Current paper describes Decision Support System (DSS) "E- Analyst" developed in Abu Dhabi Men's College (UAE). The DSS is used as an analytical tool that helps to select the most suitable DBMS for the Projects students are assigned to. DSS supports multicriterial analysis of the User requests, 2-stage Decision making process, active interaction with the users, and additional up-to-date information about DBMS, and the links to the related sites. The DSS is used as the Support Learning Tool for the following online courses: System Analysis, System Development Tools, Management Information Systems.

The discussion is illustrated by examples of Multimedia-enriched online course developed in co-operation between Riga Technical University and Abu Dhabi Men's College. The paper contains a description how course text-based instructions are supplemented by animated examples, interactive exercises, and video interviews to help students to understand better the theoretical concepts, to develop practical skills, and to be aware of Industry problems, trends, and expectations. The Authors recognize the fact that the effective online course requires professionally created and audience-oriented content and intercommunication and interaction tools between the online content, online instructor and the students. They present a practical solution how the interaction and intercommunication component can be supported by multimedia tools in the course delivery. The...

We conclude that "de-scoping" is the only reliable approach for accelerating a business process simulation project in response to client pressures. A thought experiment supports this conclusion.

JIVESim is an iconic modelling environment for discrete-event simulation. The paper will give an overview of JIVESim and its architecture, which consists of atomic icons and integrated icons. The advantages of Java language that support discrete event simulation will be discussed. The aim of the paper is to address some of the challenges that computer simulation faces. These challenges are complexity, inaccessibility, and high cost. Related aspects of design and implementation are presented and critiqued.
