Summary
This work solves problem of evidence of customers and servers in a hosting company. More precisely it solves fragmentation of such evidence across many non-cooperating systems. This problem is solved by creation of new information system which shows all information in one place. It is even capable of creating new server instances along with proper evidence. For the company and its employees the system brings simplification of routine operations and more precise evidence. For an external reader, implementation itself may be interesting. For example, the system does not use any storage, and gets all the data asynchronously over the HTTP REST API.

Summary
This bachelor thesis is dedicated to resolving the issue of planning shifts and organizing time schedules of part-time workers in companies. The motivation for choosing this topic came from a vision of a more pleasant and better arranged environment for work, both for the employee and the employer, as well as for prevention of problems (ie. shift collision, exceeding the limit of workers on a certain shift) and as a security element against unauthorized changes (ie. interfering with other people's shifts, unreported cancelling of user's own shifts). The goal of this thesis is a descriptive design, analysis and implementation of an information system, which will resolve this problem. Part of the analysis will focus on detailed setting of requirements on the shifts' life-cycles, user permissions and internal processes requirements. The information system itself will be realized as a web application based on PHP and using an appropriate framework and it will communicate with a MySQL database. As the main result of this thesis, the prototype of the application will support authentization of individual users, differentiation of individual user roles, manipulation with shifts using the rules specified in the analysis and well-arranged display of the availability of shifts.

Summary
This thesis focuses on comparion on two tools for business process modeling. DEMO methodology and BPMN notation. It is a result of my cooperation with Bc. Jan Mára under the leadership of Ing. Petra Pavlíčková, Ph.D. The theoretical part consists of introduction to business process, BPMN notation, DEMO methodology and usability testing. The practical part contains description of the Czech Republic's legislative process and it's BPMN and DEMO models. We performed a usability study of both of our processes together with Jan Mára. We formed a hypothesis, that BPMN is more user friendly than DEMO to an inexpirienced user, based on the usability study. Our other conclusions were, that a short DEMO introduction is not good enough for a regular inexpirienced user, BPMN is partially intuitive due to it's special symbols and our third conclusion was, that DEMO methodology was designed for more complicated processes than the Czech legislative process.

Summary
In scope of this thesis is Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) and Design \& Engineering Methodology for Organizations (DEMO), which describe different ways of process modelling. Both have different approaches and we will try to find out which one is more appropriate for specific situations. We will try to define two situations, one suitable for BPMN and one suitable for DEMO. Then we devise hypotheses about readability of BPMN and DEMO models in these two situations, determine criteria for evaluating hypotheses and compare those four models with user testing in the usability laboratory. Based on the testing results, we evaluate expressed hypotheses. During searching for suitable situations, we found that to keep models comparable, we cannot clearly identify process more appropriate for BPMN or DEMO. Thus, we focused on research and concluding hypotheses from testing. We found situation that suits both approaches and we tested their models in laboratory. In conclusion, we hypothesize that BPMN diagrams are more intuitive than DEMO models for readers unaware of either approach. We recommend a follow-up study of BPMN-based and DEMO-based BPM systems, because we think that DEMO has enormous potential but applying DEMO heavily depends on implementation of its BPM system.

Summary
The aim of this thesis is to create business model of cloud applicaton for 3D model rendering. Eventhough there is almost limitless computing power available through cloud in these days, people often render visualisations on their own computers. Rendering is very computationally difficult task, so their devices might become useless for several next hours. The aim is to create a suitable solution for these users, which can help them to increase their work efficiency. Business model is built on solution created on CTU FIT as a part of project Dowry Towns of the Queens of Bohemia. This solution is unique in possibility to generate textures, which can change atmosphere of the visualisation. This can also be used in the area of virtual reality, where the business model also intervenes. The first part of the thesis deals with a search of problematics and methodologies needed for the work. It is followed by practical part, which includes the analysis of already finished part of the system, the analysis of the environment and especially the creation of a business model. Design thinking methodology is used in this part. The creation of business model is followed by the preparation of the implementation of the entire project. Financial plan, time schedule or risk analysis are created in this part.

Summary
This thesis deals with the issue of identifying risk interdependencies. It presents the current key methodological approaches to risk management and summarizes current knowledge about the dependencies between risks. The work proposes a new way of structured description of risks - risk scenario - which allows the identification of several types of interdependencies. These dependencies have been found and a way has been devised to identify and assess them. One specific type is a dependency called a causal dependence or domino effect. Furthermore, an information system is proposed in the work, which implements the proposed method of identifying the interdependencies of risks. With the help of experiments with a developed prototype of the system and a set of test risks, some important findings are evaluated.

Summary
The diploma thesis deals with the creation of a web application for learning the MPM method. Metra Potential Method is one of the methods used for time analysis of a project within project management. This method is very similar to the critical path method, which it extends with the positive and negative potential of individual links between activities. Thanks to these potentials, the method allows to change the project schedule without complicated modifications to the network diagram topology. The created web application provides the student with all the theory concerning this method, including its extension by various types of links. The application also contains a visual editor for creating network diagrams on which this method is simulated, including a description of its calculation. The student can create a network diagram from the first activity or upload several sample examples, with which he can work further.
