In this transformation, paper documents from the past are being converted into a kind of format in which it is more efficient, saves more time in management and more secured. Optical Character Recognition(OCR) software can help extract valuable information from the scanned documents and store the data in a way that it is readily available. OCR converts scanned paper documents and digital files into editable and searchable data. The researchers used a multi-layer perceptron in a neural network to implement optical character recognition. Furthermore, the researchers created a software that will recognize handwritten letters of Ford Improved Shorthand Alphabet from images. The results of the study showed that many factors affect the accuracy of software/program in recognizing letters from the inputted images, including the lightness or darkness of the strokes for recognition, the thickness or thinness of the handwritten letters in the images, and amount of trained neural network for recognition. Therefore, the larger the amount of data trained for each letter of the Ford Improved Shorthand Alphabet, the more accurate the recognition of the software/program will be. Furthermore, the clearer the inputted images for training neural networks as well as the coded models for the identification, the accuracy of the software/program varies greatly.","PeriodicalId":277894,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Digitization (ICD)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116840108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over the past few years, electronic identity cards started to be used in different countries all over the world, but for more than a decade the UAE started to use it for personal identification and authentication purposes. Emirates identity is an ID card given out by the Central government for Distinctiveness and Nationality. It's a lawful obligation for every UAE residents as well as inhabitants to request for a card and carry it all the time. It is used in numerous ways such as, as a uniqueness evidence to get public amenities, for polling during ballot vote of Central National Assembly, as a transit manuscript for UAE residents to the GCC, also can be used as a document to pass immigration via the Electronic-Gates and smart entrance at the UAE airports. A few years later, some companies started to use the same identity card issued by the National Identity Card Authority (ICA) for other purposes. From the time when ICA was established, it has specified in giving ID and validation amenities of distinctiveness for persons to central and confined administration establishments plus all additional bodies which influence the solutions appropriate in this respect. The authorities have mandated ICA, for duties such as, the mandate to demand the required facts and data from the proficient establishments in the Nation to deliver its goals. This paper is going to discuss the potential applications for the electronic identity card and how its uses can be expanded to explore new areas of usage to ease and reduce the possession of many other cards, having all the information needed to access the day-to-day services with one electronic card.","PeriodicalId":277894,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Digitization (ICD)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130270314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It helps to increase the volume of investments, encourages savings. Also small, medium and large entrepreneurs are the major functions of financial system and leads to economic development of any nation. It is very important to maintain proper equilibrium between supply and demand of money which acts as market force determining the sustainability of the financial markets. One of the most important sources of money into financial markets is Microfinance (MFs) and Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs). Initially microfinance institutions grew to provide financial support for the retail customers, where banks were unable to supplement the same, due to various reasons. The customers who are serviced by Microfinance institutions are the ones that do not have proper documentation or have very few mandatory documents. These customers also try to arrange for tangible security, making it extremely difficult for institutions to offer any banking services. There is not much availability of the documentation for usage of funds that were taken earlier as the resources have not been put to proper usage making it difficult for the customer's survival and repayment of debt. Because of these reasons there are some operational and technical problems like increase in rate of interest charged, non-availability of the services, slow KYC process, excessive transaction costs etc. facing by Microfinance institutions. This brings in a need for proper use of technology to minimize the problems, facing by this industry and it is the need of the hour to set bottlenecks at any cost for the success of MFIs and also to maintain the transparency, authenticity and validity of the information provided by the customers. Indian financial sector has been moving towards innovations and application of technological advancements for the better and quality services and transactions and at the same time it is very important to take measures for the maintenance of liquidity and safety of the funds supplied into the markets. As a solution to this we introduce a new public ledger technology called the blockchain technology. This is a tamper proof technology which does not allow any modifications to be done on the data once stored in it.","PeriodicalId":277894,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Digitization (ICD)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126081697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to design and propose quality-oriented apps, it is the primary responsibility of the developers to devote time and