ICTer Theme
Emerging regions offer a wealth of opportunities in trade, technology and investment. The recent economic development in these regions has spurred them to seek a more important role in world affairs. This has been particularly evident in the field of Information and Communications Technology (ICT), where emerging regions have seen a very rapid growth. This growth is mirrored by the wealth of the increasing number of research publications produced.Unfortunately, much of this work has gone largely unnoticed by the world community. This is partially due to the fact that such notice requires publication in internationally reputed journals, and partially due to the fact that applicable researches in emerging regions get little or no global exposure.
The International Journal on Advances in ICT for Emerging Regions (ICTer) aims at solving this problem. It is a project initiated by University of Colombo School of Computing in collaboration with SPIDER (the Swedish Program for ICT in Developing Regions), IEEE computer society (Sri Lankan Chapter) and CSSL (The Computer Society of Sri Lanka) and intends to be an International journal that would give researchers in ICT related fields, particularly from emerging regions, the opportunity to disseminate knowledge through an international network to an international audience by way of an internationally acclaimed journal.
ICTer will expose its writers to prominent research institutions and funding organizations like SIDA, SPIDER etc.
