Abstract: Being a highly significant and complex function of management, decision making requires methods and techniques which simplify the process of selecting one choice among all available options. Decision making is therefore selection of that particular choice over any of several alternatives. Due to the process complexity, a continuous research and improvement of the methods and techniques modern decision making involves is required. One of many modern business challenges is to discover any possible improvement in the decision making process managers shall use in making the right decision. Any decision made by managers directly impacts the realized profit, business and company’s position on the market. The contribution of the paper is showing the importance of association rules in modern decision-making.

Abstract: Until recently, the approaches of creating domain specific languages "from scratch" and extending existing languages represented adverse solutions that cannot be integrated in a unique model driven process. The main reason was the lack of a suitable formal theoretical framework that, based on the domain specific languages metamodel, enables the automatic generation of a final number of syntactically valid metamodel extensions. In this paper, the use of the Pivot metamodel concept is described. This metamodel enables the transformation of elements from one metamodel into extensions of another, regardless the compatibility level of their meta-metamodel. The rules and restrictions for transforming random models into the Pivot metamodel are also presented.

Abstract: In this paper, the ratio of the Rician random variable and the product of two Rayleigh random variables is considered. Moreover, the average level crossing rate of the ratio using Laplace approximation formula for two-fold integrals is calculated. Obtained results can be applied in performance analysis of wireless mobile communication system operating over LOS (line-of-sight) multipath fading channel in the presence of CCI (co-channel interference) which originate from wireless relay communication system with two sections subjected to NLOS (non line-of-sight) multipath fading. The influence of different system parameters on the average level crossing rate of the ratio of Rician random variable and product of two Rayleigh random variables is graphically presented and discussed.

Abstract: Reengineering means radically rethinking the processes. In this sense, the objective of this article is to propose a conceptual model of a method of modeling processes adapted to Higher Education Institutions - HEI, based on the BPR - Business Process Reengineering. HEI is a type of company that has activity in order to provide services, but their operations have specific characteristics and a high level of complexity. The method can be applied in different processes in an HEI, because it covers specifics of the activity for possible significant improvements. To develop the method, concepts such Operations Strategy added to concepts of Business Process Management, based on the reengineering of processes were applied. The key advantage is that the application of proposed method, can ensure that the process is aligned with the strategy. For the application of the method 6 stages are defined. Therefore, the method can add the strategic result.

Abstract: A very important aspect of the software development process is the cost of completing the software project. The development of the user interface is a significant part of such a process. Typically, the graphical user interface of an interactive system represents about 48% of the source code, requires about 45% of the development time and 50% of the implementation time. Therefore, if this part of the software development process can be automated in some way, it can reduce the cost of a software project. In this paper we propose a small domain-specific language for specification of a graphical user interface and present a generator for Java desktop applications. The generator should facilitate the development of a software system by automatic creation of immutable code and creation of variable code based on parameters of the input specification of the generator. For this purpose we have used an Xtext open-source framework. A small but representative example is shown to describe the whole process.

Abstract: This paper aims to describe a methodological approach to creating ontology that should assist in creation of state development strategies and corresponding action plans (ORS). The ultimate goal of the ontology is to provide semantic description of development strategies, as well as action plans for provincial administrative bodies, i.e., basis for formal, machine-readable representation of development priorities, specific goals as well as answers to questions such as: what development priorities are, how they will be implemented, who is responsible for their implementation, and why they are being implemented in the first place. The proposed approach enables a common dictionary of terms describing the goals and priorities in the process of strategic planning to be formed, which could in turn be used by all participants involved in strategic planning.

Abstract: In this paper we propose a method for optical recognition and symbolic differentiation of printed mathematical expressions. Many areas of science use differential calculus as a mechanism to model and formally represent the dynamics of many processes. Function derivation process can be pretty exhausting, especially if we need to use it too often. Basically, it’s based on the set of derivation rules which makes it suitable for automation and we will use that fact. Furthermore, to make the derivation process even faster, we will try to recognize the mathematical expression by taking a photograph of it, so the user will not have to enter complicated mathematical expressions. Maximum potential of this kind of system can be achieved by using it on a mobile platform where the user already has a mechanism to take photographs of mathematical expressions and differentiate them wherever he is. It could be used in scientific purposes to speed up the calculation process. On the other hand, it could be very helpful to students, who could check if their calculations are valid.

