Abstract: Creating value people has become the primary objective of any learning systems. In reality, in the last time, this expression is hidden behind a lot of issues often overlooked. Using intelligent information technologies for e-learning systems we are building an information society, which can not be done without research and investment projects in education. Computers become more useful when artificial intelligence techniques are incorporated both in equipment and programs and the tasks are performed more effectively and at lower cost. Competence is the ultimate desire in Romanian higher education system and not even technologies or theories or other kind of approach will not eliminate/neglect professor-student relationship. In this paper, we will analyze the roles of intelligent information technologies used for higher education e-learning systems. Intelligent information technologies used for e-learning in Romanian higher education system are on stage of intensive development and probably each month, year and other period will bring new achievements in this field.
Brief Biography of the Speaker: Badea Lepadatescu is currently an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Technological Engineering and Industrial Management of Transylvania University of Brasov, Romania. He obtained his doctoral degree in 1998 in the area of machining through superfinishing process. After he graduated he worked five years as design engineer at Roman truck factory in the field of manufacturing processes where he designed many devices and special machine tools especially for superfinishing process. Started on 1982 he worked as research engineer at Transilvania University of Brasov, and after 1997 he is teaching at Department of Manufacturing Engineering. His main academic interests include Tolerance and Dimensional Control, Manufacturing Engineering Processes, Automation Processes, and Renewable Energy Sources. The research accomplishments are reflected through publications in a five books and authored or co-authored over 120 papers published at international conferences. He has extensive experience in both experimental and theoretical research work having more than 50 contracts with factories to design and produce machine tools for machining processes. Also in the field of Renewable Energy Sources together with a team he made two wind turbines, one with horizontal axis for taking water, and one with vertical axis to produce electric energy. He has been speaker to international conferences, has moderated forums, organized symposia, workshops and sessions at major international conferences
