Fakulteta razvija discipline, ki krojijo današnji svet. Te discipline so močno prepletene in povezane, zato je njihova sinergija ključna za uspešnost in inovativno prebojnost fakultete. Prav ta množica poglobljenih znanj različnih disciplin, združenih na enem mestu, predstavlja ključno prednost naše fakultete. Uspešno raziskovalno delo naših zaposle-nih je temelj dobrega visokošolskega izobraževanja. Prenos znanstvenih spoznanj v pedagoški proces, vključevanje študentov v razvojne in raziskovalne projekte je zagotovilo, da se bodo naši diplomanti na svoji poklicni karieri uspešno spoprijeli z izzivi prihodnosti. Dejstvo, da sta njihovo znanje in spo-sobnost primerljiva z znanjem kolegov z najboljših univerz, pogosto dokazujejo na različnih strokov-nih tekmovanjih, še bolj pa na svojih delovnih mestih po celem svetu.Fakulteta je v času svojega obstoja nenehno rastla. Sodoben objekt G-2 je pomenil prelomnico v reševanju najnujnejših prostorskih težav. V letu 2015 smo dokončno obnovili še objekt G-3 (tako imenovana baroničina hiša), ki bo fakulteti dala novi zagon. Združila bo žlahtno patino secesijske preteklosti z inženirsko jedrnatostjo in racional-nostjo ostalih objektov. Ustrezni prostori in oprema pa predstavljajo le nujni pogoj za uspešnost fakul-tete. Najpomembnejši so njeni zaposleni, njeni študentje ter njena odprtost v svet!

The faculty considers the scientific disciplines that create the world of today. These disciplines are strongly interlaced and this is why their synergies are of key importance for the innovative break-through of the faculty. This arena of deep knowl-edge from various disciplines collated at the same place is the main advantage of our faculty. The successful research work of our staff form the basis of a good higher education. The efficient transfer of new scientific achievements during the pedagogic process, actively involving the students in research projects is a guarantee that our graduates and post-graduates will manage to solve the challeng-es along their professional paths. Our students have proved at various professional international competitions that the excellence of their knowledge and their professional skills are competitive with their colleagues from the more prestigious universi-ties. Even more this is obvious from their working situations worldwide. The Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Comput-er Science has grown all the time since its constitu-tion. The modern building named G-2 finished al-most ten years ago represented a real turning point in solving spatial problems of the faculty. In 2015 we have renewed building G-3 (so-called Baroness’s house) which will spawn new energy to the whole faculty. Building G-3 joins the noble patina of the past with the engineering conciseness and rational-ity of the remaining buildings. However, adequate work premises and equipment are only the essential conditions for the success of our faculty. The most important are its employees, its students, and its openness towards the world!

VIŠJA TEHNIŠKA ŠOLA, 26. 11. 1959Študij elektrotehnike v Mariboru je stekel spomla-di leta 1960 v okviru tedanje Višje tehniške šole (VTŠ), ki je bila ustanovljena na iniciativo mariborskih gospodarskih organizacij in strokovnih združenj leta 1959. Svečana otvoritev Višje teh-niške šole je bila 18. marca 1960. Maribor je bil v tistem času najbolj razvito industrijsko središče v Sloveniji, v katerem je bilo čutiti veliko potrebo po kadru z višješolsko izobrazbo. Višja šola, postavlje-na v to industrijsko okolje, je najlažje in najhitreje zadovoljila velike kadrovske potrebe, razvita in-dustrija pa je šoli pomagala z visoko kvalificiranim in znanstvenim kadrom z bogatimi praktičnimi izkušnjami. Za izobraževanje inženirjev s področja elektrotehnike sta bili sprva na voljo dve smeri, in sicer za jaki in šibki tok; kasneje sta se preimenovali v močnostno elektrotehniko in elektroniko.

ZGODOVINA HISTORY

JUNIOR COLLEGE OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES, 26. 11. 1959The opening ceremony was held on the 18th of March, 1960. The first Electrical Engineering students enrolled in the Junior College of Technical Sciences in the spring of 1960. The college was founded on the initiatives of Maribor economic organisations and professional associations in 1959. Back then, Maribor was the Slovenian more developed industrial centre and as such, there was a great need for educated people. The college enabled skilled specialists to qualify within this industrial environment. The developed industry helped the college with highly qualified scientific person-nel and their rich practical experiences. For the education of electrical engineers, two courses were initially available, the higher current course and the lower current course, later the power engineering course and the electronics.

VISOKA TEHNIŠKA ŠOLA, 18. 7. 1973 Višja tehniška šola v Mariboru se preoblikuje v Visoko tehniško šolo v Mariboru (VTŠ). Leta 1975 so delavci in študentje sprejeli sklepe o organizi-ranju štirih temeljnih visokošolskih organizacij združenega dela, in sicer VTO strojništvo, VTO elektrotehnika, VTO gradbeništvo in VTO kemij-ska tehnologija Visoke tehniške šole Univerze v Mariboru. Drugostopenjski študij na VTO Elek-trotehnika Visoke tehniške šole je bil uveden jeseni leta 1975, leta 1977 pa še podiplomski študij. Ob uvedbi študija za diplomirane inženirje elektroteh-nike je bila dodana smer avtomatika.

SCHOOL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES with a four year programme of study,18. 7. 1973The Junior College of Technical Sciences became the School of Technical Sciences with a four year programme of study. In 1975, its employees and students adopted conclusions on the organisation of four higher organisations: VTO Mechanical Engineering, VTO Electrical Engineering, VTO Civil Engineering and VTO Chemical Engineering of the School of Tehnical Sciences, University of Maribor. In the autumn of 1975 the second stage/degree of studies at VTO Electrical Engineering at the School of Technical Sciences was established, and in 1977, along with the postgraduate studies. With the introduction of Electrical Engineering studies a new course of Automation was added.

TEHNIŠKA FAKULTETA, 26. 2. 1985V oktobru leta 1984 sta oba zbora Skupščine SR Slovenije potrdila preoblikovanje Visoke tehniške šole v Tehniško fakulteto (TF) Univerze v Maribo-ru. Februar 1985 šteje za začetek delovanja TF. V letu 1984 je bil uveden študijski program s področ-ja računalništva in informatike. V študijskem letu 1993/1994 se je pričel izvajati tudi interdiscipli-narni študij gospodarskega inženirstva za področje elektrotehnike skupaj z Ekonomsko-poslovno fakulteto v Mariboru.

FACULTY OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES, 26. 2. 1985In October 1984, the Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Slovenia officially confirmed the status of the Faculty of Technical Sciences at the Univer-sity of Maribor. The faculty started to operate in February 1985. In 1984 another additional pro-gramme of Computer Science and Informatics was added. Later on, in 1993/1994 an interdisciplinary programme of Industrial Engineering for electrical engineers was implemented together with the Fac-ulty of Economics and Business in Maribor.

FACULTY OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND COMPUTER SCIENCE, 30. 12. 1994The Faculty of Technical Sciences divided into four independent faculties in 1995 and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (UM FERI) was one of them. In the ac-ademic year 2001/2002 we started to implement the additional study programme Telecommuni-cations and in the academic year 2002/2003 the study programme Media Communications. In 2007/2008 the new Bologna system was intro-duced to the University of Maribor and UM FERI, along with the options of graduate and postgraduate studies. The rapid development of the faculty over the last two decades is a result of the efficient development of scientific-research activities within the higher education process and technological modernisation of the industry.

FAKULTETA ZA ELEKTROTEHNIKO, RAČUNALNIŠTVO IN INFORMATIKO, 30. 12. 1994Leta 1995 se je Tehniška fakulteta razdelila na štiri samostojne fakultete, med katerimi je tudi današnja Fakulteta za elektrotehniko, računalništvo in infor-matiko (UM FERI). V študijskem letu 2001/2002 smo pričeli izvajati univerzitetni študijski program Telekomunikacije, v študijskem letu 2002/2003 pa univerzitetni študijski program Medijske komuni-kacije. Z izvajanjem prvostopenjskega študija smo pričeli v študijskem letu 2007/2008, drugostopenj-skega v letu 2010/2011, prenovljeni doktorski štu-dij pa je bil prvič razpisan v letu 2009/2010. Hiter razvoj fakultete v zadnjih dveh desetletjih lahko pripišemo njenemu spoznanju, da je razvoj znan-stvenoraziskovalne dejavnosti osnova za kakovosten napredek visokošolskega izobraževalnega procesa in za tehnološko posodobitev industrije.

INSIGNIJE INSIGNIA

Insignia are symbols of honour and profession. The dean’s insignia consists of the following symbols: the chain, the medallion and the linkage between them. The symbiosis of individual elements joined together in the insignia represents a perfection humanity has always gazed upon.The insignia of the four technical faculties were made by the goldsmith’s trade Zlatarna Celje and designed by the designer Ivo Hanžič, the former leader of designers at Zlatarna Celje.

ChainIt consists of the elements representing institutes from which the faculty was formed, connected with the elements with the logo of the new faculty.

LinkageIt consists of three elements that represent the history of the institution and its integration within society: the logo of the Junior College of Technical Sciences and later the School of Technical Sciences with a four year programme of study (VTŠ), the logo of the Faculty of Technical Sciences (TF), and the logo of the University of Maribor (UM).

MedallionThe medallion is a central part of the insignia, with the year of the establishment, 1995, and the former logo of the faculty. It represents the symbol of the electromagnetic field and its power.

Insignije predstavljajo simbol časti, službe ali pokli-ca. Dekanske insignije sestavljajo veriga, medaljon in vmesni člen med njima. Simbioza posameznih elementov, združenih v insignijah, predstavlja po-polnost, h kateri je človeštvo stremelo že od nekdaj.Ob razdelitvi Tehniške fakultete leta 1995 na štiri samostojne fakultete so bile insignije za vse novo-ustanovljene fakultete naročene pri Zlatarni Celje. Njihov oblikovalec je bil Ivo Hanžič, takratni vodja oblikovalcev v Zlatarni Celje, d.d.

VerigaSestavljajo jo elementi, ki predstavljajo inštitute, iz katerih je nastala fakulteta, povezane z elementi, na katerih je logotip novoustanovljene fakultete.

Vmesni členSestavljajo ga trije elementi, ki predstavljajo pot fa-kultete do njene ustanovitve in njeno vpetost v širši okvir: logotip Višje tehniške šole in kasneje Visoke tehniške šole (VTŠ), logotip Tehniške fakultete (TF) in logotip Univerze v Mariboru (UM).

MedaljonPredstavlja osrednji del insignije, na kateri je ob letnici nastanka 1995 in ob nekdanjemu logotipu fakultete, ki predstavlja simbol za povezanost ele-ktričnega in magnetnega polja v elektromagnetno polje, simbolično združena vsa moč, ki je nastala od prvih zametkov ustanovitve pa do združitve v samostojno fakulteto.

INSTITUTE OF MEDIA COMMUNICATIONS

History Institute of Media Communications is the youngest institute at UM FERI. It was established in 2003 along with the newly developed Media Communications undergraduate programme that started in the school year 2002/03. Social, tech-nical and economic developments have spurred on dynamic changes in media environment which led to an increasingly large knowledge gap that needed to be filled with specific skills and knowl-edge. Our study programme filled this void by offering interdisciplinary approach mixing social sciences, technology and art. Our graduates go on to various positions in media, creative industries in general and various institutions operating in the media field. The Institute of Media Com-munications has been adapting to the changes in industry since the beginning, while relying on a solid connection to various media as well as other local, regional and international organisations. A broad scope of scientific disciplines influencing the study programme are also apparent in the academic research at the institute. We’ve been actively engaged in research activities since the beginning and involved in a number of interna-tional and national research and applied projects.

Student CutsStudent Cuts filmski festival je festival mladih avtorjev, ki svojo filmsko pot šele dobro pričenjajo. Festival se je razvil iz dogodka Medijski dan v letu 2012. Od skromnih začetkov s 30 prijavljenimi filmi iz 5 držav, smo v letu 2015 prišli do 1509 prijavljenih filmov iz več kot 120 držav. Od leta 2013 se je festival širil tudi geografsko. Tako lahko festivalski program gledalci vidijo na večjem številu projekcij doma in na tujem, z več projekcijami na Hrvaškem, Finski in Španiji. Student Cuts filmski festival želi postati platforma za mlade filmske ustvarjalce, ki lahko tako svoje filme širijo po celi Evropi, dvigujejo svojo prepoznavnost in si omogo-čijo boljše možnosti v svoji nadaljnji karieri.

Medijski danMedijski dan je bil dogodek od študentov za štu-dente. Organizirali smo ga 5 let zapored med leti 2010 in 2014. Dogodek je bil zasnovan kot eno ali večdnevno druženje študentov s strokovnjaki iz širšega medijskega področja, vendar je kasneje nekoliko prerasel svoje osnove ter postal dvodnevni dogodek. V tem času smo gostili 29 strokovnjakov s predavanji ter 5 okroglih miz, na katerih je sode-lovalo 25 strokovnjakov. Glavni namen dogodka je bil približati sveže ideje in pristope iz gospodarstva študentom, s čimer bi lahko dobili boljši vpogled v dejanske zahteve na medijskem trgu, hkrati pa omogočiti študentom pokazati svoje znanje in dosežke strokovnjakom ter širši javnosti.

Most Important Socio-Economic Achievements

Student CutsStudent Cuts Film Festival is a festival for young filmmakers at the start of their careers. It was devel-oped in 2012 out of a segment of the previous event called Media Day. From its humble beginnings with 30 submitted films from 5 countries it grew to a staggering 1509 submissions coming out of more than 120 countries. Since 2013 the festival has also been growing geographically with several additional screenings both in Slovenia as well as Croatia, Fin-land and Spain. Student Cuts is aiming to become a platform for young authors who can share their films across Europe, raising their visibility and ena-bling a head start in their professional careers.

Media DayMedia day was an event by students for students. We organised it for 5 years in a row between 2010 and 2014. It was structured as a multi-day gath-ering of students and professionals from various fields of media. Over the years we hosted 29 ex-perts giving lectures and 5 round table discussions involving a further 25 professionals. The aim of the event was to share ideas, spread best practice know-how within the media environment while giving students a chance to show off their work in front of a larger audience.

INŠTITUT ZA RAČUNALNIŠTVO

ZgodovinaInštitut za računalništvo je bil ustanovljen leta 1993 kot naslednik Katedre za računalništvo, ki je bila ustanovljena leta 1980, ko smo v študijski program Elektrotehnika vpeljali izbirni modul Ra-čunalništvo in informatika. Uspešno smo opravljali strokovne in raziskovalne naloge ter k sodelovanju privabljali vse več mladih znanstvenikov. Svetovni razvoj računalništva pa je narekoval potrebo po lastnem študijskem programu. V študijskem letu 1984/85 smo tako pričeli z izvajanjem 8-se-mestrskega študijskega programa Računalništvo in informatika, ki se je leta 1993 preoblikoval v 9-semestrski študij. V študijskem letu 2007/08 smo študijske programe temeljito prenovili v skladu z bolonjskimi smernicami. Hiter razvoj računalniške stroke tako uspešno prenašamo na študente. V 35 letih smo prerasli v največji inštitut na UM FERI z odličnimi raziskovalnimi rezultati. Na začetku je bilo zelo težko, uspeh je bila že konferenčna objava, danes pa objavljamo v najuglednejših znanstvenih revijah, smo recenzenti in uredniki revij ter izvaja-mo raziskave domačih in tujih financerjev.

OrganiziranostInštitut za računalništvo šteje 59 redno zaposlenih članov; med njimi je 10 visokošolskih učiteljev, ostali so asistenti, raziskovalci in tehnični sodelavci. Člani inštituta so organizirani v 7 laboratorijih:Laboratorij za računalniške arhitekture in jezike Vodja laboratorija: prof. dr.

INSTITUTE OF COMPUTER SCIENCE

History The Institute of Computer Science was established in 1993 as successor to the Chair of Computer Science, established in 1980. At that time the elective module Computer Science became a part of Electrical Engineering study programme. We have successfully realised many research projects, which appeal to young scientists to join us. However, de-velopment of computer science soon dictated a new study programme. In the study year 1984/85 a new 8-semester Computer Science and Informatics study programme was initiated. It was transformed to 9-semester study programme in 1993. In the study year 2007/08 the study program was thoroughly re-designed under the Bologna process. Hence, quick development of computer science is success-fully transferred to students. After 35 years we have become the largest institute at UM FERI with excel-lent research results. While every beginning is hard, when a success was even a conference paper, we are now publishing, reviewing and acting as editors in highly respected journals, as well as performing re-search funded by national and international grants.

Processing 3D surface data of Slovenia using gLiDARWe developed gLiDAR a comprehensive software infrastructure for LiDAR data archiving, visualis-ation, and all stages of their processing to end-user products. The main functionalities of gLiDAR include: transformation between coordinate systems, the construction of digital terrain models, analytical hillshading and 3D visualisations, and extraction of key environmental elements (i.e. terrain, buildings, high and low points of the noise, bridges and low, medium and high vegetation). In collaboration with the Geodetic Institute of Slove-nia, we completed a national project of acquiring a 3D surface of the entire country of Slovenia. With a spatial resolution of 2-10 points per m2, the

programskim paketom gLiDAR. Nabor končnih izdelkov projekta med drugim zajema tudi nov uradni digitalni model reliefa Slovenije (katerega povprečna napaka je manjša kot 15 cm), podobo analitičnega senčenja celotnega reliefa ter oblak točk z razpoznanimi stavbami, terenom ter nizko, srednjo in visoko vegetacijo.

