Application of Particle Swarm Optimization to Formative E-Assessment in Project Management
The current paper describes the application of Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm to the formative e-assessment problem in project management. The proposed approach resolves the issue of personalization, by taking into account, when selecting the item tests in an e-assessment, the following elements: the ability level of the user, the targeted difficulty of the test and the learning objectives, represented by project management concepts which have to be checked. The e-assessment tool in which the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm is integrated is also presented. Experimental results and comparison with other algorithms used in item tests selection prove the suitability of the proposed approach to the formative e-assessment domain. The study is presented in the framework of other evolutionary and genetic algorithms applied in e-education.Particle Swarm Optimization, Genetic Algorithms, Evolutionary Algorithms, Formative E-assessment, E-education
A Training Software Platform for the Research Projects Evaluation
The paper presents a training software platform which can be used by the evaluators for learning how to perform the research project evaluation and how to document the whole process, writing consistent comments. For the moment, the platform is ready for use on the proposals evaluation phase, but it can be easier extended in order to also cover the interim and the final evaluations of the research projects.services; goods; industrial society; knowledge-based society.
PROVOCARILE CU CARE SE CONFRUNTA MANAGEMENTUL PROIECTELOR
Traditional project management practices have evolved over time as the requirements for managing and controlling construction projects unfolded. However, with the advances of management techniques and ICT, traditional practices have proven to be insufficient in meeting the new project requirements. Construction projects are being designed by diverse number of designers (which may well be placed at different geographical locations), procured and managed by new partnering strategies, materials are purchased and delivered through strategic alliances with suppliers etc. These changes have highlighted a number of weaknesses in the traditional project management practices some of which are discussed in the following paper.project management, construction projects, Information and Communication Technology

Validating the Automated Assessment of Participation and of Collaboration in Chat Conversations
International audienceAs Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) gains a broader usage as a viable alternative to classic educational scenarios, the need for automated tools capable of supporting tutors in the time consuming process of analyzing conversations becomes more stringent. Moreover, in order to fully explore the benefits of such scenarios, a clear demarcation must be made between participation or active involvement, and collaboration that presumes the intertwining of ideas or points of view with other participants. Therefore, starting from a cohesion-based model of the discourse, we propose two computational models for assessing collaboration and participation. The first model is based on the cohesion graph and can be perceived as a longitudinal analysis of the ongoing conversation, thus accounting for participation from a social knowledge-building perspective. In the second approach, collaboration is regarded from a dialogical perspective as the intertwining or overlap of voices pertaining to different speakers, therefore enabling a transversal analysis of subsequent discussion slices
