A new model-based shape controller (XSC, i.e., eXtreme Shape Controller) able to operate with high elongation and triangularity plasmas has been designed and implemented at JET in 2003. The use of the XSC needs a number of steps, which at present are not automated and therefore imply the involvement of several experts. To help the session leader in preparing an experiment, a number of software tools are needed. The paper describes the SW tools that are currently in the developing phase, and describes the new framework for the preparation of a JET experiment.

Project management is almost a scientific discipline today. It is one of the fields where the practice hounds the theory. Pulse of industry of European automobile producers and sellers is so fast and dynamic as a result of the change of global conditions that the times when the theory described the processes and methodologies were set and then applied are gone a long time ago. Today this synchronically ticking organism dictates the trends in the sphere of development of supporting tools for the management of all the processes which participate on it. According to the theory of management the challenge for managers of the 21st century is to get over the failure. At the present the survival of automotive suppliers is conditioned by the ability to create a successful result from a lot of successes and failures in the individual sections of separate projects and by the means of proper project management to transform acquired nomination into successful supplies in the course of whole duration of the production. The thesis deals with the description of one of the ways how a tool for the support of project management and administration processes can be created in order to enable the owner of the process the so-called project manager to be successful.
