Foreword about Jiri Vodrazka, Vice-head of the Department of Telecommunication Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague:

"After few years, the development of interface for bit rate 1 Tbps will can be expected. This will make it possible to create the super speed optical transmission system 1 Pbps (Peta-bits per second) with using extra multi-channel DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplex). Of course, that while the issues of increase of transmission speed will be developed, the fully optical switching and routing will must be settling."

Foreword about Michal Kratky, Vice-dean of FEECS for Science and Research and Chair of WOFEX Ph.D. workshop:

"Database Management Systems (DBMS) have been developed in former forty years. Since data volume grows every day, we need DBMS to be able to manage this large amount of information. Therefore, the development of DBMS will continue in future. Due to large volume of information, some new needed requirements emerged: high scalability using distributed DBMS, high parallelization using SIMD, GPU and other new hardware platforms. From data model point of view, there are some new concepts like NoSQL databases, where a user utilizes a less strict view on transactions (ACID properties are not completely required). As a result, these DBMS can provide a higher performance than common ACID-based relational DBMS. As the data volume growth continues every day, we expect other challenges in the world of database management systems."

Knowledge in Telecommunication Technologies and Optics 2010 & Research in Telecommunication Technologies 2010

Foreword about Miroslav Voznak and request to Autors of Advances in Electrical and Electronic Engineering journal:

"Communications technologies of the future will be more about communications of things than those of today. Naturally, the Internet will play a pivotal role, and I hold this view not only because Vint Cerf wanted to find his sock on the Internet. At the same time, the need for user ’s mobility will increase, in particular the mobility of management allowing for switching between different mobile technologies in operation. Cloud computing on the level of the servers with communication infrastructure providing services will be much more widespread. More emphasis will be put on security of developed solutions and their resistance against misuse and attacks."

Foreword about H. Gokhan Ilk and request to Autors of Advances in Electrical and Electronic Engineering journal:

"The future for speech processing applications lie in continuous speech recognition, where electronic devices understand what you say, know what you mean, and even talk back. That is practically artificial intelligence. When there’s something you need to do, speech recognition algorithms will understand your needs and sends a text to your friend, initiates a call to your mother or finds the shortest path to a desired destination. We will be able to see dramatic changes in our daily lives in the next ten years when applications become more popular. With respect to bioinformatics the ultimate goal is to have drugs for individuals. That is instead of commonly prescribed medicine we will have drugs and medicine suitable only for our individual specific DNA. The way we look at diagnosis and treatment in the health sector will also change dramatically in the next twenty years."

Foreword about Vladimir Vasinek, the member of the International Scientific Editorial Board of Advances in Electrical and Electronic Engineering journal:

"The Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science as a one of the largest faculties at the VSB-Technical University Ostrava passes through a rapid advancement. This is derived from a large number of student how in full-time study, so in a part-time one. Extramural faculty advancement towards a growing number of inland students is limited at the present time and next faculty development can be oriented only in the direction of growing number of foreign student, students of doctoral studies and development of research activities."

Foreword about Pavel Brandstetter and main goal of Advances in Electrical and Electronic Engineering journal:

"Electrical engineering, telecommunications and computer science is the heart of modern technologies and innovations from computers to electronic systems, cars, energy power systems, mechatronics, health care, biomedical devices and safety technologies. The EE and ICT branches belong to the top requested branches by potential employers because of their versatility."

Foreword about Milan Dado and history of Advances in Electrical and Electronic Engineering journal:

"We hope that the Faculty of Electrical Engineering together with the Technical University of Ostrava (VSB) will be able to include AEEE journal into international scientific indexed database. It will be the main appreciation for all people dealing with this journal at the present time. I hope it will contribute to new ideas for preparation of the future common projects in the international dimension and not only between our faculties."
