AeL 

Learning Content Management System 

AeL eLearning platform is an integrated teaching 

and learning program and content management 

system, based on modern educational principles 

and technologies. 

AeL eLearning platform offers support for teaching 

and learning, for tests and evaluations, for 

managing the educational content, for monitoring 

the educational system and creating the curricula. 

AeL can be used for the learning process assisted 

by the teacher/trainer or for individual education. 

AeL is implemented at undergraduate and graduate 

levels of the educational system, as well as in 

corporations for internal training needs. 

AeL design is very flexible: it can be used in several 

languages, different regions, learning levels and 

types of organizations. 

SIVECO Romania specialists are constantly 

assisted, in developing the AeL system, by 

experienced teachers designers, educationalists. 

AeL system aims to: 

Support the teaching/learning process by 

modern IT tools, providing the teachers a 

complementary instrument; 

Facilitate the learning process; 

Stimulate the creativity and competence, as well 

as team work; 

Use the software simulation as substitute 

teaching materials and tools, which are too 

expensive or difficult to be provided. 

General Features 

User friendly and adaptable interface, 

differentiated depending on the type of user, the 

access rights being configured; 

The roles, groups, users and associated access 

rights are easy to manage; 

Compatible with open standards (MathML, 

SCORM and IMS); 

Easy to install and manage (1510 platforms 

installed between 2001- 2004); 

Multi-lingual and regional support: AeL can be 

easily configured for use in any language 

AeL is a complete eLearning solution, offering 

facilities for managing and presenting different 

types of educational material, such as multimedia 

interactive materials, interactive guides, exercises, 

simulations, educational games and many others. 

The system has an electronic information database, 

for managing educational content, which can be 

adapted, configured and indexed. 

AeL is an optimum solution for: 

Synchronized learning - the teacher is 

completely in control of the lesson; he creates, 

coordinates and monitors the educational 

environment; 

Non-synchronized learning - the pupil/student 

has his own study pace, collaboration projects, 

being suitable for distance learning. 

AeL aims to offer a strong support to the 

responsible factors in deciding upon, controlling, 

planning, assisting and making forecasts about the 

educational process. 

Technical features 

Ael is a modern software platform based on 

the latest IT technologies. For portability and 

maintenance reasons, AeL was created as a multilayer 

system – using a web client connected at a 

Java-based application server. 

We use Enterprise Java Beans, Jdbc, Java servlets, 

JSP, Java applets and XML. The need for interoperable 

content has also been taken into account; 

XML is basically used, but the support for standard 

format for interoperability content packaging, such 

as SCORM and IMS, has also been implemented.

SIVABON 

a Credit Bureau solution 

SIVABON is an IT system for credit bureaus, with 

unlimited number of participants, a database of 

clients, which works with both negative (overdue) 

and positive data (granted credits, bonus/malus 

scoring system). 

SIVABON manages a shared database focused 

on information about the retail clients, debtors, 

fraudulent persons, and their accounts. 

Using a web interface, users and administrators 

can consult online, the database with information 

on the financial behavior, which is emphasized 

in the credit report. This comprises the 

demographical data (centralized on personal ID 

number), Credit Bureau centralized score, current 

degree risk for each account in the database, 

account history (with current payments, payment 

delays, bank losses). 

The participants are banks, financial bodies, 

insurance companies, leasing companies, retailers, 

telecom and utility suppliers. 


In case of clients who have debts or other payment 

problems, the owner of this system can adopt 

measures according to his own policy (he can 

ask for advance payment, specify a safe payment 

method, refuse the service etc). 

The system deals, with customers at national level 

who are in arrears with their payments or who have 

acted in a suspect or proven fraudulent manner, 

so that their evidence is made in real time at every 

system owner’s level and their subunits in the 

country; every owner benefits from and contributes 

to creating and maintaining such a database, 

including public information (available for all the 

users) and information about the owner (security 

information, available only for the owner), which is 

extremely important. 


The system is designed in a modular, open and 

extensible manner, which allows the user to add 

new facilities and improve the existent ones. 

