5th International Conference on ICT Innovations
Information communication technologies have become the necessity in everyday life enabling increased level of communication, processing and information exchange to extent that one could not imagine only a decade ago. Innovations in these technologies open new fields in areas such as: language processing, biology, medicine, robotics, security, urban planning, networking, governance and many others. The applications of these innovations are used to define services that not only ease, but also increase the quality of life. Good education is essential for establishing solid basis of individual development and performance. ICT is integrated part of education at every level and type. Therefore, the special focus should be given to possible deployment of the novel technologies in order to achieve educational paradigms adapted to possible educational consumer specific and individual needs. This book offers a collection of papers presented at the Fifth International Conference on ICT Innovations held in September 2013, in Ohrid, Macedonia. The conference gathered academics, professionals and practitioners in developing solutions and systems in the industrial and business arena especially innovative commercial implementations, novel applications of technology, and experience in applying recent ICT research advances to practical solutions
MathML-aware Article Conversion from LaTeX
summary:Publishing in Mathematics and theoretical areas in Computer Science and Physics has been predominantly using TeX/LaTeX as a formatting language in the last two decades. This large corpus of born-digital material is both a boon — LaTeX is semi-semantic format where the source often contains indications of the author’s intentions — and a problem — TeX is Turing-complete and authors use this freedom to use thousands of styles and millions of user macros. Several tools have been developed to convert TeX/LaTeX documents to XML-based — i.e. Web and DML-compatible formats. Different DML Projects use different tools, and the selection seems largely accidental. To put the choice of converters for DML projects onto a more solid footing and to encourage competition and feature convergence we survey the market. In this paper we investigate and compare five LaTeX-to-XML transformers in three dimensions: ) ergonomic factors like documentation, ease of installation, ) coverage, and ) quality of the resulting documents (in particular the MathML parts)
