What is Smart “ICT”?

Green ICT Cloud Mobile Social Network

Sensors GIS Map Health Informatics

+And more

Working Definition…

“Smart “ICT” leverages science and technology to:

Create better products

Improve services

Enhance processes and workflows

Enabling technology and

Improve human life and the society to make it sustainable and ensure equal access

to opportunities to enable inclusive growth

But ICT is already smart why do we need to

make it smart?

#ThrowbackICT

Days of Hardware

Only Hardware

is needed…Our hardware

don’t need your

software…

The Business of

ICT is all about

Hardware…

This is pure

engineering…

#ThrowbackICT

Software says it all

Your hardware

needs our software

to make it runUsers needs us…

Users will not fully

understand your

machine without

the solution for

SMART “ICT” is not all about changing the system, but

it is for the full realization of every Science,

Technology and Engineering goals to enable Inclusive

Growth. Where it brings flexibility, effective innovation

and Sustainable Development in the Society…

And how does any of the services

delivered effectively?

What other key technologies that benefits

from Cloud Computing’s Paradigm of

efficiency on service delivery?

High Performance Computing & Big Data Analytics will improve weather forecasting and flood & storm surge prediction

IBM Corp. donated a 4,096 core Blue

Gene/P super computer to DOST.

The NOAH-Wise Project: Weather Information Integration for System Enhancement

EXPECTED OUTCOMES:

• Improved weather forecasting

• NOAH’s weather forecast extended from 6 hours to

7 days

• Larger area coverage to monitor weather

disturbances forming out at sea

• Faster computing time will result in hourly 7-day

forecasts

• Improved flood prediction and storm surge

prediction

Cloud and Smarter ICT Infrastructure

Connectivity

Challenge: We only

attained 60%

connectivity in the

whole country and

good connection is

somewhat focused

only in urban areas

TV Whitespace technology

• Uses un-allocated television frequency spectrum to

provide data connectivity.

• Applications of the technology include: telemedicine,

educational content delivery, rural last mile

connectivity and environmental sensor networks.

Something to think about…

Human brains are virtually networked, wherein if one have a change of mind it

can send a ripple of change over that network, and a state of convergence -

divergence happens, and those that will converge, changes its very state of

mind, while those that diverge, will stay on their current state of mind. The

state of convergence happens over the member of the network with the same

context, and the state of divergence happens to the members of the network

that has a different set of context at some level...

Convergence – Divergence Algorithm
