In this paper, we present a new version of the OPTCON algorithm for the optimal control of nonlinear stochastic systems with special reference to econometric models. It delivers approximate numerical solutions of optimum control problems with a quadratic objective function for nonlinear...

Nowadays Russian government pays a lot of attention to solutions of the high energy intensive production system in the country. The key factors of low efficiency of regional energy saving programs is the lack of approved standards and algorithms in the area of energy audit. In practice, both...

This paper aims to research demands and practices on internships. The internship management system (IMS) is a fundamental fragment of communication between students, educational institutions and businesses (S-B-A) and is an influential tool to improve the digitization of processes related to...

One of the strategic projects initiated in Europe in the period 2011-2014 was the project DARIAH-EU which had the main goal to elevate research in Humanities and Arts science using digital technologies and create special infrastructure across Europe. Czech Republic is in the phase of joining...

Software Product Lines is an important strategy to minimize costs and time-to market, and maximize quality and productivity of the software development. It involves the management of variabilities and commonalities among several applications, which increases its complexity compared to...

Use of microdata is severely hampered in many areas of research. This is in particular true for data from statistical offices. One way to circumvent this problem is to anonymize the data such that both confidentiality is guaranteed and informational content of the data is not to much distorted...

In this paper, we propose three new tests for serial correlation in the disturbances of fixed-effects panel data models. First, a modified Bhargava, Franzini and Narendranathan (1982) panel Durbin-Watson statistic that does not need to be tabulated as it follows a standard normal distribution....

Japan is faced with a gFukushimaf problem, meaning a nuclear accident leading to electrical power shortage. This problem relates to a non-balanced gEnergy-Environment-Economich policy which does not, but should incorporate gelectrical power savingh, glow carbon emissionh, and...

This paper aims to offer an advanced assessment methodology for sustainable national energy-environment-economic efficiency strategies, based on an extended Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) in which distinct countries are regarded as Decision Making Units (DMUs). The aim is to show how much...

Social network analysis and mining intend to explore for certain, previously unknown, and probably useful relational information from social and information networks. In our case, the research paper is about identifying collaborative networks between the authors (co-authors) of Computer Science...
