The study shows that the particularities of distance education require a collective effort by all stakeholders so that one...
Technology and Engineering Management Activities induced the awareness of Work Systems (WS) in Business Conduction. During WS activities and decisions settings, typically technical perspectives are espoused heavily. Although, remedies of this kind require holistic approaches, such approaches are not very common. One of the main reasons for this inadequacy is the lack of conforming guidance. In this...
Firms rely more and more on external collaboration partners to reduce the R&D cost as well as shorten the product life cycle. Open innovation become a new paradigm for firms to become competitive in a highly dynamic business environment. Firm's collaboration partner extents from customers, suppliers to university, research institute, and even competitors, the resource based view hold that different...
Recently, the “All Hazard” paradigm gained a large interest in the framework of Critical Infrastructure Protection, stressing the importance to guarantee an adequate level of service continuity in spite of any type of negative events, ranging from natural disasters to technological faults, considering both accidental and malicious actions. However, such an approach makes more difficult the analysis...
The development of information flow has a major impact on communication, new multimedia technology has develop with incredible speed. For example the Internet has doubled the number of users and services every year since 1988. This is possible due to the fact that it has become less expensive to use and easily accessible. With the help of information and communication technology higher education institutes...
Social Networks and Archival Context (SNAC) is a multi-year research and demonstration project that aims to address the longstanding research challenge of discovering, locating, and using distributed historical resources. It also seeks to redefine traditional online access points for those resources, by exposing information about the people, families, and organizations who created them in addition...
Small-and Medium-Sized Audit Practices (SMP) in Poland face many challenges nowadays which are related to the legislation framework, public demands on quality of services, expectation of customers regarding low prices, competitors and impact of new technologies on accounting, financial reporting and auditing.

Ecology and human ecology environment are closely related, with very strong practicality, ecology has the widespread application value in natural science, social science and society development relevant to many aspects. Ecology also has an important guiding significance on the development of smart city management. Smart city system has similar structure and characteristics to ecological system, there...
The organization of classes and assessment system on the Personal Computer Applications (PCA) course, in the professional study of electrical engineering at the Polytechnic of Zagreb, is based on the Moodle system. Moodle is widely used open source application designed for e-learning. This system enables students to prepare for lectures and exercises, while emphasis is placed on their independent...
The objective of this paper is to propose a system-of-system framework for bottom-up assessment of complex engineering projects. The traditional project management paradigm is mainly based on centralized planning and control. The centralized planning and control are rooted in a reductionism perspective in which engineering projects are identified as monolithic systems while, in reality, complex engineering...
In the last few years, it has become common for organizations to document work practices by means of business processes diagrams. An analysis of the assumptions underlying process modeling, shows that this procedure pursues two seemingly contradictory goals: on the one hand, it aims at formalizing work practices into diagrams that set out a defined sequencing of activities, on the other, it seeks...

An abnormal narrowing of a blood vessel (stenosis) is investigated in this study. The present work provides a simulation of blood in a vessel with 50% stenosis. In addition, the effects of tissue surrounding the blood vessel on displacements and stresses in stenotic vessel wall are considered. The analysis consists of two distinct but coupled procedures: first, a fluid-dynamics analysis including...
In the last 10 years we have provided an interactive online course on Computer Architecture and Organization, which uses Online Learning and Interactive e-Assessment technology to support easier learning. The technology enabled an interactive environment which, checks student's knowledge and enables continuation to the next learning environment based on decision making criteria to check if sufficient...
