Organisation equilibrium

J. Hron, T. Macák

Agric. Econ. - Czech, 2006, 52(4):147-151 | DOI: 10.17221/5008-AGRICECON  

Parameters of structure should reflect the factors reflecting the situation, e.g. organisation age, size and type of production system (Mintzberg 1996). The present paper shows a way of achieving the equilibrium between the situation factors and the relevant project parameters of an organisation, the balance being based on a congruence approach.

Modern methods of web applications analysis and design

P. Zelenka

Agric. Econ. - Czech, 2006, 52(4):152-154 | DOI: 10.17221/5009-AGRICECON  

This article deals with modern approaches to the web applications analysis and design. Many methodologies specialized on web applications analysis and design have been developed, but have not reached mass usability yet, because differences between conventional and web applications are decreasing and requirements for the methodologies of the web applications analysis and design have been changed radically. The main goal of this article is to classify web applications and describe specific analysis and design requirements for each of these classes.

Multiple-criteria approach for strategy adaptation in SME's

The formulation and adaptation of a firm strategy in small and medium enterprises depends on the management qualification and available project and modeling tools. With regard to the conditions in small Czech companies engaged in agribusiness, we encourage using uncomplicated quantitative models, the results of which can be also valuable. In the contribution, we show the possible utilization of simple additive weighting method for price assessment.

GIS and the dynamic phenomena modeling

D. Klimešová

Agric. Econ. - Czech, 2006, 52(4):160-164 | DOI: 10.17221/5011-AGRICECON  

Different aspects of the dynamic or temporal of GIS are very frequently discussed and we can register new approaches and applications in this field every week. This paper analyses the possibility of the selected approaches to contribute to the temporal data processing and gives the overview of the most basic ones. The author presented part of these results also at the Agrarian Perspectives Conference 2005 in the applied informatics session.

Knowledge modeling using CraftCASE tool

V. Merunka

Agric. Econ. - Czech, 2006, 52(4):165-172 | DOI: 10.17221/5012-AGRICECON  

The development of business information systems has the communication gap that exists between business and software experts, because they live in their own well-defined and complex cultures. One place where this gap manifests itself is in the constant failure of software developers to fully capture the system requirements. Second example is the inability to exactly analyze and store business knowledge. In our experience, gathered during the last ten years, working on major software projects, not all system requirements are known at the start of the project and the customers expect that their discovery and refinement will form part of the project. Our...

Trends in information infrastructure of enterprises

I. Vrana

Agric. Econ. - Czech, 2006, 52(4):173-176 | DOI: 10.17221/5013-AGRICECON  

This paper will focus on the development trends of enterprise information infrastructure which will take into account an effective management of institution as well as integration of the existing technologies and systems. A special focus will aimed at the new Smart Enterprise Suites (SES), which should provide for convergence and integration of the originally single systems as portals, content management and collaboration. The author presented part of these results also at the Agrarian Perspectives Conference 2005 in the applied informatics session.

Software quality requirements

J. Vaníček

Agric. Econ. - Czech, 2006, 52(4):177-185 | DOI: 10.17221/5014-AGRICECON  

At the present time, the international standards and technical reports for system and software product quality are dispersed in several series of normative documents (ISO/IEC 9126, ISO/IEC 14598, ISO/IEC 12119 etc.). These documents are not purely consistent and do not contain a tools for exact requirements set-ups. As quality is defined as a degree to which the set of inherent characteristic fulfils requirements, the exact requirement formulation is the key point for the quality measurement evaluation. This paper presents the framework for quality requirements for software, which is recommendable to use in the new international standard series ISO/IEC...

Integrating multiple fuzzy expert systems under restricting requirements

S. Aly, I. Vrana

Agric. Econ. - Czech, 2006, 52(4):187-196 | DOI: 10.17221/5015-AGRICECON  

The multiple, different and specific expertises are often needed in making YES-or-NO (YES/NO) decisions for treating a variety of business, economic, and agricultural decision problems. This is due to the nature of such problems in which decisions are influenced by multiple factors, and accordingly multiple corresponding expertises are required. Fuzzy expert systems (FESs) are widely used to model expertise due to its capability to model real world values which are not always exact, but frequently vague, or uncertain. In addition, they are able to incorporate qualitative factors. The problem of integrating multiple fuzzy expert systems involves several...
