Applications of ICT
Research
Problem Identification
Research can be said to mean
 to search again;
 to try to find something by looking further;
RESE  to seek again more carefully and thoroughly;
ARCH
 to examine further – to look for further
information.
Scientifically, Research is a methodical
investigation into a subject in order to
discover/establish more facts or information.
It is the systematic investigation into and
study of materials and sources in order to
establish facts and reach new conclusions.
Research can be carried in virtually
every field of endeavour including but not
limited to the following:
1. Science, Engineering & Technology
2. Information & Communication Technology
3. Humanities, Arts and Economics
4. Sociology, Business, Marketing
information and communication technology, ICT, is an amalgamation of
two terms: information technology and communication technology.

The term is generally accepted to mean all devices, networking


components, applications and systems that when combined allow
people, systems, and organizations (i.e., businesses, nonprofit agencies,
governments and criminal enterprises) to interact in the digital world.
It underpins innovation and competitiveness across private and public
sectors and enables scientific progress in all disciplines.
ICT Research can therefore be said to be
the systematic investigation into and study
of materials and sources in all sectors of
human endeavour using the instruments
of information and communication
technology in order to establish facts,
reach new conclusions and produce new
products.
Applications of ICT Research
ICT Research is organized in broad
specializations including but not limited
to the following:

1. mobile communication systems


2. system development and security
3. Multimedia
4. Data Science/Data Analytics
5. Artificial Intelligence/Robotics Tech
STAGES OF ICT RESEARCH
Basic Research
Technology R & D
Demonstration
Prototyping
Large Scale Validation
Pilots
Market Uptake
As a generic technology, ICT‘s influence in research can be categorized into
three broad ICT-driven areas of endeavour as follows:

1) Excellent Science: Future and emerging technologies; research


infrastructure.

2) Industrial leadership: Leadership in enabling & industrial technologies;


Innovation in SMEs

3) Societal Challenges: • Health, demographic change & wellbeing; Food


security, sustainable agriculture & the bio-based economy; Secure, clean
& efficient energy; Smart, green & integrated transport; Climate action,
resource efficiency, & raw materials; Inclusive, innovative & reflective
societies; Secure societies
SIGNIFICANCE OF ICT RESEARCH

▸ Innovation and Technological


Advancement
Research in ICT plays a pivotal role in
driving innovation and advancing
technology. It leads to the development of
new hardware and software solutions,
improved algorithms, and novel
approaches to address complex ICT
challenges.
SIGNIFICANCE OF ICT RESEARCH

▸ Problem Solving

ICT research helps identify and address


practical problems and challenges in the
field. Whether it's optimizing network
performance, enhancing cybersecurity, or
improving user interfaces, research
provides solutions to real-world issues.
SIGNIFICANCE OF ICT RESEARCH

▸ Knowledge Expansion
ICT research contributes to the expansion
of knowledge in the field. It helps build a
deeper understanding of how ICT systems
work, their potential applications, and the
underlying principles governing them.
SIGNIFICANCE OF ICT RESEARCH

▸ Competitive Edge
Organizations that invest in ICT research
gain a competitive edge in the market.
Research-driven innovations can lead to the
development of cutting-edge products and
services that set them apart from
competitors.
SIGNIFICANCE OF ICT RESEARCH

▸ Efficiency and Optimization

Research can lead to the optimization of ICT


systems and processes, resulting in cost
savings and improved efficiency. This is
particularly important in businesses and
government organizations.
SIGNIFICANCE OF ICT RESEARCH

▸ Security and Privacy


In an era of increasing cyber threats, ICT
research is crucial for enhancing
cybersecurity measures, protecting

ICT research facilitates global connectivity
by improving communication technologies,
enabling remote collaboration, and bridging
geographical and cultural divides.
SIGNIFICANCE OF ICT RESEARCH

▸ Societal Impact
Many ICT research projects have a profound
impact on society, from improving
healthcare through telemedicine to
addressing environmental challenges
through data analysis and modeling.
CHARATERISTICS OF A RESEARCH PROBLEM
It must be within the interest of the researcher. Select a
problem that you are passionate about. Writing a research
paper will be more enjoyable if you are writing about
something that you find interesting.
It must be within the specialization of the researcher. Select
a problem that you are capable of doing – skills and
knowledge are very important in this aspect.

It is researchable and manageable. Select a topic for which


you can find a manageable amount of information.

It is completed within a reasonable period of time.


SAMPLE RESEARCH PROBLEMS
Development of an Online learning platform and
its effect to the performance of students.
A teacher is using two online learning platforms to
compare their advantages and disadvantages
A computer scientist is doing a cost-benefit analysis
of in order to develop a mobile application for
agricultural purposes.
An IT expert is planning to replace an existing
algorithm for a fibonacci sequence.
