Next Generation Enterprises (NGEs):
I am actively conducting industrial research on the business and technical aspects of NGEs. My main focus is on IT planning, integration, security and administration of NGEs and what type of decision support models and patterns are needed for such enterprises. Read more.
SPACE (Strategic Planning, Acquisition, Control and Education)
SPACE (Strategic Planning, Architecture/Acquisition, Control and Education) is a computer aided environment for eBusiness and eGovernment in global setting. Instead of focusing on one narrow area, SPACE covers the entire Learn-Plan-Do-Check for ICT (Information and Communication Technology) services that are at the core of eBusiness and eGovernment. Read more.
- Patterns Repository for Industry Sectors (PARIS) that capture the core knowledge needed by SPACE (almost 200 services in more than 12 sectors such as healthcare, education, public safety, public welfare, transportation, and others).
- Games and Simulations that support decisions in strategic analysis, mobile services planning, interagency integrations and health exchanges, application migration versus integration tradeoffs, risks and failure management, and quality assurance.
- Simple Planner (PISA) that can be used to quickly build real life business scenarios for small businesses and then guide the user through IT planning, integration, security and administration tasks by using best practices.
- Extensive Planner (ePlanner) that can be used for small to large scale government and the private sectors who need to strategically plan, architect, integrate, and manage the needed IT initiatives quickly and effectively by using the best practices.
- Specialized Initiatives and Tools that are built on top of the SPACE environment (i.e., they invoke many of the SPACE capabilities). Examples of these tools are the SPACE Lab (an online training center), an Entrepreneurship Portal, and several specialized advisors and tools to support the UN initiatives and other partnerships. More tools and initiatives are always being added to this layer.
United Nations ICT4SIDS Partnership (#8005)
The ICT4SIDS Partnership is using the latest developments in ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) to accelerate the adoption of UN SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) and the Samoa Pathway Declaration. The objective of the Global ICT4SIDS Center is to support smart hubs that provide inexpensive and highly specialized community services in health, education, public safety, public welfare and decision support. These hubs are designed to collaborate with each other across communities for rapid regional transformation and thus lead to rapid adoption of Samoa Pathway and SDGs. Read more.
