Information and communication technology (ICT) plays an important role in the worldwide economy. Computational infrastructures and networks, with well documented data and information, underpin the possibilities to deliver target oriented messages to politicians and the public on a regional, national and global level. So, ICT has an impact for the well being of citizens in the world.
