Using Quantitative Methods as Support for Audit of the Distributed Informatics Systems

This paper highlights some issues regarding how an indicators system must be developed and used in an audit process. Distributed systems are presented from de points of view of their main properties, architectures, applications, software quality characteristics and the scope of audit process in such systems. The audit process is defined in accordance to standard ISO 19011 and the main characteristics of this process are highlighted. Before using quantitative methods in audit processes, the framework in which the indicators are built must be defined. There are presented types of indicators used in audit process and classes of measurement scale. An audit process is carried out on different levels and support indicators must be in accordance to audit object. The paper presents some requirements of the indicators depending on the level of audit.Quantitative Methods, Audit Process, Distributed Informatics System

Information Flow Audit in Small and Medium Enterprises

In the most important political, economical and technical forces that will act to production and service development in next decades are also counted the information and knowledge from the point of view of the all aspects. The information development imposes the use of adequate tools to assure a high-level quality of these ones, taking into account the costs. The paper approaches the data flow audit within small and medium enterprises as an useful tool in competitive increasing of these economical structures.audit, data, information, small and medium enterprises

An IoT Project for Vital Signs Monitoring

Nowadays, the Internet of Things (IoT) projects are very popular and they are developed for numerous fields. In order to detect various medical problems on time, it is required to monitor the subjects either human or non-human. This could be used on regular or specific activities, like sport or work. It is necessary to determine the factors that could lead to medical problems. Another important aspect is to quantify the factors, to monitor them, to collect data and to make the proper interpretation. This could be achieved using dedicated sensors, controlled by an application embedded on a development board. When a dangerous value is reached, the system has to inform the subject (if human) or someone else (if non-human). This paper presents an Arduino based IoT project used for monitoring the vital signs for human and non-human and the results based on its usage. The paper details the hardware and software components of this project

Aspects of Orthogonality in the Development of the National Digital Wealth (NDW)

There are presented aspects of orthogonality in the development of the national digital wealth. There is presented the concept of NDW. Are identified quality characteristics. Are built orthogonality metrics for software development applications which are parts of NDW
