Politics were often turbulent in African countries in the period leading to their independence in the 1950s and beyond. But for Ugandans and the Colonial Administration alike this was a time of hope and optimism – though fears for the future of the ‘Westminister Model,’ nurtured so carefully by the Colonial Administration, were never absent. Already there were dark clouds of future tragedy over the neighboring Congo and Rwanda.

The TCGOV 2005 international conference on e-government was held at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano during March 2-4, 2005. The conference was initiated by the working group "Towards Electronic Democracy" (TED) of the European Science Foundation and was jointly organized by the Free University ofBozen-Bolzano,theMunicipalityofBozen-Bolzano,theTEDWorkingGroup, and the IFIP Working Group 8.5. The conference addressed a large spectrum of issues that are relevant and have to be investigated for a successful transition from the traditional form of government to a new form known as e-government. The main focus was on the following topics: – improving citizen participation and policy making (e-democracy) – government application integration – semantic Web technologies for e-government – security aspects for e-government services Two sessions were dedicated to e-democracy, an emerging area within- government that seeks to enhance democratic processes and provide increased opportunities for individuals and communities to be involved in governmental decisions.Thecontributionsofthesetwosessionscovermorefundamentalresults and insights as well as experiences from di?erent countries. Another focus was on government application integration and the use of – mantic Web technologies, which are important technical aspects on the agenda of e-government research. Di?erent architectures for the integration and orch- tration of distributed services and processes were presented along with two case studies. Three papers about Semantic Web technologies discussed the use of ontologies in e-government.

Free Download Towards a General Theory of Classifications By Daniel Parrochia, Pierre Neuville (auth.)
2013 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 3034806086 | PDF | 4 MB
This book is an essay on the epistemology of classifications. Its main purpose is not to provide an exposition of an actual mathematical theory of classifications, that is, a general theory which would be available to any kind of them: hierarchical or non-hierarchical, ordinary or fuzzy, overlapping or non-overlapping, finite or infinite, and so on, establishing a basis for all possible divisions of the real world. For the moment, such a theory remains nothing but a dream. Instead, the authors essentially put forward a number of key questions. Their aim is rather to reveal the "state of art" of this dynamic field and the philosophy one may eventually adopt to go further. To this end they present some advances made in the course of the last century, discuss a few tricky problems that remain to be solved, and show the avenues open to those who no longer wish to stay on the wrong track. Researchers and professionals interested in the epistemology and philosophy of science, library science, logic and set theory, order theory or cluster analysis will find this book a comprehensive, original and progressive introduction to the main questions in this field.

Free Download The Road towards 6G: Opportunities, Challenges, and Applications: A Comprehensive View of the Enabling Technologies by Valeria Loscri, Luca Chiaraviglio, Anna Maria Vegni
English | March 20, 2024 | ISBN: 3031425669 | 233 pages | MOBI | 6.75 Mb
The proposed book will provide a comprehensive picture of the journey from 5G networks towards 6G. Different aspects, ranging from theoretical foundations to existing platforms and technologies will be presented and analysed, by critically highlighting the real opportunities and the challenges. The first chapters are to describe the general "transitioning" aspects from 5G to 6G. After that, an overview on the different technologies is provided, to present at the end the security aspects, the new applications and an analysis of the electromagnetic exposure, above all in terms of comparative in respect of 5G. Security and Application will be straightforward better explained after the big picture on the different technologies is detailed in the previous chapters.

Free Download Peter Baofu, "The Future of Post-Human Morphology: Towards a New Theory of Typologies and Rules"
English | ISBN: 1628083980 | 2013 | 679 pages | PDF | 7 MB
This text offers an alternative way to understand the future of morphology, especially in the dialectic context of typologies and rules – while learning from different approaches in the literature but without favouring any one of them. More specifically, this book offers a new theory to go beyond the existing approaches in a novel way.

Free Download Günther Schlee, "How Enemies Are Made: Towards a Theory of Ethnic and Religious Conflict "
English | ISBN: 1845454944 | 2008 | 206 pages | PDF | 2 MB
In popular perception cultural differences or ethnic affiliation are factors that cause conflict or political fragmentation although this is not borne out by historical evidence. This book puts forward an alternative conflict theory. The author develops a decision theory which explains the conditions under which differing types of identification are preferred. Group identification is linked to competition for resources like water, territory, oil, political charges, or other advantages. Rivalry for resources can cause conflicts but it does not explain who takes whose side in a conflict situation. This book explores possibilities of reducing violent conflicts and ends with a case study, based on personal experience of the author, of conflict resolution.
