In the current situation of switching to the innovation-based development of economy, the role of education and personnel training is rapidly increasing. It is especially true for the sphere of financial management and innovative entrepreneurship. The necessity of specialist training is determined by the changes in this sphere. New mechanisms and models of finance are being implemented every day,...
In this paper some directions of innovation activity in the system of engineering education are analyzed. The scheme of innovative engineering education is suggested which takes into account different technologies and directions of specialist training. Unless additional measures for protection of interests of the national education are taken, Russia's accession to the WTO can have more negative than...
The goal of the paper is to study how the strictly optimal solutions of community detection, based on similarity matrices, depend on the parameter of the distance threshold setting method, applied beforehand. In order to detect communities, we apply the oft-used modularity metric and arrive at strict optimality by linear programming, solving an np-hard problem. The distance threshold method is used,...
Recent studies emphasize the needs of a wider set of skills engineers require than ever thought. In this paper, authors report on a systematic literature review on this issue. Findings of the review are spanned over two main folds: 1- A conceptual ontological framework of engineering skills in the context of generic- and employability- skills of KBS and KBEs citizens and workforce, and 2- A global...
Over the last decade, several research initiatives investigate the potentials of the educational paradigm shift from the traditional one-size-fits-all teaching approaches to adaptive and personalized learning. On the other hand, mobile devices are recognized as an emerging technology with the potential to facilitate teaching and learning strategies that exploit individual learners' context. This has...
Currently, Self-study Examination has become an important part of the social examination, but the features of self-exam such as dispersion, complexity and diversity make itself difficult to meet the needs of the examinees and the needs of information management. Therefore, this article adopts the idea of cloud computing to analyze the requirements of self-exam information, and presents a cloud computing-oriented...
Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) software supports a wide variety of domains including nuclear physics, crash simulation, satellite data processing, fluid dynamics, climate modeling, bioinformatics, and vehicle development. The increases importance of CSE software motivates the need to identify and understand appropriate software engineering (SE) practices for CSE. Because of the uniqueness...
The accounting profession has now becoming more demanding as businesses move towards satisfying challenging environment and needs by the society. The modern professional accountant needs both hard and soft skills and the future accountants are said to need training in ethics and objectivity. Thus, educational systems will require to constantly be updated in order to meet such demand. Questionnaires...
Discusses how the Internet can fundamentally change the creation and distribution of information. Recently, another opportunity for fundamental change has become apparent. That is, the potential of the Internet to fundamentally alter the creation and distribution of physical goods. In particular, the Internet, combined with new digital technologies, can break down financial and educational barriers...
We examine the gamification debate of recent years and we propose an alternative, heuristic definition for gamification in learning situations. After considering several critiques of the gamification concept, we privilege in our definition ‘interaction’ over ‘motivation’, ‘simple gameplay’ over ‘game mechanics’, and we highlight the diverse and changing behaviors of user/players. We re-define gamification...
Cloud computing is a relative new technology that has various advantages, including specific applicable to education. In this paper, we discuss the influence of cloud computing on learners, teachers and educational institutions. Cloud computing, especially with relation to mobile learning, will improve the current institutional system of education, and also the quality and affordability of education...
Social media tools are used by firms to create and capture business value. In this study, we synthesize emerging literature on social commerce, social media, and the diffusion of innovation to identify the role that organizational, managerial and environmental characteristics of SMEs play in the adoption of Twitter. To test the model, we administered a survey to 453 SME mangers from the United States,...
Simulation games have been utilized as an educational tool in order to complement the traditional teaching methods. They have been widely applied in the teaching of different subjects such as business management, nursing, and medicine. This paper proposes a new simulation game which simulates a production system that consists of a set of machines, conveyors, and other components. The objective of...
Adoption of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) by enterprises has become a norm. CSR has achieved great traction in its endeavor to do social good for the society at large. Though the main purpose of existence of business is to maximize shareholder's wealth, CSR provides an opportunity for enterprises to leverage upon the existing technological advances in the creation of a better society. However,...
Serv-U is a widely used FTP server software. This article analyzed the problems of Serv-U and introduced an ASP.NET based solution for FTP remote management system, which is aimed to solve the existing problems and make Serv-U easier to be used and managed.
In this paper, consideration is given to extending an existing on-line tutorial system in order to understand the user experience with the tutorial by including analysis of the tool use. The areas of web analytics and learning analytics will be considered and used. Reference to how web analytics tools are used and the features they provide will be made. Features of available analytics tools will be...
The paper describes our web publication of visual teaching materials for business mathematics. The objective of the web site is to familiarize students with our visual approach for business mathematics at early stage. The significant advantage of visualization is that seeing the materials leads to better understanding of the mathematical process. Even if the students cannot understand the algebraic...
Workflows are ubiquitous in educational ERP and process management. The question we address in this paper is how to specify and design verifiable workflows for educational processes. To specify workflows, we borrow a simple algebraic notation from computer science. We illustrate the use of this notation through a series of typical workflow examples. We show how an algebraic specification is more expressive...
A new variable separation in the (G′/G)-expansion algorithm is introduced to obtain the solutions for a nonlinear Broer-Kaup system with variable coefficient. Control based on the variable coefficient is studied for the system. Different variable coefficient functions greatly influence the traveling way, velocity and amplitude of the solutions. Visualized effects are plotted.
Cloud computing service has become the newest application of the computer revolution. While many people still don¡¦t know much about the benefit of it, yet the techniques could be applied to one¡¦s life by bio-detection and open-software. Cloud-Computing helps provide the best efficiency for human beings, and it presents acquisition (user interface service), business (marketing driven usage), access...
