Innovations for Digital Inclusion |
|
ITU-T Kaleidoscope event, Mar del Plata, Argentina, 31 Aug - 1 Sep 2009 |
|
Innovations for Digital Inclusion is the second in a series of peer-reviewed
academic conferences that aims at increasing the dialogue between experts
working on the standardization of information and communications
technologies (ICT) and academia. By viewing technologies through a
“Kaleidoscope”, these forward looking events also seek to identify new
topics for standardization.
Kaleidoscope-2009 analyzed technologies, services and applications five
years and beyond that will capitalize on NGN infrastructure and promote
digital inclusion. The event covered multidisciplinary aspects, including
regulatory and societal challenges as well as analysis of standardization
needed.
Innovative technologies will help bring the benefits of ICTs to all segments
of the population, in particular those in underserved communities and
developing countries. The event promoted research that supports innovation
in ICTs toward universal, sustainable, ubiquitous and affordable access by
all. A prize fund totalling $10,000 was awarded to the four best papers,
please see below.
