In a powerful knowledge-based society, the e-Learning system has the capacity to transform education, creating major initiatives required to identify new skills and behaviors. In this paper we try to outline the position of this new educational system in the Romanian higher education strategy.

As an answer to many requirements, analysts recommend the inclusion of SOA and ESB in the IT management strategies, since these tend to become mainstream, overcoming their abstract vision status in the last decade. In this paper, we provide a study regarding the attitude of companies from north-western Romania with respect to this transition and the SOA-ESB models. Our analysis targets attributes such as: level of understanding, knowledge and concern in adopting such technologies, the management involvement in the company IT strategy, the added value of the new technologies and risk factors for the migration towards an SOA-ESB architecture.

Given the close integration of Romania into the European Union at the beginning of 2007, each university must bring its contribution in implementing the required standards into the educational system. Thus, this paper presents some arguments in favour of using an individual e-learning platform at the Faculty of Economics

Here we will present a study on the indigenous e-commerce websites in general and their usability in particular. Nowadays, an impressive number of virtual businesses were open despite the crisis, since others closed their doors due to the same reason. Thus, before starting a new business, it is strongly recommended to make a deeper analysis of the environment and potential competitors, especially in the Web 2.0 context. Web 2.0 provides a winning edge over e-markets that lack social connectivity and high usability features. Usability cannot be quantified easily. Despite this fact, this paper will propose a usability evaluation methodology that will be tested in the local virtual space. For a visitor, usability is more related to a feeling than a figure, and the designer must power the website with it. We have also tackled a main branch...

At present, a large number of e-commerce websites has invaded the virtual space. For this reason, before launching a business, it is very important to make an analysis, especially in the context of Web 2.0 which gives a winning edge over e-businesses that lack social connectivity and high usability features. In this article, we have approached a very important sub-domain of the electronic marketing, namely SEO (Search Engineering Optimization). The launching of an electronic business is very important, but the way the business develops has a vital role, especially the continuous optimization of the dynamic web site, in order to maintain it to the top of the search result list. For our purposes, a statistical study was applied, using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test.
