Abstract
Nowadays the web can serve as a perfect technological environment for personalized learning which is suggested by educators and based on interactive learning objects. While a range of technological solutions for the development of integrated e-learning environments already exists, the most appropriate solutions require further improvement of the implementation of novel learning objects, unification of standardization and integration of learning environments, based on semantic web services that are still in the early stages of development. The aim of the research is to create a model for the development of semantic learning objects, connect it with the architecture of the educational system for semantic learning object design and to present the experimental part of the model’s impact on the course design process. The paper presents the research with the main question on how to improve the e-learning course with semantic learning objects by exploring the application of learning object design approaches, usability, performing modern training facilities and the learning object design model based on semantic web technologies.

Abstract
The paper proposes a novel predictive-reactive planning and scheduling framework in which both approaches are combined to complement each other in a reasonably balanced way. Neither original scheduling algorithms nor original techniques can be find in this paper. It also does not intend to invent new mechanisms or to propose some cardinally new ideas. The aim is to choose, adapt and test ideas, mechanisms and algorithms already proposed by other researchers. The focus of this research is set on make-to-order production environments. The proposed approach aims not only to absorb disruptions in shop floor level schedules but also to mitigate the impacts of potential exceptions, which disrupt mid-term level production plans. It is based on application of risk mitigation techniques and combines various simulation techniques extended by optimization procedures. The proposed approach is indented to be implemented in Advanced Planning and Scheduling system, which is an add-on for Enterprise Resources Planning system. To make it easier to understand the focus of the paper, at the beginning the position from which we start is clarified.

Abstract
The paper presents the process of the selection of a potential supplier, which have to be the most appropriate to stakeholders. The selection is based on a set of criteria: Delivery Price, Financial Position, Production Specifications, Standards and Relevant Certificates, Commercial Strength, and the Performance of supplier, etc. The criteria for evaluation and their importance are selected by taking into consideration the interests and goals of the stakeholders. The solution of problem was made by applying a new Additive Ratio ASsessment (ARAS) method with the grey criteria scores – ARAS-G method. The proposed technique could be applied to substantiate the selection of effective alternative of sustainable development, impact on environment, structures, technologies, investments, etc.

Abstract
In the present paper, the method of structure analysis for multivariate functions was applied to rational approximation in classification problems. Then the pattern recognition and generalisation ability was investigated experimentally in numerical recognition. A comparison with Hopfield Net was carried out. The overall results of using of new approach may be treated as a success.
