Banyak  dari  masyarakat  menerima  begitu  saja  teknologi  informasi  dan komunikasi  modern  yang  bahkan  tidak  dapat  diakses  beberapa  dekade  lalu.  Inovasi-inovasi teknologi informasi dan komunikasi ini, telah lama dianggap sebagai hal sepele, tidak  penting,  selama  masa  tenang  kini  menjadi  sangat  diperlukan  dalam  menghadapi pandemi COVID-19. Sekarang telah ada berbagai teknologi digital yang dapat digunakan untuk  menambah  dan  meningkatkan  strategi  pekerjaan,  pembelajaraan  dan  kesehatan masyarakat.  Selama  pandemi  COVID-19,  teknologi  memainkan  peran  penting  dalam menjaga kegiatan masyarakat tetap berfungsi pada saat Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (PSBB). Disimpulkan  bahwa masyarakat  memanfaatkan  saja  teknologi  informasi  dan  komunikasiuntuk  tetap  melaksanakan kegiatan  karena  fasilitas  dan  fitur  dari  saja  teknologi  informasi  dan  komunikasi  yang memiliki   keunggulan      dan  kemudahan  untuk  dipergunakan  oleh  berbagai  kalangan masyarakat.Kata Kunci: Teknologi Informasi, Komunikasi, Pandemi, Covid-19Many of the public take for granted modern information and communication technology that was not even accessible decades ago.  These information and communication technology innovations, have long been regarded as trivial, unimportant, as long as calm is now indispensable in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. There are now a variety of digital technologies that can be used to augment and enhance job, learning and public health strategies.  During the COVID-19 pandemic, technology played an important role in keeping community activities functioning during large-scale social restrictions (PSBB). It was concluded that the public only utilizes information and communication technology to continue to carry out activities because of the facilities and features of information and communication technology that has advantages and conveniences to be used by various groups.Keywords: Information Technology, Communication, Pandemic, Covid-19

Almost all countries in the world have been affected by the Covid-19 virus pandemic, including Indonesia. The Indonesian government established a Large-Scale Social Restriction policy in an effort to break the chain of spreading the covid-19 virus. The limited movement of people makes information and communication technology play a very important role as well as a solution to overcome these restrictions. Technology helps parents to keep working and finish their work from home, shop from home and children can learn from home so that effective and efficient distance learning activities can be realized. Optimizing the use of information and communication technology in the family provides more benefits for all family members during the Covid-19 pandemic due to the imposition of social restrictions that require all to stay at home.

The 2015 refugee crisis – as the mass influx of migrants from the Middle East is commonly dubbed – tested the European Union’s ability to react to large-scale humanitarian emergencies. Apart from various organizational, social and political changes that the 2015 refugee crisis has brought to the European Union, it has also marked the growing role of information and communication technology (ICT) in the EU’s asylum and migration policies. Drawing from the critical perspective of international relations and such concepts as securitization of migration, the paper aims to analyse the engagement of ICT by EU institutions and individual Member States during the refugee crisis in 2015.

Cloud computing is a new trend of information and communication technology that enables resource distribution and sharing at a large scale. The Cloud consists of a collection of virtual machine that promise to provision on-demand computational and storage resources when needed. End-users can access these resources via the Internet and have to pay only for their usage. Scheduling of scientific workflow applications on the Cloud is a challenging problem that has been the focus of many researchers for many years. In this work, we propose a novel algorithm for workflow scheduling that is derived from the Opposition-based Differential Evolution method. This algorithm does not only ensure fast convergence but it also averts getting trapped into local extrema. Our CloudSim-based simulations show that our algorithm is superior to its predecessors. Moreover, the deviation of its solution from the optimal one is negligible.

Abstract The digitalization current is among one of the most relevant factors that currently drive transformation in the economy, with different degrees of impact across the main segments of the economy. As the topic of sustainability is now on the agenda of the biggest economic players, digitalization and the ability to leverage Information and Communication Technology opportunities have been recognized as drivers for innovation and change and a means to reach the sustainability goals. Reaching energy efficiency has been among the main objectives of both the public and the private sectors, leading to an increased interest in recognizing and capitalizing on energy efficiency opportunities. This in turn has an impact on the overall energy productivity, defined as the economic output per unit of energy. While this indicator has relevance at both micro and macro level, it is important to identify which makes some countries perform better than others. In the current economic context, studying how the performance of countries in the digital era correlates with the energy productivity can reveal further information on how it can be improved. The Networked Readiness Index is an indicator which assesses how well a country can capitalize on digital technologies and whether their usage of Information and Communication Technology has a relevant socio-economic impact. This paper analyzes which components that are assessed in a country’s Networked Readiness Index might influence energy productivity. Based on a panel data analysis performed on European countries, the study identifies that the individual usage of Information and Communication Technologies, the business and innovation environment and the usage of ICT by the business segment could have an impact on the energy productivity of a country.


In Japan, regional shopping districts are on the decline because residents prefer suburban-type large-scale shopping stores. Such issues can be addressed in the context of the “Smart City”, of which functions depend on the information and communication technology (ICT). We established the “KIT Digital Signage Project,” which aims to help the regional stores around the Kanazawa Institute of Technology (KIT). In our project, we developed a digital signage system that is low-cost and easy to introduce in small stores. We conducted an experiment to evaluate the effect of our system. During the experiment, store-advertising movies were shown on digital signage terminals, which were placed in each store. The total average watching time and audience rate of our system were 24 s and 50%, respectively. In addition, we investigated the educational aspects of our project. The students in our project could master movie production in a shorter time when compared against learning it as an ordinary classroom subject. The future plans of our project are also discussed.

In this paper the model of an Innovative Monitoring Network involving properly connected nodes to develop an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) solution for preventive maintenance of historical centres from early warnings is proposed. It is well known that the protection of historical centres generally goes from a large-scale monitoring to a local one and it could be supported by a unique ICT solution. More in detail, the models of a virtually organized monitoring system could enable the implementation of automated analyses by presenting various alert levels. An adequate ICT solution tool would allow to define a monitoring network for a shared processing of data and results. Thus, a possible retrofit solution could be planned for pilot cases shared among the nodes of the network on the basis of a suitable procedure utilizing a retrofit catalogue. The final objective would consist in providing a model of an innovative tool to identify hazards, damages and possible retrofit solutions for historical centres, assuring an easy early warning support for stakeholders. The action could proactively target the needs and requirements of users, such as decision makers responsible for damage mitigation and safeguarding of cultural heritage assets.
