Human-computer interaction - cooperation of human and computer
Nápravníková, Hana ; Vacura, Miroslav (advisor) ; Sigmund, Tomáš (referee)
The work is devoted to Human-computer interaction and its main goal is to get closer to the field. The first part describes two main areas, namely Cognitive Science and Cogni-tive Psychology, from which HCI is based on. The second part deals specifically with Human-computer interaction, the history of the origins, aspects of human factor, ele-ments of interaction and modeling of interaction together with examples from everyday life.

The Term Eros in Plato's Dialogue Phaedrus
Šipková, Magdaléna ; Fischer, Ondřej (advisor) ; Vacura, Miroslav (referee)
The term Eros in Plato's dialogue Phaedrus The bacalaureate thesis is about the term eros (love) and its role in Plato's dialogue Phaedrus. It also considers the use of this term in dialogues Symposion and Republic. The thesis starts with the attempt to interpret the first half of Phaedrus. Emphasis is given to Plato's theory of the soul, how he tries to describe the soul and explain different powers in it. The thesis also tries to clarify the cultural background of Plato's theory of love and. It also explains the connection between philosophy and eros. At the end raises the question whether the theme might relevant for today. Finally it offers an attempt to definite the concept of love according to Plato. The overall goal of this thesis is to question the role of Eros (as a kind of madness) and it's connection with the search for truth and for the Being or Ideals (such as truth, justice and beauty).

Application of neuroscience in the field of marketing in relation to ethics
Smetanová, Alžběta ; Sigmund, Tomáš (advisor) ; Vacura, Miroslav (referee)
The bachelor thesis Application of neuroscience in the field of marketing in relation to ethics focuses on a current topic of neuromarketing and its ethical aspects. Firstly, it describes neuroscience as a discipline which lays the foundation for neuromarketing. Consequently, it defines the term neuromarketing and briefly summarizes its history. The thesis continues with a thorough examination of practical use of findings of neuroscience for commercial purposes, ranging from basic principles of neuromarketing to a relevance of this relatively new discipline. While reflecting diversity of opinions on the actual contribution of neuromarketing, the thesis proceeds with a discussion of the issue of communicating neuromarketing methods on a business-to-business market and then pays close attention to potentially unethical areas in the practice of neuromarketing. In its final part, the thesis debates a question of manipulation through the lens of three different approches to moral philosophy, namely utilitarianism, deontology and the ethics of responsibility.

Ontology matching and integration on the Semantic web
Apfelbecková, Anežka ; Zamazal, Ondřej (advisor) ; Vacura, Miroslav (referee)
Evolution of informatics ontologies is related to the evolution of semantic web. There is a large scale of ontologies designed to describe various application areas today. To cover the largest possible part of them, ontologies that use similar terminology and that have been designed for the particular domain are mapped and integrated. While the matching process allows to discover relationships and similarities between individual parts of ontologies, the integration process merges existing ontologies to create new ones. The aim of the thesis is to introduce basic principles of semantic web and knowledge ontologies. Practical part of the study is focused on ontology merging. The output of the thesis is created by the results of experimental measurement. Two independent ontology merging systems have been used for the experiment: DKP-OM and PROMPT. Integration results have then been compared and evaluated with general metrics. The bachelor thesis is divided into several sections. First part describes the theory behind semantic web and knowledge ontologies. Second chapter defines the matching process and ontology integration and introduces the tools used for the experiment. Third chapter covers evaluation metrics of ontology integration. The last part focuses on the experiment itself and its evaluation.

Upper Ontology UMBEL in Terms of Ontology Mapping
Vataščinová, Jana ; Zamazal, Ondřej (advisor) ; Vacura, Miroslav (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to introduce the topic of semantic web and linked data, to provide a description of the Upper Ontology UMBEL, its mappings to other ontologies, and to create new mappings to UMBEL Ontology. The source for this paper are publications and official web pages that are related to the topic. For viewing and browsing ontologies, editor Protégé is used. For mapping ontologies to UMBEL Ontology, application LogMap and UMBEL Web Services for searching for Reference Concepts are used. Contribution of the thesis should be the description of UMBEL Ontology in Czech language and creation of new mappings to UMBEL Ontology. The paper firstly provides a brief introduction to the topic of semantic web, linked data and ontology mapping. Then the thesis describes UMBEL Ontology, vocabularies in LOV and ontology mappings to UMBEL Ontology. Finally, newly created mappings to UMBEL Ontology are presented.

Modelování událostí na sémantickém webu
Hanzal, Tomáš ; Svátek, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Vacura, Miroslav (referee)
There are many ontologies and datasets on the semantic web that mention events. Events are important in our perception of the world and in our descriptions of it, therefore also on the semantic web. There is however not one best way to model them. This is connected to the fact that even the question what events are can be approached in different ways. Our aim is to better understand how events are represented on the semantic web and how it could be improved. To this end we first turn to the ways events are treated in philosophy and in foundational ontologies. We ask questions such as what sorts of things we call events, what ontological status we assign to events and if and how can events be distinguished from other entities such as situations. Then we move on to an empirical analysis of particular semantic web ontologies for events. In this analysis we find what kinds of things are usually called events on the semantic web (and what kinds of events there are). We use the findings from the philosophy of events to critically assess these ontologies, show their problems and indicate possible paths to their solution.

Vizualizace ontologií na sémantickém webu
Dudáš, Marek ; Zamazal, Ondřej (advisor) ; Vacura, Miroslav (referee)
For ontology development, sharing and usage, availability of a suitable visualization method is essential. Much research has been done in this area, but an ideal method is still missing. One of the reasons might be that most of the available tools offer a general visualization but various use cases require specific approaches to the visualization. This master thesis gives a general overview of current visualization methods and their implementations. Both the methods and specific visualization tools are evaluated from the perspective of several possible use case categories. Special focus is given on visualization of ontology transformations. As none of the available implementations is suitable for this use case as is, an alternative approach is proposed. This approach is based on using several existing visualization implementations together and allowing switching between them using a zoom-like function. It is experimentally implemented as a Protégé plugin.

Business Process Improvement through development of ontology
Elischer, Viliam ; Řepa, Václav (advisor) ; Vacura, Miroslav (referee)
The presented thesis offers in a wrapped form some basic information about HR procesess in an existing company and at the same time it draws new improvement options by applying an ontological solution. The aim of the thesis is based on a performed process analysis to select and resolve identified deficiencies by planed process improvements. Furthermore the author's solution enables to extend nowadays available options IT systems. The result of the diploma thesis is the description and categorisation of investigated process inefficiencies, followed by a relevant solution of ontological nature designed for elimination of the detected inefficiencies. The thesis is divided into three parts. First of them is oriented to characterise organization's environment, second part contains detailed analysis of hiring process and its subprocesses. Discussion about one of the most main uneffectivity's way, method of using IT systems in a process of process, runs on a base of knowledge contained in previous parts of the thesis.