Vzpostavitev nacionalne infrastrukture odprtega dostopaNacionalno infrastrukturo odprtega dostopa sestavljajo štirje repozitoriji univerz (UL, UM, UP, UNG), repozitorij slovenskih raziskovalnih organizacij, repozitorij višjih in visokih šol, ki niso del univerz, ter nacionalni portal. Slednji agregira vsebine iz repozitorijev in drugih slovenskih zbirk Dlib, DKMORS, iz Arhiva družboslovnih podat-kov, repozitorija ScieVie in Videolectures.NET za potrebe skupnega iskalnika, priporočilnega sistema in detektorja podobnih vsebin. Razvili smo pro-gramsko opremo, ki je povezana z informacijskimi in avtentikacijskimi sistemi univerz, ARNES AAI, s COBISS.SI ter SICRIS. V okviru projekta smo definirali pravne podlage, implementirali procese za oddajo zaključnih del študija in objav zaposle-nih, proces prenosa podatkov v nacionalni portal ter procese izmenjave podatkov o priporočanju sorodnih del in primerjave podobnih vsebin.

project covered a geographical area that exceeded 20 thousand km2, where more than 46TB of data was processed with gLiDAR software infrastruc-ture. Amongst others, the final products of the project included a new official digital terrain model of Slovenia (the average error of which is less than 15 cm), the analytical shading of the entire terrain, and point-cloud of classified buildings, terrain, and low, medium and high vegetation points.

Establishment of a Slovenian Open access infra-structureThe national open access infrastructure consists of the institutional repositories of the Slovenian public universities (Ljubljana, Maribor, Primorska, Nova Gorica), a repository for research organisations, a repository for faculties which are not part of the universities and a national portal “Open Science Slovenia”. The national portal aggregates content and metadata from all repositories as well as from the Digital Library of Slovenia (dLib.si), repository SciVie, Digital Library of the Ministry of Defence (DKMORS), and VideoLectures.NET and the Social Science Data Archives. The national portal uses metadata and full-texts of publications within a federated search, a recommendation system, and for plagiarism detection. We have developed the software which is integrated with the universities’ information and authentication systems, Slovenian authentication system ARNES AAI, with the Slove-nian cataloguing system COBISS.SI and Slovenian current research information system SICRIS. Dur-ing the project the necessary legal background was defined and processes for mandatory submission of electronic theses and dissertations as well as of re-search publications and research data were designed.

IZOBRAŽEVALNA DEJAVNOST

Stalni razvoj in dopolnjevanje študijskih progra-mov predstavlja dinamičen proces, s katerim na UM FERI sledimo novim družbenim izzivom, potrebam okolja in razvoju stroke. Za razvoj fakultete sta bili prelomni dve študijski leti, in sicer 1996/1997, ko smo vpeljali univerzitetni študij in 2007/2008, ko smo pričeli s stopnjevanim izvajanjem študija po bolonjski shemi. Študijski programi, ki jih na UM FERI izvajamo na vseh treh stopnjah, omogočajo pridobitev temeljnih znanj in ustreznih strokovnih kompetenc, ki diplo-mantom zagotavljajo široke zaposlitvene možnosti doma in v tujini. Prvostopenjski študijski programi vključujejo obvezno praktično izobraževanje v industriji, kar študentom omogoča pridobivanje potrebnih znanj za samostojno reševanje praktičnih problemov stroke. Na drugi, predvsem pa na tretji stopnji se študenti lahko vključujejo v temeljne in aplikativne raziskave, ki jih izvajajo mednarodno priznani raziskovalci na fakulteti. Študenti se lahko vpišejo na visokošolske strokovne programe, ki so nekoliko bolj usmerjeni v prakso in čimprejšnjo zaposlitev ali v univerzitetne študijske programe, ki so mednarodno primerljivi in strukturirani v smeri nadaljevanja študija na drugi (magistrski študij) in tretji (doktorski študij) stopnji. Neodvisno od vrste študija pa vsebine študijskih programov, ki jih

EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY

The constant development and supplementation of study programmes represents a dynamic process addressing new social challenges, societal needs and scientific advancement. Two academic years represent an important milestone in the develop-ment of the Faculty: 1996/1997 when academic programmes were first introduced and 2007/2008 was when UM FERI began to gradually introduce study programmes in accordance with the Bologna process. Programmes implemented under all three cycles facilitate the acquisition of fundamental knowledge and relevant professional competences ensuring excellent career prospects at home and abroad. Bachelor (first-cycle) programmes en-compass compulsory industrial placement ena-bling students to acquire the knowledge required for independent problem solving. Master’s and doctoral students may participate in basic and applied research conducted by internationally recognized scientists working at UM FERI. Stu-dents may enrol either in professionally oriented programmes focusing on practical training and early employment or internationally comparable academic programmes facilitating the transition to Master’s (second-cycle) and doctoral (third-cy-cle) programmes. Irrespective of the type of study, contents of programmes conducted by UM FERI

izvajamo na UM FERI, pokrivajo najbolj aktualne discipline sodobnega tehnološkega razvoja na pod-ročjih elektrotehnike, računalništva in informatike, medijskih komunikacij, telekomunikacij in meha-tronike. Na fakulteti se zavedamo pomembnosti tesnega povezovanja z gospodarstvom in industrijo, zato letno organiziramo delovna srečanja Program-skih svetov, na katerih se seznanimo z razvojnimi usmeritvami delodajalcev in njihovimi pričakovanji glede strokovnih kompetenc naših diplomantov. UM FERI je tesno vpeta tudi v širši evropski akademski prostor preko množice študentskih izmenjav in gostovanj učnega osebja.

encompass the most popular disciplines of modern technological development in the field of electrical engineering, computer science and informatics, media communications, telecommunications and mechatronics. As UM FERI is well aware of the importance of close ties with the economy and in-dustry, annual meetings of Programme councils are organised in order to obtain information regarding the development activities of employers and their expectations concerning the professional com-petences of graduates. UM FERI is also actively cooperating with the wider international academic community through various exchange programmes for students and teaching staff.

RADAR Z UMETNO ODPRTINOOd leta 1992 sodelujemo z Nemško vesoljsko agencijo in skupaj razvijamo algoritme za razume-vanje in predstavitev radarskih posnetkov. Sistemi z radarjem z umetno odprtino so nameščeni na sa-telitih in omogočajo opazovanje površja Zemlje ob vseh vremenskih pogojih, podnevi in ponoči z lo-čljivostjo pod 1 m. Z matematičnim modeliranjem radarskih podatkov lahko iz satelitskih podatkov pridobimo informacije o tipu površja in tipu od-boja. Z opazovanjem širše okolice lahko razločimo tipe zgradb, naselij, določimo tip vegetacije in oce-nimo vlažnost površja Zemlje. S parom satelitom lahko pridobimo interferometrične radarske podat-ke in iz faznega zamika med sprejetima signaloma lahko določimo različne fizikalne parametre, kot je npr. relief površja Zemlje, lahko zaznamo premika-joče se objekte, kot so drsenje tal, lahko zaznamo spremembe na gozdovih, ocenimo biomaso in ocenimo razsežnosti naravnih nesreč. Razvijamo algoritme za avtomatsko prepoznavo objektov na radarskih slikah, določitev tipa površin. Razvijamo tudi radarske sisteme majhnih dometov in tehnike zaznavanja objektov izza sten.

SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADARSince 1992, we have been cooperating with the German Space Agency and on the basis of that col-laboration we developed algorithms for the under-standing and interpretation of radar images. Radar systems with synthetic aperture radar are mounted on satellites, which enable the observation of the Earth's surface in all weather conditions, day and night with a resolution of less than 1 m. By mathe-matical modelling of satellite radar data and by ex-ploring image data mining techniques we are able to provide information about the Earth’s surface and type of reflection. By observing image patches different physical parameters can be extracted as for example types of buildings, types of settlements, vegetation type and humidity of the surface of the Earth. Using a pair of satellites an interferometric radar data can be obtain and from the phase shift between the received signals relief of the earth's surface, moving objects, landslides, forest change detection, biomass estimation can be extracted. We have been involved in developing of small range radar systems and techniques for detecting objects behind the walls.

RAZVOJ PROTOTIPA NAPRAVE ZA AVTOMATSKO REGULACIJO PLOVNOSTI POTAPLJAČAPotapljači uporabljajo potapljaške jopiče za uravnavanje plovnosti in spreminjanje globine potopa. To izvedejo z ročnim odpiranjem venti-lov za polnjenje in praznjenje raztegljivega jopiča in s tem spreminjanja plovnosti. Že od začetka modernega potapljanja obstaja želja potaplja-čev po avtomatskem vodenju globine potopov. Osnova za učinkovito regulacijo plovnosti je znanje o obnašanju sistema na osnovi matematič-nega modeliranja. Projekt predstavlja podrobni dinamični matematični model potapljača z vso opremo. Natančnost modela je bila potrjena s primerjavo simulacijskih rezultatov z merilnimi rezultati številnih eksperimentov. Izdelan je pro-totip naprave za avtomatsko regulacijo plovnosti z uporabo stisljivega jopiča. Naprava lahko omeji hitrosti spuščanja in dviganja potapljača, zagotavlja regulacijo želene hitrosti in globine v odvisnosti od motenj iz okolja in omogoča zajem in shranjevanje podatkov za analizo potopov. Pro-totip naprave je bil testiran z opremo vodilnega proizvajalca potapljaške opreme.

A DIVER’S AUTOMATIC BUOYANCY CONTROL DEVICE (BCD) AND ITS PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENTDivers commonly use buoyancy vests for mainte-nance and changing depth. They do this by manu-ally actuating two pneumatic valves that cause the jacket’s volume to expand or shrink, thus changing its buoyancy. The desire of divers for a device that would automatically modify or maintain depth has been present since the beginning of modern diving using a buoyancy vest. A prerequisite for successful buoyancy control is definitely knowledge of the system’s behaviour based on mathematical modelling. This project proposes a detailed dy-namic model of a diver with all its accessories. The accuracy of the model was validated by comparing simulation results with the measurement results of various experiments. The presented prototype device has been developed for automatic buoyancy control using flexible BCD. This device can limit ascending and descending velocities, ensure a diver’s requested depth and velocity are controlled, minimize any depth and velocity errors in relation to disturbances from the environment, and record all captured data for dive analyses. The prototype device has been fully tested by one of the leading manufacturers of diving equipment.

RAZVOJ MODIFICIRANE ROBUSTNE VARILNE NAPRAVE ZA MIG/MAG VARJENJE VISOKOTRDNOSTNIH JEKEL Kvaliteta izhodnega varilnega toka in napetosti va-rilne naprave pri elektro-obločnem procesu varjenja pomembno vpliva na kvaliteto varjenega izdelka. Za zagotavljanje visoke kakovosti varilnih zvarov je v moderni varilni napravi nujna uporaba vgrajenih regulacijskih sistemov. V sodelovanju z raziskovalci iz podjetja Varstoj in Inštituta za varilstvo smo pripravili analizo tehničnih zahtev in predlagali možne izvedbe robustnih varilnih izvorov. Re-zultati so bili uporabljeni pri razvoju prototipa moderne varilne naprave s tiristorsko tehnologijo. V sodelovanju s Fakulteto za strojništvo Univerze v Ljubljani smo varilno napravo preizkusili v podje-tjih ADK in Litostroj Steel. Kakovost zvarov je bila preizkušena in potrjena z uporabo ultrazvočnih in rentgenskih nedestruktivnih metod. Rezultati so potrdili primernost novega tiristorskega varilnega krmilnika, vgrajenega v varilno napravo VARMIG 600 T44 Synergy, za varjenje različnih materialov v umazanem industrijskem okolju.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE MODIFIED ROBUST WELDING DEVICE FOR MIG/MAG WELDING OF HIGH-STRENGTH STEELThe quality of output welding current and voltage of a Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) power source has an important influence on the quality of welding product. With the aim of maintain-ing a high quality of welding results, the real time control system is an important element of a modern welding machine. Together with research team of company Varstroj, and Welding Institute we prepared the analysis of technical requirements and possible implementations of robust welding power source. Results are used for the develop-ment of a functional prototype of modern welding power source based on thyristor technology. In the cooperation with Faculty of Mechanical Engineer-ing, University of Ljubljana, the welding machine was extensively tested by manufacturers ADK and Litostroj Steel. The quality of joints was evaluated and confirmed by ultrasonic and X-ray non-de-structive methods. Finally, it was confirmed that the new thyristor technology integrated in welding machine Varmig 600 T44 Synergy is suitable and reliable for the weldings of different materials in a dusty environment.

TEHNOLOGIJA ZA MIKRO OBDELAVO OPTIČNIH VLAKEN Razvili smo tehnologijo za mikro obdelavo optič-nih vlaken, ki lahko preoblikuje košček optičnega vlakna v kompleksno 3-D fotonsko mikrostruk-turo. Proces temelji na mikroobdelavi, ki sloni na nadzoru hitrosti jedkanja, ki ga dosežemo z vnosom dopandov, na primer fosforjevega pento-ksida, v silicijevo steklo ob uporabi standardnega postopka za proizvodnjo optičnih vlaken. Rezultati kažejo, da lahko dopiranje s P2O5 vodi v tvorbo področij, ki se jedkajo tudi do 100-krat hitreje kakor čisto silicijevo steklo v fluorovodikovi kislini. To omogoča nove možnosti za izdelavo komple-ksnih vlakenskih mikro naprav. Slednje vključujejo predvsem mikro optične senzorje, vključno s sen-zorji, ki temeljijo na Fabry-Perotvih resonatorjih. Nekaj mikro naprav je prikazano na sliki spodaj: (a) Mikro resonator, (b) Mikro celica, (c) Mikro celica/RI senzor na vrhu vlakna, (d) Tlačni senzor (stransko poliran, da se prikaže membrana), (e) Evanscentna linijska naparava s stransko oporo, (f ) senzor raztezka, (g) mikro žička. Tehnologija je bila razvita v tesnem sodelovanju s podjetjem Optacore.

MICROMACHINING OF OPTICAL FIBERS USING SELECTIVE ETCHING A maskless micromachining process was developed that can reform or reshape a section of an optical fiber into a complex 3D photonic microstructure. This proposed micromachining process is based on the etching rate control achieved by the introduction of dopands, for example phosphorus pentoxide, into silica glass through standard fiber manufacturing technology. The results show that P2O5-doping can be used for creating large highly preferentially-etchable (sacrificial) layers within optical-fibers. Regions within a fiber cross-section doped with P2O5 can etch up to 100 times faster than pure silica when exposed to hydrofluoric acid. This opens up possibilities for creating complex all-fiber micro-photonic devices. These manly include various micro-optical sensors, including those based on Fabry-Perot resonators. Several micro-phonics devices are shown in the Figure: (a) Micro-resonator, (b) Micro-cell, (c) Micro-cell/RI sensor on the fiber tip, (d) Pressure sensor (side polished to expose diaphragm), (e) Evanescent In-line device with side support, (f ) Strain sensor, (g) In-line micro-wire). This technology was developed in close collaboration with SME Optacore.

RAZVOJ POSTOPKOV PROCESIRANJA IN RAZPOZNAVANJA SLOVENSKEGA GOVORANa področju sodobnih komunikacijskih vmesnikov človek–stroj smo razvili novo metodo za avtomatsko določanje značilk, odvisnih od emocij. Ta vključuje dvonivojsko procesiranje značilk. Definirali smo stopnjo podobnosti izražanja emocij in izvedli večje-zično analizo emocionalnega govora, ki je slonela na razpoložljivosti baz izgovarjav, izvedenih ob upošte-vanju enakih specifikacij. Analiza je pokazala, da so posamezni govorci za izražanje posameznih emocij uporabljali zanje karakteristični nabor izločenih značilk in tudi njihove vrednosti. Predlagali smo metodo za avtomatsko tvorjenje fonetičnih razredov, ki jih uporabljamo pri inicializaciji odločitvenih dreves med postopkom združevanja akustičnih modelov razpoznavalnika govora. Postopek omogoča razvoj tako enojezičnih kot večjezičnih sistemov razpoznavanja govora. Z uporabo razvitega postopka se izognemo potrebi po ekspertnem lingvističnem znanju, ki bi ga potrebovali za vse vključene jezike, in sicer v fazi inicializacije večjezičnih odločitvenih dreves v postopku gradnje sistema.

DEVELOPMENT OF ALGORITHMS FOR SPEECH PROCESSING AND RECOGNITIONIn the field of advanced man-machine interfaces we have developed a new method for automatic definition of emotion dependent features. The ratio of emotional expression similarity between two speakers was defined and the multilingual analysis of emotional speech was carried out. The analysis revealed that almost all speakers in the analysis used unique sets of emotion-dependent features and each speaker used unique values for the defined emotion-dependent features. A new method was developed also for automatic da-ta-driven generation of phonetic broad classes. The phonetic broad classes are needed for the initialisa-tion of a decision tree, which is being used for the clustering of acoustic models for speech recogni-tion. The method is very suitable for multi-lingual case, where it is difficult to find an expert with equal knowledge of all languages in the pool. Such knowledge is needed in the phase of initialising multi-lingual decision trees for developing an auto-matic speech recognition system.

RAZVOJ IZJAVNE LOGIKE RAZVEJANEGA ČASANa področju uporabe formalnih metod pri snova-nju sistemov smo definirali novo izjavno temporal-no logiko razvejanega časa ACTLW (Action-based Computation Tree Logic with unless operator – ak-cijska logika dreves, izvajanj z operatorjem unless). Definirana logika je fleksibilnejša od ACTL, saj dovoljuje in ne vsiljuje uporabe skritega dogodka τ. Za razliko od ACTL ima podobno lepe last-nosti kot CTL: vsebuje operator unless, ki poveča izraznost logike, tvorjenje formul je lažje, za opis značilnih lastnosti lahko uporabimo vzorce formul CTL, veljajo podobne ekvivalence med formulami kot za CTL, preverjanje modelov za vse možne formule je možno implementirati z algoritmi za nekaj osnovnih operatorjev, algoritmi pa so zelo podobni kot algoritmi z računanjem fiksnih točk za CTL. Namenjena je formalni specifikaciji lastnosti sistemov, opisanih z dogodkovno usmerjenimi modeli. Razvili smo algoritme za globalno preverja-nje modelov formul ACTLW z računanjem fiksnih točk in uporabo simbolične predstavitve. Imple-mentirali smo jih v lastnem prototipnem program-skem paketu EST (Efficient Symbolic Tools).

