Such instruments of the theory of inventive problem solving as contradiction and function analysis and trimming formed the basis of the proposed approach that was realized in a modern building information modeling software. The common logic of the approach is also provided in the article. Qualitative research methods and particularly collecting, analyzing and interpreting data were applied in this research. Firstly, a literature review of indexed journal articles in the field of the study was performed and some trends for possible development of the topic were identified. Secondly, a survey of potential users of the methodology was conducted and analyzed. The questionnaire results showed that the suggested method and its technical realization gained attraction among respondents, however, some of them are rather cautious regarding application of the approach potentials in their practice. The paper ends with evaluation results discussion, conclusion and proposals for further research.展开更多

Hardware and software itself changes quickly with the time and keeping them updated is a difficult problem for the most of the companies; the problem is more emphasized for the companies having large infrastructure of IT facilities such as data centers which are expensive to be maintained. Many applications run on the company premises which require well prepared staff for successfully maintaining them. With the inception of Cloud Computing many companies have transferred their applications and data into cloud computing based platforms in order to have reduced maintaining cost, easier maintenance in terms of hardware and software, reliable and securely accessible services. The benefits of building distributed applications using Google infrastructure are conferred in this paper.展开更多
