A methodology for automated evaluation of projects quality
The paper is devoted to the evaluation of the projects quality as an essential element of the quality assurance efforts. A methodology suitable for the quality evaluation of large-scale European networking educational projects is presented starting with an overview of its phases and important characteristics. Next the basic recommendations given by the methodology related to the quality of project deliverables, quality evaluation procedures and automation of the evaluation are introduced to identify the proposed approach to projects quality.

State estimation for integrated vehicle dynamics control
This paper discusses a vehicle controller and a state estimator that was implemented and tested in a vehicle equipped with a combined braking and chassis control system to improve handling. The vehicle dynamics controller consists of a feed forward body roll compensation and a feedback stability controller. The estimator is based on a non-linear vehicle model combined with an extended Kalman filter. The Kalman filter is also connected to an algorithm, which estimates the tyre-road friction coefficient. The developed estimator was tested in a vehicle. Good results were achieved for normal and extreme driving manoeuvers.
