Gajin Slavko, Hackett Robert, Galeazzi Fulvio, Pagaime João
Abstract: The emergence of cloud services and technologies is providing the education and research community with many new and innovative ways to help institutions meet their user’s requirements. Cloud services bring many opportunities and benefits but are complex and present many challenges and risks. A well-defined strategy is essential to define the right approach to navigate through the many options and decisions required to provide successful cloud services. In this paper we do not propose a strategy for adopting cloud services for research and education institutions. Instead, we propose a methodology to guideline policy makers in research and education institutions to define an effective strategy to help ensure success in adopting cloud services.

143. ERP AND COMPETITIVE INTELLIGENCE SYSTEMS IN AGILITY OF ORGANIZATION: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW

ICIST 2015 Proceedings Part II, 370-374
Debeljački Ružica, Tumbas Pere, Šereš Laslo
Abstract: Business failure of the organization may be caused by its inability to adapt its business operations to the changes in the market requirements. This leads to a conclusion that today’s turbulent business conditions impose the need to increase the level of agility of the organization. Agility is defined as the ability of organization to adapt to different business conditions. Thus, a solution should be looked for in the IT systems such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Competitive Intelligence (CI). The reason why exactly these two systems have been chosen is their focus of analysis. ERP systems are specialized for the analysis of organization’s business operations, and CI systems have been developed in order to analyze the environment. Therefore, the organization can analyze all business operations by using these two systems. The aim of this paper was to determine whether a synergy of these two systems can contribute to higher level of organization’s agility. This paper shows systematic analysis of literature which aim was to determine the contribution of the ERP and CI systems to the agility of the organization and to consider the possibilities of their synergy when used parallelly in today’s conditions of successful business operations. This was achieved by considering 35 chosen (selected) scientific papers. The results of analysis showed that the ERP systems, according to most of the authors, do not contribute to the agility of the organization, and the CI systems are the ones which are the most significant component of agility. This synergy can exert influence on the modification of existing business policy or establishment of a new one which would be based both on the analysis of previous business operations and the analysis of business environment, and as a result the organization would have higher level of agility. Based on the obtained results, this paper offers theoretical basis for further research, particularly empirical research, which aim would be to determine the degree of synergy that the ERP and CI systems have in some organizations and their correlations with accomplished (achieved) level of agility of those organizations.

148. Ontological Model of the Standardized Secondary School Curriculum in Informatics

ICIST 2015 Proceedings Part II, 397-401
Mandić Milinko, Konjović Zora, Ivanović Mirjana
Abstract: The paper proposes ontological model of standardized secondary school curriculum in informatics. The model was created based on the ACM K12 CS curriculum proposal using competencies designed for the secondary level of education. The base class of ontological model is Competence with two direct subclasses (Knowledge and Skills). Skills are represented by classes corresponding to the categories of the cognitive process dimension of the revised Bloom's taxonomy. In addition to standardization of curriculum relying on ACM K12 CS curriculum model, a machine-readable representation that facilitates manipulation of the curriculum through applications intended for specific users (teachers, experts, administrative bodies, etc.) is proposed.

Igić Nemanja, Dimitrieski Vladimir, Luković Ivan, Aleksić Slavica, Čeliković Milan
Abstract: In this paper we present an algorithm for filtering Twitter data based on the tweet geographic location. Desired geographic locations are provided as a set of parameters, and different properties of a tweet are considered to determine the location. A user may also choose the number of threads and amount of memory used in filtering process. In this way, the user may fine-tune the algorithm performance. Filtered data are stored in the Hadoop distributed file system which runs on a 16 nodes cluster. Therefore, the analysis may be executed in a distributed environment. We also present system architecture which supports the filtering process and analysis of filtered data.

150. Automatic data extraction from radargrams

ICIST 2015 Proceedings Part II, 408-412
Ristić Aleksandar, Radulović Aleksandra, Govedarica Miro, Vrtunski Milan
Abstract: Radargrams are result of acquisition with GPR scanning technology. Most of underground utilities has cylindrical shape and is represented in radargrams by hyperbolic signatures. In this paper a new automated procedure for hyperbolic signatures detection and data extraction in radargrams is proposed. Extracted data is the set of points which represents vectorized form of hyperbolic reflections. Resulting data from automated procedure were later used to simultaneously estimate the radius of a cylindrical object and the wave propagation velocity based on fitted hyperbola geometries. Estimation of geometry parameters and wave propagation velocity from extracted set of points is a complete solution for underground utility and soil characterization. A number of experiments showed that the procedure is robust to various types of influences.

153. Measurement QoS Parameters of VoIP Codecs as a Function of the Network Traffic Level

ICIST 2015 Proceedings Part II, 422-426
Jocić Jugoslav, Veličković Zoran
Abstract: This paper analyzes the effect of the level of network traffic to the implementation QoS parameters of VoIP service in the LAN. We analyzed the number of dropped packets and packet delay variation for ten simultaneous VoIP connections. Manage Connections are made using the Asterisk VoIP server and several typical codecs are analyzed. Basic QoS parameters of VoIP services are measured in terms of variable network traffic. Measuring results clearly indicate that the number of dropped packets increases with increasing intensity of network traffic, and that very little depends on the user's VoIP codecs. On the other hand, the variation of packet delay crucial role has a selection of VoIP codecs is shown. In the realized experiment, all QoS parameters were in the preserved required limits.

Abstract: The Internet of Things for Healthcare (Healthcare-IoT) includes medical sensor devices as new sources of health information, new technologies and applications for remote diagnostics and monitoring of patients, equipment, drugs. Smart services for healthcare, anywhere and anytime, will bring the future of healthcare services, as a new level of healthcare. This paper considers the Healthcare-IoT through architectural layers and observes the users of the healthcare system in the context of a complex healthcare system which is integrated and whose traditional healthcare services need to be expanded with new functionalities of Healthcare-IoT such as sensing, tracking and monitoring, identification, authentication, automatic data collection. The technologies that should enable an IoT solution for healthcare are presented through architectural layers. The new business model and scenario should include valuable information in the existing healthcare services and choose the technologies that best match the desired model. Sensors and sensor networks, as well as new technologies, need to enable smart objects of healthcare to feel and change the environment, implement activities, communicate in real-time and share information. The data collected should be reliable, safe, processed in real time and analyzed, and they should provide a wealth of intelligence for planning, management and decision-making in the healthcare system. Many challenges for Healthcare- IoT, such as the interoperability during the integration with the inherited systems and electronic health records (EHR), need to be resolved. A holistic approach to designing Healthcare-IoT solutions and interdisciplinary knowledge should remove the gap between individual technology solutions and the integrated healthcare system expanded with IoT functionalities.