DEVELOPMENT OF PROPOSITIONAL BRANCHING-TIME TEMPORAL LOGIC ACTLWIn the field of formal methods in system design a new propositional branching-time temporal logic ACTLW (Action-based Computation Tree Logic with unless operator) was defined. It is intended for formally specifying the properties of systems described by using event-based models. It is more flexible than ACTL, as it allows but does not force the use of hidden action τ. In contrast to ACTL, it has some nice properties similar to CTL: it contains the unless operator, which makes it more expressive; writing of formulae is easier, and typical properties can be specified using CTL-like patterns; valid equivalences between formulae are similar to CTL; model checking for all possible formulae can be implemented with algorithms for a few basic operators, and the algorithms are very similar to the fixed-point algorithms for CTL. Algorithms for global model checking of ACTLW formulae by using fixed-point calculations and symbolic representations were also developed. They have been implemented in the proprietary software package EST (Efficient Symbolic Tools).

TRISAT A SMALL SLOVENIAN SATELLITE WITH GREAT POTENTIALNano satellites have definitely found their place in today’s space industry. They can deliver new technologies into orbit in a short amount of time for a fraction of the price of larger satellites with more launch opportunities available. New technologies can be demonstrated and evaluated much faster and cheaper by lowering the financial risk involved. TRISAT mission is an important step towards internationalisation of the Slovenian space industry by gaining higher readiness levels for technology, promoting space engineering and fostering in-ternational collaboration. The innovative system miniaturisation and new technology demonstration by the TRISAT mission will provide further market competences for new products being developed by Slovenian companies. TRISAT is a nano satellite mission aimed at establishing mutual cooperation between the Slovenian university and the Slovenian space industry. It helps to facilitate knowledge and technology transfer between the university and the economy through innovations and technologies and with effective support service of entrepreneurship and innovative ecosystem, resulting in a symbiotic relationship between both spheres.The TRISAT mission is primarily led by the On-Board Data Handling (OBDH) team, which was established as part of University of Maribor’s involvement in the European student Moon Orbiter (ESMO) mission from ESA. The team currently combines students from many different fields of expertise. Through the TRISAT mission, they would get a unique and inspirational opportunity, which would provide them with valuable and challenging hands-on space project experience. The TRISAT mission would also lower the entry-level for space exploration, which would allow the university to carry out various space-related project activities. This would attract younger students to the OBDH team,

expanding the number of students with expe-rience in space technologies who graduate

from the University of Maribor.

TRISAT – MAJHEN SLOVENSKI SATELIT Z VELIKIM POTENCIALOMNano sateliti predstavljajo pomemben segment v da-našnji vesoljski industriji, saj lahko novo tehnologijo hitro in poceni prenašajo v vesolje. Nova tehnologija se tako demonstrira in ovrednoti mnogo hitreje in ceneje, kar znižuje finančno tveganje na tem podro-čju. Misija TRISAT predstavlja pomemben korak internacionalizacije slovenske vesoljske industrije z ovrednotenjem njene tehnologije, promocijo vesoljskega inženirstva in spodbujanja mednarodne-ga sodelovanja. Inovativna minimizacija sistemov in tehnološka demonstracija misije TRISAT bo zagotovila kompetence trga za slovenske vesoljske proizvode. TRISAT je misija nano satelita, ki cilja na vzpostavitev medsebojnega sodelovanja med slovensko univerzo in slovensko vesoljsko industrijo.

PROGRAMSKO DEFINIRANA ZEMELJSKA POSTAJAPo pogodbi z ESA kot naročnikom smo razvi-li programsko definirano zemeljsko postajo za komunikacijo s sateliti. Njena pomembnost je v zmanjševanju monolitne in strojno naravnane narave zemeljskih postaj. Poglavitni cilji projekta so bili prenos večine splošnih komponent sistema zemeljske postaje na nivo programske opreme. Na ta način se omogoči znatna količina oddaljenega vzdrževanja na nivoju programske opreme. To omogoča preproste nadgradnje in pospešuje razvoj novih komunikacijskih tehnologij. Draga nad-gradnja strojne opreme se zmanjša ali celo izniči. Ta pristop omogoča skoraj celovito programsko rešitev za funkcionalnost zemeljskih postaj. UM FERI razvija nano satelit TRISAT, satelit, ki je težak manj kot 4 kg, je namenjen izstrelitvi v sončno sinhrono orbito. Programsko definirana zemeljska postaja je bila zgrajena tudi za namene te misije, in sicer z namenom podatkovne poveza-ve s satelitom.

SOFTWARE DEFINED GROUND STATIONUnder a contract with ESA as a customer, we developed a Software Defined Ground Station for communication with satellites. Its significance is to reduce the monolithic and hardware centric nature of Ground Stations. The main objectives of the project were to move the majority of the generic ground station system components to the software layer, thereby enabling a significant amount of remote maintenance, which is then performed on the software level. This provides easy upgrades and facilitates the development of new communication technologies. Expensive hardware upgrades are reduced or even eliminated. This approach provides a near complete software solution to ground station functionality. UM FERI is planning to develop a small satellite, TRISAT. This satellite weighing less than 4 kg is planned to be launched into a sun-syn-chronous orbit. In support of this mission, a satellite ground station was constructed in order to remotely control and acquire data from the satellite.

NAVORNO VODENJE ASINHRONSKEGA STROJA NA OSNOVI VEKTORJA STATORSKEGA TOKARazvili smo nov koncept za navorno vodenje AM, ki je izpeljano na osnovi modela v koordinatah statorskega toka. Obstoječe rešitve temeljijo na rotorskem (FOC) oziroma statorskem magnetnem sklepu (DTC), ki sta vodena ali programirana direktno. V predlagani rešitvi je navor generiran z istočasnim spreminjanjem iznosa in frekvence sta-torskega toka, kar implicitno spreminja tudi vektor rotorskega magnetnega sklepa na način, ki zago-tavlja globalno stabilnost zaprtozančnega sistema. Vodenje dodatno zagotavlja maksimalno razmerje med navorom in iznosom toka v ustaljenih stanjih in dobro sledenje navorni referenci tudi v področju magnetnega nasičenja. Predlagano vodenje temelji na delni dinamični inverziji reduciranega modela, ki zagotavlja enoumno preslikavo med navorom, vektorjem statorskega toka in vektorjem rotorskega magnetnega sklepa. Problem singularnosti pri rotor-skem magnetnem sklepu enakem nič ne predstavlja omejitve za predlagano rešitev. Sama implementaci-ja vodenja zahteva estimacijo navorne komponente rotorskega magnetnega sklepa in kaskadne tokovne regulatorje. Na osnovi množice eksperimentalnih rezultatov so bile potrjene ključne izhodiščne hipo-teze in izboljšave glede energijske učinkovitosti in doseganja visoke dinamike.

IM TORQUE CONTROL SCHEMES BASED ON STATOR CURRENT VECTORWe have developed an IM torque control de-rived from the model in the stator current vector reference frame. The required torque is produced by simultaneously manipulating the magnitude and the rotation speed of the stator current vector thus forcing the rotor flux linkage vector to change implicitly in such a way that overall stability is preserved. Additional control features include max-imal torque per ampere ratio in steady state and almost perfect command tracking even if the ma-chine is magnetically saturated. The control adopts a cascaded structure and is based on a partial dy-namic inversion of the reduced model that assures existence and uniqueness of the inverse mapping between the required torque, the rotor flux linkage vector and the stator current vector. Singularity at zero rotor flux linkage represents no restriction for the control performance in the admissible machine operating range. The implementation of the pro-posed control requires the estimation of the torque producing rotor flux component and cascaded stator current controllers. Experimental results con-firm the key expectations and show the potential and benefits of the proposed control schemes.

NAPRAVA IN POSTOPEK ZA NAPREDNO VODENJE TRANSFORMATORJA ZA UPOROVNO TOČKOVNO VARJENJE Patent ščiti razviti sistem naprednega vodenja transformatorja za uporovno točkovno varjenje, ki temelji na merjenju varilnega toka in magnetne gostote v jedru transformatorja. Varilni tok na izhodu iz polnovalnega diodnega usmernika je v obstoječih izvedbah varilnih sistemov za uporovno točkovno varjenje voden s pomočjo pulzno širinsko modulirane napajalne napetosti varilnega trans-formatorja. Nesimetrične razmere v električnem tokokrogu varilnega sistema ob magnetno neurav-noteženi zgradbi varilnega transformatorja ima za posledico naraščajoč amplitudni premik magnetne gostote v jedru varilnega transformatorja, kar povzroči magnetno nasičenje. Posledica magnetne-ga nasičenja so velike tokovne konice v primarnem toku, ki lahko povzročijo izklop naprave. Izvedba naprednega vodenja s predlagano tehnično rešitvijo v celoti odpravlja probleme velikih tokovnih konic na primarni strani transformatorja, saj preprečuje nasičenje jedra transformatorja, ki pri klasičnih sistemih vodenja povzroča velike tokovne konice.

ADVANCE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR RESISTANCE SPOT WELDINGThis patent protect the developed advanced control system for spot welding transformer, which is based on measurement of welding current and flux density in the transformer iron core. The welding current at the output of a full–wave rectifier is usually controlled by the pulse width modulated primary voltage of the transformer supplied by the input converter. The unequal ohmic resistances of the two transformer’s secondary circuits and the different characteristics of the diodes of output rectifier certainly lead to the magnetic saturation which, consequently, causes the unwanted spikes in the transformer’s primary current and over–current protection switch–off. This disadvantage of classical spot welding systems is completely eliminated by the protected advanced hysteresis controller (AHC), which keeps transformer iron core satu-ration within prescribed bounds regardless of how unequal the ohmic resistances and diode character-istics in the transformer’s.

MERILNI SISTEM ZA KARAKTERIZACIJO MAGNETNIH TEKOČIN V VISOKOFREKVENČNEM MAGNETNEM POLJU Dvajsetletno raziskovalno delo na področju karak-terizacije magnetnih materialov smo v zadnjem desetletju razširili še na razvoj merilnih metod za določanje grelne moči magnetnih tekočin v visokofrekvenčnem magnetnem polju. Bistveni del takšne karakterizacije je merilni sistem, ki je vklju-čen v merilno vezje, iz katerega je podatke možno zajemati avtomatično. Prednosti sistema so poljub-na količina vzorca med 1,0 in 5,0 ml, spremenljiva frekvenca magnetnega polja od 10 kHz do 1,0 MHz, natančna meritev temperature za določitev grelne moči vzorca po SAR-metodi in meritev veličin magnetnega polja z edinstvenim sistemom merilnih tuljavic za karakterizacijo superparama-gnetnih vzorcev. Slednja predstavlja velik izziv, saj imajo merjeni vzorci izjemno nizko susceptibilnost. Za alternativno metodo določanja grelne moči na osnovi histereze (specific power loss), ki smo jo razvili v laboratoriju, smo potrdili primerljivost z drugimi metodami. Cilj meritev je karakteristi-ka specifične moči gretja magnetne tekočine za različne frekvence magnetnega polja. Nadgradnja sistema je tudi toplotna kopel, kjer lahko vzorcu (okolici) nastavimo poljubno temperature in tako izvajamo karakterizacijo pri želeni temperature, največkrat pri 37°C, saj za potrebe biomedicine to temperaturo uporabljajo za izhodišče pri segrevanju tkiv.

A MEASUREMENT SYSTEM FOR THE CHARACTERIZATION OF MAGNETIC FLUID IN THE HIGH-FREQUENCY MAGNETIC FIELDIn the last decade our research work is expanded from characterization of magnetic materials to the development of measurement methods for deter-mining the heating power of magnetic fluids in high-frequency magnetic field. Measurement sys-tem is an essential part of such a characterization. It is embedded in the measuring circuit capable of automatically data acquisition. The advantages of this system are: flexible sample quantity ranging from 1.0 ml to 5.0 ml, a variable frequency ranging from 10 kHz to 1 MHz, exact temperature meas-urements for SAR determination using calorimetric method and exact measurements of magnetic field variables using unique system of pickup coils for characterization of superparamagnetic samples. The latter poses a major challenge, as the measured samples have extremely low susceptibility. Eval-uation of the hysteresis surface is an alternative method of determining the heating power (specific power loss), where we confirmed the comparability with other methods. The objective of this research is characterization of specific heating power charac-teristics of magnetic fluid for various magnetic field frequency. The system upgrade consists a thermal bath, where a sample (its surroundings) can be set to an arbitrary temperature, hence the characteri-zation can be performed at selected temperature; usually at 37 ° C since medical hyperthermia uses this temperature as their base value for heating.

VISOKO PRECIZNO VODENJE SERVOPOGONOVRaziskane so prednosti uporabe in izvedljivost vodenja električnih motorjev z uporabo zelo hitrih (MHz) preklapljanj namesto klasičnih ojačeval-nikov. Predlagan je integriran pristop vodenja, ki temelji na pristopu dogodkovno orientiranega vo-denja in ga je mogoče izvesti z digitalno logiko. Sti-kalni pretvornik združuje regulacijo toka in hitrosti v eno samo regulacijsko zanko. Navor obremenje-vanja ocenjuje modelno referenčni opazovalnik. Algoritem vodenja je izveden na platformi FPGA.

HIGH PRECISION MOTION CONTROL OF SERVO DRIVESThis project deals with the advantages and feasi-bility of a motor control principle using very fast (in megahertz) switching in place of traditional amplifiers. We also propose integrated motion con-trol architecture based on the discrete event control approach to be implemented in digital logic at an equally high rate. A switching controller combines the current and motion feedback paths into a single loop. A model based observer estimates the load torque. The control algorithm designed by the proposed approach can be easily implemented on field programmable gate array (FPGA) platforms.

ALGORITEM PULZNO ŠIRINSKE MODULACIJE ZA POPRAVEK FAKTORJA PREMAKNITVE ZA TRIFAZNI USMERNIK, ZASNOVAN NA STRUKTURI PRETVORNIKA NAVZDOLRazvili smo algoritem za pulzno širinske modula-cije (PŠM) za trifazni usmernik za primer, ko sta v vhodnih faznih napetostih prisotna tretji in peti harmonik. Matematična analiza, ki je bila zasnova-na na ustreznem dodajanju vpliva teh harmonskih komponent v funkcije prevajalnega razmerja, je omogočila delovanje usmernika s faktorjem premaknitve ena. Na osnovi teoretičnih izsledkov je predlagan algoritem PŠM, ki omogoča dosego delovanja usmernika s faktorjem premaknitve ena brez uporabe tokovnih merilnikov. PŠM algoritem je teoretično raziskan in opisan, njegova uporab-nost pa je potrjena s simulacijo in eksperimentom.

IDF-CORRECTION-BASED PWM ALGORITHM FOR A THREE-PHASE AC-DC BUCK CONVERTERWe have developed a pulse-width-modulation (PWM) algorithm for a Three-phase ac-dc rectifier, where the third and fifth harmonics are indicat-ed in the input phase voltages. A mathematical analysis, which includes this voltage harmonic’s components, shows that the unity input displace-ment factor (IDF) can be reached by appropriate evaluation of duty cycle functions. A PWM algo-rithm is proposed based on this developed theo-retical achievement. This approach enables current sensor-less unity IDF rectification. The PWM algorithms investigated theoretically and verified by simulations and experiment.

IZVEDBA REGULACIJSKEGA ALGORITMA V DRSNEM REŽIMU ZA SKALIRANO BILATERALNO TELEOPERIRANJE Z FPGA VEZJEMRazvili smo regulacijski algoritem, izpeljan z metodo vodenja v drsnem režimu, v izvedbi na FPGA vezju. V postopku načrtovanja algoritma smo nezvezno vodenje nadomestili z zveznim. Tako smo dosegli delovanje brez neželenega drhtenja in hkrati ohranili praktično robustnost na motnje. Izvedba algoritma je tudi preprosta, pri čemer ne potrebujemo modela regulacijske proge. Za kvalite-tno skalirano bilateralno teleoperiranje je potrebno zagotoviti tudi visoko frekvenco tipanja signalov in osveževanja regulacijske veličine. Zato smo regula-cijski algoritem izvedli z FPGA vezjem. Predstavili smo optimizacijske pristope, s katerimi lahko mini-miziramo potrebne strojne vire na FPGA vezju in optimiziramo regulacijski interval. Uporabili smo LabVIEW programski jezik za hitro gradnjo proto-tipov. Vse algoritme smo eksperimentalno preverili in potrdili z enoosnim laboratorijskim sistemom za bilateralno teleoperiranje.

FPGA IMPLEMENTATION OF SLIDING MODE CONTROL ALGORITHM FOR SCALED BILATERAL TELEOPERATIONWe have developed a FPGA based Sliding Mode Controller for scaled bilateral tele-operation. The control algorithm is derived at by using the sliding mode control based design approach. This applied design procedure replaces a discontinuous control with a continuous one. Thus, it guarantees chatter-ing-free performance whilst retaining practical ro-bustness regarding disturbances, and provides easy model-free implementation. A high control rate is strongly required in order to achieve high-perfor-mance scaled bilateral teleo-peration. Hence, the control algorithm is implemented by the FPGA. In order to design a sufficient logic circuit for the FPGA, general optimisation approaches are presented with the aim of minimising hardware resources, and to optimise the control rate. The design applies high-level programming language (LabVIEW) for rapid prototyping. The presented algorithms were validated by the 2DoF laboratory bilateral tele-operation system.

