Funded Activity Summary

Development and Validation of Conceptual Models and Transferable Architectures to Support Self-Sustainable Community Portals. There is growing worldwide interest in the study of community portals because of their potential to bridge the 'digital divide' and promote community innovation. However, community portals are still poorly understood and often fail due to lack of adequate sustainability mechanisms. The proposed research extends our knowledge about community portals by developing formal conceptual models and transferable architectures for community portals. The project aims to use emerging modelling techniques to model the complex environment of a local community and derive an architecture based on that model. The project outcomes will include a conceptual model and transferable architecture for community portals.
