- Description: ICTs, driven by the convergence of computers, telecommunications and traditional media, are crucial for the knowledge-based economy of the future. The rapid technological changes have resulted in different ideas being suggested for the expected ICT applications. As a result, different e-Service applications have being developed as a way to fos-ter ICT developments. However, ICT applications deployed at the mo-ment may not be able to sustain the rural communities in maybe 10 years or more to come. The paper considers the past, analyzes the present and conduct surveys to gain insight into the future. Based on all of this information, the research tries to provide an ICT road map for what is to come. What kind of applications can we develop now to cater for the technological changes, so that the ICT applications developed today would still be compatible with those developed in years to come? The Siyakhula Living Lab (SLL) is used as the case study in this paper and some interviews and literature review are done to get different ide-as on the future of ICTs.

Publicising chemistry in a multicultural society through chemistry outreach

- Description: Given the emphasis in Higher Education on community engagement in South Africa and the importance of international collaboration, we discuss a joint approach to chemistry outreach in two countries on two continents with widely differing target school audiences. We describe the history of the partnership between the chemistry departments at Rhodes University and the University of Bristol and provide an outline of the chemistry content of their outreach initiatives, the modes of delivery, the advantages to both departments and their students for involvement in various levels of outreach, the challenges they still face and additional opportunities that such work facilitated. The lecture demonstration 'A Pollutant's Tale' was presented to thousands of learners all over the world, including learners at resource-deprived schools in South Africa. Challenges to extend outreach activities in South Africa include long travelling distances, as well as a lack of facilities (such as school halls and electricity) at schools. Outreach activities not only impacted on the target audience of young learners, they also impacted upon the postgraduate and other chemistry students taking part in these initiatives. This collaboration strengthened both institutions and their outreach work and may also lead to chemistry research collaborations between the academics involved.

SOA driven architectures for service creation through enablers in an IMS testbed

- Description: Standards development organisations have long been in agreement that the most appropriate and cost effective way of developing services for the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is through the use - and re-use - of service capabilities, which are the building blocks for developing complex services. IMS specifications provide a theoretical framework for how service capabilities can be aggregated into large service appli-cations. However, there is little evidence that mainstream IMS service development is capability-based, and many services are still designed in a monolithic way, with no re-use of existing functionality. Telecom-munication networks are well positioned to stimulate the Internet ser-vices market by exposing these service enablers to third parties. In this paper, we marry the two issues by defining an extended IMS service layer (EISL) that provides a service broker that is the central agent in both service interaction management and the execution of external re-quests from third parties. A prototypical implementation of the service broker is described that was developed using a converged SIP servlet container, and a discussion is also provided that details how third party developers could use HTTP APIs to interact with a service broker in or-der to gain access to network capabilities.
