CONFERENCE ON  “DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION SYSTEMS”, SUCEAVA, 21 – 23 MAY 1998
 
 

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering organized the Fourth International Conference on “Development and Application Systems” attended by distinguished scholars from Romania, Germany, the United States of America, France, Russia, Italy, Belgium, Iran, Portugal and Moldavia. The papers presented covered the following areas:
 

•  Digital Systems in Process Control  32 papers
•  Electrical Drives Control     11 papers
•  Data Transmission & Protocols  20 papers
•  Computer Aided Design   15 papers
•  Artificial Intelligence      9 papers

The number of articles published in 1998 has increased by 10% as compared to 1996. To put it differently, 52 articles were written by Romanian scholars and 33 articles by foreign collaborators. Two articles were written in co-authorship.
The papers were published in the two volumes of our biennial publication entitled “Development and Application Systems” (ISSN 1222-7234).

Abstract. The classical methods used to realistically render 3D scenes are “ray tracing” and “radiosity”. These methods are known for the huge amount of processor time they require in order to obtain high resolution, true colour images. The paper describes three application architectures suitable to be used to accelerate the image synthesis process. This study will be used to build an adequate application architecture for a distributed realistic image synthesis system that will be developed at the Computer Science Department of POLITEHNICA University Bucharest.
Keywords: image synthesis, global illumination algorithms, ray tracing, radiosity, parallel algorithms, distributed computing.

Abstract. Changing market demands, globalisation of markets, and the introduction of new technologies, especially ICT lead to new ways of working. One example is collaboration between organisations for the duration of a project to be able to flexibly react to customer and market demands. Such collaborations are currently called Virtual Enterprises.
In practice, such collaboration projects often run out of time and budget. A frequently mentioned cause for this phenomenon is that collaboration and communication is far from optimal. Management tools to improve collaboration and communication are, however, still lacking often leading to ad-hoc or even wrong decisions.
 In this paper, we present an approach to developing tools to support management of Virtual Enterprises to organise, manage, and improve the work needed to achieve the goals set. We especially focus on a model to support the analysis of Virtual Organisations. The model is part of the deliverables of the Esprit project FREE (Fast Reactive Extended Enterprise). The model focuses on the creation of conditions for collaboration and communication.
The FREE project  has the goal to develop management tools which guidelines to improve the way of working in a Virtual Enterprise. An additional goal is to extensive knowledge on (human) resource requirements in a fast reactive n cultural/lingual environment, communication and collaboration requirements, and organisational arrangements in such an environment.

Keywords: virtual enterprise, management, marketing, VIVE, FREE, SME
