spelling oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/6374 Softbridge : a socially aware framework for communication bridges over digital divides Tucker, William David Blake, Edwin H Computer Science Includes abstract. Includes bibliographical references (p. 203-219). Computer scientists must align social and technical factors for communication technologies in developing regions yet lack a framework to do so. The novel Softbridge framework comprises several components to address this gap. The Softbridge stack abstraction supplements the established Open Systems Interconnect model with a collection of technical layers clustered around 'people' issues. The Softbridge stack aligns the technological design of communication systems with awareness of social factors characteristic of developing regions. 2014-08-13T19:25:51Z 2014-08-13T19:25:51Z 2009 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/6374 eng application/pdf Department of Computer Science Faculty of Science University of Cape Town