ŠTIRIKVADRANTNI POGONSKI SISTEM ZA TFM MOTORJE MOČI 50 KWV okviru projekta KC SURE je bil razvit štirikva-drantni pretvornik za pogonski sistem električnih motorjev s prečnim fluksom (TFM). Sistem omo-goča dvosmerni pretok energije med omrežjem in električnim motorjem in korekcijo faktorja moči. V okviru strojne opreme je bil izdelan trifazni stikalni pretvornik, ki kot stikala uporablja IGBT tranzistor-je. Uporabljen je lahko kot aktivni trifazni usmernik ali kot razsmernik za napajanje izmeničnih motorjev. Prožilna stopnja je integrirana z IGBT modulom. Izbrana je bila izvedba galvansko ločenega proženja. Možna je izvedba z vodnim ali zračnim hlajenjem. Programska oprema se izvaja na 32 bitnem mikrokr-milniku z jedrom digitalnega signalnega procesorja, vendar brez enote za računanje s plavajočo vejico (FPU). Osnova je dogodkovno orientiran sistem vodenja, ki je izveden z uporabo prekinitvene logike mikrokrmilnika. Kot prekinitvene rutine niso izdelani samo programi za delovanje v realnem času, ampak tudi velik del zaščitnih funkcij.

50 KW FOURQUADRANT TFM DRIVE SYSTEMA four quadrant 50kW inverter system for a trans-verse flux machine (TFM) was developed within the framework of the KC SURE project. The system enables bidirectional energy flow between power grid and electric machine, as well as power factor correction. Within the framework of hard-ware design a three phase switching inverter, which uses IGBTs as switches, was developed. It can be used either as an active three phase rectifier or an inverter for electric motors. Driver circuits are integrated within the IGBT module. Implementa-tion with galvanic isolated triggering was chosen. Air and water cooling are possible. The software is executed on a 32 bit microcontroller with a digital signal processor core, without floating point unit (FPU). The basis is event oriented control system, which is implemented using a microcontroller interrupt logic. Not only the real time algorithms, but also protective functions, are implemented as interrupt routines.

NAPETOSTNA IN TOKOVNA REGULACIJA PRETVORNIKA NAVZDOL ZASNOVANA NA MERJENJU INTEGRALOV TOKA IN NAPETOST IZVEDENA Z FPGA Razvili smo digitalno reguliran DC-DC buck-pre-tvornik s FPGA vezjem. Regulacija napetosti in tok je bila zasnovana na uporabi napetost krmi-ljenega oscilatorja (VCO), za meritev integrala iz-hodne napetosti in toka dušilke. S pomočjo VCO oscilatorja in digitalnih števcev so bili izmerjeni potrebni integrali merjenih veličin. V analogni tehniki se v ta namen uporablja meritev trenutne vrednosti toka, kar se uporablja za stikalno »ak-cijo«. Takšen način ni primeren za digitalizacijo, medtem ko pa integralski princip omogoča eno-stavno digitalizacijo tega procesa. Vse potrebne obdelave signalov so bile izvedena v FPGA vezju. Algoritem je bil preverjen s simulacijo in eksperi-mentom pri stikalni frekvenci 25 kHz.

VOLTAGE AND CURRENT-MODE CONTROL FOR A BUCK-CONVERTER BASED ON MEASURED INTEGRAL VALUES OF VOLTAGE AND CURRENT IMPLEMENTED IN FPGA. We have developed a complete digitally controlled dc-dc buck-converter performed by FPGA circuitry. The voltage and current mode control is based on a voltage control oscillator (VCO) performed meas-urements regarding output-voltage and inductor-cur-rent, respectively. This measurement principle also uses digital-counters (digital integrators) in order to obtain integral values for the output-voltage and inductor-current. In analogue current-mode control the instantaneous inductor current-value-measure-ment is used for the switching action. When the VCO is used for the inductor current measurement, the integral is measured during the switching on-time set as observation interval and the switching action occurs based on this measurement. Such a principle enables full digitalisation of the voltage and current-control loop. All the tasks for current and voltage control were implemented within the FPGA. The algorithm was verified by simulation and experi-mentation at a switching-frequency of 25 kHz.

LINEARNI ALGORITEM ZA PRAFAKTORIZACIJO KARTEZIČNEGA PRODUKTA GRAFOVGrafovski produkti, med njimi še posebej kartezični produkt, predstavljajo eno izmed možnosti, kako pristopiti k analizi velikih omrežij. Sodelovali smo pri objavi linearnega algoritma za prafaktorizaci-jo kartezičnega produkta, za kar so avtorji prejeli čestitke D. E. Knutha. Sam algoritem temelji na razvrščanju (pogosto imenovano kar barvanje) povezav po lastnosti, in sicer se vse povezave istega barvnega razreda v produktu s projekcijo preslikajo v isti faktor. Algoritem začne razvrščanje v vozlišču najmanjše stopnje, kjer je vsaka povezava v svojem barvnem razredu. Nato sledi razvrščanje povezav glede na BFS urejenost vozlišč, pri čemer je ob vsaki težavi potrebno združiti enega ali več barvnih razredov. Linearnost algoritma temelji na lastnostih kartezičnega produkta, ki omogočajo leksikografsko sortiranje, ob tem pa je potrebno veliko spretnosti in manipuliranja z organiziranostjo podatkovnih struktur samega grafa. Bolj natančno: na določenem koraku algoritma je potrebno zagotoviti preverjanje sosednosti dveh vozlišč v konstantnem času, za kar je potrebna matrika sosednosti. Žal generiranje le-te v osnovi pokvari linearnost. Uporabili smo trik, da matrika ni potrebna v celoti, pač pa v danem trenutku le ena vrstica matrike, katere generiranje je omogočilo ohranitev linearnosti. Ob tem je potrebno zagotoviti tudi, da se posamezna vrstica ne generira prevečkrat, saj tudi to pokvari linearnost.

LINEAR ALGORITHM FOR PRIME FACTORIZATION OF CARTESIAN PRODUCT OF GRAPHSGraph products and amongst them in particular the Cartesian product present one option for approach-ing the big network analysis. We have collaborated by publication of a linear algorithm for prime factor decomposition for which they obtained congratu-lations from D. E. Knuth. The algorithm itself is based on distribution (often called coloring) of edg-es by the property that all edges of a graph which projects to the same factor are members of the same colour class. The algorithm starts in a vertex of min-imum degree, where every edge is in his own colour class. Distribution then follows to a BFS vertex order, where every problem cause the merging of two or more colour classes. The algorithm’s linearity is based on the properties of the Cartesian product, which allow for lexicographic sort of edges. In this way a lot of skills and manipulation with data struc-ture is needed. More specifically, within a given step of the algorithm one needs to verify the adjacency of two vertices in constant time. For this one needs the adjacency matrix. Unfortunately, the generation of this matrix already breaks the linearity. This can be avoided, as one does not need the whole matrix at one step, but only one line of the matrix and gen-erating this line does not break the linearity. Besides that, one line of adjacency matrix can be generated only finitely many times, so as not to spoil linearity.

BALABANOV INDEKS KUBIČNIH GRAFOVKemijska teorija grafov je sodobna in hitro razvi-jajoča se interdisciplinarna veja znanosti v preseku diskretne matematike, kombinatorike in teoretične kemije. Eno izmed najpomembnejših področij, s katerimi se kemijska teorija grafov ukvarja, so topološki indeksi, ki se uporabljajo npr. pri razvoju kvantitativnih relacij med strukturo in aktivnostjo (QSAR), v katerih so biološke, farmacevtske ter druge lastnosti molekul, korelirane z njihovo struk-turo. Balabanov indeks, ki ga je pred približno 30 leti vpeljal Alexandru T. Balaban, sodi med inde-kse, ki temeljijo na razdalji med vozlišči. Medtem ko so opisne lastnosti Balabanovega indeksa precej znane, njegove matematične lastnosti niso bile obravnavane v veliki meri. Prispevali smo k dokazu zgornje meje za Balabanov indeks regularnih grafov na n-vozliščih, kjer smo posebno pozornost posvetili kubičnim grafom, med katere sodijo tudi fulereni, za katere smo podali tudi izboljšano zgornjo mejo. Le-ta nam je omogočila dokazati, da se z večanjem števila vozlišč v fulerenu Balaba-nov indeks približuje vrednosti nič. To pomeni, da Balabanov indeks ne loči dobro dovolj velikih fulerenov, kar je nekoliko presenetljiv rezultat glede na to da se Balabanov indeks v literaturi omenja tudi kot »izostren Wienerjev indeks«. Pričakovali smo namreč, da Balabanov indeks grafe bolje loči kot Wienerjev indeks.

BALABAN INDEX OF CUBIC GRAPHSThe chemical graph theory is a recent and rapidly developing interdisciplinary science branch at the boundary line of discrete mathematics, combinat-orics and theoretical chemistry. One of the diverse fields of research covered by Chemical graph theory deals with topological indices, used for example in the development of quantitative structure activ-ity relationships (QSARs) in which the biolog-ical, pharmacological, medical activity or other properties of molecules are correlated with their chemical structure. The Balaban index, introduced by Alexandru T. Balaban near to 30 years ago is a distance-based index. While the descriptive prop-erties of the Balaban index were widely discussed, its mathematical properties are still rarely studied. We participated in finding an upper bound for the Balaban index of regular graphs on n verti-ces, where special attention was devoted to cubic graphs, and a better upper bound was given for fullerene graphs. This bound enabled us to show, that the Balaban index tends to zero as the number of vertices in a fullerene increases. This means that Balaban index does not distinguish well the fuller-ene graphs when they are sufficiently large, which is a somewhat surprising result as in the literature the Balaban index is also called a “sharpened Wie-ner index” as it was expected that it distinguishes graphs better than the Wiener index.

OHRANJEVALCI K-TE KY-FANOVE NORME JORDANSKEGA PRODUKTAProblem posplošenih ohranjevalcev v zadnjem času zanima veliko raziskovalcev na področju linearne algebre in teorije operatorjev. Za dano preslikavo, definirano na neki algebri, z vrednostmi v isti ali kaki drugi algebri, predpostavimo, da ohranja določeno funkcijo, relacijo ali množico. Naš cilj je določiti in dokazati strukturo take preslikave. Omenimo, da ne predpostavimo niti aditivnosti niti multiplikativnosti. Kljub temu se pogosto primeri, da na podlagi lastnosti ohranjanja uspemo dokazati, da mora biti obravnavana preslikava aditivna in multiplikativna ali pa vsaj zelo blizu taki preslikavi. Pomembni primeri takih preslikav so jordanski izomorfizmi. Mnoge probleme ohra-njanja lahko razumemo tudi kot karakterizacije jordanskih izomorfizmov le na podlagi lastnosti ohranjanja. Znano je, da je k-ta Ky-Fanova norma kompleksne matrike vsota k njenih največjih singu-larnih vrednosti in je tako poseben primer unitarno invariantne norme. Obravnavali smo preslikave na algebri vseh kompleksnih n-krat-n matrik (n ≥ 2), ki ohranjajo k-to Ky-Fanovo normo (2≤k≤n) po-sebnega, v matematiki zelo pomembnega produkta, ki mu rečemo jordanski produkt: AoB=AB+BA. Ob dodatni predpostavki surjektivnosti ali uni-talnosti smo dokazali, da je preslikava jordanski zvezdica-izomorfizem, pomnožen s funkcijo z vrednostmi v enotskem krogu kompleksne ravnine, in možnim drugačnim (a določenim) obnašanjem na kaki podmnožici skalarnih mnogokratnikov unitarnih matrik.

PRESERVERS OF K-TH KY-FAN NORM OF JORDAN PRODUCTGeneral preserver problems have recently occupied many researchers interested in Linear algebra and Operator theory topics. For a given mapping acting on algebra with values in the same or in another algebra, we assume the mapping posseses a prop-erty of preserving a function, relation or a set. It is then our aim to determine and prove the structure of the mapping. Note that neither additivity nor multiplicativity is being assumed. However, as a re-sult we often manage to prove that the considered mapping is (or at least very close to) being additive and multiplicative. Important examples of such maps are Jordan isomorphisms. Many preserver problems can also be seen as characterisations of Jordan isomorphisms by preserving properties. As it is known, the k-th Ky-Fan norm of a complex matrix is the sum of its k greatest singular values and is therefore an example of unitarily invariant norm. We considered the mappings on the algebra of all n-by-n complex matrices (n ≥ 2), which pre-serve the k-th Ky-Fan norm (2≤k≤n) of the special, in mathematics very important product, called the Jordan product: AoB=AB+BA. Under an additional assumption of either surjectivity or unitality we proved that the mapping is a Jordan star-isomor-phism, multiplied by a function with values in the unit circle of the complex plain, with possible (described) different behaviour on some subset of scalar multiples of unitary matrices.

FERMIJEVO POSPEŠEVANJE V ENODIMENZIONALNEM POTENCIALURaziskave na področju vzbujanja kvantnomehan-skih oscilatorjev in iskanja frekvenčnih območij vzbujanja so pokazale možnost naraščanja energije preko vseh meja (t.i. Fermijevo pospeševanje) za dvo- in večdimenzionalne klasične hamiltonske sisteme. Za enodimenzionalne potencialne škatle je to nemogoče, če je nihanje potenciala gladko, ker velja teorem Kolmogorov–Arnold–Moser (KAM). Če periodično nihanje potenciala ni gladko, (npr. žagasto nihajoč potencial) pa KAM-teorem ne velja in možnost Fermijevega pospeševanja obstaja. V sodelovanju s Centrom za uporabno matematiko in teoretično fiziko UM (CAMTP) je bil dokazan obstoj Fermijevega pospeševanja tudi v enodimen-zionalnem potencialu, zato je bilo potrebno rešiti časovno odvisno Schrödingerjevo enačbo za zelo dolge čase. To se lahko poenostavi, če je katere od potrebnih integralov mogoče izračunati analitično, kot npr. za žagasto nihajoč potencial, saj je rešitve za časovno linearno razpenjanje in stiskanje mogo-če zreducirati na relativno preprost sistem linearnih diferencialnih enačb prvega reda, ki ga je mogoče reševati z učinkovitimi numeričnimi metodami za dosego zanesljivih rezultatov za zelo dolge čase. Za zelo ozko omejene vrednosti parametra, povezanega s hitrostjo razpenjanja in stiskanja potenciala, lahko delec pridobiva energijo preko vseh meja kvadratič-no s časom, v skladu s splošno dvonivojsko teorijo periodičnih kvantnih sistemov.

FERMI ACCELERATION IN ONE-DIMENSIONAL BOXTheoretical research of quantum-mechanical oscillators, looking for the frequency regions, when the oscillator energy becomes unstable, showed the possibility of its unlimited growth (Fermi acceler-ation: FA) for two or higher-dimensional classical Hamiltonian systems. For one-dimensionally smooth oscillation potential the Kolmogorov–Ar-nold–Moser (KAM) theorem applies and FA is impossible. If the oscillation is not smooth (like sawtooth type oscillation), the KAM theorem does not apply and the route to FA is open. Colabo-rating with the Center for Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (CAMTP) the existance of FA in one-dimensional potential box was demon-strated. To solve this problem the time-dependent Schrödinger equation must be solved exactly over very long times. This task can be made easier if some involved integrals can be performed analyti-cally, such as for sawtooth type driving law because the solution for the linear expansion or compres-sion can be reduced to a relatively simple system of first order linear differential equations, which can be tackled by efficient numerical techniques, in order to provide reliable results over very long periods. For the extremely narrow resonant gaps of the driving parameter, connected with the speed of compression and extension of the potential box, the energy of the particle increases indefinitely, quadratically with time, as predicted by quite gen-eral two-level theory derived for general periodic quantum systems.

DISKRETNI HOMOGENI KVADRATIČNI SISTEMI V RAVNINI Raziskava je prispevek k obravnavi dinamike diskretnih homogenih kvadratičnih sistemov v ravnini. Sistematična obravnava dinamike le-teh temelji na dejstvu, da obstaja bijektivna zveza med diskretnimi homogenimi kvadratičnimi sistemi v ravnini in dvodimezionalnimi neasociativnimi komutativnimi algebrami. Pri tem je pomembna Markusova klasifikacija komutativnih algeber v ravnini, ki temelji na spoznanju, da vsaka real-na algebra končne dimenzije vsebuje nilpotente reda 2 ali projektorje. Dokazali smo, da obstajajo številne povezave med diskretnimi homogenimi kvadratičnimi sistemi v ravnini in njim pripadajo-čimi algebrami, npr. kvadratični sistem ima fiksno točko natanko tedaj, ko ima sistemu pripadajoča algebra projektor, kvadratični sistem premore pre-mico, ki se v prvi iteraciji preslika v koordinatno izhodišče natanko tedaj, ko ima pripadajoča algeb-ra neničelni nilpotent reda 2, kvadratični sistem lahko rešimo z redukcijo natanko tedaj, ko sistemu pripadajoča algebra vsebuje netrivialen ideal, kva-dratični sistem razpade na dva ločena podsistema natanko tedaj, ko je sistemu pripadajoča algebra direktna vsota dveh svojih idealov, kvadratični sistem ima linearen invariantni podprostor natan-ko tedaj, ko sistemu pripadajoča algebra vsebuje podalgebro. Ko ima pripadajoča algebra neničelni nilpotent reda 2, območje privlačnosti koordinat-nega izhodišča ni omejena množica in je, razen v primeru tako imenovane popolnoma periodične dinamike, dinamika dokaj preprosta.

