Innovative Applications of Information Technology for the Developing World: Proceedings of the 3rd Asian Applied Computing Conference (AACC 2005)

Information and communication technology (ICT) has become a generic and indispensable tool for addressing and solving problems in such diverse areas as management, social and health services, transportation, security and education. As the cost of equipment drops dramatically, it also becomes widely accessible in the developing countries. However, problems of high costs for adequate training of personnel, access to state-to-the-art software and the consultancies needed to facilitate access to ICT can constitute highly dissuasive factors in the dissemination of ICT in developing countries.Patnaik, Lalit Mohan is the author of 'Innovative Applications of Information Technology for the Developing World: Proceedings of the 3rd Asian Applied Computing Conference (AACC 2005)', published 2007 under ISBN 9781860948275 and ISBN 1860948278.
