Unique lecture about Enterprise Engineering

We are delighted to invite you to a unique lecture by Steven van Kerveli from holland firm ForMetis, held Feb 17 within informatics evenings FIT. During the lecture you understand what the engineering approach in building businesses and that even in this area it is possible to build a proper formal foundations. You’ll see how to build information systems for EE. More about the lecture.

Cooperation with ForMetis is underway

CCM shares with ForMetis enthusiasm for innovation in Enterprise Engineering and IT technology based on the methodology DEMO. At present, we are running those joint projects:

  • Marek Skotnica – bachelor thesis focused on the implementation of the Action Model to DEMO Engine developed ForMetis.
  • Finalizing education-simulation portal https://www.demoworld.nl (CCM participates in beta testing).
  • From next week we start a project focusing on the application DEMO in Governance, Risk & Compliance.

Ing. Zuzana Vejrážková diploma thesis was awarded in two competitions

Czech ACM Chapter & Slovakia ACM Chapter Student Project of the Year (ACM SPY) is a comptition for the best thesis in computer science and information technology. Susan received this prestigious award for his excellent work “Business Process Modeling and Simulation: DEMO, BORM and BPMN“, which contributed significantly to the topics which the CCM deals.

In addition to this award Zuzana succeeded well in the competition “ICT dissertation in 2013”, where her work placed on amazing 3rd place in tough competition.

Congratulations, thank you and wish you continued success!

Week of Smalltalk at FIT

Next week will be “a week Smalltalk FIT”. Indeed there will be a visit of Dr. Stéphane Ducasse.

Will be held the following public events:

  • Monday, 12/09 16: 15-17: 45 BS NTK: “Kicking and Alive” – invited lecture
  • Tuesday, 10/12 18: 00-21: 00: Workshop (T9 room 350, building new FIT)
  • Wednesday, 11.12 18: 00-21: 00: Worskhop (T9 room 350, building new FIT)

Contents workshops leave the selection of participants. Number of places in the workshops is limited, make sure you place the application below. If you decide at the last moment, just try to figure out, maybe you’ll get lucky and will instead ;-).

Dr. Ducasse will be fit until Friday. If there is interest, we can do even more workshops and meetings during Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. If you have any special wishes, write.

These actions but not nearly all: We will deal with Dr. Ducass on cooperation within the FIT ESUG and Pharo Consortium. This will give us more interesting and promising topics for student projects, scientific research projects and our industrial partners we are able to offer more advanced technologies and solutions.

We visited the University of Antwerp!

Robert Pergl and Martin Podloucký last week visited the Department of Management Information Systems, Faculty of Applied Economics, University of Antwerp. With the department represented by prof. John Verelst we found a number of very synergistic with the CCM issues, especially enterprise engineering and software engineering based on conceptual approach.

prof. Jan Verelst

On the department are working on a big breakthrough in software engineering over the past several decades, perhaps: applying the theory of normalized Systems (NS) on the sustainable development of large information systems. Although sustainability is a traditional theme, approach, what we saw in Antwerp it is unique in that it is exact and provable. From this approach arise exact criteria to judge whether a particular software system is sustainable or not and in what order to increase the number of necessary changes in the system over time.

The theory is practically applied in a spin-off company NSX, which has developed a code generator based on ANN theory. Information systems developed using this technology are already being used successfully in large Belgian firms and government sectors.

Finally, the visit was formulated topics for cooperation between Antwerp and CCM in the field of education, science and research and cooperation on code generators. The research and application topics will be addressed in the form of student theses, doctoral and postdoctoral topics. Watch page for more details.

CCM is a part of the TACR project team

A joint effort of FIT and Profinit was successful in applying for a project funded by the Technology Agency of Czech Republic. The project is named “Tools for Automation of Quality Assurance of Vast Business Intelligence Systems and Data Warehouses”.

CCM is a part of the FIT project team. Our part are several conceptual topics dealing with analysis, design and also implementation. Check our web pages for more updates soon.