HOMOGENEOUS DISCRETE QUADRATIC SYSTEMS IN THE PLANE This research is a contribution to studying dynamics of homogeneous discrete quadratic systems in the plane. Systematic treatment of dynamics of discrete homogeneous quadratic systems in the plane is based on the fact that there is a bijective relationship between discrete homo-geneous quadratic systems in the plane and two- dimensional nonassociative commutative algebras. Markus classification of commutative algebras in the plane is based on the fact that every finite dimensional real algebra contains nilpotent of order 2 or projector. We proved there are numer-ous connections between discrete homogeneous quadratic systems in the plane and correspond-ing algebra: quadratic system has a fixed point if and only if the corresponding algebra contains projector, quadratic system has the line which is mapped to the origin in the first iteration if and only if the corresponding algebra admits non-zero nilpotent order 2, quadratic system can be solved by reduction if and only if the corresponding algebra contains a non-trivial ideal, the quadratic system falls apart into two separate subsystems exactly if and only if the corresponding algebra is a direct sum of two ideals, and the quadratic system has a linear invariant subspace if and only if the corresponding algebra contains sub-algebra. When the corresponding algebra contains a nilpotent of rank 2, the basin of attraction of the origin is not bounded and the dynamics are except in the case of the so-called fully periodic dynamics, quite simple.

BIVŠA JUGOSLAVIJA/SLOVENIJA: VLOGA MEDIJEV V MIROVNIŠKEM PROCESU Raziskovalni projekt je obravnaval sodobne informacijske in komunikacijske tehnološke transformacije v bivših jugoslovanskih republikah. Poudarek je na medijih, kulturi in komunikaciji v smislu varnostnih in političnih aktivnosti. Glavna hipoteza je bila, da novi mediji ustvarjajo nov med-narodni kulturni red, ki je pomemben v državah bivše Jugoslavije po koncu vojne in sprememb. Kljub temu pa je kulturna in politična obnovitev mogoča le v okolju, kjer so civilni odnosi podvrženi demokratizaciji. Najprej pa je potrebno, da mediji konstruktivno prispevajo k obnovitvi družbe. Pro-jekt je raziskoval človeške, nacionalne in regionalne razsežnosti povojnih izzivov pri vzpostavljanju miru, civilne odnose v družbah, prizadetih v vojni, procese demokratizacije in vpliv medijev nanje ter vlogo lokalnih in zunanjih akterjev v zagotavljanju varnosti po vojni.

POMEN DIGITALNIH TEHNOLOGIJ ZA RAZVOJ SLOVENSKE AV PRODUKCIJE V LUČI STRATEGIJE EVROPA 2020V raziskavi smo zbirali podatke in podrobneje analizirali vsebinsko, tehnološko in stroškovno razsežnost sodobne slovenske AV produkcije. Preveriti smo želeli domnevo, da smo bili priče razvoju novega poslovnega modela, ki bi lahko bil osnova za iskanje dodatnih ukrepov za vzpodbu-janje AV produkcije, ki bi bila tudi ekonomsko bolj učinkovita. Analizirali smo vlogo, ki jo imajo digitalne tehnologije, in ugotavljali vpliv na vstop v panogo in posamezne akterje, stroške produkcije in možnosti distribucije. Naš cilj je bil ugotoviti, kaj

FORMER YUGOSLAVIA/SLOVENIA: THE ROLE OF THE MASS MEDIA IN THE PEACE-BUILDING PROCESS This project is concerned with contemporary information and communication technologies’ transformations in the former Yugoslav countries. The specific focus is on media, culture and com-munication, in terms of both security and policy activities. The central hypothesis is that new media developments - information and communication technologies - are creating a new transnational cultural order that is of specific importance in the countries of the former Yugoslavia after the end of wars and changes. However, political, economic and cultural rebuilding can take place only within an environment where civil relations are subjected to a democratisation process. Firstly, one has to cre-ate a space where information and communication technologies are contributing constructively to the rebuilding of society. The project proposes inves-tigating the human, national and regional dimen-sions of post-conflict peace-building challenges; civil relations in war-torn societies; democratisation processes and the role of the media; and the role of local and external actors in meeting the challenge of sustainable post-conflict security sector reform.

THE IMPLICATIONS OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SLOVENE AUDIOVISUAL PRODUCTION FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF EUROPE 2020 STRATEGYDigital technologies are changing the entire media landscape. For the future development of Euro-pean national AV productions, it is insufficient that these productions follow traditional models

98

od tega velja upoštevati pri načrtovanju strategij na tem področju. Zbrani podatki so ponudili celovit pregled nad različnimi stopnjami opremljenosti in stroškovne zahtevnosti posameznih projektov ter tako olajšali praktične odločitve upravljalcev. Plat-forma – podatkovna baza v uporabniku prijazni obliki – je bila ključni vir informacij o slovenskih AV producentih, ki je služila njim samim pri iskanju najprimernejših partnerjev za produkcijo, in razstavno okno, s katerim slovenski ustvarjalci, strokovnjaki in producenti ponujajo sodelovanje partnerjem v drugih evropskih državah, pa tudi šir-še. Ta platforma je dodatno vzpodbudila nastajanje vsebin, ki so namenjene objavi na spletu, ter tako neposredno prispevala k uresničevanju Strategije Evropa 2020.

KONVERGENCA MEDIJEV IN KULTURNA TRANSFORMACIJA BRALCEVRaziskava izhaja iz izhodiščne predpostavke, da je osnovni problem tiskanih medijev v sodobno-sti učinkovita uravnoteženost med ustvarjanjem ekonomskega uspeha na eni strani in vlogo »psa ču-vaja« demokracije na drugi strani, hkrati pa morajo mediji vzpostavljati tudi pogoje za javno razpravo. Ta dilema enakovredno zadeva tudi občinstvo, ki se sooča z radikalno transformacijo svoje vloge pasiv-nega občinstva, s tem pa tudi življenjskega sloga. V tem smislu se je raziskava dotaknila tudi (potenci-alnih) bralcev (potrošnikov) kot aktivnih produ-centov vsebin (prosumers), kar je novost v primer-javi z dosedanjimi raziskavami iz tega področja. Pomembnost raziskave odkriva naslednje vprašanje: Katere vsebine bo bralec še plačal, katerih pa nikoli več, in kaj to pomeni za družbeno poslanstvo in prihodnost tiskanih medijev? Postavljeno vpraša-nje vodi do iskanja odgovora, ki bo pojasnil šibko

of film and AV production. This was the starting hypothesis of our research. We assumed that with digital technologies new uses are being developed, followed by new business models in the field of film and AV content, in which even the produc-tions of small nations, such as Slovenia, can be economically sustainable and financially successful. Our research results showed that we can confirm the hypothesis. Analysing the contents, we have shown that Slovene AV production might increase the competitiveness of the Slovene economy, because it offers quality creative content, and it furthers innovative mentality and creative culture. For sustainable and financially successful Slovene AV production, however, a new approach to dis-tribution needs to be developed that goes beyond the existing channels in cinemas and on broadcast television networks. New modes of distribution enable producers to create added value on the basis of the works they create. Insistence on the old busi-ness models is the major obstacle for the economic growth and prosperity of Slovene AV production.

MEDIA CONVERGENCE AND CULTURAL TRANSFORMATION OF READERS The research project stems from what is consid-ered to be one of the fundamental problems of contemporary printed media, which is establish-ing an efficient balance between the creating of economic success on the one hand and the role of the “watchdog” of democracy on the other. The primary focus of the project was therefore placed on the relationship between consumption of the symbolic content of printed and digital media with particular emphasis placed on content. The project was also focused on (potential) readers (consumers) as active producers of content (prosumers), which

stanje tiskanih medijev, tako na področju ekonom-ske uspešnosti kot tudi pri zagotavljanju odprte in dostopne javne sfere. S tem, ko je projekt skušal podati odgovore na zgoraj postavljena vprašanja, je prispeval k razrešitvi dileme, koliko (in če) je smiselno socializirati produkcijo novic ter koliko demokratizirati upravljanje časnikov (na način vključevanja javnosti v njihove organe upravlja-nja in vodenja), da bo preživetje časnikov tudi dejansko mogoče.

POVEČANJE VIZUALNE ZMOGLJIVOSTI GLUHIH IN NAGLUŠNIH OSEB Z UPORABO VIDEO POSNETKA TOLMAČA ZNAKOVNEGA JEZIKA S PODNAPISINamen projekta je raziskati, ali lahko razumljivost implementacije podnapisov v posamične video posnetke tolmača znakovnega jezika pozitivno vpliva na razumevanje gledalcev v primerjavi z video posnetki znakovnega jezika brez podna-pisov. Potreba za projekt izhaja iz pomanjkanja dostopnosti spletnega gradiva, kar je opazno kljub pozitivnemu odnosu smernic za spletno dosto-pnost za gluhe in naglušne uporabnike znakovnega jezika. Na pobudo Univerze v Mariboru (SLO) in v sodelovanju z ETH Zürich (CH) je 51 slovenskih udeležencev (gluhi in naglušni uporabniki znakov-nega jezika) eksperimentalno ocenilo razumljivost video posnetkov samo s tolmačem znakovnega je-zika na eni strani in z dodanimi podnapisi na drugi strani. Rezultati so pokazali pomembno izboljšanje razumljivosti, ko so bili dodani podnapisi. Ra-zumevanje video posnetkov tolmača znakovnega jezika je bilo za 24% boljše med gluhimi in 42% boljše med naglušnimi. Poleg tega smo opazili očitne spremembe v razumevanju pri gledanju

represents an upgrade compared to research studies made in this field to date. The relevance of the research is summarised in the following question: Which content are the readers still willing to pay for and which content will they never be willing to pay for again, and what does this mean for the social mission and future of printed media? This question will lead us in the quest for an answer that will provide an explanation for the weak condition of printed media (in relation to their economic success as well as social responsibility), and for the disintegration of an open and accessible public sphere. The project will contribute to the solving of the dilemma on the extent and reasonableness of the socialisation of news production and the extent of democratisation of newspaper management in order to enable the actual survival of newspapers.

THE INCREASE OF VISUAL PERFORMANCE FOR DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING USING SIGN LANGUAGE VIDEO WITH CAPTIONINGThe project was intended to conduct research on whether the intelligibility of the implementation of captions in individual sign language interpreter videos can positively affect viewers’ comprehen-sions when compared with sign language inter-preter videos without captions. The need for the project derived from a lack of accessibility of web material which is noticeable despite the positive attitude of web accessibility guidelines for deaf and hard of hearing sign language users. Initiated by the University of Maribor (SLO) and in collab-oration with ETH Zürich (CH) intelligibility of videos with sign language interpretation alone and videos with sign language interpretation with captions view assessed experimentally using 51

100

video posnetkov tolmača znakovnega jezika za teme pohodništvo in kultura. Razumevanje je bilo bolj-še, ko so bili dodani podnapisi. Glede na rezultate je priporočljivo, da se video posnetke dopolnjuje s podnapisi, da bi se izboljšalo razumevanje med uporabniki znakovnega jezika.

ANALIZA IN IZHODIŠČA ZA PRENOVO SPLETNEGA MESTA DRŽAVNEGA ZBORA Namen raziskave Analiza in izhodišča za prenovo spletnega mesta Državnega zbora je bil z vidika uveljavljanja e-demokracije preučiti obstoječe sple-tno mesto Državnega zbora, presoditi o smiselnosti nadgradnje z novimi spletnih tehnologijami ter identificirati možnosti, kako spletno mesto narediti uporabniku prijaznejše. Raziskava temelji na kvali-tativnem metodološkem pristopu in je bila zasnova-na v dveh časovno zaporednih fazah, v vsaki fazi pa smo obravnavali naslednje tri vsebinske sklope: sple-tno mesto nove generacije, uporabnost spletnega mesta, in spletno mesto: izhodišče e-demokracije. Zanimalo nas je torej, kako ažurno, razumljivo in pregledno so predstavljene vsebine spletnega mesta glede na različne ciljne skupine, ki jim je spletno mesto namenjeno in ali je smiselno na spletnem mestu uvesti nove spletne storitve, spletne storitve nove generacije, s katerimi bi bila zagotovljena večja interaktivnost spletnega mesta. Vseskozi pa smo omenjena vprašanja obravnavali v kontekstu učinkovitejšega udejanjanja načel e-demokracije in aktivnega državljanstva. V raziskavi so sodelovali tudi študentje treh slovenskih fakultet.

Slovene participants (deaf and hard of hearing sign language users). Intelligibility and subjective rat-ings were recorded by means of questionnaires after the presentation of information on a monitor (four videos of an average of 30 seconds about everyday events). Results showed a significant improvement in intelligibility when captioning was added. The comprehension of a sign language interpreter video with captions was 24% better amongst the deaf and 42% better amongst the hard of hearing.

ANALYSIS OF WEBSITE OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY The purpose of the research was to analyse the existing web site of the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia and to assess possible, reasonable and necessary upgrading with new web technologies, to make the page user-friendly and more e-democratic. The starting point is that web pages of such important political bodies reflect country's attitude towards civic engagement and the public's participation in decision making. The study was based on a qualitative methodological approach and it was executed in two phases. Each dealt with three thematic sets: web page of the new generation, usability of the web page and the web page as a source of e-democracy. The first phase was concentrated on theoretical analysis, analysis of similar studies in other countries and finally on the analysis of good examples of parliamentary web pages worldwide. Students of three major Slove-nian universities took part in the second phase of the research. The research was based on their 'daily expertise' of internet knowledge and usage and their already gained academic knowledge to explore the three aspects mentioned above (e-democracy, usability and new generation web technologies) through the existing web page of the Slovenian parliament.

IZRAČUN FOTOVOLTAIČNEGA POTENCIALA Z UPORABO PODATKOV LiDAR Razvili smo novo metodo za časovnoprostor-ski izračun fotovoltaičnega potenciala streh iz klasificiranih podatkov LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging). Lokalne topografske značilnosti je možno natančno pridobiti iz danih podatkov, nastalih z laserskim prebiranjem s tehnologijo LiDAR, ki zajame površje s pomočjo laserskih pulzov. Predlagana metoda omogoča zelo natan-čen izračun fotovoltaičnega potenciala z upošteva-njem sledečih faktorjev: − Daljše časovne meritve direktnega in difuznega

obsevanja s piranometrom, kar omogoča repre-zentacijo klimatskih razmer na dani lokaciji.

− Samo-senčenje in senčenje iz okolijskih obstruk-cij (npr. stavbe in teren).

− Časovno raznoliko senčenje zaradi vegetacije na nivoju enega leta s pomočjo satelitskih podatkov indeksa ploščine listov.

− Časovna integracija izračunanega obsevanja, kjer se električna proizvodnja izračuna z upošteva-njem nelinearnih karakteristik učinkovitosti za vsako vhodno instantno obsevanje.

ESTIMATION OF PHOTOVOLTAIC POTENTIAL USING LiDAR DATAWe developed a novel method for estimating spatiotemporal photovoltaic potential for multiple buildings` rooftops by using classified LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) data. The local topographical properties can be accurately ob-tained from the given data obtained with LiDAR, an active remote sensing technology that captures surface details by using laser pulses. The proposed method achieves highly accurate photovoltaic potential estimation by considering the following factors: − Long-term direct and diffuse irradiance mea-

surements by pyranometer, which captures the long-term site-specific climate conditions.

− Self-shadowing and shadowing from surroun-ding obstacles (e.g. buildings and terrain).

− Variable shadowing from vegetation throughout the year by using satellite-based Leaf Area Index data.

− Time-based integration of calculated irradian-ce, where the final production is estimated by considering nonlinear efficiency characteristics for each instantaneous irradiance.

− Nonlinear efficiency characteristics are conside-red for both the photovoltaic module and solar

102

− Nelinearne karakteristike učinkovitosti so modelirane za fotovoltaični modul in mikro razsmernik. Pri tem so se dani modeli razvili z nelinearno regresijo nad meritvami.

Predlagana rešitev se je uporabila v projektu, finan-ciranem s strani Evropskega Sklada za Regionalni Razvoj za vzpostavitev geografskega informacijske-ga sistema, ki omogoča kartiranje fotovoltaičnega potenciala za občino Beltinci, ki jo sestavlja več kot 5000 stavb.

OPTIMIZACIJA V RAZPOREJANJU PROIZVODNJE ENERGIJE Razvili smo nov pristop za optimizacijo razporeja-nja proizvodnje električne energije med hidroelek-trarnami in termoelektrarnami. Pristop omogoča hitrejši izračun, kot je bilo to možno do sedaj. To je mogoče, saj pristop predstavi predizračunan na-domestni model, ki se med optimizacijo celotnega optimiziranega modela hidro in termo enot ne

micro inverter, which were modelled by nonli-near regression over local measurements.

The given solution was used in ERDF (European Regional Development Fund) supported project for establishing a Geographic Information System (GIS), in order to map the photovoltaic potential for the entire Municipality of Beltinci, Slovenia consisting of over 5000 building units.

ENERGY SCHEDULING OPTIMIZATION A new approach for electrical energy production optimisation by scheduling production among hydro and thermal power plants. The approach enables a faster computation than available before due to the pre-computed off-line surrogate model, which stores practical precision parameter results for on-line optimisation. The results of the sched-uling on the model tested show improvements in all scenarios and all criteria, compared to the ex-

spreminja in hrani dobljene vrednosti parametrov nadomestnega modela v praktično uporabni na-tančnosti. Rezultati tega problema razporejanja na uveljavljenih testih iz literature kažejo večjo izbolj-šavo na vseh scenarijih in vseh kriterijih v primer-javi z do sedaj znanimi pristopi. Dva algoritma sta izdelana v tem pristopu: prvi algoritem (NPdynεj-DE) naslavlja posebno obravnavo omejitev in optimizira razporejanje za termoelektrarne, drugi algoritem (PSADEs) uporabi rezultate prvega al-goritma, da optimizira skupno proizvodnjo s hidro elektrarnami, pri tem pa oba uporabita praktično natančnost parametrov za urnik obremenitev ter-moelektrarn. Oba algoritma bazirata na diferenci-alni evoluciji, ki ima najbolj vidne aplikacije izmed apliciranih inženirskih izzivov ravno v električnih in elektroenergetskih sistemih.

