All things considered, electronic imaging systems do not rival the human visual system despite notable progress over 40 years since the invention of the CCD. This work presents a method that allows design engineers to evaluate the performance gap between a digital camera and the human eye. The method identifies limiting factors of the electronic systems by benchmarking against the human system....

A digital archive, together with its users and its contents, does not exist in isolation; there is a cycle of activities which provides the context for the archive's existence. In arguing for the broadening of the traditional view of digital libraries as merely collections towards the processes of collecting and deploying, we have developed an extend ed digital library environment for orthopaed...

ion gap for i = 1,n a[i] = b[i] * c[i] x[i] = a[i]/y[i] ... ... Figure 1.1. The need to translate from the high-level conceptual view of a digital system, such as a processor capable of executing the program shown above, to its physical realization in VLSI chips leads to the designer’s abstraction gap.

Today, in more and more enterprises digital services are offered to employees. An inherent characteristic of digital service is the self-service concept. Based on findings from a case study and academic literature, it is argued for the importance of employee knowledge when designing digital services. It is revealed that existing service blueprinting approach are not capable of adequately reflec...

In the information systems (IS) literature, there is a gap in understanding the role of middle managers (MMs) in the digital transformation in organizations. IS research has focused on understanding top management and user roles in IT-related transformational change but the role of MMs has rarely been examined. To fill this gap, this paper reports on an open-ended exploration of the influence a...
