SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT BUSINESS MOVING TOWARDS A UNIFIED COLLABORATIVE SYSTEM IN IT. SAAS MAY BE THE NEW ORIENTATION.

In this paper we will present an alternative way of programming. Our opinion is that, in the next few years, software development business will suffer serious changes. Software vendors will adopt SaaS (Software as a Service) as the new way of selling their products. We will try to guide you through the basic concepts of this relatively new domain. The article also includes a brief description of an application, developed indoor but using SaaS applications for some of its modules. In the end we want to make an SWOT analysis of the opportunity of using SaaS.Software as a service (SaaS), informatics, business, vendors, new technology.

The Design of a Distributed Database for Doctoral Studies Management

This paper aims to create a system that manages doctoral school requirements. The management of doctoral school implies administration of information like PhD personal information, Supervisors, Teachers, and other information that may be useful. We will debate on distributed database term as the proposed database project will have the same structure for four universities. Each university will be able to work on this database by accessing its own set of data and properly using the information received. This project will track the creation of a database to manage all the information needed and provide answers using these data.Distributed Database, Fragmentation, Top-Down Design Process
