Šebek, Michael ; Pavlíček, Antonín (advisor) ; Oškrdal, Václav (referee)
Electronic means for creation, release and distribution of music are covered by the Bachelor thesis, particularly from a starting author's point of view. Major modes to release electronic music are reviewed with a particular focus on internet operating online music distributors that link the authors with music e-shops. Dozens of online distributors are reviewed for the conditions and services they offer to starting authors. Based on the data acquired by an original research, the online distributors are evaluated and compared according to the total benefit the author can achieve. The marketing of both singles and albums is considered. A new concept of averaged album is introduced to cope with diversity of distributors. Several methods are proposed and used to evaluate and compare the author's profit. Calculations are performed using a fixed number as well as an expected number of units sold. An electronic music debutant may apply the recommendations derived in the thesis, consult the data tables and the charts included in the text or even run the presented methods on his or her own. Intellectual property rights are also discussed and several organizations protecting the rights of music authors are reviewed and evaluated from a starting author's point of view.

Process analysis (case study - streamlining the processing of credit)
Frantová, Eva ; Oškrdal, Václav (advisor) ; Řehák, Jiří (referee)
The thesis deals with process analysis (case study - streamlining the processing of credit). The thesis highlights the procedural problems encountered in a particular IT company in processing credit. The theme of the thesis implies the practical orientation of the work, even though the work is divided into two parts. The first and shorter part is a theoretical basis for the practical part. Author finds a possible solution to process problems in modeling of the credit processing's subprocesses and identifying and analyzing problems using the selected methodology PDCA. This methodology is selected on the basis of multi-criteria evaluation. The result of this work is the proposal of measures to identify procedural problems, which is a basis for streamlining the analysed process and its subprocesses. The thesis will be the basis for the introduction of procedural changes in processing credit. The PCDA methology is not complete just with analysis and identification of the problems, so the company will continue in collaboration with the author of the thesis to establish and monitor the proposed changes. Information for the thesis are drawn from business, internet and literary sources, but also from available scientific articles.

The current state and development prospects of internet banking
Lych, Oleg ; Matuštík, Ondřej (advisor) ; Oškrdal, Václav (referee)
The thesis deals with the most recent and discussed issue of the safe provision of direct banking services. Although surveys indicate that users of banking online services do not show much concern about the safety of the internet banking, the reality is quite different. Banking houses put a lot of emphasis on the information embargo and their clients will never learn about the majority of attacks. Due to higher demands for the safety of direct banking applications compared to conventional applications, made available over the Internet are subject to increasing security demands, and there are a number of recommendations and standards that should be followed for the Internet banking to be considered truly safe. However, even if there is a full compliance with all ISO standards and the situation in security remains critical. Therefore, there is a need for broader use of security methods. This thesis carries out a very comprehensive analysis of all existing security methods and recommends new security methods. For better clarity, the new method embedded in the context of existing and they are viewed from different angles as the effectiveness of authentication methods to the threats, the appropriateness of methods according to the segment, application methods in various channels, customer relationship and hardware components of the method, comfort, etc. Finally, I use the Gartner's chart to better illustrate the advantages of the proposed methods.

Application of the process analysis in quality assurance and software testing
Popelka, Vladimír ; Oškrdal, Václav (advisor) ; Chromek, Ondřej (referee)
This thesis deals with questions regarding quality assurance and software testing. The subject of its theoretical part is the specification of the general concept of quality, description of standards used in the field of software product quality evaluation and finally the evaluation of software development process itself. The thesis intends to introduce the theoretical framework of software quality assurance, especially the detailed analysis of the whole software testing branch. An added value to the theoretical part constitutes the characterization of procedural approach and selected methods used towards the improvement of processes. The practical part of the thesis comprises of the exemplification -- it shows the procedural approach at software quality management, applied to a selected IT company. The main aim of the practical part is to create a purposeful project for optimization of quality assurance and software testing processes. The core of the matter is to accomplish the process analysis of the present condition of software testing methodology. For the purpose of process analysis and optimization project, the models of key processes will be created; these processes will then be depicted based on defined pattern. The description of the state-of-the-art of software product quality assurance processes is further supplemented by the evaluation of such processes maturity. The project for optimization of software testing and quality assurance processes comes from the process analysis of the present condition of software testing methodology, as well as from the evaluation of procedural models maturity. The essence of processes optimization is the incorporation of change requests and innovative intentions of individual processes into the resulting state of methodology draft. For the measurement of selected quality assurance and software testing processes, the configuration of efficiency indicators and their application on particular processes is implemented. The research on the of the state-of-the-art, as well as the elaboration of this whole project for optimization of software testing and quality assurance processes runs in conformity with the principles of DMAIC model of Six Sigma method.
