flat. In fact, information technology may exacerbate national differences, rather than lead to international homogenization, and technological developments in general may be differentially affected by a nation's traditional regulatory and legal institutions. All of these issues reinforce the need to approach modern technological development and innovation as a systems problem with technical and social dimensions, not reducible to a separate consideration of its technical, government, and sociological parts. Keywords: Technology; innovation; complexity; systems approach more...

10. 'Omega is a four-letter word': toward a tension-centered model of resistance to information and communication technologies

Author

Subjects

Abstract

The adoption of enterprise-wide information and communication technologies (ICTs) has become a growing trend in a wide range of industries. Resistance has been identified as one of the most common reasons for unsuccessful implementations. Assuming technologies as fixed objects, many existing theories tend to reduce resistance to psychological mechanisms or structural misalignment. The purpose of this study is to retheorize resistance to ICTs by integrating a social constructionist perspective of technology and a framework of organizational tensions. By employing qualitative methods, a case study examined the adoption, implementation and use of an enterprisewide software system in a technology service organization. The in-depth case analysis revealed a tension-centered process model, which shows that resistance to ICTs is constituted in a dynamic, reflexive interplay between the ongoing construction of ICTs and organizational tensions. In this process, an ICT adoption brings into play various organizational tensions, which then shape the interpretations of the ICT in oppositional terms, and reactions to these tensions and oppositional interpretations result in various forms of resistance behaviors. This tension-centered process model offers a useful alternative to existing research on resistance to ICTs in the workplace.

Abstract

With the maturation of new telecommunication technologies, the industrial enterprises wants to integrate the advances to activate on site interventions of experts and then reduce the machines inactivity time. We propose a hardware and software solution allowing us to make a cooperative tele-maintenance: the maintenance staff can do the work remotely and also in collaboration with other experts (Cooperative Work). We emphasize network aspects (heterogeneity, dynamism) and cooperating members mobility for maintenance action achievement. The system we propose allows us to increase availability, mobility, yield and quality and to reduce the costs of equipment failures. In this paper, we show how computer innovative technologies and industrial maintenance techniques combination can offer new uses.

Abstract

While emerging information technology (IT) is hastening the paradigm shift from an industrial society to an information society and providing all nations of the world with numerous potential benefits, effective utilization of these benefits will differ greatly depending on the nation, particularly on their institutional elasticity. This can be attributed to the specific features of IT. Since IT performs its function in connection with institutional systems unlike technology in general, its specific features can be formed through dynamic interaction with an institutional system. Considering the unique features of IT formed through such dynamic interaction, this paper focuses on an analysis of the epidemic behavior of IT and attempts to identify specific features of IT in light of interaction with institutions.

Peer-to-peer (P2P) networking technology, which has caused much controversy between Napster and the recording industry, is the focus of increasing attention by chief information officers (CIO). Essentially, P2P is a decentralized approach that lets every server and workstation on a network function as a server to all other users. Information and resources, such as applications, files and storage devices, can be shared, enabling efficient collaborations. An industry exec says P2P represents the dawn of a new networking era. more...
