DETERMINATION OF IMPORTANT PARAMETERS FOR PATENT APPLICATIONS

This research study is an analysis of patent applications based on different input parameters. Nine patent indicators for describing patent applications are retrieved from the World Bank database. The method of ANFIS (adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system) is applied to selecting the most important parameters for patent applications. The inputs are: charges for the use of intellectual property for payments and receipts, research and development expenditure, trademark applications for residents and nonresidents, researchers in research and development (R&D), technicians in R&D and high-technology exports. As the ANFIS outputs, patent applications for nonresidents and residents are considered. The results show that the combination of research and development expenditure and technicians in R&D is the most influential combination of input parameters for patent applications.

Statistical evaluation of mathematics lecture performances by soft computing approach

Mathematics lectures could be very challenging task for the both, teachers and pupils, since there are large education material which should be acquired throughout 1 year. Therefore there is need to improve the lectures in order to make it more interesting and attractive for pupils especially. In order to find a way how to improve the lectures, there is need to make statistical analysis in order to detect which factors are the most dominant for the mathematics lecture performance. For such a purpose, in this study soft computing approach, namely, adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was used. The ANFIS should determine what the qualitative influence of the several factors on the mathematics performance is. The results confirm that the application for education software could produce the best results in mathematics lecture.

STUDY OF BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM QUALITY

IT has made remarkable progress over the last years. Business intelligence systems have been developing as an important part of IT. Enterprises often fail to realize importance and necessity of implementation of business intelligence solutions. This paper will deal with approach for assessment of business intelligence in enterprises, based on maturity models. The significance of this paper is in development of new conceptual research models which do not apply the usually thesis on maturity models.

Some considerations on business intelligence application in business improvement