NEINVAZIVNO RAZPOZNAVANJE PROŽILNIH TRENUTKOV MOTORIČNIH ENOT PRI PATOLOŠKI TRESAVICIPredstavljena metoda za ločitev močno sinhro-niziranih impulznih izvorov predstavlja svetovno novost, saj kot prva na svetu omogoča popolnoma avtomatizirano in neinvazivno opazovanje aktiv-nosti motoričnih enot pri nevrodegenerativnih obolenjih, kot sta esencialni tremor in Parkinsono-va bolezen. Študija podaja matematično izpeljavo metode in teoretično dokaže izvedljivost razcepa sestavljenih signalov v primeru močno korelira-nih impulznih izvorov. Predlaga tudi postopek za razcep površinskih elektromiogramov (EMG) in ga ovrednoti s sintetičnimi in eksperimentalnimi signali EMG, izmerjenimi pri štirinajstih bolnikih s patološkim tremorjem. V primeru sintetičnih signalov je metoda prepoznala 8 motoričnih enot na mišično skrčitev s senzitivnostjo razpozna-

isting approaches. Two algorithms are designed for this: the first algorithm (NPdynεjDE) addressess the special constraint handling for thermal hourly production, then the second algorithm (PSADEs) uses its results to optimise combined production with hydro units using practical precision param-eters for the thermal units hourly schedules. Both algorithms are based on differential evolution, which has more prominent applications in the elec-trical and power systems when applied to engineer-ing optimisation problems. This contributes to the algorithm development with the aim of improv-ing production efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint of its emission while satisfying 24-hour system demand and all operational requirements.

NONINVASIVE CHARACTERIZATION OF MOTOR UNIT BEHAVIOUR IN PATHOLOGICAL TREMORThe presented source separation method represents the breakthrough novelty in biomedical research as it allows, for the first time, fully automatic and completely noninvasive insight into the discharge properties of human skeletal muscles in neurode-generative diseases, such as essential and Parkin-sonian tremor. First, a mathematical derivation is provided to theoretically prove the possibility of decomposing high-density surface electromiograms into motor unit spike trains with high correlation, which are typical of tremor contractions. Further-more, the proposed decomposition method was tested on simulated signals and on experimental signals from 14 tremor-affected patients. In the case of simulated tremor, the method identified 8 motor units per contraction with sensitivity in spike tim-ing identification ≥ 95 % and false alarm and miss rates ≤ 5%. In experimental signals, the number of

nih proženj ≥ 95%, v primeru eksperimentalnih signalov pa do 21 motoričnih enot na mišično skrčitev. Metoda uvaja nov način fizioloških pre-iskav patološkega tremorja in nudi informacijsko podporo aktivnemu dušenju patološkega tremorja, ki prizadene okoli 5 % populacije zahodnega sveta.

SEKVENCER: DOMENSKO SPECIFIČNI MODELIRNI JEZIK ZA MERILNE SISTEME Meritev je proces zajemanja fizikalnih količin in njihovo pretvorbo v digitalno obliko, ki jih nato računalniško obdelamo. Klasični instrumenti za zajem podatkov (npr. osciloskop, frekvenčni analizator) ponujajo omejene funkcionalnosti in ne ponujajo možnosti za nadgradnjo strojne/programske opreme. Dodatna težava je v tem, da končni uporabniki za uporabo tradicionalnih merilnih instrumentov nimajo potrebnega znanja. Večina programov, namenjenih za zajem, shranje-vanja in analize pridobljenih podatkov s tradicio-nalnimi orodji ne omogoča, da končni uporabniki sestavijo svoje merilne procedure. Razvili smo domensko specifični modelirni jezik, imenovan

identified motor units varied substantially (range 0-21) across patients and contraction types. The method provides a new means for physiological investigations of pathological tremor as well as for the development of closed-loop technologies for suppression of pathological tremor. The latter affects about 5% of population in western civilization.

SEQUENCER: A DOMAIN-SPECIFIC MODELLING LANGUAGE FOR DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEMSData acquisition is the process of capturing and measuring physical data and converting the results into a digital form that is further manipulated by a system. Classic instruments for data acquisi-tion systems, such as the oscilloscopes, frequency analysers and charts recorders offer limited func-tionality, and non-upgradeable hardware/software. The problem with such measuring products is that end-users are often unqualified in using traditional measuring instruments. Most of the programs are designed to capture, store and analyse the acquired data do not allow end-users to build a customised sequence for the measuring process.

Sekvencer, s katerim sestavimo merilne procedure za pridobivanje podatkov iz merilnih sistemov. Sekvencer je integriran v DEWEsoft, programski paket za pridobivanje merilnih podatkov, testiranje in merjenje. Sekvencer že uspešno uporabljajo v avtomobilski industriji, in sicer za testiranje zavor, pospeška vozila, porabe pnevmatik in goriva. Testi so zapisani v vizualnem načinu, ki je primeren za uporabo domenskih inženirjev. Uporabniki lahko na zelo enostaven način in brez programerskih znanj modelirajo zaporedja merilnih akcij. Naši ek-sperimentalni rezultati so pokazali, da lahko končni uporabniki razvijejo aplikacije hitreje, saj se dolžina programa merilnih procedur v nekaterih primerih zmanjša za faktor 20. Prav tako je uporaba do-mensko specifičnega modelirnega jezika zmanjšala število napak v merilnih procedurah.

We have developed a domain-specific modelling language called the Sequencer for the purpose of modelling acquired data from measuring systems. The Sequencer is integrated into the larger product DEWESoft, which is a sophisticated data acquisi-tion software suite for testing and measuring. The Sequencer has already been successfully applied for the automotive industry, where brake, acceleration, tyre, and fuel consumption tests are specified with different calibrations in a visual manner that is suitable for use by domain engineers. The end-user can very easily, and without technical computer skills, model an arbitrary measurement sequence. Our preliminary observations have shown that end-users can develop applications faster, whilst the program length has been reduced in some cases by a factor of 20. The number of software errors has also been substantially decreased.

jDE: SAMOPRILAGODLJIVI ALGORITEM DIFERENCIALNE EVOLUCIJERazvili smo nov algoritem diferencialne evoluci-je (DE) z glavnim poudarkom na učinkovitem mehanizmu samo-adaptacije krmilnih parametrov. Eksperimentalni rezultati so pokazali, da je predsta-vljen samoadaptivni algoritem učinkovitejši ali vsaj primerljiv s klasičnim algoritmom diferencialne evolucije in z evolucijskimi algoritmi iz literature pri reševanju optimizacijskih problemov. Predsta-vljena metoda je pomembno vplivala na mnoge optimizacijske algoritme v znanosti in tudi v prak-tičnih aplikacijah, kar se odraža tudi z odmevnostjo članka (v sistemu Scopus 1074 citatov, Web of Science 773 citatov, Google scholar 1402 citata), s čimer je en največkrat citirani prispevek na Uni-verzi v Mariboru. Po navedbi vira Web of Science (maj/junij 2015) je omenjeni visoko citirani članek prejel dovolj citatov, da se na področju računalni-ških znanosti uvršča med 1 % najbolje citiranih prispevkov glede na področje in leto izdaje.

jDE: SELF-ADAPTIVE DIFFERENTIAL EVOLUTION ALGORITHMWe developed a new differential evolution (DE) algorithm based on an efficient technique for self-adapting control parameter settings. The ex-perimental results showed that our algorithm with self-adaptive control parameter settings is better than, or at least comparable to, the standard DE algorithm and evolutionary algorithms from litera-ture when considering the quality of the solutions obtained. The proposed method may have a great influence on a wide range of computing applica-tions in science and in solving practical problems, as can be seen through many citations (1074 cita-tions in Scopus, 773 citations in Web of Science, 1402 citations in Google Scholar), and, moreover, this paper is one of the most cited papers at the University of Maribor. Web of Science: »As of May/June 2015, this highly cited paper received enough citations to place it in the top 1% of the academic field of Computer Science based on a highly cited threshold for the field and publication year.«

Metodologija PROCESSUS®Metodologija PROCESSUS® je zaključen paket ocenitvenih tehnik, izobraževalno-svetovalnih aktivnosti in vrednotenja sistemov kakovosti. Z uporabo metodologije PROCESSUS organizacija pridobi vpogled v trenutno stanje zrelosti pro-cesa razvoja informacijskih sistemov, opredelitev prioritetnih aktivnosti za dvig kakovosti in pomoč pri izvajanju teh aktivnosti. S tem so se organizacije za razvoj informacijskih sistemov (npr. SRC d.o.o., Lek d.d., RRC Računalniške storitve Ljubljana, Zavarovalnica Maribor d.d., MIPS d.o.o., Lancom d.o.o., LIST d.o.o. a, InIn d.o.o., Informatika d.d.) lahko pripravile za certificiranje po standardu ISO 9001. Tiste organizacije, ki kupujejo programsko opremo, pa so lahko metodologijo PROCESSUS® uporabile za vrednotenje kakovosti dobaviteljev.V sklopu projekta so bili doseženi naslednji razi-skovalni cilji: − razvoj modela kakovosti na podlagi modelov

ISO in SEI CMM, − razvoj metodologije za ocenitev zrelosti procesa

razvoja programske opreme, − razvoj izobraževalnega postopka in ustreznih

gradiv, − arhitekturna zasnova in razvoj podpornega

orodja za ocenitve in analizo podatkov.Metodologija PROCESSUS® je bila po zaključku uspešno aplicirana v mnogih slovenskih podjetjih, npr. v Telekomu Slovenije ter bila nadgrajena še z metodo PRO+, namenjeno vrednotenju kakovostih informacijskih in programskih rešitev. Nadaljevali smo z delom na področju izboljšav softverskih procesov in se posvetili raziskavam na področju definicije in uporabe novih metrik kakovosti in ocenjevanja obsega programskih projektov. Meto-dologija PROCESSUS je pomembno prispevala k dokončni mednarodni uveljavitvi Inštituta za informatiko ter k uspešnemu povezovanju v med-narodnem prostoru.PROCESSUS je priznana znamka, last Inštituta za informatiko na UM FERI (RS MZT Urad RS za intelektualno lastnino, odločba št. 670-494/96-DC-6 z dne 15. 5. 1997).

PROCESSUS® MethodologyThe PROCESSUS® Methodology was developed in the 90s in the scope of the project “PROCESSUS - Assessment and improvement of quality of infor-mation system development”, which was supported by the Ministry of Science and Technology and 14 participating Slovenian companies.The research objectives of the PROCESSUS pro-ject were: − Development of a quality model based on ISO

and SEI CMM models. − Definition of assessment methodology for

appraisal of software process maturity. − Establishment of training procedure and corre-

sponding handbooks. − Development of a tool for computer supported

software process assessment and evaluation of results.

The results of the PROCESSUS appraisal provide insight to the organisational, methodological and technological aspects of process maturity level as well as guidelines for improvement of software process maturity and providing compliance with existing standards. The PROCESSUS® methodolo-gy has been successfully applied in many Slovenian companies. It was accompanied by the PRO+ method, aimed at evaluating the quality of software products. Subsequent scientific and research work in the SPI field has been focused on the definition and use of new quality metrics and project size esti-mations methods. The PROCESSUS methodology has significantly contributed to the international reputation and successful international cooperation of the Institute of Informatics.

INTELLIGENT FAULT TOLERANT CONTROL IN INTEGRATED SYSTEMSProjekt IFATIS je delno financirala Evropska skupnost v okviru 5. okvirnega programa IST. Doprinesel je k skupnemu cilju izpolniti zahteve po visoki zmogljivosti, razpoložljivosti in varnosti kompleksnih sistemov. Glavni cilj IFATIS-a je bil vzpostaviti tehnološki okvir za inteligentno in na napake odporno vodenje (FTC), ki bi inženirjem in znanstvenikom s področja avtomatike zago-tovil napredne metode za reševanje problemov pri snovanju kompleksnih sistemov, odpornih na napake. To smo dosegli z razvojem nove sistemske arhitekture, tehnološke (strojne) platforme in pro-gramskega orodja za razvoj robustnih večnivojskih sistemov z delovanjem v realnem času. Razvit je bil modularen, hierarhično strukturiran in na napake odporen model, osnovan na hierarhični dekompo-ziciji kompleksnih sistemov. Napredne metode za diagnostiko in izolacijo napak ter za povečanje od-pornosti na napake so integrira-ne v funkcijske enote in module na različnih nivojih. Končni cilj za implementacijo prototi-pov pa je bila prilagoditev teh rezultatov za različne specifične tehnične probleme in procese. Glavni prispevek UM FERI je bila fizična implementacije arhitekture IFATIS. Platforma IFATIS FT je porazdeljeni mul-tiprocesorski sistem, osnovan na digitalnih signalnih proce-sorjih TI TMS320C6711 in na podvojeni, na napake odporni in časovno predvidljivi komuni-kacijski infrastrukturi TTCAN. Razviti so bili komunikacijski in

INTELLIGENT FAULT TOLERANT CONTROL IN INTEGRATED SYSTEMSProject IFATIS was partly funded by the EC under the IST programme of the Fifth Frame-work Programme. It contributed to the overall goal of increasing the system's reliability and dependability to meet the high performance, availability and safety requirements on complex control systems. The major goal of IFATIS was to establish a framework of intelligent fault toler-ant control (FTC) technology, which provided control engineers and scientists with advanced methods for approaching FTC problems in com-plex control systems in a systematic way. It was achieved by the development of a novel system architecture, a hardware platform and a software tool for an integrated design of the real time, multilevel FTC systems. A modular and hierar-chically structured fault tolerant system based on a functional decomposition of complex systems

Kot uporab-niški vmesnik je bil izdelan IFATIS kontrolni cen-ter. Programska oprema IFATIS je bila namenjena integriranemu snovanju večnivojskih, na napake odpornih sistemov za delovanje v realnem času.

was designed. Advanced FDI and FTC methods are integrated in the functional units and modules at different levels. The final goal for practical pro-totype implementation was the customisation of the achieved results to different technical systems and processes. The main contribution of UM FERI was physical implementation of the IFATIS architecture. The IFATIS FT platform, a distrib-uted multiprocessor framework, was based on TI TMS320C6711 DSPs and a dual fault tolerant and temporally predictable TTCAN communica-tion infrastructure. Communication and universal peripheral modules have been developed provid-ing various FT features. Communication amongst the modules was done transparently to the user, employing the replicated distributed shared mem-ory principle. As the user interface, the IFATIS Control Center was developed. The purpose of the IFATIS software was to integrated the designs of real time, multilevel Fault Tolerant systems. It contained implementation of powerful and efficient fault tolerant methods and a user friendly interface to observe and parametrise the system.

VARNE IN ZAUPANJA VREDNE IT-STORITVE Sodobno poslovanje in vsakodnevne aktivnosti so močno prepletene z IT-rešitvami in storitvami, ki so postale precej bolj raznolike, mobilne in vseprisotne. Kljub temu da je to omogočilo nove načine in pod-ročja uporabe, je povzročilo tudi nove grožnje na po-dročju informacijske varnosti. Vključeni smo bili v raziskovalno-razvojno delo na področju inovativnih metod, protokolov in rešitev za naslavljanje ključnih sodobnih izzivov informacijske varnosti. Razvili smo nove metode za varno komunikacijo s pomočjo inovativnih protokolov za overjen dogovor o ključu,

TOWARDS SECURE AND TRUSTWORTHY IT-BASED SERVICESModern business and our everyday lives heavily depend on IT solutions and services. These have become much more diverse as well as mobile and ubiquitous. Although this has paved new paths and possible areas of application, it has also brought with it new challenges in the field of information security.We have been involved in the research and devel-opment of several innovative methods, protocols and solutions to tackle the key challenges of secure IT. We have developed new methods for secure

ki predstavlja osnovno za varno elektronsko poslo-vanje. Naše raziskovalno delo je prav tako rezultiralo v inovativnih varnostnih protokolih za senzorska omrežja, skladnih s konceptom interneta stvari. Ker se overjenja v sodobnem vsepovezanem svetu vršijo v večini na podlagi gesel, naše raziskovalno delo obravnava tudi te vidike in hkrati vključuje napre-dne rešitve za ustvarjanje močnih in varnih gesel, ki si jih je preprosto zapomniti. Vendar pa omenjeni varnostni vidiki predstavljajo tudi ovire pri vzposta-vitvi zaupanja med uporabniki. V naših raziskavah smo tako naslavljali tudi področje varne elektronske pošte. Razvit in patentiran je bil napredni protokol za elektronsko pošto, ki omogoča varnost čezmejne-ga in interoperabilnega vročanja elektronske pošte s pomočjo obstoječe infrastrukture in tako kate-remukoli uporabniku elektronske pošte omogoča pošiljanje in sprejemanje priporočenih elektronskih sporočil brez potrebe po ustvarjanju novega elek-tronskega predala ali spremembe naslova elektronske pošte. Glede na bogate izkušnje s področja informa-cijske varnosti smo bili aktivno vključeni v analizo in računalniško forenzično preiskavo najbolj odmevnih primerov računalniškega kriminala v Sloveniji (tj. primer Mariposa, primer zlorab bankomatov, primer zlorab elektronskega bančništva).

communication through innovative authenticated key agreement protocols, which form the basis for secure electronic communications. In addition to this, the Institute has also developed several advanced protocols for securing communications in IoT sensor networks. As most authentication in the modern interconnected world is based on passwords, we have also addressed the short-comings of their use and developed an advanced method for generating easy-to-remember secure passwords. However, as a consequence of all these modern security issues, there are serious obstacles for establishing trust among users. In our research we have also addressed the issue of secure/certified electronic mail. We have developed and patented an advanced email protocol for interoperable, cross-border certified electronic mail based on ex-isting e-mail infrastructure. The new system allows any e-mail user to send or receive certified e-mail without first applying for a secure mailbox and changing their e-mail address. Given our exper-tise in the field of secure IT, we were also actively involved in the analysis of the most well-known cases of computer fraud in Slovenia (i.e. the Mari-posa botnet case, the ATM skimmers case, and the e-banking fraud case).

