A Mobile Ad hoc NETwork is a kind of wireless ad-hoc network, and is a self configuring network of mobile routers connected by wireless links. Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is a wireless network without infrastructure. Self configurability and easy deployment feature of the MANET resulted in...

Software development projects are logically divided into phases that are composing the project life cycle. The name and number of these phases are industry dependent, so they are completely different from one field of activity to another. Typically, the phases are scheduled sequentially but in...

The work leads to an original approach to the construction of collaborative systems metrics. The approach is based both on research already conducted by the author, on the experimental results obtained, and the foundation taken from the specific literature. The collaborative systems in...

In a software factory, the applications are developed in the same way Henri Ford started manufacturing cars. In such a way, a customized solution could be obtained within a reasonable budget and within the foreseen timeframe. This development method offers a flexible solution that can be...

This study has investigated the productivity growth and efficiency of private and public providers of international education in New Zealand. It has used secondary data to calculate the DEA-based Malmquist productivity index for measuring Total Factor Productivity (TFP)-growth and efficiency of...

Software development projects are logically divided into phases that are composing the project life cycle. Typically, the phases are scheduled sequentially but in some cases a project may take clear advantages by running the phases concurrently. The most common phase-to-phase relation-ships are...

The base entity in computer programming is the process or task. The parallelism can be achieved by executing multiple processes on different processors. Distributed systems are managed by distributed operating systems that represent the extension for multiprocessor architectures of multitasking...

The Information System Analyze and Design Methodologies, starting with SSADM thru EISADM, are not close up with the rapid progress made by the audit activities. The methodologies must be improved in order to create the theoretical framework to guide the IT systems developers identifying and...

This paper starts describing the key concepts of collaborative systems and the impact of this to educational systems. There are presented the main properties and quality characteristics for the collaborative educational systems. For the main quality characteristic, like portability and...

E-learning systems usually require many hardware and software resources. There are many educational institutions that cannot afford such investments, and cloud computing is the best solution. This paper presents the impact on using cloud computing for e-learning solutions.
