Cloud Computing as an emerging technology is a new paradigm in Information Technology and can dramatically change our everyday life. The presentation summarizes the basics of cloud computing, namely the main idea, the definition, the cloud model composed of essential characteristics, service models and deployment models. In the second part of the presentation the new perspectives of cloud computing based education are discussed. Some higher educational institutions do not have sufficient hardware or software to provide the students full learning environment and experience. This problem is particularly important in various fields of Engineering Education. Cloud computing provides Service as a Service(SaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) which allow the students to access the latest technologies with a low budget. The last part of the presentation includes some tips for planning Platform as a Service (PaaS), SaaS and Iaas and reflects some security problems.","PeriodicalId":212597,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 10th International Conference on Emerging eLearning Technologies and Applications (ICETA)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130341199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also compared the results of the students of different types of secondary schools. Some of the positive findings showed an improvement in this area, e.g. on secondary grammar schools or secondary vocational schools. There were also some less encouraging findings, which lead to reflection about the efficiency of ongoing educational reform, proper curricula and IT skills of teachers on certain types of schools.","PeriodicalId":212597,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 10th International Conference on Emerging eLearning Technologies and Applications (ICETA)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116039758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Internet Economy represents a unique “Online oportunity” for Slovakia. According to the Boston Consulting Group study, that was commissioned by Google Slovakia, Slovak republic has opportunity to become above the average Internet Economy. Today, Internet Economy of the Slovak republic (shareof Internet on GDP) is estimated at 3.3%, or 2.3 bln EUR, which is approximately the level of other internet developed countries. The share of Internet of GDP in 2016 is expected to reach 4.5%. Huge potential represents export with added value (technology export), that contributes in the whole Internet Economy up to 30%. Several leading Slovak companies succeeded globally thanks to the internet: for example antivirus company ESET, that has 150 million users worldwide, Innovatrics - world leading fingerprint-recognition software used worldwide, or GPS navigation system Sygic. Slovakia has a huge potential to stimulate set-up of other technology companies, that will create jobs with higher added value, will keep Research and Development in Slovakia, and will succeed with its products globally, thanks to the internet. In order to stimulate future growth of the Slovak republic, it is important to focus on support of education in the area of IT skills and start-up/entrepreneurial mentality. Significant number of Slovak universities graduates are unemployable at present. If additional expert trainings of IT skills would be provided to these graduates, their chance so finding jobs would increase significantly. Following an example of Estonia, Slovakia should start empowering children with necessary IT skills already from early age on. Slovak republicis in need for more university graduates with IT skills. These graduates will work not only in shared-services centers, but will also continue their growth and develop new technology products and software.","PeriodicalId":212597,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 10th International Conference on Emerging eLearning Technologies and Applications (ICETA)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121264386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis of the available presentation systems and possible sending techniques led us to the conclusion, that multicast is the best choice for implementing real-time one-to-many communication. The new system was designed to increase delivery reliability missing in UDP protocol, which is the most commonly used for multicast addressing. This system allows application to receive presentation updates made by presenter even if there are short network failures and updating packets are not received immediately. Such a communication makes it possible to share thoughts in real-time without the need for the participants to be located in the same place.","PeriodicalId":212597,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 10th International Conference on Emerging eLearning Technologies and Applications (ICETA)","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128190669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
