Telematic applications for supporting telework related activities

This paper introduces a further study towards telematic systems, especially in relation to their importance for telework. With respect to this issue, the paper considers the role of telematic applications in support of telework. In particular, it investigates telework support brokerage systems, which turn out to be crucial for the spread of telework among broad social circles. As a possible infrastructure for such systems, the paper considers telecenters. It is shown how such a brokerage system could be practically implemented, providing ideas about the system architecture. Finally, attention is paid also to some social issues, discussing the great importance of modern information and communication technologies (including telework as one of the best examples of successful mass application of these technologies with great benefits for society) for the human prosperity of tomorrow
