The modern shipping industry has reached maturity; market demand and landscape shifts force industry agents to find new pathways to successful development. The Northern Sea Route (NSR) as a new pathway between Europe and Asia brings both opportunities and challenges to global logistics systems. These circumstances make commercial exploitation of the route a subject of intense focus in many countries actively involved in sea transportation.

This book identifies specific problems and provides possible solutions to them by calling on the accumulated knowledge of researchers and practitioners with competencies from diverse areas, including transport and logistics, Arctic studies, IT and digital technologies, socio-economic systems analysis, hydrocarbon production, transport, business modeling, design of information systems and applications, and engineering requirements for IT services. It represents the integrated experience and expertise of researchers from Canada, Germany, Russia, and the Netherlands, including experts from oil and gas enterprises, shipping lines, logistics companies, and IT companies. 

This book is a collection of best selected research papers from the “Digital Technologies in Logistics and Infrastructure” conference (ICDT-2021). The topics of the presented papers are related to various aspects, problems, and solutions in maritime, transport, warehouse logistics, digital transformation, and information technologies in logistics, as well as digital transformation of infrastructure industries from theoretical and practical points of view. The authors of the conference are representatives of major companies, researchers, and scientists from Russia, Hungary, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Thailand, the Netherlands, and Finland. The conference proceedings are of interest to researchers and practitioners in the field of logistics and infrastructure in various sectors of digitalization.

Various socio-demographic, medical, technological, and managerial trends determine the emergence and development of the concept of the “Smart Hospital”, as well as the development and implementation of appropriate complex architectural models in the management practice of medical organizations. In turn, such medical organizations require an innovative health care ecosystem to provide medically and economically efficient healthcare services.

This book examines various approaches to the modern healthcare system to provide an effective internal environment for the medical organization as well as an effective external environment for better interaction with all stakeholders of the greater healthcare system. It addresses the challenges of digital technology adoption in specialized areas (e.g., cardiology, surgery, neonatology, etc.) and of the dissemination of knowledge, technology, innovation, and entrepreneurial initiatives as well as communication between stakeholders. It then explores the development of the Smart Hospital by analyzing the internal architecture of medical organizations, key factors of their transformation, architecture of IT and digital technologies and data-driven management. Finally, this book explores the ways in which entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial leadership promote innovation and well-being in different organizational contexts, with special emphasis on human resource management, intellectual capital, and abusive leadership of public, social, and business sector contexts.

Digital transformation and energy transition are undoubtedly the key trends of the last decade that are fundamentally changing the way countries, regions and the global community conduct their economic activities. At first glance, these are phenomena of completely different nature. The editors and authors of the book offer a closer look at the specifics of the development of each trend, the nature of their interdependence, analyze the possibilities of coexistence, and determine the potential effects of such technological symbiosis.

The book is characterized by an original, interdisciplinary statement of the problem: description of various aspects of effective interaction between elements of energy and information-technology/digital infrastructures that jointly ensure information needs and compliance with energy efficiency requirements of the modern economy. At the same time, attention is paid to each technological trend separately, as well as to the possibilities of interaction between technological capabilities of energy and digital. International author teams of professionals in different fields offer an interesting perspective on certain aspects of modern technological development of various industries.The book will be of interest to both experienced researchers, undergraduate and graduate students, and practitioners, both energy and IT specialists and even mathematicians.
