We are aiming to promote Romania internationally as a leader for software development, as well as a high-end software and IT services provider. With IT exports lead by sofware outsourcing companies and R&D centers, our advocacy efforts go in assisting these companies in growing their business and expanding their potential, as we are looking forward to a high-value added services and product-based software industry. Andrei Pitis President of ANIS Romania has been a leading player in the software development space and has been ranked at the top of IT outsourcing service providers in the global market by all the major consulting firms since 2005. Outstanding technical skills and a passion for engineering marked in people's genes, a culture of open communication, strong work ethics, great language skills and one of the best developed Internet infrastructures in the world helped Romania become one of the most attractive destinations for the IT outsourcing and software development businesses. More and more software companies develop and grow in Romania for its renowned global delivery service centers and R&D potential. The country's competitiveness has raised awareness not only among European clients, for whom the advantage of operating under the Sorin Gavanescu ANIS Vicepresident - Outsourcing European Union umbrella brings obvious business advantages, but also among more distant markets, such as the US, Canada, Australia and countries in the Middle East who also invested heavily in software outsourcing projects in Romania. We at ANIS are very happy to publish the country's first software outsourcing companies catalogue, based on data collected directly from the companies in August-September 2013. www.anis.ro | 3 ANIS Overview: Priorities, objectives, projects ANIS represents the interests of Romanian IT ANIS' vision can be transposed in 3-pillars companies and supports the development of the strategy: software and services industry, as well as the • A plan to grow the internal software growth of companies involved both in market - for creating local products that can outsourcing projects and in developing proprietary be exported in later stages applications. • A plan to encourage creation of The association was founded in 1998 and now proprietary software products - startups, includes approx. 100 members - companies with accelerators, incubators, entrepreneurial both Romanian and foreign capital, small and education programs medium companies as well as multinational ones, • A plan to support outsourcing and R&D with presence in the main technical universities in centers, based on creativity and not on costs. the country.

Authors retain all rights. www.ijcsra.org IJCSRA has been granted the right to publish and share, Creative Commons 3.0 Complex IT Projects in Education: The Challenge Stefan Morcov 1 1 SIVECO Romania SA E-mail: [email protected] 0040 722 458 953 Abstract Complexity is a new concept in project management that becomes more and more important when dealing with today’s projects. The term “complexity” in project management moved from the status of attribute to the status of discipline. IT projects display even more traits of complexity due to the new technologies involved and to the traits of innovation and unpredictability associated with them. A n IT project in education is primarily an education project, and typical project and software models and metrics are not applicable as such, which raises the complexity of IT projects in education to an even higher level. The project management theories have starting to evolve since the late 1990s to incorporate a dimension of complexity. Still, these are not fully integrated. And especially in education, the development o f a framework methodology for the setup and management of complex projects is required in order to tackle with the complexities of combining the intrinsic complexity of IT projects, the education aspects and the risks introduced by the wide range of stakeh olders involved in major education transformations.

  • IPMA Global Project Excellence Award
    IPMA Global Project Excellence Award Application Year 2019 Moving winners forward IPMA Global Project Excellence Awards Projects and programmes provide many challenges. Teams who tackle these challenges and deliver to the benefit of the various stakeholders deserve our biggest respect. Delivering the planned results and achieving the expected benefits is easier said than done. Therefore, lifelong learning and continuous improvement are keys for success. This is why I am inviting you to enter the IPMA Global Project Excellence Awards. The Awards are an ideal way to learn from international experts and other organisations, and get global recognition for what the project team has achieved. The IPMA Global Project Excellence Awards use the IPMA Project Excellence Baseline as the basis for the assessment. The baseline is publicly available and the Award Assessors and Judges are trained to use it. In order to maximise the benefits from the award process, you should be aware of the application stages. First you select the category you are entering and submit your entry. Applica- tions submitted in the categories Small and Medium - Sized Projects go only through a submission based judging process. If you apply in the category Large or Mega Sized- Projects, your entry is assessed by a dedicated Assessment Team and after the Award Judges have reviewed the assessment team com- ments, a Site Visit takes place during which the Assessment Team interviews the most important stakeholders. After the Assessment Team submits their second judges’ report, the judges decide on the allocation of prizes, which are awarded at an IPMA event, usually during an awards gala at a world congress.

  • The Ruby Way: Solutions and Techniques in Ruby Programming
    Praise for The Ruby Way, Third Edition “Sticking to its tried and tested formula of cutting right to the techniques the modern day Rubyist needs to know, the latest edition of The Ruby Way keeps its strong reputation going for the latest generation of the Ruby language.” Peter Cooper Editor of Ruby Weekly “The authors’ excellent work and meticulous attention to detail continues in this lat- est update; this book remains an outstanding reference for the beginning Ruby pro- grammer—as well as the seasoned developer who needs a quick refresh on Ruby. Highly recommended for anyone interested in Ruby programming.” Kelvin Meeks Enterprise Architect Praise for Previous Editions of The Ruby Way “Among other things, this book excels at explaining metaprogramming, one of the most interesting aspects of Ruby. Many of the early ideas for Rails were inspired by the first edition, especially what is now Chapter 11. It puts you on a rollercoaster ride between ‘How could I use this?’ and ‘This is so cool!’ Once you get on that roller- coaster, there’s no turning back.” David Heinemeier Hansson Creator of Ruby on Rails, Founder at Basecamp “The appearance of the second edition of this classic book is an exciting event for Rubyists—and for lovers of superb technical writing in general. Hal Fulton brings a lively erudition and an engaging, lucid style to bear on a thorough and meticulously exact exposition of Ruby. You palpably feel the presence of a teacher who knows a tremendous amount and really wants to help you know it too.” David Alan Black Author of The Well-Grounded Rubyist “This is an excellent resource for gaining insight into how and why Ruby works.
