Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro / A utilização de sistemas de informações geográficas via Web (Sigweb) tem crescido nos últimos anos pela facilidade na manipulação e visualização de informações de diferentes lugares através da Internet. O objetivo deste estudo é realizar testes de sistemas de informações geográficas na Internet com ênfase na técnica funcional para avaliar a funcionalidade, usabilidade, a navegabilidade dos programas conhecidos como Sigweb prontos para usar. Para tanto, foi necessária a identificação dos casos de uso dos programas propostos para o estudo. Como resultado se pode conferir o comportamento dos sistemas durante os testes, além de distinguir as características de cada SigWeb e as dificuldades encontradas. / The use of Geographic Information System by Web (SIGWeb) has grown in the last years by the facility in manipulation and visualization of informations of different places through of Internet. The purpose of this work is accomplish test methods with emphasis in the functional technique where is valuated the functionality, usability, navigability among other types of test programs that are known as Ready Sigweb to use. Therefore, it was necessary to identify cases of use of each proposed for the study. As a result it can check the behavior of systems during the tests, and distinguish the characteristics of each Sigweb and the difficulties.

The theme of this thesis is to analyze current technological trends with a focus on open source software in terms of relevance and importance for enterprises. The main objective is to evaluate the current status of open source software for Czech enterprises and characterize the progress based on data from 2010 and 2015. The thesis describes the basic forms of software used by companies which are further categorized based on the functionality and usability. The specifics of open source software and its licenses are defined. Subsequently the selection of specific open source licenses, generally perceived views on their use and the status of open source software in various stages of its existence are described. Analytical part describes the results of the author's survey in Czech enterprises in terms of open source software application for 2015. The results are compared with data from 2010 and appropriate conclusions are defined. Finally, the hypotheses are connected with the results of the author's survey, data comparison, available open source methodologies and other sources for an overall assessment of the situation in the Czech Republic.

The object of this mater’s thesis is to analyze current situation of information system at municipal office of Blansko and to review it. Subsequently to suggest other possible solutions and improvements. Formulation of economic and other advantages and possible disadvantages and problems that can occur in case of implementation of other OpenSource components.

The subject of this thesis is open source software and free software in term of utilization for business. The goal is to provide conditions and areas suitable for using of open source software and free software. The theoretical part gives basic terms, a list of organizations active in this area, classification of free software and a comparison of particular free software licenses. The practical part includes results of two inquiries of free software using: 1) personally made inquiry in Czech firms, 2) Internet inquiry of users. Further, a search of available free programmes has been made -- in term of utilization. The main benefit of the work is an evaluation of business opportunities for free software in particular utilization areas and determination of business models suitable for them. In the framework of this work, the author made an Internet portal on free software - to make the results of the work and external sources available to the public.
