This paper proposes a novel paradigm for network congestion control. Instead of perpetual conflict as in TCP, a proof-of-concept first-ever protocol enabling inter-flow communication without infrastructure support thru a side channel constructed on generic FIFO queue behaviour is presented. This enables independent flows passing thru the same bottleneck queue to communicate and achieve fair capacity sharing and a stable equilibrium state in a rapid fashion.

Paper deals with the data driven computation control paradigm, which is alternative to the mainstream control flow model of program execution control. In the second part of the paper we are introducing computer architecture that is proposed at the Department of Computers and Informatics, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics, Technical University of Košice, according to the data driven computation control model with use of tile computing principles. In the final part of the paper, subgraph colouring technique that is unique characteristic of proposed computer architecture is described.

TOGAF is an Enterprise Architecture framework that provides a method for developing Enterprise Architecture called architecture development method (ADM). The purpose of this paper is whether TOGAF ADM can be used for developing software application architecture. Because the software application architecture is one of the disciplines in application development life cycle, it is important to find out how the enterprise architecture development method can support the application architecture development. Having an open standard that can be used in the application architecture development could help in outsourcing of software development. If ADM could be used for software application architecture development, then we could consider its usability in outsourcing of software development.

Increasing globalization, competition, but also the economic situation in our country and in the world, a powerful development of technology and rapid changes in organizations are just a few of the important factors why an innovative ideas and approaches become increasingly important for the universities. The aim of this paper is to contribute to the innovation of the master study of the Information management (field of study) in the University of Economics in Prague. The presentation is based on the theoretical approaches to the concept of the information management and at the same time it maps and compares the current situation and approaches of the selected universities to their master study in the Information management. Recommendations are primarily based on the survey of the graduates of the Information management from the Faculty of informatics and statistics, University of Economics in Prague, who have been employed in practice for longer time.

A review of a monograph by Ignác Prno: “Dynamika sociálnoekonomických procesov: simulovanie dynamiky v sociálno-ekonomických systémech“ (Dynamics of social and economic processes: simulations of dynamics in social and economic systems) which was published by Slovak Academy of Science in Bratislava in 2012. The book presents a in a systematically organized comprehensive knowledge and tools to managers and to everybody with an interest in modelling of dynamic soft systems. The CD with software which is accompanying the book allows readers to get the knowledge in an interactive way.
