Published in association with ELIG, the aim of this new book series is to focus on key trends and innovations - pedagogic, technological, and commercial - which are either impacting, or have the potential to impactm the ways in which digital learning and education is understood, developed and delivered within academic, public and private sectors.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Conference on Serious Games Development and Applications, SGDA 2011, held in Lisbon, Portugal in September 2011. The 13 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for publication. Among the topics addressed are virtual reality, computer assisted learning, computer graphics, tutoring systems, e-learning, e-culture, and guiding systems.
Irrespective of whether we use economic or societal metrics, the Internet is one of the most important technical infrastructures in existence today. It will be a catalyst for much of our innovation and prosperity in the future. A competitive Europe will require Internet connectivity and services beyond the capabilities offered by current technologies. Future Internet research is therefore a must. This book is published in full compliance with the Open Access publishing initiative; it is based on the research carried out within the Future Internet Assembly (FIA). It contains a sample of representative results from the recent FIA meetings spanning a broad range of topics, all being of crucial importance for the future Internet. The book includes 32 contributions and has been structured into the following sections, each of which is preceded by a short introduction: Foundations: architectural issues; socio-economic issues; security and trust; and experiments and experimental design. Future Internet Areas: networks, services, and content; and applications.
This volume contains the proceedings of the First International ICST Conference on Digital Business (DigiBiz 2009), hosted by City University London in London, UK. This annual event had the main objective to stimulate and disseminate research results and experimentation on future Digital Business to a wider multidisciplinary forum that would allow the participants to cross the boundaries between research and business. The scientific offering in e-business, e-commerce, and ICT in general is quite broad and spans many different research themes, involving several communities and me- odologies. The growth and dynamic nature of these research themes pose both ch- lenges and opportunities. The challenges are in having scientists and practitioners talk to each other: despite the fact that they work on similar problems they often use very different languages in terms of research tools and approaches. The opportunities on the other hand arise when scientists and practitioners engage in multidisciplinary d- cussions leading to new ideas, projects and products.
Das vorliegende Buch gibt einen umfassenden praxisorientierten Einblick in die frühen Innovationsphasen, die auch als "fuzzy front end" bezeichnet werden. Von Ideenquellen für Innovationen von morgen über organisatorische Aspekte bis zum Projektmanagement werden aktuelle Erkenntnisse, Methoden und Instrumente vorgestellt, die bereits in den frühen Phasen den Grundstein für erfolgreiche Projekte legen.
Das "Who is Who" aus den Bereichen Universität, Venture Capital, Investmentbanken, Verbänden und Start-up-Unternehmen berichtet über Erfahrungen aus der Vergangenheit, zeigt die Rahmenbedingungen für Unternehmensgründungen in der Gegenwart auf und liefert Perspektiven für die Zukunft in der Net Economy.
"This book brings together a comprehensive collection on commercial, government or societal exploitation of the Internet and ICT, representing cutting edge research from over 30 countries. The issues, applications and case studies presented facilitate knowledge sharing, which is key to addressing global eAdoption issues and the Digital Divide. It can be sued to benchmark regional and national developments, avoid previous mistakes and identify potential partners and exploitation opportunities." -- Preface.
Some compare the evolving Web to the revolution of the Gutenberg press. How does the Web shape the role and understanding of leadership? What are key challenges and opportunities? What mindsets, skills and knowledge are necessary? "The Leadership Implications of the Evolving Web," provides and analyzes over 300 pioneer examples from the private, public and non-profit sector in Germany, Europe and the US. A new leadership paradigm seems to be emerging with an inexorable shift away from one-way, hierarchical, organization-centric communication toward two-way, network-centric, participatory, and collaborative leadership styles. Which requirements and trends, which opportunities and key challeng...
Changes in production and consumption patterns are a crucial element in advancing the sustainability agenda. Many companies are now contributing to such efforts through a focus on sustainable innovation when developing new products and services. However, problematically, many such products fail as consumers reject them in the marketplace. User integration in product development is a well-suited approach to increase the usability and the marketability of new products. This book asks the following question: under what conditions can companies trigger sustainability-oriented organizational learning processes by integrating consumers in product development? The author analyses this question by s...
Von 2003 bis 2013 wurden von den Regierungschefs aus Bund und Ländern mehrere E-Government-Vorhaben initiiert, die alle föderalen Ebenen um-fassten. Zieladressat war ein Großteil der bundesdeutschen Bevölkerung. Der finanzielle Aufwand für die Projekte betrug jeweils mehrere Millionen Euro, doch nur wenige der Vorhaben waren erfolgreich. Die Ursachen für das Ergebnis sind bisher nur wenig erforscht. In dieser Arbeit wird der Innovationsverlauf von vier der Vorhaben nachgezeichnet und analysiert. Die Fallrekonstruktionen basieren auf rund 4.000 ausgewerteten Dokumenten, Interviews und Sekundärliteratur zu den Fällen. Zwei der untersuchten Vorhaben waren erfolgreich, zwei sind gescheit...
