Eefje Vandamme - iBoot entrepreneurial training & coaching programimec.archive
iBoot is a entrepreneurial training and coaching program run by iMinds that takes research ideas and helps form them into business opportunities over the course of 2 months. Participants develop a business plan for their idea with help from workshops and a multidisciplinary team. Teams then present their plans to a professional investment board. The goal is to connect researchers interested in entrepreneurship with coaching and experts to evaluate the commercial potential of their ideas.
Administrative Cost Savings through Invoice VerificationsRutger Gassner
Administrative costs associated with invoice processing can be reduced through strategic verification of invoice data. A tiered approach to invoice verification includes checking for invoice compliance, filtering duplicate bills, and verifying product prices. Ensuring accurate and complete invoices are validated against purchase orders and price thresholds can significantly decrease costs from disputes and repetition in the payment process.

A perfect matching in a bipartite graph is a matching that matches all vertices. The document discusses algorithms for finding a perfect matching in regular bipartite graphs. The currently most efficient algorithm takes time O(m), where m is the number of edges and n is the number of vertices. The document improves this to O(min{m, n2.5ln n/d}) by proving a uniform sampling theorem: sampling each edge independently with probability O(n ln n/d2) results in a graph that has a perfect matching with high probability.

How FOSS projects and open ICT standards often interact in a virtuous cycle. Recent examples, and a list of IoT-relevant open standards projects at OASIS. Feb 2014
Ddo8 Peter Anker Digital Dividend In Nlimec.archive
This document discusses competition in broadcasting services and the potential use of the digital dividend in the Netherlands. It finds that a large part of the digital dividend is already used for digital terrestrial television, which competes with cable broadband. The remaining digital dividend could be used to either strengthen digital terrestrial television or to enhance mobile coverage in rural areas. It considers these two scenarios and concludes that a flexible auction process that allows either outcome could maximize the benefits to consumers.
The document discusses the production of a double page spread. It involves laying out text and images across two facing pages that will be viewed simultaneously. Care must be taken to balance the visual elements and flow of information between the two pages so it is cohesive and reads as a single spread when viewed together.

The document discusses different deployment models for a central cognitive enabler (CPC) and evaluates their business viability. It analyzes the CPC concept using a business model framework, identifying three main archetypes - operator CPC, intermediary CPC, and hybrid CPC. Interviews were conducted with mobile operators, telecom vendors, and regulatory experts to assess the strategic fit of each archetype based on control and value parameters. Overall the analysis provides a framework to evaluate the viability of CPC implementations and architectures prior to deployment based on business model considerations and stakeholder assessments.
Leen Thielemans - M HKA Game for interactive & mobile museum visitimec.archive
1) M HKA PP is a game developed for the M HKA museum to facilitate interactive and mobile visits using tools like QR codes and a 3D environment on iPods.
2) A pilot program tested the game with 24 young people to evaluate the experience, accessibility, educational value, and needs/expectations of users.
3) Preliminary results found that participants found the mobility, on-demand information, and ability to share experiences through the game facilitated a more intense museum visit. However, the 3D environment may not be suitable for the general public.
The document discusses tensions between intellectual property rights (IPR) and standardization in open source and freely available software. It notes that while stable open standards regimes can address patent claims, not all "open" licenses and standards are fully interoperable. The document examines issues regarding non-assertion clauses, differing approaches in countries like China, the relationship between standards and innovation, and whether patent and copyright laws still make sense for information technologies. It concludes that policymakers must balance the rights of public access and technological competition.
This document provides an overview of HTML5 semantic elements and how they can be used to mark up a standard WordPress blog. It includes code examples of integrating these new elements into the header, posts, and other sections. Key elements discussed are <section>, <nav>, <article>, <aside>, <header>, <footer>, and <time>. The document suggests these elements are well-suited for structuring blog content in a semantically meaningful way.
The document discusses the Syllable operating system project, which is developing two operating systems - Syllable Desktop and Syllable Server. Syllable Desktop is meant for personal computers and provides an easy to use graphical interface, while Syllable Server is meant for servers and provides command line access initially but will also get a graphical interface. Both systems aim to provide powerful capabilities while being easy to use.

The document discusses the intersection of information and communication technologies (ICT) and creative industries in Europe. It notes that creative industries generate over €654 billion annually for Europe. It also describes the MFG Baden-Württemberg organization's efforts to foster innovation through cross-fertilization between ICT and creative industries at the European, national and regional levels. Their activities include research, workshops, virtual worlds and more to boost collaboration between the two fields.
NFC Voucher closing event - Birgit Morlion, Program Manager (IBBT)imec.archive
The document summarizes an event for the closing of the NFC Voucher project hosted by IBBT. The project analyzed the viability of using near field communication (NFC) technology for electronic vouchers as an alternative to paper vouchers. The event included presentations on the architecture and security of an NFC voucher system, simulation of a potential future voucher scenario, legal aspects of ecommerce and vouchers, and the user experience design and business model of NFC vouchers. The project was a collaborative effort between IBBT research groups and industry partners over 2 years.
