the introduction into the field of software testing, automated software testing and diagnostics will be given together with explanation of fundamental terminology. the viewpoint of quality theory will be stressed. Presented state of the art basic concepts of software testing, design of tests, their execution and methods of test evaluation will be selected according to their practical usage. the methodology will be demonstrated on case studies developed during practical software testing and diagnostics projects for large international companies in the field of industrial automation and medical instrumentation. the paper will be concluded with a summary of practical experience.

this paper provides an overview of the developments in relation to sustainable procurement through a review of 63 publications indexed in Scopus and found published between 1996 and 2013. the increasing development of standards, guidance notes and research papers on sustainable procurement offers a means to examine ongoing developments and trends. the research aim was to review studies that contribute to our understanding of sustainable procurement;and critically examine some of the current sustainable procurement trends. the developments since 1996 have culminated in the publication of Procuring the Future (2006) which was a UK government Sustainable Procurement National Action Plan;BS8903: 2010 which is a generic standard on sustainable procurement;CIRIA 695: 2011 which is a guide on sustainable procurement in construction;training courses on sustainable procurement offered by the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply (CIPS) for example;and development of policies on sustainable procurement by businesses. ISO 10845: 2010 defines procurement as the process through which contracts are created, managed and fulfilled. However, sustainable procurement requires the use of procurement to achieve wider objectives based on a mix of social, environmental and economic considerations. A content analysis shows the 63 papers from 16 countries are published in 58 different journals which reflect a multidisciplinary subject of growing international interest. More interdisciplinary research is needed to develop a consistent body of knowledge. In practice, the dominance of traditional competitive procurement approaches that focuses heavily on price and lead to wasted resources, exploitation of the "sustainability" label by businesses, and questions relating to the development of a comprehensive method for measuring sustainable procurement reveals significant gaps between theory and practicethat should be addressed.

In this paper the notion of quantum finite one-counter automata (QF1CA) is introduced. Introduction of the notion is similar to that of the 2-way quantum finite state automata in [1]. the well-formedness conditions for the automata are specified ensuring unitarity of evolution. A special kind of QF1CA, called simple, that satisfies the well-formedness conditions is introduced. that allows specify rules for constructing such automata more naturally and simpler than in general case. Possible models of language recognition by QF1CA are considered. the recognition of some languages by QF1CA is shown and compared with recognition by probabilistic counterparts.

SOFSEM 2001, the International conference on currenttrends in theory and practice of informatics, was held on November 24 – December 1, 2001 in the ? well-known spa Pie?stany, Slovak Republic. this was the 28th annual conference in the SOFSEM series organized either in the Slovak or the Czech Republic. SOFSEM has a well-established tradition. currently it is a broad, multid- ciplinary conference, devoted to the theory and practice of software systems. Its aim is to foster cooperation among professionals from academia and industry working in various areas of informatics. the scienti?c program of SOFSEM consists of invited talks, which determine the topics of the conference, and short contributed talks presenting original - sults. the topics of the invited talks are chosen so as to cover the whole range from theory to practice and to bring interesting research areas to the attention of conference participants. For the year 2001, the following three directions were chosen for presentation by the SOFSEM Steering Committee: – trends in informatics – Enabling Technologies for Global Computing – Practical Systems Engineering and Applications the above directions were covered through 12 invited talks presented by pro- nent researchers. there were 18 contributed talks, selected by the international Program Committee from among 46 submitted papers. the conference was also accompanied by workshops on Electronic Commerce Systems (coordinated by H. D. Zimmermann) and Soft Computing (coordinated by P. H´ajek).

this book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 24th Seminar on currenttrends in theory and practice of informatics, SOFSEM'97, held in Milovy, Czech Republic, in November 1997. SOFSEM is special in being a mix of a winter school, an international conference, and an advanced workshop meeting the demand for ongoing education in the area of computer science. the volume presents 22 invited contributions by leading experts together with 24 revised contributed papers selected from 63 submissions. the invited presentations are organized in topical sections on foundations, distributed and parallel computing, software engineering and methodology, and databases and information systems.
Following the currenttrends in data driven solutions, this paper aims to explore a value-creation mechanism for open data of education sector. Dynamic data assigning algorithm for cluster identification is investigat...

the international conference on currenttrends in the theory and practice of informatics SOFSEM 2000 was held 25 November–2 December 2000 in the c- ference facilities of the Dev?et Skal (Nine Rocks) Hotel, Milovy, Czech-Moravian Highlands, the Czech Republic. It was already the 27th annual meeting in the series of SOFSEM conferences organized in either the Czech or the Slovak Rep- lic. Since its establishment in 1974, SOFSEM has gone through a long dev- opment in parallel withthe entire ?eld of informatics. currently SOFSEM is a wide-scope, multidisciplinary conference, with stress on the interplay between the theory and practice of informatics. the SOFSEM scienti?c program consists mainly of invited talks which determine the topics of the conference. Invited talks are complemented by short refereed talks contributed by SOFSEM parti- pants. the topics of invited talks are chosen so as to cover the span from theory to practice and to bring interesting research areas to the attention of conf- ence participants. For the year 2000, the following three streams were chosen for presentation by the SOFSEM Steering Committee: – trends in Algorithmics – Information Technologies in practice – Computational Perception the above streams were covered through 16 invited talks given by prominent researchers. there were 18 contributed talks also presented, chosen by the int- national Program Committee from among 36 submitted papers. the program also included a panel on lessons learned from the Y2K problem.
We consider the reachability problem for timed automata having diagonal constraints (like x − y dLU for timed automata with diagonal constraints. On the negative side, we show that deciding ZdLU Z is NP-complete. On t...

this paper expands upon existing and introduces new formulations of Bennett's logical depth. A new notion based on pushdown compressors is developed. A pushdown deep sequence is constructed. the separation of (previously published) finite-state based and pushdown based depth is shown. the previously published finite state depth notion is extended to an almost everywhere (a.e.) version. An a.e. finite-state deep sequence is shown to exist along with a sequence that is infinitely often (i.o.) but not a.e. finite-state deep. For both finite-state and pushdown, easy and random sequences with respect to each notion are shown to be non-deep, and that a slow growth law holds for pushdown depth.

In this paper we examine the possibility to bridge theory of Distributed Cognition with popular theories of Social Studies of Technology (in particular, Actor-Network theory and Social Construction of Technology). Responding to a recent call for revisiting the design metaphor, in this paper we aim to obtain more precise terminology for describing the phenomena of ICT design in theoretical terms. We argue that establishing correlations between the two bodies of literature adds new knowledge to a community of scholars caters for betterment of managerial practice in complex design tasks.
