Geographic Information System-based integrated road crash data system
Geographic Information System-based integrated road crash data system can be used for mitigating road safety problems. The crash data system in Kenya has mainly been paper-based with no location referencing. The paper-based crash data system, in itself has presented a number of problems, leading to inaccurate, incomplete and inconsistent decisions being arrived at. The result has been the continued increase in the number of road crashes reported annually, making Kenya rank among the countries reporting high road crashes around the world.

Transaction-Oriented Simulation In Ad Hoc Grids
Computer Simulation is an important area of Computer Science that is used in many other research areas like for instance engineering, military, biology and climate research. But the growing demand for more and more complex simulations can lead to long runtimes even on modern computer systems. Performing complex Computer Simulations in parallel, distributed across several processors or computing nodes within a network has proven to reduce the runtime of such complex simulations.

National Strategic Framework on eGovernance Projects in Nepal
For developing countries, the global explosion of knowledge contains opportunities along with challenges. For example, poorer countries can appropriate and adapt the knowledge available for free or at very low cost. There is no need to re-invent the wheel or re-create existing knowledge and waste time, effort and money in the process. With communication costs dropping, transferring knowledge is cheaper than ever. So there now exists a unique opportunity for developing countries to tap the vast resources of the global information networks to propel them to greater wealth and prosperity and leap over knowledge gaps that have accumulated over centuries. But, developing countries can take advantage of the large stock of global knowledge only if they develop the technological competence to grab it.
