Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0 are reshaping the way organizations function and interact with the communities they serve. The massive penetration of computer and network applications forces organizations to digitalize their processes and provide innovative products, services, and business models. The education market is suffering changes as well, but universities seem slow to react. This paper proposes the application of an integrated digital transformation model to assess the maturity level that educational institutions have in their digital transformation processes and compares them to other industries. Particular considerations to address when using the model for higher-education institutions are discussed. Our results show that universities fall behind other sectors, probably due to a lack of effective leadership and changes in culture. This is complemented negatively by an insufficient degree of innovation and financial support.

The biggest disadvantage of using chain code techniques is the generation of low definition contour shapes, in this paper we present the Extended Slope Chain Code (ESCC) which is an improvement on the Slope Chain Code (SCC). The ESCC is focused on the representation of high definition contour shapes. Generally speaking, most chain codes hold the length of the straight-line segments which represent the contour shape as a constant. In this case, the contour shapes represented by ESCC are composed of variable segments, which allow us to have a better description of the contour shape. Thus, the length of the segments are a function of the slope changes, i.e. the length of the next segment depends on the value of the slope change at that point. Therefore, the ESCC is continuously adjusting to the curvature requirements of contour shapes, in order to have a better description of contour shapes.
