The keynote postulates that 'to think that technology can solve the world's major social challenges is a myth', and questions if we know what 'technology' means and challenges our views on 'major social challenges'. The address positions itself from a rural African perspective. Via definitions of different perspectives and traditions, it provides examples of challenges, studies, and experiences from rural Zambia. This culminates in antonyms of traditions and academics, and indications of view points and answers. Special attention is given to the term 'humanitarian' and 'social innovation'. The key note finishes with suggestions for progress.","PeriodicalId":265555,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122321712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Position Based Directional Ad-Hoc Routing with Space Time Diversity","authors":"Caryn Chan, C. Warty, R. Yu","doi":"10.1109/GHTC.2012.69","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/GHTC.2012.69","url":null,"abstract":"Self organizing mobile Ad-Hoc networks have gained much attention in the last decade particularly due to their ease of deployment in war zones and natural disasters. Because of the fact that the Ad-Hoc network is a virtual network created by the participating nodes, this approach can be applied to remote areas with no fixed networking capability, and is ideal for coordination in remote locations. Considering the sophistication of equipment capable of handling MIMO techniques and inbuilt GPS receivers, a simple two-stage method of forwarding the message is proposed in this paper. A low frequency broadcast containing GPS coordinates of the nodes is used for node discovery which is then followed by a directional narrow beam at higher frequency for data transfer. The knowledge of GPS location combined with directional transmission is expected to increase the performance of the network. The intent of the paper is to propose a simplified location-based Ad-Hoc routing mechanism and to examine its performance when combined with MIMO space time coding technique. The space time codes are evaluated over a Flat Slow Fading channel using various modulation schemes. The basic premise of the proposed scheme is simplicity and robustness.","PeriodicalId":265555,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126432362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is suffering from acute power crisis a quite long time without any respite. There are a number of underlying reasons for the crisis, but ultimately the country lacks the fossil fuel resources required to conduct a large scale grid-expansion program. Besides power production, environmental issue is becoming a main concern to our country and trying to reduce carbon emission. The effective and efficient use of sustainable Energy sources can help to reduce the power crisis and it will be an environment friendly enterprise. So, this paper focuses on the energy scenario and feasibility analysis of different sustainable energy sources including solar, wind, Micro-hydro and bio-mass energy in the perspective of Bangladesh.","PeriodicalId":265555,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130760644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The trainings were 4 days long and targeted 20 participants, composed of researchers, professionals and students from both computer science and other scientific faculties. The training activities were regional ones and used open wireless sensors for the advantages they present. The lectures were organized with theoretical lectures in the morning and laboratory sessions in the afternoon. Participants from the workshops have deployed wireless sensor networks in their own countries and have come up with some interesting applications.We will describe an application deployed in Malawi.","PeriodicalId":265555,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference","volume":"211 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123393387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
