In the sector of the library all the professional activities reset on the creation and the management of the catalogues. The digitalization of those is an ambitious project whose complexity is difficult to evaluate and to manage. In this paper we are interested with in the problems arising at the practical implementation of such a project. We start by an introduction, then we define the bibliog...

We advance a theory of design process variation across organizational types and the effects of digitalization on these processes. We argue that design routines are subject to greater variation within and between organizations as organizations embed increasingly rich repertoires of digital capabilities in their design activities. Using a sequence analysis method we compare design process variati...

In this paper, we present what we have attempted towards the digitalization of the Philippine languages and their respective applications, and what we intend to do in the future. We present the development of a multi-engine bi-directional English-Filipino Machine Translation (MT) system, and the building of various language resources and tools for this system. We also discuss our experiments on...

I NDICATION FOR DIGITALIZATION of patients with cardiovascular disease has long been the presence of manifest heart failure or some specific arrhythmias, atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation and sometimes other atrial tachycardias. The presence of heart disease as such has not been thought to be sufficient indication to start a patient on digitalis therapy, mostly for two reasons. First, because...

This paper reports on the Joaquim Nabuco Project, a pioneering work in Latin America on document digitalization, enhancement, compression, indexing, retrieval and network transmission of historical document images.

The historical documents are valuable cultural heritages and sources for the study of history, social aspect and life at that time. The digitalization of historical documents aims to provide instant access to the archives for the researchers and the public, who had been endowed with limited chance due to maintenance reasons. However, most of these documents are not only written by hand in ancie...

The aim of this paper is the scientific development of a maturity model concerning the digital transformation of companies within the manufacturing industry’s supply chain. The rather “broad” and dispersed “mega-trend” of digitalization is expected to play an increasingly important role for companies as well as for the (digital) supply chain of the future. Such a model comprises the objective o...

Moving beyond questions about “services” and “the services economy,” this panel considers fresh ways of thinking about service innovation in the era of pervasive digitization. Panelists will argue that our understanding of digital services and products is radically transformed if we consider all exchanges to be service-for-service exchanges in which customers and suppliers co-create value in ex...

The level of digitalization within transport companies is much higher than the level of digitalization across organization boundaries. This fact suggests that there is room for improvement. However, this situation is not likely to change as long as there is no financial incentive for the whole sector to cooperate in establishing a shared communication infrastructure. In this paper, we present o...
