“…China will face more severe global technological competition and challenges, especially due to the impact of Sino-US trade friction and technology decoupling; ICT service trade and industrial development will encounter more difficulties. However, China has the advantage of the world's super large-scale consumer market, and the ICT industry already has a strong foundation and the advantage of technological advancement [7]. Especially after the epidemic, a new infrastructure plan to accelerate the layout of a new generation of digital technology infrastructure will be conducive to grasp the strategic opportunities of the new round of information technology revolution.…”

Web Service Applications and Consumer Environments Based on ICT-Driven Optimization

Networking is the use of physical links to connect individual isolated workstations or hosts together to form data links for the purpose of resource sharing and communication. In the field of web service application and consumer environment optimization, it has been shown that the introduction of network embedding methods can effectively alleviate the problems such as data sparsity in the recommendation process. However, existing network embedding methods mostly target a specific structure of network and do not collaborate with multiple relational networks from the root. Therefore, this paper proposes a service recommendation model based on the hybrid embedding of multiple networks and designs a multinetwork hybrid embedding recommendation algorithm. First, the user social relationship network and the user service heterogeneous information network are constructed; then, the embedding vectors of users and services in the same vector space are obtained through multinetwork hybrid embedding learning; finally, the representation vectors of users and services are applied to recommend services to target users. To verify the effectiveness of this paper’s method, a comparative analysis is conducted with a variety of representative service recommendation methods on three publicly available datasets, and the experimental results demonstrate that this paper’s multinetwork hybrid embedding method can effectively collaborate with multirelationship networks to improve service recommendation quality, in terms of recommendation efficiency and accuracy.

“…Smartphones, cameras or drones using GPS systems are useful tools for land mapping. 177 Rwanda's Land Tenure Regularisation program (2009-13), for example, used satellite data to create a digital land registry which improved land tenure security, particularly for women. 178 Weather information is also crucial to planning decisions, and digital weather technologies and prediction models make faster and more accurate forecasts available.…”

This monograph summarizes five years of research and policy analysis. Between 2017 and 2020, the reports were produced by the Secretariat of the Malabo Montpellier Panel at its facilitating institutions, namely Katrin Glatzel and Mahamadou Tankari (both AKADEMIYA2063), and by Meera Shah and Sarah Lewis, as well as Kathrin Demmler (2018/19) and Samira Choudhoury (2020) (all Imperial College London). The reports were produced under the guidance of the co-Chairs of the Panel, Ousmane Badiane and Joachim von Braun. We would like to acknowledge the invaluable support, expertise and direction provided by all 17 members of the Malabo Montpellier Panel. We would also like to thank the technical and country experts that have contributed with important insights to the production of the country analyses. We would like to thank Caspar van Vark for his support in the production of this report. It was designed by Tidiane Oumar Ba AKADEMIYA2063.

“…To complement fndings from earlier research with contextual information, an observational study analysing YouTube video content was conducted. This method seemed promising as it was successfully used in research on smartphone accessibility with people with disabilities [1] and IVIIS can access YouTube through NGO led projects [13]. Terms (phone, visual impairment and informal settlements) and their synonyms were combined to select and review 138 videos (2010 to 2020) featuring IVIIS' environment and phone use, of which 34 relevant videos were analysed (252 minutes) using Braun and Clark's six phased inductive thematic analysis [6] where four themes emerged.…”

Individuals with visual impairments in informal settlements (IVIIS) depend highly on others for access to basic services. Smartphones can help provide assistive technology and access to basic services but are too expensive for IVIIS or lack accessibility features. This study explores and promotes a low-cost concept that uses a static interface overlay app in conjunction with a button enabled phone case, to enable the use of cheap smartphones and increase IVIIS autonomy and inclusion in society. Using existing research and an observational study of YouTube videos, design requirements were determined. A low-fdelity prototype was developed and usertested on one visually impaired and two blindfolded participants. Although usertests showed promising results, research and usertesting were limited. Future research and usertests with IVIIS are needed to validate if CaseGuide is a desirable solution for IVIIS.CCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → Accessibility technologies.
