The past decade has witnessed increasing use of mobile technologies and smart applications. With the expected diffusion of 5G, business reports indicate that these technologies will usher in a new era that radically changes consumers’ purchase patterns and renders many extant business practices obsolete. Accordingly, the objective of the Mobile Technologies, Smart Systems & ICT4D Working Group is to conduct research relating to mobile technologies, smart systems, ICT4D, educational technologies, learner analytics, TVET, etc. with a view to helping businesses, educational institutions, policy makers and individuals understand the uses of these tools and their impact on the achievement of organizational goals.

Machine learning is reshaping our world. Machine learning tools are greatly impacting medical science, engineering, transportation, banking and firm-customer relationships, to name a few. In a few years to come, several business practices will be swept aside while new ones will emerge that dynamically meet the challenges of contemporary times. Therefore, the role of the machine learning, artificial intelligence and big data working group is to proffer solutions to businesses, governments and international organisations by harnessing data to build computer programmes and algorithms that meet the challenges faced by these organisations. The members of this group are experts in complex mathematical modelling, artificial neural network, artificial intelligence and deep learning.
