This article proceeds in three steps: First, we attempt to show within a conceptual-theoretical framework that development in our era, the information age, has found a new dominant mode, which is called the Informational Mode of Development. While explaining this new mode of development, we attempt to show the driving role of this type of development to other aspects of development, such as economic development and human development. In the second step, by presenting a very concise picture of Iran's situation in some key indicators of information development, we show that despite the availability of conditions, Iran has not been able to provide the infrastructure and grounds required for informational development and the blessings that come from it, due to the defective way of dealing with ICTs and emerging technological phenomena on the one hand and neglect of the field of education and knowledge in recent years on the other. In the third step, we present a very concise analysis of the obstacles to informational development in Iran. Then in the conclusion section, we will point out some strategic imperatives for development within the framework of the informational mode of development.Our conceptualization of the informational mode of development and informational development is largely indebted to Manuel Castells, Pekka Himanen and their colleagues in the book "Reconceptualizing Development in the Global Information Age"; However, we will use the discussions of people such as Klaus Schwab, William Brian Arthur and his discussion on "Economic Evolution Following Technological Evolution" and the findings of various researchers for further explanation.

In the theoretical and conceptual part of the article, we rely on the meta-synthesis of existing research literature in this field. To measure Iran's status in the fundamental indicators of informational development, we use documentary studies and secondary data from existing global reports.

Today, the competitiveness of territories and companies depends largely on their ability to follow the rules of the information economy. Research literature in this field shows a positive and synergistic relationship between informationalism and the productivity and competitiveness of countries, regions and companies. The realization of this synergistic relationship is conditional on the existence of three factors; factors that can be considered the three fundamental aspects of informationdevelopment:Adequate and optimal infrastructure in ICTs (technology diffusion)Organizational transformation in the form of networking (for example, networked enterprise and e-governmentIncreasing the quality of the human workforce, which depends on education and quality of life.Accordingly, a country that wants to benefit from the blessings and advantages of information development in today's world must first have strong, extensiveand comprehensive ICT infrastructures and constantly update and strengthen them at the level ofthe most developed countries in the world; second, companies and organizations in that country (both private and public, including the government itself) must be managed in a networked manner and also have strong links with global financial and commercial exchange networks; and third, there must be a knowledge-based and capable human resource to support this entire ecosystem of informational development. Emphasis on infrastructure and technical dimensions and neglect of network dimensions, especially human and knowledge dimensions, will cause the information development cycle to remain incomplete and unstable. Even if economic growth is achieved in the short term, the country may move away from holistic development due to increasing inequalities, poverty, and the digital-income gap.This is while Iran's situation in global indicators related to the development and application of ICT is improving slowly overall, but it is clearly lagging behind the leading countries of the world and all the rich and stable countries of the region and is in some cases regressing. Even where growth is observed, the growth rate is so slow and the growth process is so steep that it seems as if the country has no intention of competing and excelling in regional and international competition. In addition, even the current technological infrastructure has not been optimally used to network the government and society and improve the quality of governance. The unfavorable trend of indicators related to human capital is also alarming and may challenge one of the important aspects of the country's informational development in the near future.

Reliable statistics and documents indicate that informational development in today's world is related to economic growth, productivity growth, poverty and inequality reduction, job creation, overcoming climate change and environmental degradation, and even administrative and political efficiency and the quality of governance. The capacity to produce wealth has never been as dependent on the intensity of informationalism as it is in our time, but informational development is not only the main driver of economic development, but it has also found a close relationship with human development. The fundamental and contextual role of ICTs for the emerging technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution indicates that this situation will intensify in the future.Therefore, if Iran wants to have a central position in the structure of power and wealth of the world today and in the future, it is bound to make major decisions and strategic choices to rethink its approach to emerging information and communication technologies on the one hand and to make urgent efforts to facilitate the country's macro-environment of informational development on the other. The future of the country's development in the current development paradigm depends to a large extent on the level of acceptance and support for the informational mode of development and the level of provision of platforms for its leapfrog growth. In Iran, however, the prerequisite for any policy and strategy in this area will be a change in the dominant intellectual framework and approach to new ICTs.

Information and communication technology has a direct impact on all levels of any organization. Network-centric defense in a safe environment is one of the recent technology which makes up the majority of defense organizations to accept these networks or to deploy their systems in these environments. Defense is one of the nation's critical infrastructure and by deploying it in network-centric environment, the terms such as efficiency, innovation and agility should be increased.Despite all the benefits, the issue of security as the most important challenge in this environment is necessary. This study evaluated a secure central network architecture requirement for defense organizations.
The population used in this study consist of professors and students of PhD in the field of cyberspace security, cyber strategic management and technology experts were in the arm forces.The results show that for upgrade defense technology in organizations, a model of security architecture for accommodate defense and exploited networks should be developed.Also security in the architecture is a critical requirement.In the architecture provided, the different components of network security defense is examined.

This study seeks to recognize the impact of ICT development and its role on improving sustainable development indices and its measurement in Iran. The role of sustainable development and ICT in various fields has been initially undertaken. Then, validated models of ICT impact were introduced. Subsequently, the studies related to the relationship of these areas were analyzed and ICT impact on the main dimensions of sustainable development was explained. In this study, the mixed approach with the sequential exploratory strategy was used. To identify the main factors of research, the expert interview was used. Using the results, the analytical model and the research questionnaire were prepared and the quantitative information obtained through the implementation of the questionnaire and validation of research model were analyzed by statistical tools such as SmartPLS and SPSS. The results of this research for Iran indicate significant effects of ICT on social dimension of sustainable development.

With the rapid development and explosion of information and communication technology, all aspects of human life, including ethical and legal challenges of its subject and a new kind of communication and interaction among people in cyberspace, is formed. Aside from all the positive aspects and benefits of this technology, what is morally obvious moral decadence in the information age? This new technology makes it easy to access to pornography, cyber theft, spying, invasion of privacy and intellectual property, and the decline of human dignity has been violated. The complexity and ambiguity of the legal issues arising from the impact of this technology is that if not controlled, serious threat to global security and order. In this paper we investigate the ethical and legal schools, the relationship between them in the face of cyberspace and its associated factors provide a conceptual model is checked. The aim of the research is applied and the method of data collection and analytical-survey. Smart PLS regression model using the software and cyberspace indices in both ethics and law, to regulate cyberspace are evaluated and compared. Education and awareness campaigns on the risks and threats, promoting moral and religious concepts in cyberspace, developing ethical and legal attachments to new technology, including cyber-based solution would be to move towards ethics and the rule of law.
