Because of the temporary nature of the Sandbox and insufficient documentation, digital forensic examiners are facing new challenges when examining this newly added feature which can be used to hide different illegal activities. Throughout this paper, the focus will be on analyzing different Windows artifacts and event logs, with various tools, left behind as a result of the user interaction with the Sandbox feature on a clear virtual environment.

There are various tools for self and final assessment of students in the modern e-learning systems. In this paper, we propose a grading algorithm composed of two parts: self-assessment and final exam. In the self-assessment phase, students must solve tests and fill a bar (cover scores) according to their results. The tests are generated using the “Intelligent system for generation and evaluation of e-learning tests using integer programming”. This approach allows students to choose between different levels of question scores and different number of questions in the generated test. The required score for filling the bar and successful selfassessment can be obtained either with a small number of questions with higher score or a large number with a lower score. Only after passing successfully all self-assessment tests students are allowed to do final exam.","PeriodicalId":437575,"journal":{"name":"2020 43rd International Convention on Information, Communication and Electronic Technology (MIPRO)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124827977","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 CTSUM provides support for the use of ICT and implementation of MTPs through individual consultations and workshops. This study aims to assess teachers’ interests and needs in the field of ICT and MTPs along with the self-evaluation of their existing ICT skills. It was conducted as an online survey with responses from 154 teachers (approx. 26% response rate). The results show that a significant majority of teachers are interested in the provided support and need training on the use of ICT for preparing interactive assignments, voting and providing feedback, performing project-based learning, designing graphically rich study materials, and organising course materials online.

The digitalization of production processes has directly affected the development of new media industries. The old media industries developed in the model of mass media and limited media markets. New media industries are associated with technological progress and the digitalization of production processes. The digitalization and convergence of production and distribution processes has directly affected the complete paradigm shift in the development of new media industries. The music industry was among the first to enter the process of transformation. The production and distribution of physical sound carriers has been replaced by streaming music platforms. The purchase of physical sound carriers in \"brick and mortar\" stores has been replaced by subscriptions on the streaming platform. Spotify is the largest global streaming music platform. It generates the highest revenue and has the largest number of subscribers. The strength and impact of the Spotify platform on the global market is evidenced by the emergence of the term “spotification”, which is used for all similar business development models.","PeriodicalId":437575,"journal":{"name":"2020 43rd International Convention on Information, Communication and Electronic Technology (MIPRO)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134434992","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}

In this regard, the issues are actualized of developing tools and providing infrastructures for the microservice-based implementation of scientific applications, which are characterized by the dynamism of resource requirements and oriented to use in a hybrid cloud environment. We offer microservice-oriented tools for the automation of solving computationally complex problems of a qualitative study of attractors of binary dynamic systems in a hybrid computing environment. This study is based on the Boolean constraint method and allows the finding of evolutionary parameters of system states (such as, for example, radius, period, and branching) without modeling system dynamics. These tools provide the agents implemented as web-services for the integration of resources of on-premises computers with cloud resources using Dew computing.

In the development of such platforms, the scope, architecture, realization technology as well as the channels used are important. However, a well-accepted/designed platform does not guarantee profitable results in a digital business model. There are various soft factors that can significantly affect the reach of a platform. Due to its role in food distribution, the specific lifecycle of products and seasonality, agriculture is an industry where timely reach is crucial. In this paper, we investigate the factors influencing users’ perceptions toward platforms in agriculture. We consider both the perspective of the customers/buyers, and the perspective of the producers/sellers. We also examine the perception factors that can influence one’s intention to join and adopt digital platforms. The identification of relevant perception factors is based on a literature review and empirical data from publicly available sources. Our goal in future research is to confirm or revise factors that impact perception, and to assess the impact of perception on the design and functionality of digital platforms, as well as its impact on the development of digital business models.","PeriodicalId":437575,"journal":{"name":"2020 43rd International Convention on Information, Communication and Electronic Technology (MIPRO)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133751175","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}

For many years power plants had been the only sources of electrical energy, and the energy had been delivered to the consumers by the means of transmission and distribution networks exclusively.With the emergence of distributed generation units, power flows have become bidirectional, which has made it impossible to estimate the voltages and currents in substation feeder nodes by measuring only the values at the beginning of the feeder. As the aforementioned estimation process is the basis of traditional voltage regulation techniques, it is obvious that under the new circumstances existing methods have to be upgraded.The article demonstrates how the open source tool PandaPower along with the Python programming language was utilized to analyze and evaluate several different scenarios of using photovoltaic distributed sources inverters for voltage regulation in low voltage electrical power networks.","PeriodicalId":437575,"journal":{"name":"2020 43rd International Convention on Information, Communication and Electronic Technology (MIPRO)","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121080932","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}