EVOLUCIJSKA GRADNJA ODLOČITVENIH DREVES V petnajstih letih raziskovalnega dela smo definira-li, razvili in podrobno ovrednotili postopek gradnje odločitvenih dreves z evolucijskimi algoritmi, ki smo ga aplicirali na različne realne probleme s področja medicine, programskega inženirstva in telekomunikacij. Odločitvena drevesa so eden izmed najbolj razširjenih in pogosto uporabljanih postopkov strojnega učenja, ki omogočajo eno-stavno in transparentno klasifikacijo z možnostjo validacije zgrajenih modelov znanja. Tradicionalni, požrešni postopek indukcije dreves po načelu od zgoraj navzdol smo v razvitem izvirnem pristopu nadomestili z evolucijskimi algoritmi, s čimer smo na mnogih realnih primerih izboljšali učinkovitost napovedovanja, hkrati pa zmanjšali kompleksnost zgrajenih modelov znanja in dosegli bistveno boljšo uravnoteženost klasifikacije. Z vpeljavo ekspertne-ga znanja v iterativen proces gradnje rešitev smo

EVOLUTIONARY DESIGN OF DECISION TREESThroughout fifteen years of research we have designed, developed and extensively evaluated the process of building decision trees with evolutionary algorithms, which have been applied to a variety of real-world problems in the fields of medicine, software engineering and telecommunications. Decision trees are one of the most widespread and commonly used machine learning methods, which enable straightforward and transparent classification, with the possibility of validation of constructed knowledge models. We replaced the traditional greedy top-down induction approach with an original evolutionary algorithm. In this manner, we succeeded in improving the predictive performance, while reducing the complexities of constructed models and achieving significantly higher classification balance. With the introduction of expert knowledge into an iterative process of

Pomembnejši izvirni znanstveni prispevki zajemajo še samoprilagodljiv proces gradnje, večnivojsko hierarhično razgradnjo učne množice, vektorsko klasifikacijo, avtonomen evo-lucijski proces, pametni operator križanja, selekcijo na osnovi podobnosti in večpopulacijsko gradnjo dreves.

UPORABNIŠKO USMERJENE E-STORITVE Kljub prednostim, ki jih zagotavljajo e-storitve, obstajajo številne težave pri njihovi sprejetosti in uporabi. Raziskovalni projekt Analiza in smer-nice razvoja uporabniško usmerjenih e-storitev v Sloveniji smo zasnovali na dejstvu, da obstaja velik razkorak med visokim deležem realiziranih e-stori-tev in majhnim deležem uporabnikov, ki e-storitve redno uporabljajo. Poglavitni rezultati projekta so identificirani vzroki (dejavniki), ki vplivajo na različne vrste (domene) e-storitev ter smernice za razvoj sprejetih in posledično uspešnih e-storitev, pri čemer je bil poudarek na domenah e-uprava in e-učenje. S pomočjo identificiranih vzrokov in vzročnih povezav ter oblikovanih smernic lahko ponudniki e-storitev proaktivno razvijajo e-storitve z boljšimi uporabniškimi karakteristikami. Ko go-vorimo o e-storitvah, se ne moremo izogniti e-uče-nju, ki je podprto z različnimi tehnološkimi rešitva-mi. V okviru projekta ELLEIEC je bila raziskava usmerjena v izgradnjo virtualnega centra za učenje VCE (Virtual Center for Education), katerega vizi-ja je, da se posameznik lahko odloči za pridobiva-nje novega znanja, kompetenc in veščin v katerem-koli obdobju življenja. Virtualni center povezuje učeče z učitelji iz akademskih vrst, poslovnih okolij

building the solution we designed an innovative algorithm that covers the larger search spaces of potential solutions than traditional methods, which has led to the discovery of a potentially new knowledge within the domain of cardiovascular problems within the younger population. Further original scientific contributions include self-adap-tive construction process, multi-level hierarchical decomposition of a learning set, vector decision trees, autonomous evolutionary process, smart crossover operator, similarity based selection and multi-population evolutionary algorithm for in-ducing decision trees.

USER CENTRIC E-SERVICESE-Services offer several advantages compared to their »traditional« counterparts, however they have also serious obstacles regarding the view of their ac-ceptance and usage. We proposed the project Anal-ysis and development guidelines of user centric e-services in Slovenia because we observed the gap between existing e-services and the amount of their usage. The main research outcomes are identified and demonstrated factors and empirical indictors, which have a significant impact on the acceptance of e-services from different e-services’ domains together with the guidelines for successful e-service implementations. The focus of the research was on the e-learning and e-government domain. Based on identified factors and their causal relationships, e-service developers are capable of proactively de-veloping acceptable e-services with better end-user characteristics. In connection with E-services, we have to point out also e-learning supported by dif-ferent technological solutions. Within the frame-work of the project ELLEIEC developed virtual centre for education VCE (Virtual Centre for En-terprise). The vision of the VCE is that at any stage of their life learner can develop their competences,

in svetovalnih organizacij v Evropi. Izobraževanje je izvedeno v obliki majhnih modulov, učečim pri učenju pa so v pomoč mentorji. Koncept zagotavlja dostopnost učnih vsebin v različnih jezikih in s tem omogoča izboljšanje tudi jezikovnih kompetenc. V podporo učečim in učiteljem iz različnih držav in kultur je bil razvit modul o medkulturni komuni-kaciji. Vlogo in pomen medkulturne komunikacije smo uspešno uvedli tudi v večino drugih projektov, v katerih sodelujemo v zadnjem obdobju.

knowledge and skills. The VCE connects learners to a network with educators within academic in-stitutions, business formation and advisory bodies across Europe. A unique feature of the virtual centre is that learners can choose small modules in a language other than their native language, so also additional linguistic skills are developed. To sup-port learners and mentors from different countries and cultures, a special module for Cross Cultural Communication was developed. The importance of cross cultural communication we also successfully introduced to other related projects.

STUDENTS ACHIEVEMENTS

BEDJANIČEVE NAGRADEProf. Vratislav Bedjanič je bil hkrati profesor na Fakulteti za elektrotehniko Univerze v Ljubljani in dolgoletni direktor podjetja TELA, ki je znal pos-krbeti za sproten prenos rezultatov raziskovalnega dela na univerzi v gospodarstvo. Med drugim je so-deloval tudi pri ustanovitvi podjetja Elektrokovina v Mariboru. Deset let po njegovi tragični smrti v avtomobilski nesreči leta 1959 je zaslužni profesor dr. Anton Ogorelec podjetju Iskra predlagal, da bi v spomin na prof. Bedjaniča študentom podelje-vali nagrade za najboljša diplomska, magistrska in doktorska dela s področja elektrotehnike v takratni Jugoslaviji. Po osamosvojitvi Slovenije so nagrajeva-nje omejili samo na študente s področja elektroteh-nike Univerze v Ljubljani ter Univerze v Mariboru. Pokroviteljstvo nad podeljevanjem nagrad je leta 2009 prevzel slovenski komite CIGRÉ-CIRED. Predsednik odbora za podeljevanje nagrad je bil do leta 2013 zaslužni profesor dr. Anton Ogorelec.

BEDJANIČ AWARDSProf. Vratislav Bedjanič was professor at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Ljubljana, and director of the TELA company, as well. He was able to successfuly transfer knowledge from uni-versity to companies. Amongst others, he was also involved in the establishment of the Elektrokovina Maribor company. Professor Emeritus dr. Anton Ogorelec ten years after his tragic death in an auto-mobile accident in 1959 proposed the Iskra compa-ny to grant awards in memory of prof. Bedjanič for students from Yugoslavia for the best PhD, MSc, and BSc thesis from the field of electrical engineer-ing. After Slovenia’ s independence these awards were limited to electrical engineering students from the University of Ljubljana and the University of Maribor. Sponsorship of awards was taken over in 2009 by the Slovenian Committee CIGRÉ-CIRED. The chairperson of the board of awards was until 2013 Prof. Emeritus Dr. Anton Ogorelec.

PERLACHOVE NAGRADEAndrej Perlach, slovenski astronom, astrolog in zdravnik, je bil rojen leta 1490 v Svečini, umrl je 11. junija 1551 na Dunaju. Bil je dekan artistične fakultete, štirikrat dekan Medicinske fakultete Uni-verze na Dunaju, leta 1549 pa tudi njen rektor. V spomin na učenjaka Andreja Perlacha je Univerza v Mariboru leta 1993 na predlog kolegija rektorja (takrat je bil rektor prof. dr. Alojz Križman) in po potrditvi na seji Sveta UM preimenovala nagra-de za najboljše raziskovalne dosežke študentov v nagrade Andreja Perlacha. Namen je nagraditi raziskovalno oz. umetniško delo študentov. Vsako leto se lahko podeli le po ena nagrada, in sicer za področje naravoslovnih in matematičnih ved, za področje tehničnih ved, področje biotehničnih, zdravstvenih in medicinskih ved, področje druž-boslovnih ved, področje humanističnih ved in za področje umetnosti.

PERLACH AWARDSAndrej Perlach, Slovenian astronomer, astrolo-ger and medical doctor, was born in Svečina in 1490. He died on 11th of July 1551 in Vienna. He became Dean of the Faculty of Arts, was appoin-ted four times as Dean of the Medical Faculty in Vienna, and as Rector of the University of Vienna in 1549. In memory of scholar Andrej Perlach the University of Maribor in 1993 renamed awards for the best student research achievements into Perlach awards. The initiative came from the Board of deans (Rector was Prof. Dr. Alojz Križman) and was later approved by the Council of the Universi-ty of Maribor. The purpose of the Perlach awards is to rewards students for their research or art work. Each year one award is given from each of the field of natural sciences and mathematics, technical sciences, biotechnical sciences, medical and health sciences, social sciences, humanities, and arts.

ŠTUDENTSKA VEJA IEEEIEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) je največje združenje tehniških stro-kovnjakov s področja elektrotehnike, elektronike, telekomunikacij, računalništva ter z njimi pove-zanih strok. Ima več kot 400.000 članov. Ustvari dobrih 30 odstotkov vse svetovne literature s teh področij. Izdaja več kot 100 znanstvenih revij, do-stopnih tudi prek spleta, letno na stotine zbornikov znanstvenih konferenc, številne tehnične standarde in drugo gradivo. Globalno je IEEE organiziran po regijah. Slovenija je v Regiji 8, ki zajema vso Evro-po, Afriko in Azijo brez Daljnega vzhoda. V okviru Slovenske sekcije IEEE delujeta dve študentski veji: na Univerzi v Ljubljani in na Univerzi v Mariboru. Študentska veja IEEE Univerze v Mariboru je bila uradno ustanovljena na Fakulteti za elektroteh-niko, računalništvo in informatiko 20. 11. 1993 na pobudo njenega prvega svetovalca dr. Zmaga Brezočnika. Ena izmed glavnih aktivnosti obeh vej je organizacija izbirnega tekmovanja študentskih znanstvenih člankov na vsakoletni Elektrotehniški in računalniški konferenci (ERK) v Portorožu. Najboljši članek vsake študentske veje se pošlje v ocenjevanje na študentsko tekmovanje celotne Regije 8 IEEE. Le avtorji nekaj poslanih člankov z najvišjimi ocenami dobijo pravico, da svoje članke ustno predstavijo v finalu regijskega tekmovanja, ki poteka na eni izmed konferenc Regije 8 IEEE. Mariborski študentje dosegajo odlične uspehe tako na izbirnih tekmovanjih na konferencah ERK v okviru Slovenske sekcije IEEE kot tudi na tekmo-vanjih v okviru celotne Regije 8 IEEE. Navajamo samo tiste, ki so stali na zmagovalnih stopničkah regijskih tekmovanj: − 1993: Aleš Časar in Robert Meolic, 2. mes-

IEEE STUDENT BRANCHWith more than 400.000 members, IEEE (The In-stitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) is the largest association of technical experts in the fields of electrical engineering, electronics, telecommuni-cations, computer science, and related disciplines in the world. It creates more than 30 per cent of all the world’s literature in these areas. It issues more than 100 scientific journals, available also online, annu-ally hundreds of conference proceedings, numerous technical standards, and other materials. Globally, the IEEE is organised by regions. Slovenia is in Region 8, which covers the whole of Europe, Africa and Asia, excluding the Far East. There are two student branches within the framework of the IEEE Slovenia Section: at the University of Ljubljana and at the University of Maribor. University of Maribor IEEE Student Branch was officially established at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science on 20th November 1993 at the initiative of its first counsellor Dr. Zmago Brezočnik. One of the main activities of both branches is organising the student paper selection contest at the annual Electrotechnical and Computer Science Conference (ERK) in Portorož. The best paper of each student branch is sent for evaluation to the student paper contest of the entire IEEE Region 8. Only the authors of some top-rated submitted papers receive the right to orally present their papers in the finals of the regional contest, which takes place at one of the IEEE Region 8 conferences. Students from Maribor have been achieving great successes both in selection contests within IEEE Slovenia Section at ERK conferences as well as in contests within the whole IEEE Region 8. We list only those whostood on the podium of regional contests:

− 1993: Aleš Časar and Robert Meolic, 2nd place, Representation of Boolean functions with ROBDDs,

Erasmus+

UM FERI je ena najuspešnejših fakultet po izme-njavi študentov na Univerzi v Mariboru. Število incoming študentov je ustaljeno (okoli 70), število outgoing študentov pa se že več let zaporedoma dviguje; letos jih pričakujemo okoli 60. Predvsem na področju incominga smo uspešni tudi pri izme-njavi osebja, pri outgoingu pa še obstajajo možnos-ti za izboljšavo. Sklenjenih imamo 131 bilateralnih pogodb, tudi njihovo število se nenehno povečuje. Države, s katerimi imamo največ izmenjav, so Špa-nija, Portugalska, Turčija, Slovaška, Finska, Belgija, v zadnjih letih sta pri odhajajočih vse bolj priljub-ljeni Avstrija in Nemčija.

At the University of Maribor, FERI is one of the more successful faculties regarding student exchange. The number of incoming students is stabilised at around 70, the number of outgoing students has been constantly increasing over recent years and will in 2016 reach app. 60. We are also successful at staff exchanges, especially incoming; there is still room for improvement for the outgoing. We have signed 131 bilateral agreements; their number is also constantly increasing. The more intensive exchange is with Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Slovak Republic, Finland, and Belgium; over recent years amongst the outgoing students Austria and Germany are popular.

Učil je, razisko-val, strokovno pomagal sodelavcem in ustvarjalno prispeval k rasti sprva Višje tehniške šole preko Tehniške fakultete do Fakultete za elektrotehniko, računalništvo in informatiko. Hkrati je tudi sam znanstveno napredoval, pisal učbenike in vzgajal mlajše sodelavce. Neutrudno je sodeloval v Dru-štvu univerzitetnih profesorjev, opravljal vodstvene funkcije predvsem v povezavi s pedagoškim delom in bil med najbolj zaslužnimi za ponovno uvedbo mature. Zaradi dosežkov na pedagoškem, znanstve-nem in strokovnem področju ter zaradi prispevkov k rasti Univerze v Mariboru je bil ob upokojitvi leta 2001 imenovan v naziv zaslužnega profesorja. V Mariboru je svojo pedagoško pot nastopil leta 1970 kot asistent za matematiko. Uspehi pri delu so mu omogočili, da je že kmalu postal sprva pre-davatelj, kasneje pa profesor višje šole. Ob rasti teh-

Dr. Franc Brešar (born 1935 in Kranj, passed away 2013 in Maribor) had been active as a scientist and professor of Mathematics at the college and univer-sity levels of technical education since 1970. By edu-cating, researching and other kinds of professional as-sistance he creatively contributed to development of the Junior College of Technical Sciences, the School of Technical Sciences with a four year programme of study, and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Meanwhile he was building up his scientific career, writing textbooks and educating young colleagues. Tirelessly he participated in the Society of University Professors of the University of Maribor, also in leading positions primarily related to teaching. He put great effort into the reintroduction of the matura examination at the high school level. Due to his achievements in teaching, scientific work and important contributions to the growth of the University of Maribor, he was appointed the title of Professor Emeritus at his retirement in 2001. He started his teaching career as assistant for mathemat-ics in 1970 in Maribor. Being very successful, he

niške šole je rasel tudi sam: magistriral je leta 1976 na Univerzi v Zagrebu, doktoriral pa leta 1978 kot prvi doktorand VTŠ. Leta 1979 je bil izvoljen v naziv izredni, leta 1984 pa v naziv redni profesor za matematiko. Pri delu s študenti se je odlikoval z jasno razlago, zanimivimi primeri in dobrim odno-som. Pisal je priročnike, kasneje pa tudi učbenike z obilico primerno izbranih in rešenih nalog, s čimer je pokril vrzel v literaturi, namenjeni študentom tehnike, in sicer za področja diferencialnih enačb, integracije funkcij več spremenljivk in kompleksne analize. Raziskovalno se je usmeril v reševanje zahtevnih problemov, ki izhajajo iz elastomehanike, zahtevajo pa dobro in obširno znanje s področij kompleksne analize in parcialnih diferencialnih enačb. O tem priča njegova disertacija pa tudi nadaljnje znanstvenoraziskovalno delo, h kateremu je pritegnil nekaj sodelavcev. V bibliografiji lahko naštejemo 15 izvirnih znanstvenih člankov, s pri-spevki je sodeloval na več mednarodnih znanstve-nih konferencah. Njegova aktivnost na strokovnem področju je zgled za mlajše sodelavce – predstojni-štvo katedre in kasneje Inštituta za matematiko in fiziko na UM FERI, sedem let je bil prodekan za izobraževanje na Tehniški fakulteti, vodil je Dru-štvo univerzitetnih profesorjev, odlikoval se je kot predstavnik UM v Republiški maturitetni komisiji, bil je član strokovnih društev: Društva matema-tikov, fizikov in astronomov Republike Slovenije, GAMM (Gesellschaft für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik) in American Mathematical Society. Tudi po upokojitvi je ohranjal stike s sodelavci. V spominu nam ostaja kot dinamični vodja, neumor-ni sodelavec, duhovit sogovornik in vsem dober prijatelj.

soon became firstly the lecturer and later the senior lecturer. With the evolution of technical schools in Maribor he was also developing himself: he achieved his Master’s degree in 1976 at the University of Zagreb, and he defended his PhD thesis in 1978 as the first doctoral students at the School of Techni-cal Sciences with a four year programme of study. In 1979, he was elected Associate Professor, and in 1984 promoted to Full Professor of Mathematics. In teaching he excelled with a clear explanation of interesting examples and good relationship with students. He wrote manuals and later textbooks with an abundance of suitably selected and solved exam-ples, and thereby covering the gap in the literature for engineering students, in the areas of differential equations, integration of functions of several varia-bles and complex analysis. His research was focused on solving complex problems arising from elastome-chanics, requiring good and extensive knowledge in Complex Analysis and Partial Differential Equations. This is evidenced by his dissertation, as well as further scientific research to which he also attracted also some colleagues. In his bibliography there are 15 original scientific papers, and he participated with contributions at several international conferences. His professional activity is an excellent example to younger colleagues: he was the Head of the Depart-ment and later of the Institute of Mathematics and Physics at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, for seven years was Vice-Dean for education at the Faculty of Technical Sciences, he led the Society of University Professors, he distinguished himself in representatition of UM in the National Matura Examination Commission, he was a member of professional associations: the Association of Math-ematicians, Physicists and Astronomers of Slovenia, GAMM (Gesellschaft für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik) and the American Mathematical So-ciety. Even after his retirement he maintained contact with his colleagues. He will forever live in our memo-ries as a dynamic leader, tireless collaborator, witty interlocutor and a good friend to all of us.

