AN ECONOMETRICAL MODEL FOR CALCULATING THE ROMANIAN GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT
This article analyzes the possibility of determining the Romanian Gross Domestic Product on the basis of a linear model, based on macroeconomic indicators such as unemployment, inflation, exchange rate. The proposed solution allows forecasting the Gross Domestic Product for the following period of time based on equation determined from the model in order to develop scenarios for improving the macroeconomic situation of Romania. The article also can be a starting point in the field of strategic investments, both at macro and micro level. Any foreign investor, before starting a business in another country, calculated and also made predictions about the economic situation of that country, in order not to lose the investment made.regression, GDP, inflation, unemployment, forecast
ASPECTS REGARDING ESCROW SERVICES IN ROMANIA, AS AN IMPORTANT PART OF E-COMMERCE ACTIVITY
E-commerce has appeared and developed along with the Internet. Online buyers and sellers can become fraud victims. Escrow Services reduce the number of fraud cases and guarantees online transactions. In Romania, those services are only just beginning to act, as the cyber fraud phenomenon is present in our country in the same rates as worldwide.escrow, e-commerce, cyber - fraud, escrow accounts, legislation, online auctions
QUALITY OF SERVICE ARCHITECTURES APPLICABILITY IN AN INTRANET NETWORK
The quality of service (QoS) concept, which appeared initially as a necessity to improve Internet users perception, deals actually with new valences along with information society maturation. At the organisationâs level, the Intranet network shall assure in a similar manner as the Internet all kinds of services, which are useful to the organisationâs users. Starting from the traditional QoS architectural models, network administrators shall plan and design a QoS architecture, which will map on the organisationâs requirements, having at disposal not only own network elements but also communication services provided by other operators. The aim of this paper is to present, starting from the general QoS models, a comparative study of main advantages and drawbacks in implementing a specific Intranet QoS architecture taking into consideration all kind of aspects (material, financial, human resources), which impact on a good Intranet QoS management.QoS, IntServ, DiffServ, IntServ over DiffServ, VPN-MPLS, Intranet network
THE EVOLUTION OF THE INTELLIGENT CARDS AND THE ROMANIAN MARKET
This paper will try to describe the close relationship between the economic evolution and technology, especially how the technical aspects of debit/credit cards interact with the economical aspects. There are approached concepts related to smart card and especially the use of cards in different economic purposes. Since the introduction of the first cards there has been an accelerated growth of the use of smart cards. One of the essential growth factors has been the progress in the electronic industry and the accelerated development of the software companies, which allowed the emergence of interactive financial services such as e-banking, mobile banking, smart cards being considered the access key to these modern services.Smart cards, credit cards, debit cards, card market in Romania, card payments
THE PERSPECTIVES OF THE ENERGETIC COMPETITIVENESS IN THE EU AND THE ICT
Information and communication technology (ICT) consumes energy, but in the same time those technologies help us to conserve energy. It did so by enhancing the performance of systems and processes in industry and commerce. Nowadays, ICT must also play a critical role in offering valid solutions for the energy sector towards a more sustainable production of electricity. The new âsmartâ technologies from the computing domain are now emerging, offering further possibilities to reduce the growing energy consumption both in the residential sector and in the industrial area.energy competitiveness, energy conservation, green energy, information and communication technology
PYTHON IMPLEMENTATION OF VISUAL SECRET SHARING SCHEMES
Visual secret sharing schemes (VSS) represent an important concept of visual cryptography. They permit the sharing of a secret image between multiple participants so that only authorized groups can recover the secret. This paper considers the software implementation of some black-and-white secret images VSS in Python programming language. PIL (Python Imaging Library) provides strong image processing capabilities, making the library suitable for this kind of implementation. We present samples of the results obtained from the software computation and draw some conclusions.visual secret sharing, visual cryptography, Python, PIL (Python Imaging Library)
FRAMEWORK FOR FLEXIBLE REUSE AND ASSEMBLY OF LEARNING OBJECTS â A PILOT PROJECT
The present paper aims to highlight certain relevant and new features revealed by the research on assisted training. The motivation is given by the necessity to efficiently develop the educational resources by combining reusable learning objects, and also by the need to customize training in order to meet specific user options. The main objective is to design a flexible framework for assembling and reusing learning objects, which can be successfully applied in developing an educational platform for mathematics teaching.learning object, learning environment, e-Learning, learning architecture
STAKEHOLDERâS ROLE IN HEALTHCARE SERVICES AND NEW INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
The purpose of this study on âstakeholder role in healthcare servicesâ is to facilitate our understanding of increasingly unpredictable external environments, thereby facilitating our ability to manage within these environments whether as the Marketing or the IT Manager decision roles. There is agreement in the literature concerning the major steps involved in stakeholder analysis:identification of stakeholder groups (e.g., employees, owners, communities, customers); determination of the stakeholders' interests; and evaluation of the type and level of stakeholder power or salience. Managers perceive the stakeholder to posses, thereby is producing seven categories of relative salience according to the number of attributes: urgency, legitimacy and power. The study is based one is a very comprehensive and internationally accepted classification of âstakeholderâ based on Mitchell Theory 1997 with a broad review of five leading general management journals (Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Journal of Management, Organization Science, Strategic Management Journal) and of two journals in the social issues in management field (Business & Society, and Business Ethics Quarterly). It identifies and repositions the role of the CIO (Chief Information Officer) in the internal structure of the company regarding the stakeholderâs interests and purposes.stakeholder theory, management perspective, healthcare marketing, information technology
EXPERT SYSTEMS
In recent decades IT and computer systems have evolved rapidly in economic informatics field. The goal is to create user friendly information systems that respond promptly and accurately to requests. Informatics systems evolved into decision assisted systems, and such systems are converted, based on gained experience, in expert systems for creative problem solving that an organization is facing. Expert systems are aimed at rebuilding human reasoning on the expertise obtained from experts, stores knowledge, establishes links between knowledge, have the knowledge and ability to perform human intellectual activities. From the informatics development point of view, expert systems are based on the principle of the knowledge separation from the treating program. Expert systems simulate the human experts reasoning on knowledge available to them, multiply the knowledge and explain their own lines of reasoning.expert systems, artificial intelligence, knowledge, expertise
