Title: Lean Startup and Lean Canvas Using for Innovative Product Development
Abstract: Recently, new approaches to product development have emerged that focus on idea generation techniques and customer itself. One of them is the Lean Startup method that is described in this article along with the Lean Canvas method. The main goal of the article is to demonstrate the application of both methods to an innovative product development focused on providing interactive trips for families with children. The development of the product during individual phases is described and application of the Lean Startup and Lean Canvas principles is demonstrated. Finally, benefits of both methods contributing to the product success are discussed. Similar case studies start emerging worldwide, however in the Czech context are quite rare.

Title: A Solution to the Square-Rectangle Problem Within the Framework of Object Morphology
Abstract: The square-rectangle problem is often cited as an illustration of pitfalls arising when using object-oriented programming (OOP). A number of solutions have been proposed, however, according to the author, none of them solve the problem satisfactorily, mainly because they tackle the problem from within the current OOP paradigm. This paper presents another solution stemming from object morphology (OM), a new object-oriented paradigm developed to model mutable phenomena. In the framework of OM the problem can be solved directly under the basic OM principle that an object may mutate not only with regard to its state, but also with regard to its type. The main contrast between the presented and the other solutions is that constraint violations caused by changes in an object’s state are no longer necessarily considered errors; instead, they may be interpreted as triggers initiating a mutation of the object’s type. The solution is demonstrated using Morpheus, a proof-of-concept implementation of OM in Scala.

Title: Conceptual Agent-Based Model for Optimal Power Utilization in Wireless Sensor Networks
Abstract: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are densely and largely deployed in a variety of environments to sense real-world events. Many approaches have been proposed for collecting sensory data in any wireless sensor networks in a flexible, reliable, and efficient manner. In this study, we design an efficient mobile agent-based model for data gathering in wireless sensor networks to achieve energy and timely collection of sensory information in the target scene. The current focus in wireless sensor networks is placed on energy optimization during data gathering, processing and transmission. Mobile Agents (MAs) as a piece of a program have attracted growing research interest that travels the network from node to node to compute the local data to get useful information globally. Mobile agent’s features such as autonomy, social ability, learning, and more significantly, mobility makes it a chosen technology for information processing in wireless sensor networks and other resource constrained computing environments. The nodes of the sensors are modelled and represented by the states of a Markov chain. The nodes are further grouped into clusters to save the energy of the nodes farther away from the base station.

Title: Cloud Computing Governance Lifecycle
Abstract: Externally provisioned cloud services enable flexible and on-demand sourcing of IT resources. Cloud computing introduces new challenges such as need of business process redefinition, establishment of specialized governance and management, organizational structures and relationships with external providers and managing new types of risk arising from dependency on external providers. There is a general consensus that cloud computing in addition to challenges brings many benefits but it is unclear how to achieve them. Cloud computing governance helps to create business value through obtain benefits from use of cloud computing services while optimizing investment and risk. Challenge, which organizations are facing in relation to governing of cloud services, is how to design and implement cloud computing governance to gain expected benefits. This paper aims to provide guidance on implementation activities of proposed Cloud computing governance lifecycle from cloud consumer perspective. Proposed model is based on SOA Governance Framework and consists of lifecycle for implementation and continuous improvement of cloud computing governance model.

Title: Business Rules Definition for Decision Support System Using Matrix Grammar
Abstract: This paper deals with formalization of business rules by formal grammars. In our work we focus on methods for high frequency data processing. We process data by using complex event platforms (CEP) which allow to process high volume of data in nearly real time. Decision making process is contained by one level of processing of CEP. Business rules are used for decision making process description. For the business rules formalization we chose matrix grammar. The use of formal grammars is quite natural as the structure of rules and its rewriting is very similar both for the business rules and for formal grammar. In addition the matrix grammar allows to simulate dependencies and correlations between the rules. The result of this work is a model for data processing of knowledge-based decision support system described by the rules of formal grammar. This system will support the decision making in CEP. This solution may contribute to the speedup of decision making process in complex event processing and also to the formal verification of these systems.

Title: Predatory Journals, Piracy and New Models of Publishing Scientific Articles
Abstract: The paper responds to observed absurd impacts associated with predatory journals, both at the personal and institutional level. There is mentioned the basic procedure to identify predatory journal and how to find it in Beall’s list. Briefly are commented the consequences associated with the first study in the Czech Republic dealing with the number of articles published in predatory journals, which are inserted into the Information register of R&D results (RIV) by research institutions. On this basis, a part of the funding for universities and research organizations in the Czech Republic is redistributed. Furthermore, there are commented approaches to financing journals and publishing articles, in particular, a new model of paying membership fees used by the publication platform PeerJ. Finally, the issue of the availability of scientific articles including piracy issues is discussed. Described development, which we are currently witnessing, transforms the current system of science and related publishing of scientific articles or knowledge sharing within the society.
