This paper provides an overview of recent development of a web application of the SLAmeter tool. The SLAmeter is a computer network traffic measuring and monitoring tool that provides various informations from collected data via its web application. Due to several performance and extensibility related problems with the former solution of the web application, the whole architecture of this top layer had to be redesigned. The main focus was therefore aimed at the new design and implementation of a thick client architecture. The achieved solution resulted in several advantages: (i) it helped to decrease the response time of the user interface, (ii) introduced new features, and (iii) enabled consistent development of new modules.

Present time is characterized by a variety of fixed and mobile smart technologies which provide users with a lot of new functions and possibilities. Every day new applications come into being and extend the service portfolio. Rapid evolution was noted in a domain of mobile end devices running the Android operating system. Current application base covers a number of areas from games via business to sports. In this paper we present mobile application Ridetastic we have developed. This application does not only provide basic functions to support the sporting (biking) activities but also integrates social networking functions. For example, sharing the user tracks using public social networks can be interesting for users but requires another application to browse them. Our application enables the users to share their tracks and experiences from trips in real time.

This article deals with automated analysis of electronic commerce. It debates a tool for analysis of the competitive environment and its use in the area of e-learning. The tool is supposed to help students of both technical and economic disciplines to understand the issue of sales on the internet, to analyse the competitive environment, to respect technical, implementation, optimisation as well as economic and marketing indicators. The information amassed in this way enable taking strategic decisions and introducing innovations and modifications of sales portals. The article also includes a description of the results attained and the use of this tool in hands-on practical activities in teaching. The conclusion discusses further expansion potentials and possibilities for cooperation.

The aim of this work is to highlight the use of semi-immersive virtual reality in educational process. Part of the effort is explanation of virtual reality systems considering immersion and human-computer interaction. For implementation of such a system was needed to define requirements to enhance productivity during education. Described solution is based on virtual workbench using touch user interface and disposes with capabilities to lead a student through infinite amount of use-cases. Important property is evaluation of student's steps.

Analysis of the performance of various communication networks is often realized by researchers using simulation tools which can be free or commercially oriented. Network simulator (v.2) is a free, powerful and worldwide used simulation tool but it is not equipped by a graphical interface and therefore users have to spend additional time to gain an ability to work with it. This considerably restricts its usage in educational processes. In this paper we provide detailed comparison of third party tools developed to enhance and simplify work with Network simulator and we also mention reasons why we developed our tool with name GUIns2 which provides not only a graphical interface for Network simulator but also supports other simulation based activities. GUIns2 is characterized with a focus on an every phase of the simulation process. To better understand our tool and its contribution we proposed and described one wired network simulation scenario. GUIns2 makes simulation capabilities of Network simulator more accessible to wider base of users.

The problem of effective teaching of programming is still open. Students still face problems with learning and especially understanding of even basic programming principles. In this paper we present our experiences with our modern teaching method for programming that is basically a combination of the task-driven methodology and case study approach. This new method is called task-driven case study approach. In the paper we share our own experiences from the viewpoint of teachers, but we also present results of a survey done with 112 of our students. Presented results show positive experience both from viewpoint of students and teachers.

Exploiting the ceaselessly enhancing, online learning frameworks assumes a paramount part for adjusting toward oneself, particularly on account of working individuals. All things considered, learning frameworks don't for the most part adjust to learners' profiles. Learners need to invest a ton of time before arriving at the learning objective that is perfect with their insight foundation. This paper investigates Machine learning and its applications in E-Learning frameworks. Machine learning, we may say, is a sort of artificial intelligence (AI) that gives machines the capacity to learn without being expressly customized. Machine learning concentrates on the advancement of machine projects that can develop themselves and change when presented to new information [8].

The aim of the study was to demonstrate whether and how information technology affects human development, particularly in the shaping of creative attitudes. Creative attitudes were examined by standardized questionnaire of KANH creative attitudes. The study aimed to demonstrate how Biofeedback training method affects the level of creative attitudes. In the group with predominance of reproductive attitudes, after training there was an increase of creative attitudes, some people slightly decreased level of creative attitudes. The important news is that there has been a decline in reproductive activities. In the group of patients with a predominance of creative activities, in certain individuals, there was an increase in creative behavior. In more than a dozen people was minimal decline of creative attitudes. There was a decline of reproductive behavior in a few subjects, while in a few, this attitude remained unchanged. The paper pointed out that in most subjects, under the influence of biofeedback training method there has been a decline in reproductive behavior. Only in one of the individuals, reconstructive operations have not changed. It is noteworthy that decreased reproductive attitudes even among those who interrupted therapy.

Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) is a well-known mathematical tool used for scientific and engineering purposes. One of the areas, where DFT is frequently used is digital signal processing (DSP). The application of DSP techniques is used in many diverse areas, from telecommunication sector through medical data processing up to modern home entertainment systems. Many of the DSP applications require real time data processing. In the scientific area the DFT is frequently used for modelling of electrical circuits, communication systems and other areas, where the direct (from time domain to frequency domain) and inverse transformations are performed. This contribution presents two available libraries to accelerate DFT using parallelization. Presented libraries are implemented for use on recent computer processors (Central Processing Unit, CPU), as well as for the calculation of the graphics cards (Graphic Processing Unit, GPU). We briefly introduce the libraries and then present the comparison of their performance.
