Nowadays, manufacturers, as well as distributors, have a large amount of paper-based technical drawings. The development of information and communication technologies last year cause the task of such drawing digitalization. The task becomes popular 20 years ago in the research and development community (R&D) and now it is still opened since it has not been solved completely. Now there is a lot of scientific papers as well as a lot of commercial systems that have been created to support such a process. R&D community considers the following tasks: converting a raster drawing to vector, noise removing, etc. Some of them can recognize scanned drawings with good quality. The paper aims to analyze current research and developments for the raster drawings digitalization automation. We consider and analyze different approaches that allow supporting the digitalization process: neutral networks (YOLO, MFC-gan, AUTOFEAT, intelligent feature recognition methodology), graph theorybased approach, an algorithm based on a set of rules and Opitz coding system, an algorithm based on field losses of the surface and the concept of bridges. There is commercial software that supports the digitalization process for the PDF that has been exported from the CAD software. However, scanned image recognition does not work fine.

With the developments in Information and Communication Technologies, the competition now seems to be emerging on a global level rather than being on a national level. Communication, knowledge and information flow caused trade, production, consumption and any economic activity to originate the new competition and bond market opportunities on a national and global extent. The most dynamic and affective source of competition is to focus on the production of the new in today's Information Age. Mutual benefits rely mostly upon the technological developments and initiatives. Research and development activities gradually gain importance for the countries. In this paper, the data on research and development between Turkish Republic and Russian Federation is comparison and analyzed.

In this work, an exhaustive revision is given of the literature associated with advanced information and communication technologies in agriculture within a window of 25 years using bibliometric tools enabled to detect of the main actors, structure, and dynamics in the scientific papers. The main findings are a trend of growth in the dynamics of publications associated with advanced information and communication technologies in agriculture productivity. Another assertion is that countries, like the USA, China, and Brazil, stand out in many publications due to allocating more resources to research, development, and agricultural productivity. In addition, the collaboration networks between countries are frequently in regions with closer cultural and idiomatic ties; additionally, terms’ occurrence are obtained with Louvain algorithm predominating four clusters: precision agriculture, smart agriculture, remote sensing, and climate smart agriculture. Finally, the thematic-map characterization with Callon’s density and centrality is applied in three periods. The first period of thematic analysis shows a transition in detecting the variability of a nutrient, such as nitrogen, through the help of immature georeferenced techniques, towards greater remote sensing involvement. In the transition from the second to the third stage, the maturation of technologies, such as unmanned aerial vehicles, wireless sensor networks, and the machine learning area, is observed.

The essence of the processes of digitalization in the field of science of Russia has been considered, the specific issues of adaptation of science to the demands of the information society have been revealed, the readiness of the Informatization process of the Russian scientific sphere has been assessed. The criteria for the formation of the potential of digital technologies used in scientific and design work have been evaluated. The statistics of the state of development of high and knowledge-intensive technologies in General and information and communication technologies used in research and development, in particular, has been adduced.The complexities of determining indicators and classification of information and communication technologies used have been reviewed. The approaches to determining the statistics of the number of employees employed in computer science and related industries have been presented. The indicators of development of research and developments in the field of digital technologies have been investigated. The distribution of the employed in various sectors of the national economy has been given. An increase in the cost of importing technologies has been noted, which indicates a rise in the country’s technological dependence on sources of external (foreign) technologies. It has been noticed, that in the field of information and communication technologies, Russia had a significant profit from technology exports, which indicates the progressiveness of scientific developments in the field of digital technologies. The issues of financing research and development, shortcomings in the incentive mechanisms of the methods used and sources of funding have been considered. The state of educational processes, that form the personnel component of the digitalization of the economy, has been analysed.The results of information activity in the field of research and development will allow us to draw a conclusion about the lack of readiness of the sphere of research and development in the field of information and communication technologies in the organization of promotion and dissemination of digital technologies in the scientific field.

The academic career and the stages of promotion of teachers and field researchers at the Egyptian universities as well as at many research centers available in Egypt's 26 provinces is guided by a set of rules and regulations that mainly depend on the number of publications that the researcher is producing in a specific period of time. It is also important to note that such publications should be published in well-known and accredited journals, transactions, and conference proceedings amongst others. These publications could be produced jointly with other institutions both locally and internationally. In all scenarios, one common problem always prevails, that is resources and funding. As for funding it is occasionally provided through international donors such as the European Union and the National Science Foundation. However, the problem remains in the local segment where various barriers are slowing down if not blocking the production of up-to-standard publications and research projects that are needed to contribute to the overall development of various sectors both quantitatively and qualitatively. Example barriers would include financial resources, required specialized equipment, as well as computing (hardware and software) and communication resources. In that respect, Scientific Computer Software Applications (SCSA) is becoming frequently the workhorse of research and development activities. Many software packages have been released to help researchers analyze and produce scientific publications. Most of these packages have a complicated design as well as expensive making it difficult to buy and not easy to understand by the user. Egypt, a developing country, lacks funding for research and development activities as compared to the United States and other European countries. The lack of financial resources and the scarcity of required resources make it difficult for academic researchers to build and excel in their academic careers. This paper demonstrates a new model namely; Virtual Research System (VRS), that is free from limitations of spatial distance and time and based mainly on information and communication technologies including the Internet to help leverage the quality and the quantity of academic researchers in Egyptian universities both locally as well as through collaborative work with other international research institutions. The paper provides an opportunity to share a wealth of information and knowledge that was never tapped before through the old accustomed to traditional techniques. The paper also demonstrates that new information and communication technologies are creating many challenges and opportunities for growth in different disciplines including research and development.

The use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in spatial planning is contemporary of the development of computers, and has benefited from the possibilities that ICT brought in terms of data processing and visualisation, with the development of geographical information systems (GIS) being the most successful and widespread example of this relationship. Today, there is a myriad of new ICT being developed based on the existence of a large and affordable computational capacity and on the seemingly infinite data made available. And yet, there is still (and there is scientific evidence of) a large gap between the research and development of ICT and their effective use in the professional practice in planning. In this chapter, the authors discuss the main roots of this gap and present some of the main challenges that researchers and practitioners will face to take advantage of the resources available to effectively reduce that gap.
