Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The digitalization of processes has gained great prominence in research essentially due to the added advantages it provides in improving efficiency and automating control. Furthermore, digital transformation implies a deeper analysis of installed systems, leading to the identification of gaps in processes, which, in turn, can give rise to innovations in the way these processes are conducted. The need imposed by the market to make processes more flexible implies that there is a strong innovation component, which can be accelerated by digital transformation. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to bring together cutting-edge work in the investigation of new methodologies for accelerating digital transformation and innovation in processes, both industrial and in the services sector. Original research or review work, properly structured, will be welcome, as well as case studies of success in the development of digital transformation or innovation in processes with a view to increasing efficiency.
