English abstract:
This paper deals with the efficiency of publication means within the scientific
community. Scientists spend a substantial part of their total time in visiting
meetings and conferences, reading publications, writing emails, etc. Thus any
improvements in the communication processes, in particular technologies which
minimize non-value adding activities such as tedious retrieving of source material
from library shelves, could have far-reaching (positive) consequences. In
this respect a customized solution for the digitalization of paper-based conference
proceedings is presented. The process of creating electronic copies of
papers - disseminating knowledge on CAAD - in pdf-format is described as
well as the respective decisions which were taken in this context.
