“…The year 2003 was chosen as the starting point since the United Republic of Tanzania began encouraging the use of FOSS in various areas. The search strategy for the articles to be included adopted steps proposed by Namayala et al [3], and the quality of included articles was determined by the recommendations posed by Page et al [65], Critical Appraisal Skills Programme [66], and Shea et al [67]. See Table 2 for the contextualized search strings.…”

“…Several scholars support the argument that Free and open-source software (FOSS) applications have a low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) when compared with their counterparts' proprietary software [1][2][3][4][5]. As a result, their popularity has grown in multiple developing-country industries, including education, because they may bridge the digital divide gap caused by a lack of funds [5].…”

Free and open-source software (FOSS) are viable alternatives to pricey proprietary software due to their low total cost of ownership (TCO). They are predicted to have a bright future because of their advanced technologies in service delivery. Despite the availability of FOSS adoption studies, public discourse as well as information and communication technology (ICT) policies, FOSS applications are inadequately adopted in Tanzanian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) due to lack of institutionalization. This finding poses a need for examining the institutionalization status. Institutionalization occurs when FOSS adoption and use becomes a standard practice. This study analyses the institutionalization of FOSS adoption by examining the national and selected universities’ ICT policies and observing the evolution of public discourse towards FOSS by examining multiple articles. The study adopted a systematic literature review and was guided by an analytical framework that triangulated new institutional theory, the underlying concept of organizing vision, and rhetorical diffusion theory. The findings show that, although there are sporadic use of FOSS in some Tanzanian HEIs, FOSS adoption is generally not institutionalized. As a result, the study recommends adjustments in preparation of ICT policies, making adoption of FOSS part of organizational strategic plans for them to enjoy decision-makers’ support.

“…Risks and challenges must be envisaged in the early stages of product development [19][20][21]. Actual user satisfaction feedback at the beginning of product testing is also crucial [22,23]. Product interactions take the product interface as an example: the age-appropriate interface design needs to confirm the final interface elements, such as font, spacing, and layout, through the usage habits and physiological data of elderly users [24,25].…”

Elderly users are unable to adapt to the technological dividend brought by the internet of everything as soon as possible due to the deterioration in cognitive and perceptual functions, especially in the state of development of modern intelligent homes whose users’ practical operational capabilities cannot be matched. This situation creates a digital divide in which older users also need helpmate intelligent home systems. Current research on innovative home systems often lacks a focus on the elderly and a matching mapping between smart homes and operational capabilities. Therefore, this study proposes a theoretical approach and model based on the matching between smart home functions and older users’ abilities. This modelling path provides specific guidance for actual smart home design practices. This study outlines the methodology, theoretical derivation, and construction of the user capability gradient for matching functions and requirements of elderly users. Based on a theoretical model, experimental data, and threshold law in practical application, the age-appropriate intelligent home control system is developed independently, and the integrated development of hardware and software cloud synergy is realised for the user pain points of elderly users to make up for the gap at this research level.
