INTRODUCTION: key concepts1. Enterprise – a business company or organizations

– The activities of creating businesses & managing them

Mac Millan English Dictionary for Advanced Learners

2. Systems paradigm [Agnes Kaposi & Margaret Myers: Imperial College Press] is not just a single concept, BUT a comprehensive collection of mutually complementary ideas, some already well established, other still under development

- A systems paradigm must build on the established disciplines of science, computing, engineering and management.

- A systems paradigm must be widely accessible: comprehensible by any interested person, including members of the Board of the organizations involved with the project, senior management and technical staff, subcontractors and specialist experts, personnel, customers, the public, local politicians and members of Government.

- The systems paradigm must utilize the advanced principles of Quality. According to these, a project must not only satisfy the client – the paying customer-, but must respect the environment and have regard for all interested parties as well as the needs of the wider community.

- Those responsible for the project are accountable. The systems paradigm must facilitate accountability: use appropriate models and methods for specification, unambiguous representation, design, implementation and project management. It must assist rigorous analysis and assure traceability, thus facilitating the delivery of a solution in due time and within budget. For this, the models must be timed and characterized by measures which can be checked objectively. The models must also aid the management of risk, the formulation of informed decisions and the articulation of value judgments.

A.R.C.H.E.S.

A Future European citizen must:

Scenario

• The highest priority in Romania:– the development of infrastructure

facilities including highways, roads, bridges and residential parks.

• Increase in the demand for ICT services to support project collaboration and management within the consortium

Scenario

• “as-is” Romanian business case– major government founded

infrastructure projects – restricted ICT support to facilitate the

implementation.

• “to-be” scenario – implementation of collaboration an

interoperability e-services.

• Main objective for civil engineering test case is:– to provide a solid ISU –SaaS-U key

concept platform by implementing and further developing the COIN Generic Service Platform, with the aim to fill the current ICT gap within civil engineering Romanian projects

• The specific objectives are: – to increase the efficiency of the processes

by providing convergent EI and EC services and to implement a virtual project office

– to provide a collaborative platform– to provide efficient monitoring and cost

analysis tools.– To encourage both ICT and civil

engineering SME’s to develop and access ICT services

Scenario

• Test case

• Actors / players :– University “Politehnica” of Bucharest

(UPB) – role of catalyst, promoter, knowledge and skill broker and integrator (ARCHES Living Lab)

– Digital Bit - Main test case: e-services as commodity, utility & SaaS-ISU platform for civil engineering and e-building.

Economic and social evolution of Romania during 1.I-30.IV.2010

Contribution of the main activity branches to the GDP fall rate in the first quarter of 2010 as against the first quarter of 2009

Industrial production indices

TURNOVER VOLUME INDICES OF RETAIL

1. Gross Domestic Product (GDP)• The Gross Domestic Product – seasonally unadjusted data - estimated for

the first quarter of 2010 amounted to lei 96707.4 million current prices, decreasing – in real terms – by 2.6 percentages as against the first quarter of 2009.

• From the viewpoint of GDP formation, we should notice the contribution to total GDP fall of services activities, this branch holding a share of 54.7% in GDP. The gross value added in the services sector registered a fall of 2.1%, the activity volume in the construction sector was by 17.3% under the level of the first quarter of 2009, agriculture, forestry and fishing decreased their activity volume by 0.9%, while the gross value added in industry registered a growth of 4.2%. In the first quarter of 2010, the volume of net taxes on product decreased by 10.7% as against the first quarter of 2009.

• The analysis of factors that contributed to the 2.6% of GDP fall points out the prevalent influence of net taxes on product (-1.2%), of construction (-1.2%) and of services (-1.2%).

• The evolution of gross domestic product from the viewpoint of its use points out an important decrease of domestic demand (-3.0%) and of household actual individual final consumption (-4.1%).

• In the first quarter of 2010, the household actual individual final consumption was negatively influenced by the decrease in the volume of goods sold by retail (-9.7%) and it was positively influenced by the increase in the volume of market services rendered to the population (+8.4%).

• Therefore, investments in new construction decreased by 28.9% and those in equipment (including transport means) registered a fall of 30.6% as against the first quarter of 2009.

• The increase in exports of goods and services (+19.5%) and imports of goods and services (+14.9%), influenced the Romanian trade balance and Balance of Payments deficit. Thus, in the first quarter of 2010, the Balance of Payments deficit was, in real terms, by 9.2% lower than the first quarter of 2009

• The analysis of factors that contributed to the 2.6% fall of gross domestic product, from the viewpoint of GDP use, points out the significant contribution of gross fixed capital formation (-6.9%) and of household actual individual final consumption (-3.4%).

Construction • In April 2010, the construction works registered a decrease of

16.5% as against April 2009, by structure elements, for new construction works (-24.2%). Increases were registered for capital repair works (+4.1%) and for maintenance and current repair works (+2.5%).

• By type of construction, decreases were registered for residential buildings (-33.5%) and for non-residential buildings (-29.5%). An increase of 2.8% was registered for civil engineering.

• In April 2010, 3686 construction permits were released for residential buildings, by 7.0% more than in March 2010 and by 9.5% less than in the corresponding month of 2009.

Agriculture• On June 2, 2010, as against the same date of

last year, it was noticed a fall of areas sown for most of crops field vegetables and solaria (-3.5%), oats (-6.3%), spring two row barley (-10.9%), fodder plants (-6.0%), autumn potatoes (-7.2%), sunflower (-5.0%), soya (-14.1%), maize and sorghum (-4.6%), and a growth for sugar beet (+11.3%).

International trade in goods• During 1.I-31.III.2010, FOB exports amounted to lei 32472.8 million (€ 7879.3 million), their

value being with 15.4% higher than corresponding period of 2009, calculated based on the values expressed in lei, respectively 19.4% calculated based on the values expressed in euro.

• In the structure of exports, three of the 10 sections of goods comprised in the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC Rev. 4) account for 77.8% of total exports as follows: machinery and transport equipment (42.7%), miscellaneous manufactured articles (17.6%) and manufactured products mainly classified by raw material (17.5%).

• During 1.I-31.III.2010, CIF imports amounted to lei 40398.9 million (€ 9802.4 million), their value being higher than the same period of 2009 with 7.4% based on the values expressed in lei, respectively 11.0% based on the values expressed in euro.

• In the structure of imports, four of the 10 sections of goods comprised in the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC Rev. 4) account for 79.8% of total imports, as follows: machinery and transport equipment (34.5%), manufactured products, mainly classified by raw material (21.1%), chemicals and similar products not elsewhere specified (14.3%) and mineral fuels, lubricants and connected materials (9.9%).

• During 1.I-31.III.2010, the trade deficit amounted to lei 7926.1 million (€ 1923.1 million) in FOB/CIF prices, by lei 1536.1 million (€ 302.7 million) less than during 1.I-31.III.2009.

• The value of intra-community exchanges of goods during 1.I-31.III.2010 was lei 24125.9 million (€ 5864.8 million) for deliveries and lei 29094.3 million (€ 7075.0 million) for inputs, representing 74.3% of total exports and 72.0% of total imports.