Specific access rights protect the system data and 

functionalities. 

SIVABON is a 3-tier application, using the HTTPS 

protocol over the multiple VPN’s, ORION application 

server and Oracle 9i relational database server.

extended and adapted. SIVADOC can function in an

SIVECO Virtual Center for Excellency 

Launched at the beginning of 2003, SIVECO Virtual 

Center for Excellency gathers a series of initiatives 

started by SIVECO Romania in the educational field, 

initiatives that contribute to promoting creativity 

in computer assisted learning. This initiative is 

based on the companies’ concern for complete 

and complex eLearning solutions. Two reference 

contests have been launched so far within SIVECO 

Virtual Center for Excellency: SIVECO CUP and 

“How to become a champion”. 

SIVECO CUP 

Organized by SIVECO Romania in association 

with the Ministry of Education and Research and 

PC Magazine, the national educational software 

contest “SIVECO CUP” is a reference competition 

for the undergraduate educational system. The 

competition addresses, first of all, gifted pupils 

with skills in implementing educational information 

applications, as well as teachers able to create 

innovative learning methods. SEI education portal 

forum http://portal.edu.ro is the communication 

environment the contest takes place in. 

This is the first school competition where the 

jury has also a tutorial role - in other words, it 

takes part in correcting the competitors’ creative 

strategies, without modifying the points they have 

obtained. In this respect, the competition is a 

premiere in Romania. Why? Because “SIVECO CUP” 

is the first national competition with a real end: all 

the valuable products presented in the competition, 

no matter their final classification, are included in 

the high-school educational training program and 

promoted abroad. 

Thus, 2003, 2004, and 2005 winners presented 

their works at ONLINE EDUCA Berlin; they were 

highly appreciated and contributed to building an 

eLearning producer image for Romania. 

How to become a champion 

Together with SIVECO CUP educational software 

contest, “How to become a champion” is an 

integrated part of SIVECO Virtual Center for 

Excellency. 

The idea that generated “How to become a 

champion” is that building up a permanent training 

and testing environment for the elites is the way 

to improve and maintain the computer science 

olympics’ performances. Taking place on the 

Internet, as a real computer science online training, 

the competition is structured according to age 

levels: 

first level-pupils up to 9th grade; 

second level-10th grade pupils and 

third level- 11 th-12th grade pupils. 

For those little by age but advanced in informatics 

field there is also the possibility to participate at a 

higher level. 

Those registered in the competition can train 

themselves in twelve rounds. 

In a round we propose two algorithmic issues. 

The solution for one issue means to implement 

the solution in one of the following programming 

languages: Pascal, C or C++ and send it for 

evaluation using the website. 

Training rounds alternate with those in the 

competition. Within a training round are 

proposedthe issues that the participants have to 

provide a solution within two weeks. 

Once a month there is competition round, in which 

the participants provide solutions to the proposed 

issues according to deadlines, with the purpose to 

train themselves for IT competitions. 

The pupils have to send their solutions only using 

the website, by the date and hour specified as the 

finish moment of that round. 

All the solutions are evaluated by an automated 

evaluation soft, similar with those used at 

international IT competitions. 

“How to become a champion” is coordinated by 

Emanuela Cerchez and Marinel Serban (teachers, 

Iasi), coordinators of SIVECO CUP 2004 winning 

team. The results obtained by the How to become 

a champion pupils speak for themselves: 26 

out of the 30 finalists of 2005’s edition were 

awarded at the National Olympiad in Computer 

Science (Galaţi, 2005) and two “How to become a 

champion” winners were awarded silver medals 

at the International Olympiad in Computer Science 

(Poland, August 2005). 

SIVECO Academy 

SIVECO Academy is a complementary training 

program that aims at training students groups 

at highest quality and performance standards in 

software engineering and IT business. 

The program addresses students in terminal years 

who want to mix theoretical knowledge attained 

during university with practice in Romanian biggest 

software house. 

SIVECO Summer School
