Welcome!
The ICT4G Group at the Fondazione Bruno Kessler works on methodologies, tools, and techniques for designing and building software applications/systems to address the (digital) society needs. The group's research focus is on System Engineering, Business Process Modeling and Reengineering, and Security Engineering (Security Assessment of complex systems and Web Applications Vulnerability Detection). Have a look at our Projects and Research pages for more details.
The (longer term) goal of the group is looking at novel ways of using technology to preserve and improve people’s life. More specifically, the unit focuses on how to use ICT for addressing critical problems of societies with low ICT penetration in a way that life is impacted for the better. Notice that with low ICT penetration, we not only refer to developing nations (where the penetration is remarkably low) but also to societies with significant and tangible gaps that could be effectively addressed by the usage of new technologies.
The ICT4G group is involved in the organization of Africomm, the International Workshop on Requirements Engineering for Electronic Voting Systems (REVOTE '11) and Maputo Living Lab.
In 2011, the ICT4G unit brought RHoK to Italy for the first time, hosting RHoK #3 at Fondazione Bruno Kessler in partnership with Informatici Senza Frontiere and the University of Trento.
NEWS AND EVENTS
RHoK Global June 2012
Mon, 05/07/2012 - 16:01 — fralongoRHoK is coming back to Trento!
The fifth global Random Hacks of Kindness event will bring big change. This edition will be more focused on (but not limited to) problems related to food waste and food security. The food wasted by Europe every year is equal to the amount of food needed to end World Hunger. We are inviting NGOs and ONLUS to submit challenges to stimulate the development of new applications to help alleviate suffering.
Our group is again organizing the event that will take place in FBK on June 2-3. Subject matter experts are invited to submit problems and technologists, coders, hackers and people interested are all invited to participate to the event.