Dr. Karel JezernikDr. Karel Jezernik se je rodil 11. 4. 1942 v Dokležovju, leta 1968 je diplomiral na Fakulteti za elektrotehniko Univerze v Ljubljani. Na isti inštituciji je leta 1974 magistriral in nato leta 1976 doktoriral s področja elektrotehnike. V letih 1974–1975 je del svojih študijskih obvezno-sti opravljal na Inštitutu za regulacije Tehnične Univerze v Braunschweigu v Nemčiji. Po kon-čanem študiju se je leta 1968 zaposlil v podjetju ISKRA-Avtomatika v Ljubljani, nato pa je bil vse od leta 1976 do upokojitve v letu 2012 zaposlen na UM FERI. Že takoj po zaposlitvi na tedanji VTO Elektrotehnika na Tehniški fakulteti je v letih 1977 do 1981 prevzel funkcijo predstojnika. V tem času je skrbel za razvoj fakultete, njegova tovrstna prizadevanja pa so bila prepoznana, zato je bil po predstojništvu v letih 1985 do 1987 postavljen za prorektorja Univerze v Mariboru. V letu 1985 je ustanovil Inštitut za robotiko. Ves čas je svoje vodstvene položaje izkoristil za spod-bujanje raziskovalnega in razvojnega dela. Zelo dejaven je bil tudi na pedagoškem področju, saj je bil med ustanovitelji interdisciplinarnega študij-skega programa Mehatronika, ki ga izvajata UM FS in UM FERI od leta 2001. Kot član različnih komitejev in združenj doma in v tujini je promo-viral Univerzo v Mariboru. V letih 1986–1994 je bil član znanstvenega koncila Rektorske konfe-rence Alpe Adria Donava, v letih 1994–1998 je bil član Nacionalnega komiteja pri Ministrstvu za znanost in tehnologijo RS, v letih 1997–2002 je bil predsednik Društva avtomatikov Slovenije, v letih 2008–2009 je bil član Razvojne skupine za vozila, transport in logistiko Sveta za konku-renčnost Vlade RS, v letih 2002–2004 je bil član IEEE IES (Industrial Electronics Soc.), predse-dnik za delavnice, v letih 2005–2006 je bil IEEE IES podpredsednik društva za tehniške aktivnosti,

ALUMNI

Alumni klub na UM FERI smo ustanovili leta 2009. Njegov namen je redno in tesno povezovanje fakultete s svojimi diplomanti, magistri ter doktorji znanosti. Najtesnejši in najlažje uresničljiv stik vsake fakultete z njenim okoljem, ki ni raziskovalne ali izobraževalne narave, je stik z njenimi alumniji. Preko teh povezav najlažje nastajajo in se izvajajo raznovrstne aktivnosti, od somentorstev pri zak-ljučnih nalogah, preko aplikativnih raziskovalnih projektov, do skupnega nastopa alumnijev in fakul-tete na javnih prireditvah. Alumniji lahko posre-dujejo merodajne in zaupanja vredne informacije o tem, kakšen ugled ima fakulteta v gospodarstvu, v politiki in kulturi; kako so njeni diplomanti spreje-ti in kaj se govori o njej. Hkrati nam lahko s svojim vpogledom v gospodarstvo in politiko svetujejo, kaj narediti za dvig ugleda fakultete, ter pri tem sami pomagajo. Z Alumni klubom si prizadevamo tudi za dvig prepoznavnosti in ugleda znanstvenih in strokovnih področij, na katerih fakulteta deluje. Z izpostavljanjem alumnijev fakultete, ki so na vidnih strokovnih in/ali javnih položajih in pri tem ne molčijo, na kateri fakulteti so pridobili svoje znanje, se dviga ugled tako fakultete kot njenih področij. K aktivnostim Alumni kluba želimo zato pritegniti čim večje število alumnijev. Največji odziv vedno dosega »letno alumni srečanje«, kate-

The Alumni club at UM FERI was launched in 2009. Its primary aim is a constant and stronger interaction with graduates. The most obvious and tight integration into our local environment has been, and will be, through our alumni. These connections allow for many different types of activities from co-mentorship, applied industrial projects to common public actions. The alumni also give us a valuable insight into the image UM FERI projects to the outside world either in education, politics, industry or culture, and how our graduates integrate into the professional life post university education. This insight also comes with valuable suggestions on how to improve that image, how to improve our »product« and last but not least, they sometimes become directly involved in helping us do it. The Alumni club is also about improving our standing within the scientific and professional arena by promoting our most publicly visible alumni members. The mission of the club is therefore to invite as many of our graduates to join and help us to improve. The most visible activity of the club is the annual meeting centering around a lecture on several professional and scientific aspects in relation to the faculty and the world around it. Finally, the

meeting is the perfect setting for our graduates to meet, catch up and form new partnerships.

KNJIŽNICA TEHNIŠKIH FAKULTET MARIBOR

LIBRARY OF TECHNICAL FACULTIES

Ustanovitev Knjižnice tehniških fakultet (KT-FMB) sega v zgodnja šestdeseta leta prejšnjega stoletja, v začetke razvoja višjega šolstva v Mari-boru. Knjižnica je bila ustanovljena leta 1962, tri leta po ustanovitvi Višje tehniške šole, in sicer kot prva višješolska knjižnica v Mariboru z nalogo, da načrtno zbira, hrani, obdeluje in izposoja gradivo s področja tehniških ved. Prvi vodja knjižnice je bil prof. Franček Majcen.Mejnik v razvoju knjižnice je bil postavljen z razvo-jem računalniške tehnologije. Leta 1972 je namreč raziskovalna skupina na VTŠ preučila možnosti uporabe elektronskega računalnika IBM 1130 v knjižnični informatiki. Že pred uvedbo skupnega računalniškega kataloga za celotno Slovenijo je knjižnica VTŠ imela računalniški katalog, ki je omogočal iskanje gradiva po avtorju in naslovu ter izpis knjižničnega fonda po abecedi avtorjev. Že takrat so nastajali enostavni seznami prirasta knjižničnega gradiva, interni knjižnični katalog pa je knjižnica s pridom uporabljala.Leta 1989 je knjižnica Tehniške fakultete pod vodstvom prof. dr. Metke Brkan med prvimi v Slo-veniji prešla na računalniško obdelavo knjižničnega gradiva v sistemu COBISS, ki je omogočil enotno računalniško katalogizacijo in klasifikacijo v skladu

The Library of the Technical Faculties in Mari-bor (KTFMB) was founded three years after the establishment of the Junior College of Technical Sciences in 1962, as the first college library in Maribor, with the goal of systematically collecting, storing, processing and lending of materials in the engineering field. Prof. Franček Majcen was its first chief librarian.A milestone in the development of the library coin-cided with the development of computer technol-ogy. In 1972, the researchers at the Junior College of Technical Sciences examined the options of electronic computer IBM 1130 applications in the library. The Library of the Technical Faculties had already had a computerised catalogue before the introduction of the common computer catalogue in Slovenia that made the search for material by authors and titles possible. The system enabled the registering of authors in alphabetical order. These were the beginnings of catalogues of the library material. The use of the internal library catalogue was a big benefit to the Library of the Technical Faculties.In 1989, the Library of the Technical Faculties, under the direction of Prof. Dr. Metka Brkan, started with the computer processing of the

s standardi COMARC in tako postala polnoprav-na članica konzorcija COBISS – kooperativnega bibliografskega sistema Slovenije. Danes je večina gradiva računalniško obdelana in zbrana v lokalni bazi KTFMB. Leta 1992 je knjižnica pričela še z računalniško izposojo knjižničnega gradiva.Če je uvedba računalniške tehnologije prvi mejnik v razvoju knjižnic, ki z njo postanejo sodobni informacijski centri, je za vsako knjižnico njen drugi pomembni mejnik gotovo njena obnovitev in razširitev prostorov. Prostori Knjižnice tehniških fakultet so bili obnovljeni relativno pozno, šele leta 1995. Tega leta smo z manjšim gradbenim pose-gom pridobili nekaj dodatnega prostora, da smo lahko s centralnim pultom optično ločili izposojo in časopisno čitalnico. Knjižnico smo takrat opre-mili tudi z računalniki (terminali) za uporabnike. Prostor je sicer še vedno nekoliko tesen, vendar je namen čitalnice vsaj delno dosežen. Tehniška fakulteta se je leta 1995 preoblikovala v štiri samostojne fakultete: Fakulteto za elektroteh-niko, računalništvo in informatiko (FERI), Fakul-teto za gradbeništvo (FG), Fakulteto za kemijo in kemijsko tehnologijo (FKKT) in Fakulteto za stroj-ništvo (FS). S tem je knjižnica tehniške fakultete postala skupna knjižnica štirih fakultet – Knjižnica tehniških fakultet Maribor.Knjižnica tehniških fakultet Maribor je odprta vsem uporabnikom, čeprav je glede na vrsto litera-ture namenjena predvsem študentom, profesorjem in raziskovalcem tehniških fakultet oz. zaposlenim na Univerzi v Mariboru.Knjižnično gradivo obsega strokovne in znanstvene monografije, učbenike in učno gradivo, priročnike, slovarje, enciklopedije, strokovne, znanstvene in poljudne revije ter časopise. Pomemben del knji-žnične zbirke predstavljajo diplomske, magistrske in specialistične naloge ter doktorske disertacije. Z letom 2009 so te vključene tudi v Digitalno knji-

library material within the COBISS system, which enabled a computerised cataloguing and classi-fication according to COMARC standards. The library became a fully authorised member of the COBISS consortium, the cooperative Slovenian bibliographic system. Today, most of the material is processed and collated in the local computer data-base KTFMB. In 1992, the library started with the computerised lending of the library’s materials.The restoration and expansion of the premises of the Library of the Technical Faculties took place relatively late, in 1995 with an additional few square metres of extra room, to optically rearrange the room and equip the library with computer terminals for its users. In 1995, the Faculty of Technical Sciences trans-formed into four separate faculties: the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (FERI), the Faculty of Civil Engineering (FG), the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology (FKKT) and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineer-ing (FS). The Library of the Technical Faculties became a library for all four faculties.The Library of the Technical Faculties is open to all users and is according to its material mainly appropriate for students, professors, researchers of the technical faculties and the employees at the University of Maribor.The library material contains professional and scientific monographs, textbooks and teaching materials, manuals, dictionaries, encyclopedias, professional, scientific and popular journals, and newspapers. An important part of the library collection is the theses, master’s dissertations, research and doctoral theses. Since 2009, these have been registered in the digital library of the University of Maribor (DKUM) and so freely available online.

žnico Univerze v Mariboru (DKUM) in kot take na spletu prosto dostopne v polnem besedilu.V knjižnici je danes uporabnikom na voljo 9 osebnih računalnikov, prostor pa je opremljen z brezžičnim signalom za dostop do omrežij ED-UROAM. Knjižnica je vključena v vse delujoče slovenske konzorcije, uporabnikom pa omogoča dostop do pomembnih elektronskih informacijskih virov (e-revij, e-knjig, bibliografskih baz podat-kov, citatnih indeksov idr.). Do e-virov je mogoče dostopati z vseh registriranih računalnikov na območju Univerze v Mariboru. Vpisani študenti UM in zaposleni na UM pa lahko uporabljajo tudi storitev oddaljenega dostopa do e-virov ob predho-dni registraciji na spletni strani UKM.

Today, the library facilities include 9 personal computers and the Wi-Fi signal to access the EDUROAM network. The library cooperates with all functional Slovene consortia and allows the users to access the relevant electronic infor-mation sources (e-journals, e-books, bibliographic databases, citation indexes, etc.). It is possible to access e-sources by all registered computers at the University of Maribor. Our registered students and employees (the website of UKM) can also use the additional services of a remote access to the e-sources.

DRUŽABNE AKTIVNOSTI

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES

FOTOKLUB UM FERIFotoklub UM FERI je bil ustanovljen januarja 2015. Klub sestavlja dober ducat ljubiteljskih foto-grafinj in fotografov, zaposlenih na fakulteti, ki so se odločili, da delijo svoje ujete trenutke z drugimi. Člani kluba smo organizirali in izvedli dve predava-nji o fotografiji ter delavnico portretiranja. Pripra-vili smo tudi dve razstavi. Prva razstava je poživila hodnike objekta G2, njena tematika je bila namreč »Zima – Pust«. Druga razstava je bila postavljena na temo »Maribor – FERI« in je popestrila dogajanje ob 20. obletnici fakultete. Člani kluba sodelujejo tudi z drugimi lokalnimi fotoklubi, v prihodnosti pa si želimo povečati članstvo, da bi lahko uspešne-je načrtovali in izvajali klubske aktivnosti.

PHOTO CLUB UM FERIPhoto Club UM FERI was founded in January 2015 and it’s very small club with only a dozen amateur members, employed on the faculty. The common wish to share caught moments with oth-ers was presented at two exhibitions. The first one »Winter – Carnival« adorn the corridors of the fac-ulty. The second one was organised as a part of the supporting activities of the 20th annual celebration of the faculty. Club members also have organised two lectures and one workshop about portrait photography, They also cooperate with other local photo clubs. For the future we wish to increase the number of members so that we could establish a healthy foundation for our next activities.

V mesecu novembru 2014 so okvi-ru 10. obletnice pristopa Slovenije k Evropski uniji izjemno uspešno nastopili na koncertu slovenskih pevskih zborov v Tuzli ter tako ponesli našo pesem tudi izven meja naše domovine.

PLANINSKA SEKCIJA UM FERIMnogo naših sodelavcev in študentov je ljubite-ljev rekreacije in narave, predvsem pohodništva in obiskovanja gora. Zato smo v smislu druženja in kvalitetnega preživljanja prostega časa, medsebojne-ga spoznavanja in s tem še izboljšanja medsebojnih odnosov ustanovili pohodniško/planinsko sekcijo UM FERI. Sekcija je bila ustanovljena aprila 2014 pod okriljem planinskega društva PD Maribor Ma-tica. V dveh letih obstoja smo člani naše planinske sekcije na mnogih pohodih spoznavali pokrajino in gorsko naravo Slovenije. Naše ture so bile prilago-jene različnim željam in zahtevnosti, od lahkotnih pohodov po Slovenskih goricah in okolici Mari-bora ter klasičnih planinskih tur ob spoznavanju skritih kotičkov Pohorja in Kozjaka. Vrhunec sezone so bili zahtevnejši gorski vzponi na Raduho ter Begunjščico in Špik v Julijskih Alpah.

MOUNTAINEERING AND CLIMBING SECTION UM FERIMany UM FERI employees, as well as students, are fans of nature and recreation, especially moun-tain hiking. To combine companionship, mutual understanding of each other while spending quality spare time, and to improve mutual relationships among UM FERI employees the Hiking/Moun-taineering Section UM FERI was established in April 2014 under the auspices of Mountaineering and climbing club PD Maribor Matica. Over the last two years our members have explored Slove-nian landscape and mountain nature. Our hiking trails are adapted to various needs and difficul-ties, from walking trails on the Slovene Hills and Maribor surroundings up to classic hiking trails at Pohorje and Kozjak. The highlights of the season were the demanding mountain climbs on Raduha, Begunjščica and Špik in the Julian Alps.
