The goal of this investigation is to examine the types of project management criteria used in projects in Norway. The results suggest that investigated projects are managed using an incomplete set of success criteria. Projects are poorly aligned with corporate strategies and users needs. They are poorly initiated and focus only on narrow operational goals. The results also indicate that these criteria...
HW/SW Codesign [4] is a strategy to develop highly optimized systems composed of both electronics hardware and software. Examples are smartphones, consumer electronics or embedded systems. The challenge is to achieve an optimized split by partitioning the system components into hardware and software and to achieve the best project execution time (and cost) by developing both hardware and software...
The aim of this paper is to analyze the future perspectives of the new technologies of Concentrated Solar Power systems (CSP) systems. The author proves that new CSP technologies like the “Central Receiver and Parabolic Trough” can be used as a key instrument for secure and affordable Energy Supply in Europe by the DESERTEC project.
Project management, measurement and control systems are the issues that the paper below focuses on. The article includes following topics: the importance of project management (Chapter II), the concept of the new project management methodology (Chapter III), four pillars of the methodology (team organization, life cycle, time management, processes) (Chapter IV), description of the experiment that...
This article is devoted to the creation of an effective system of counteraction to shadow economy by the introduction of the currency relation of cash money to non-cash money, and construction of the registration and analysis mechanism of all monetary flow.
Evolutional algorithms are an excellent optimization tool performing well in such tasks where classic methods have no use. In this thesis the use of those algorithms in stock control was presented for the problem of stochastic function of cost criterion. Such functions are used in case of random demand with a constant delivery period. The operation of this algorithm was presented on the example strongly...
This paper discusses fault detection and diagnostics in a solar power plant. After reviewing relevant work, description of a data acquisition system for solar plant monitoring is presented and the list of potential faults to be taken care of is given. Then Bayesian belief network is built to intelligently reason about potential causes of faults detected. Finally, a practical implementation of a computer...
This paper considers a method of separating the acoustic signals of mechanical devices by using independent component analysis (ICA) with a band-pass filter. The frequency distribution of a recorded acoustic signal of the operating mechanical device can be divided into three fields such as the low, the medium, and the high-frequency fields. Since only the medium-frequency components are the mixture...
This paper represents the artificial neural network's method of design results evaluation and software quality characteristics prediction (NMEP) and the analysis of results of realized artificial neural network (ANN) training and functioning.
The aim of this paper is to describe the method used to analyze timing properties of a Linux-based CAN-to-CAN gateway and to briefly present some of the analysis results. The considered gateway, implemented as an embedded system, can significantly simplify rapid prototyping of CAN-based distributed systems such as those used in automotive applications. The main interest was to measure the latencies...
FlexRay is an incoming standard for automotive distributed systems. For safety critical applications like x-by-wire systems it is necessary to develop techniques for their verification and validation. This paper presents a model of FlexRay Synchronization Mechanism, validation of this model and offers its usage for validation of parameters of synchronization mechanism in real FlexRay networks.
In these days the term power quality becomes to be significant in industry. Many manufacturers develop equipment for measuring the quality of electrical energy for various applications. However, the qualitative requirements for the operation of these devices are still not precisely defined. So it is not an exception that different manufacturers differently interpret requirements. Then it is more difficult...