Abstract: The effects of exposure to radon on workers and members of the public have been examined for many years. Recent advances have been made in evaluating the risk associated with radon exposure and in implementing remediation programs in dwellings. However, decisions about whether to implement countermeasures to reduce radon exposures may benefit from an enhanced capability to evaluate and understand the associated health risk. This research presents the development of a user friendly software package based upon current information on radon epidemiology, radon dissymmetry, demography, and countermeasure efficiency. The software has been designed to perform lung cancer risk calculations specific to populations for various exposure profiles and to evaluate, in terms of risk reduction, the efficiency of various countermeasures in dwellings. This paper presents an overview of the general structure of the software and outlines its most important modeling approaches. In this context, software has been developedbased upon current information on radon epidemiology, radon dissymmetry, radon exhalation rates, radon concentration and indoor ventilation rates. The software has been designed to perform lung cancer risk calculations for various exposure profiles and to evaluate, in terms of risk reduction, the efficiency of ventilation in dwellings. This paper presents an overview of the general structure of the software and outlines its most important modeling approaches.

Abstract: The work presents a proposal of a computational tool applied to simulate synthetically built failures over skull bone images for use in prosthesis modelling studies. The main goal is to produce failures from known geometries to evaluate different filling processes used in bone repairing. The method is applied to the modelling of 3D prosthesis from computed tomography scans. A prototype software was developed as a plugin in Java based image processor (ImageJ). The key advantage is that testing failures can be built in a public domain image. Also the respective virtual prosthesis can be fully modeled and evaluated during study or surgical training. By using the lateral symmetry of skull, we applied a mirroring method as a study case to demonstrate the process, from the simulation of a failure up to evaluation of the solution.

Abstract: Biofeedback applications can prove useful in many areas of human activity. For example, with a system for motion tracking and the use of biofeedback one can be guided to learn the proper movement or informed of its improper execution. This could be especially useful in sports and rehabilitation. In a biofeedback system the feedback information is communicated back to the user, preferably in real time, through one of the human senses: sight, touch, and hearing. The implemented movement tracking biofeedback system requires: inertial sensor(s), a processing device and a biofeedback device. Today smartphones are readily available and more often than not include inertial sensors. The development of a smartphone based biofeedback application is therefore a logical step. The developed application tracks head movements during the execution of the golf swing. Improper head movements are detected and communicated back to the user in real time in a form of audio signals. The user acts on received biofeedback signals trying to correct the improper movement. Extensive measurements and tests were performed to confirm the correct and accurate operation of the application. The usefulness and advantages of real-time biofeedback during the golf swing execution were identified. Golf players with excessive and improper head movements considerably improved their performance after the inclusion of the biofeedback. We believe that such biofeedback systems are applicable to similar examples in sport, fitness, healthcare, and other areas of activity.

Abstract: Cochlea is part of the inner ear. The role of the cochlea is to transform outer acoustic signal into electrical impulse which is further transmitted to the brain. Two important phenomena taking place inside the cochlea: transformation of outer acoustic signal into mechanical vibration and transforming of mechanical vibration into electrical impulse which is further transmitted to the brain. Cochlea has coiled shape like snail shell. Inside cochlea there are several parts, but from aspect of mechanics, the most significant parts are two fluid chambers: scala vestibuli and scala tympani [1] and elastic basilar membrane between them. The focus of this study is on mechanical part of the cochlea. Acoustic signal can get to the cochlea in two ways: through outer ear canal and trough the bones. First way is well known. The second one means that sound signal can get into cochlea traveling through the bones of skeleton. For example, acoustic excitation can be applied on some other part of the body and acoustic wave will come into cochlea through the bones. Objective of this work is to investigate effects of conduction of acoustic signals in these two ways. In this work simplified 3D finite element model of the cochlea was used. We assumed that shape of the cochlea doesn’t affect on mechanical response of the basilar membrane [6].