sufficient efforts towards testing to make the Apps bug free and operational in the hands of end users without any hiccup. In order to test the mobile apps, manual testing procedures takes prolonged amount of time in writing test cases and even the full testing requirements are not met. In addition to this, lack of sufficient knowledge by the tester also impacts overall quality and assurance that app is bug free. To overcome all the issues of testing, and to assure that apps designed by developers are almost bug free, we propose a new testing methodology cum tool “AgileUATM” which works primarily towards white-box and black-box testing. With this tool, all the test cases are generated automatically based on user stories and acceptance criteria by using formal specification and Z3 SMT solvers. To test the validity of the proposed tool, we applied the tool in real-time operational environment with regard to test Mobile apps. Using this tool, all the acceptance criteria is determined via user stories. The testers/developers specify requirements with formal specifications based on programs properties, predicates, invariants, and constraints. From the results, it is observed that the proposed tool i.e. AgileUATM generated effective and accurate test cases, test input, and expected output was generated in a unified fashion from the user stories to meet acceptance criteria. In addition to this, the tool also reduced the development time to identify test data as compared to manual Behavior Driven Development (BDD) methodologies. With this tool, the developers got better idea with regard to required tests and able to translate the customers natural languages to the computer language as well.","PeriodicalId":277894,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Digitization (ICD)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129488202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Information Communication Technology (ICT) is one such important factor to help society to build a more equitable, transparent and sustainable world by removing the communication disturbances and creating transparent and inclusive system. The present study finds the need to find out the imperatives for sustainable development in the era of Digitization. In the light of artificial intelligence, machine learning and digitization the scope of sustainable development depends on many non-traditional developmental indicators, which play a major role in the development of most developed nations. This study aims to find out these indicators, by understanding the development indicators of top ranked and high income countries with high innovation index scores. An attempt is made to understand the correlation between sustainable development goal SDG9 (Industry, infrastructure and Innovation) and Global Innovation Index scores in top ten GII ranked countries and BRICS by analyzing cross section data of various economic, social and technical development indicators published by UN, World Bank Reports for the year 2018. The trends in the variables indicate the need for more planned expenditure on ICT and R&D in order to build a robust ICT to prepare for digitization. The analysis also shows that ICT development indicators are highly correlated (R2 = 0.70 to 0.90) with GDP Per capita (PPP). This suggests that ICT has become a leading indicator for sustainable development, innovation and infrastructure.","PeriodicalId":277894,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Digitization (ICD)","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122603845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is enabling its citizens to be more responsive to change as and when it happens providing a wealth of timely data. The challenge for society in this era of digital transformation, Artificial Intelligence and machine learning is to use its opportunities not only to improve the quality of life but also its purpose. The UAE aims to be a successful smart city by harnessing digital innovation in all its endeavors. The UAE's National Agenda 2021 where four among six of the indicators embrace World Class Healthcare, Safe Public and Fair Judiciary, Cohesive Society and Preserved Identity, Sustainable Environment and Infrastructure. In line with this the research study is carried with an objective to study and gain insights to the approach prevalent in the region by medical practitioners in prescribing and by pharmacies in dispensing medication. Few of the challenges faced by patients and pharmacists when reading doctor's illegible prescriptions and the functioning of the pharmacies for dispensing medication to patients post doctors consultation is a cumbersome time taking practice. The study adapts a survey-based approach bagged by case-based analysis to strengthen its findings. The survey involved patients strictly over the age of twenty and major community pharmacies in the UAE. The prime aspects of the study focus on context control, awareness, security and trust processing perspectives under quality health care. On analysis of the data collated surfaced significant associations noticeable under context control wherein the current increase in wait time at pharmacies by patients, errors made in reading handwritten prescriptions and trusting the process of an online pharmacy. The results of this study indicate that retail pharmacists and patients are willing to switch to an online system of prescribing and buying medical necessities. The analysis of the study suggests a proposed model that will allow doctors to prescribe medication online to patients post consultation referred to as e-prescription that is integrated with an online pharmacy referred to as e-pharmacy that enables dispensing of medication after insurance approvals by the nearest pharmacy at the doorstep of the patient using a location based service in an effort to reduce patient waiting time at pharmacy and also evades prescription reading errors a practice of the past.
