This manuscript reports of a small-scale deployment of OSS for office automation in Public Bodies. We describe the environment, the rocess and the problems encountered. We analyze data about the personal productivity in this light transition approach. We describe the major issues encountered and we suggest possible solutions. We find that personal productivity is not affected by the introductio...

The Reasoning Architectures group at MCC has been conducting research in the area of distributed artificial intelligence (DAI). This executive summary presents the potential benefits (“return on investment”) to be gained from this research. In particular, we describe several applications, ranging from process control to office automation, that can be solved with RAD, a distributed expert system...

A system architecture is proposed for integrating sensors, controllers, actuators and instrumentation within a common framework. The goal is to provide a flexible and scalable system. Extending the system, by adding additional components such as sensors or actuators, does not increase the overheads and is achieved seamlessly with minimal modification of the core controller programme. The archit...

Advancing technology has made document image processing an important feature in automation of office documentation. Digital filing system save space, paper and printing cost. The problem arises when document to be read is not placed correctly in scanner, which leads to the miss interpretation of document and increases the storage space .This paper deals with extraction of text from those skewed...

Workflow Management (WfM) is evolving quickly and expolited increasingly by businesses in a variety of industries. Its primary characteristic is the automation of processes involving combinations of human and machinebased activities, particularly those involving interaction with IT applications and tools. Although its most prevalent use is within the office environment in staff intensive operat...

Network and information system play irreplaceable roles in hospital daily administration. The system is so huge that any fault during its operation will cause serious consequences to hospital administration and bring immeasurable loss to the hospital; therefore, to set up corresponding contingency plans becomes increasingly important. From the perspective of management, the article puts forward...

introduction: in the current world of business, benefiting from information technology is considered as one of the main factors to develop and improve the performance of organizations. this study was performed to identify access to infrastructures of information technology among the managers and executive experts of health departments in iranian universities of medical sciences. it also tried t...

Document processing is an integral part of the automated office. Because document-based information systems are composed largely of unstructured text as opposed to structured data, the techniques which have been successfully applied to the design of current database systems are not adequate for the design of office information systems. The paper identifies issues related to the storage and retr...

The role of Information Technology (IT) solutions is becoming prominent inorganizations to achieve efficiency and competitive advantages. One such officeautomation (OA). It reasonable judge the OA impact by comparative evaluation pre postimplementation scenarios. In this study, five key performance indicators (KPIs) affecting OAdecision were identified. Three them namely human resource, time, c...
