The subject is Second Life (SL) a totally virtual world that is starting to occupy a great economic place especially with e-commerce. For doing so, some data are arbitrarily chosen as done and projections are made from them. Data are expressed in billion of Linden dollars.

To improve the availability of application servers, we have conducted a study of virtualization technology and software rejuvenation that follows a proactive fault-tolerant approach to counter act the software aging problem. We present Markov models for analyzing availability in such continuously running applications and express availability, downtime and downtime costs during rejuvenation in terms of the parameters in the models. Our results show that our approach is a practical way to ensure uninterrupted availability and optimize performance for even strongly aging applications.

Due to the promotion of an an intelligence receptive culture, e-Europe software companies start to see the Romanian IT firms as extremely attractive targets for outsourcing projects that suppose not only NOT the creation of specialized software, but also the overtaking of maintenance or suppoert services. The creation of a website designed to facilitate the outsourcing projects will assure the increase of the Romanian IT companies’ visibility in e-Europe Articolul face parte din Analele Universitatii "Dunarea de Jos" din Galati, Fascicola de Economie si Informatica Aplicata, An XIII, nr.1, vol.1/2007 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z http://arthra.ugal.ro/handle/20.500.14043/26361 Revisiting the Competitiveness of Romanian Manufacturing Industry Rujan, Ovidiu; Gârdu, Dana Since the early 1990s the Romanian manufacturing industry has improved in many ways. This headway concerns the labour-intensive sector rather than the technology-intensive one. Apart from local entrepreneurship, foreign direct investments (FDI) have been instrumental in enhancing industrial competitiveness. The Lisbon Agenda revival and Romania’s EU accession will be further inducements for Western businesses to shift production here to fight back both low-cost producers (typically from emerging Asia) and more quality-oriented producers (typically from OECD countries). Hopefully, the FDI spillover effects will send positive vibrations across the economy, and tone down the asymmetry at the core of the manufacturing industry Articolul face parte din Analele Universitatii "Dunarea de Jos" din Galati, Fascicola de Economie si Informatica Aplicata, An XIV, nr.1, vol.1/2007 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z
