Tele-immersion as a positive alternative of the future

We will try to show the basic principles of teleimmersive system, its main components, development, demonstrations and potential uses one of todays most challenging network application. Teleimmersion involves combining teleconferencing, telepresence and virtual reality to allow individuals to manipulate shared environment, converse, interact and even see each other. Teleimmersion is at the crossroad of researches related to virtual reality and networking, vision of computers and user interfaces. So, it can be said that just a little part of all of this research areas is unified and carefully sistemated.

Methodological framework of business reengineering within logistics system

Methodological scope of business reengineering is designed by using logistics information systems researches carried out in most highly developed countries. Methods of information system development are analysed from the business engineering point of view. The example of the information system development in function of business reengineering describes the usage of system structural analysis method in redesigning the process of transport of goods, which is critical for optimization of process of transport within the system of logistics. Basing upon the analysis of the logistics system business necessities and studies of information system development researches of certain companies in Germany and USA, some of the significant factors of strategic development of logistics information systems have been defined. Definition of critical information system development factors and their mutual interaction intensity provides the guidelines for forming the methodological scope of business reengineering of system of logistics
