This next chapter addresses assessment describes the technology evolution process that involves government and corporate firms to perform technology validation and evolution planning. We go ahead and assess key technology areas, and provide a system technology forecast that can be used by a representative organization on the road to net-centric readiness. We then mention the acquisition trade study process and provide an understanding as to how vendor products can be assessed in an objective and documented manner. We end the chapter by providing a case study and information on the Net-Centric Operations Industry Consortium (NCOIC).

Building Energy System

This article presents the evaluation and optimization algorithm of the building energy system. Two main objectives have been achieved: the optimal configuration of the building energy system has been defined, which minimizes the use of non-renewable sources and reduces the environmental impact of the building. Energy demand for the house has been simulated employing DesignBuilder software. Five configurations of technologies for the building energy system have been chosen and simulated applying Polysun software in order to define the seasonal energy efficiency of the generators of each configuration. Multi-criteria decision making methods SAW (Simple Additive Weight), COPRAS (COmplex PRoportion ASsessment) and MEW (Multiplicative Exponential Weighting) have been used for finding the optimal decision on this case study. Article in Lithuanian. Santrauka Pateikiamas mažai energijos vartojančio gyvenamojo namo energetinės sistemos vertinimo ir optimizavimo algoritmas. Šio tyrimo metu, siekiant nustatyti racionalų realiai pritaikomą pastato energetinės sistemos technologijų derinį, įgyvendinti du pagrindiniai tikslai: parinktas derinys, kurį taikant maksimaliai išnaudojami atsinaujinantieji energijos ištekliai ir sumažinamos sistemos išmetamų CO2 dujų emisijos. DesignBuilder kompiuterine programa atliktas energinis modeliavimas pastato energijos reikmėms nustatyti. Esamam gyvenamajam namui parinkti penki energetinės sistemos technologijų deriniai. Atliktas derinių modeliavimas Polysun programa, nustatytas kiekvieno derinio generatoriaus sezoninis energinis efektyvumas. Įvairiapusiškai racionaliam sprendimui priimti buvo taikyti daugiakriterio vertinimo metodai: SAW (Simple Additive Weight), COPRAS (COmplex PRoportion ASsessment) ir MEW (Multiplicative Exponential Weighting).

Serbian is a unique example of active digraphia, that is, the use of two scripts by the same speech community. Writers of Serbian use both the Cyrillic and Latin alphabets in various domains. Moreover, the Internet has brought to the fore competing orthographic variants within the Serbian Latin writing system. Technology-driven and ideologically motivated, non-standard de facto orthographic norms emerge as a result of the medium’s affordances embedded in a given socio-political context. This paper presents a case study on alphabet choice and the use of non-standard orthographic variants on two Serbian news websites, Politika Online and B92. The results show that a two-fold process occurs in Serbian orthographic practices, emerging from Internet discourses from below, including online commentaries: the dominance of the Latin alphabet over Cyrillic; and the stabilization of non-standard Latin orthographic variants. Metalinguistic commentaries of online posters illustrate the tension between pragmatic concerns and language ideologies.
