assistive devices, legacy technologies and service-side solutions.
- Overview of Internet services and Web-based applications. Issues and
trends in electronic mail, file sharing, and the emergence of Web-based applications for

and distance collaboration - for electronic commerce, and for planning and managing public
services; current situation, emerging issues and trends among ASEAN member States;
