The tremendous growth of both market and customer requirements determines the projects in the software engineering branch to be characterized by complexity, dynamic and agility. As the significant results of the projects lead further to the sustainability of the organization, an important indicator of evolution is represented by how knowledge is treated within the organization and further transferred to the outside. There are multiple ways to operate projects from the software engineering branch and most of them are based on documented academical approaches as Agile Methodology or Waterfall Model, which present a different set of characteristics. However, this article studies, in an exploratory framework, how knowledge is gathered based on the approach of the project. This investigation might come at hand for those professionals that are willing to improve the project management framework by addressing those areas where a deep analysis of each process could help building a more efficient knowledge management in the organization. In addition to the contributions of understanding what's happening with the knowledge in software engineering projects, this investigation can be used, as well, for researches about an organization's sustainability.

The scientific paper proposes a pragmatic perspective of presenting some theoretical and practical aspects regarding a new approach within the studied organization, a process-based approach. The point of view submitted is a small part of the possibilities to implement the process-based approach. For an overview, I did a presentation of the organization in which I carry out my activity, the Sibiu County Directorate for the Registration of Persons, I showed the place and the role of the organization. Later, I explained the way, was organized and the activities that take place in the organization. An important aspect was the realization, in the organization, of personal analysis to make a new, process-based approach. Based on these processes we have made a current map of processes. A further direction of research is building a new process map following analysis to improve the processes within the studied public organization. Subsequently, we intend to execute the modeling of processes with a method that we will establish later.

This scientific paper aims to explore the identification and quantification of the knowledge level within a team working on a software engineering project. The knowledge level of a team plays a crucial role in the success and efficiency of project outcomes. To achieve this objective, a comprehensive review of existing literature on knowledge management, team dynamics, and software engineering practices was conducted. This article reveals insights into the knowledge dynamics within software engineering teams. The research methodology consists of different quantitative and qualitative methods for data collection and analysis. The identified knowledge gaps and strengths can inform strategies for improving team performance, such as targeted training programs or knowledge sharing initiatives. Furthermore, the quantification of knowledge levels can serve as a benchmark for future projects, allowing for better resource allocation and team composition. Overall, this research is bringing benefits to the field of software engineering by providing a systematic approach to identify and quantify the knowledge level of teams, enabling organizations to optimize their team structures and enhance project outcomes.

Sustainability and digitalization both require major transitions in our world and the way we imagine them. Digitalization is considered to be the engine that alters sustainability. However, it is not yet known whether and to what extent this digital transformation facilitates or hinders the development of a more sustainable world. The aim of this paper is to shed light on the implications of digitalization for sustainable development in Romania and to provide answers to the following questions: how does digitalization affect the most important pillars of sustainability? How can digital technology help to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals in the next period? These key issues are of immediate practical relevance and therefore need to be addressed by researchers and decision-makers alike. In order to achieve this objective, this research examines the relationship between digitalization and sustainable development, in the specific case of Romania, and examines how digital performance affects the main components of sustainable development, pursued on the basis of the following sustainable development objectives: non-poverty, good health and well-being, gender equality, decent work and economic growth, At the same time, it examines the most important measures for evaluating the level of digitalization of countries (more specifically, the Digital Economy and Society Index DESI methodology) and sustainable development at the macro-economic level (through the Sustainable Development Goals Index SDGI components).

The scientific paper presents a practical research carried out by the authors in order to implement certain concepts of technical nature, so that those interested in this field can become aware of a certain way of exposing the problems regarding the role of technology and autonomous vehicles in the sustainable development of car transportation. According to previous research, it has been found that human error has a share of about 95% in the occurrence of road accidents in Europe, causing thousands of human lives to be taken away annually. Experts in the field say that autonomous vehicles can significantly reduce this percentage and at the same time contribute to increasing road safety. Digital technology also has its advantages and disadvantages. It helps reduce congestion and pollution in road traffic, increases access to mobility for people with disabilities, creates new jobs, brings economic growth, increases safety in road traffic but can also become dangerous when disturbances and malfunctions make their mark on artificial intelligence. We present further a technical and managerial study with engineering nuances, through which readers can look at and understand the concept of sustainable development in a global context, presenting the place, role and current stage of development of the autonomous vehicle in the road transport system. At the end, some conclusions and further research directions in the approached field are presented.

This paper addresses the issue of intellectual property management in the knowledge-based economy. The starting point in carrying out the study is the presentation of some concepts regarding in the first phase, the intellectual capital. Arguments are made that the knowledge-based economy is a challenge for the current century. The subject of intellectual property is approached through the prism of a topical concept operationalized in the current global economic context. The main institutions that are directly related to this concept are mentioned. The topic of patents related to WOS indexed scientific papers is also debated, along with a series of statistics and studies on the state of patent protection worldwide in the top fields. The last part of the paper contains the conclusions and own points of view on the debated topic.
