    Capacity mechanism – some properties of its design and remuneration

    Innovations, Vol. 10 (2022), Issue 1, pg(s) 24-26

    The instant paper deals with the mechanism for capacity provision, which is instrumental for the operation of the capacity market. The latter belongs to the wholesale electricity market and complements the energy only one. The capacity market is tasked with securing reliable power generation under the conditions of imbalance and stress for the energy system. Capacity and energy only markets interact in a consistent manner, thus their proper operation becomes crucial. The capacity market, however, seems to be expensive and few energy systems throughout the EU rely on it. Therefore, it is important to draw a line between different capacity mechanisms already set up and operated in terms of their most important features such as physical volume and clearing price setting. This analysis seems relevant for policy-makers’ decision to adopt or to dismiss the mechanism for capacity in Bulgaria.

    An overview of existing methods for evaluating mobile applications to change user behavior

    Industry 4.0, Vol. 7 (2022), Issue 1, pg(s) 21-25

    Advances in behavioral science are growing and technologies and portable devices are evolving. Taking into account the characteristics of human behavior and existing biases and heuristics, better and more effective applications can be designed to influence the acquisition and development of positive habits such as goal setting and achievement. This includes goals such as sports, healthy eating, acquisition of daily routine self-care skills, timely medication and more in order to gain self-confidence, confidence and develop an identity. This article will review existing methods for evaluating and synthesis behavioral interventions. The results of the study will be used to build an application to achieve goals

  • E-RECRUITMENT PUBLIC SERVICES ONTOLOGICAL MODEL

    Innovations, Vol. 1 (2013), Issue 1, pg(s) 22-27

    Ontology is a broadly established tool for modelling of context information. Such researches have been carried out in many diverse areas for numerous purposes particularly in the e-Employment domain. A closer look on a current work of such domain of ontologies such as e-Recruitment is taken into account in this article. Ontology application for e-Recruitment is becoming an important task for matching job postings and applicants semantically in a Semantic web technology using ontology.

    This paper aims to optimize and enhance e-Recruitment processes in the domain of IT staffing services, and especially e-Recruitment processes that use Web platforms as means of sourcing candidates. The model is a response to a number of categories of requirements, ranging from the semantic to the performance of software at runtime. The successful starting point of a flourishing model must be an ontological analysis of the processes of e-Recruitment delivery, seen as a scientific problem-solving process. Through such approach a classification of types of e-Recruitment information is developed. Then a hierarchical ontology schema is examined, including domain ontology and set of application and task ontologies.
