Comentarios a la Ley de Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones- TIC (Ley 1341 de 2009)


Book Description

La reciente expedición de la Ley 1341 de 2009 implica una transformación radical en el sector de las telecomunicaciones al incorporar un nuevo régimen de las tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones (TIC). Después de casi veinte años del estatuto anterior consagrado en el Decreto Ley I900 de I990, el legislador adapta el marco legal a las tendencias del derecho comparado surgidas del desarrollo tecnológico del sector y que obligan a reconocer la realidad de la convergencia en los servicios y redes de telecomunicaciones y la convergencia en los sectores informáticos y de telecomunicaciones. Puede afirmarse que existe una modificación de fondo aunque no suficiente, y que apunta a un plan ambicioso, por lo menos en el marco normativo, de lograr la tan ansiada finalidad social del Estado en derecho de acceso de todos los habitantes del territorio nacional al uso de estas nuevas tecnologías. Un gran cambio se observa en el nuevo ámbito de aplicación de la ley, donde incorpora en forma adicional a la industria de las telecomunicaciones el sector de las tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones (TIC), compuesto por las industrias manufactureras, comerciales y de servicios.El libro, dirigido a lectores interesados en un tema de tanta actualidad, tiene como objetivo mostrar la visión y comentarios de expertos, docentes nacionales y extranjeros de esta Universidad.Un gran cambio se observa en el nuevo ámbito de aplicación de la ley, donde incorpora en forma adicional a la industria de las telecomunicaciones el sector de las tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones (TIC), compuesto por las industrias manufactureras, comerciales y de servicios.El libro, dirigido a lectores interesados en un tema de tanta actualidad, tiene como objetivo mostrar la visión y comentarios de expertos, docentes nacionales y extranjeros de esta Universidad.El libro, dirigido a lectores interesados en un tema de tanta actualidad, tiene como objetivo mostrar la visión y comentarios de expertos, docentes nacionales y extranjeros de esta Universidad.

Phosphorus in Environmental Technology


Book Description

Phosphorus in Environmental Technology: Principles and Applications, provides a definitive and detailed presentation of state-of-the-art knowledge on the environmental behaviour of phosphorus and its applications to the treatment of waters and soils. Special attention is given to phosphorus removal for recovery technologies, a concept that has emerged over the past 5-6 years. The book features an all-encompassing approach: the fundamental science of phosphorus (chemistry, geochemistry, mineralogy, biology), key aspects of its environmental behaviour and mobility, industrial applications (treatment, removal, recovery) and the principles behind such applications, novel biotechnologies and, importantly, it also addresses socio-economic issues which often influence implementation and the ultimate success of any new technology. A detailed subject index helps the reader to find their way through the different scientific and technological aspects covered, making it an invaluable reference work for students, professionals and consultants dealing with phosphorus-related environmental technologies. State-of-the-art knowledge on the behaviour of phosphorus and its applications to environmental science and technology. Covers all aspects of phosphorus in the environment, engineered and biological systems; an interdisciplinary text.




Developing Innovation Systems


Book Description

Mexico provides a case study of a cornerstone economy in the development of the hemospheric free trade zone in the Americas, an adjusting economy which has been integrated into uneven economies (Canada and the US). This volume examines the Mexican economy and its attempt to develop an innovation system, providing an example of the dynamics that are of concern to evolutionary economists.




National cyber security : framework manual


Book Description

"What, exactly, is 'National Cyber Security'? The rise of cyberspace as a field of human endeavour is probably nothing less than one of the most significant developments in world history. Cyberspace already directly impacts every facet of human existence including economic, social, cultural and political developments, and the rate of change is not likely to stop anytime soon. However, the socio-political answers to the questions posed by the rise of cyberspace often significantly lag behind the rate of technological change. One of the fields most challenged by this development is that of 'national security'. The National Cyber Security Framework Manual provides detailed background information and in-depth theoretical frameworks to help the reader understand the various facets of National Cyber Security, according to different levels of public policy formulation. The four levels of government--political, strategic, operational and tactical/technical--each have their own perspectives on National Cyber Security, and each is addressed in individual sections within the Manual. Additionally, the Manual gives examples of relevant institutions in National Cyber Security, from top-level policy coordination bodies down to cyber crisis management structures and similar institutions."--Page 4 of cover.
