Progress Report
This section serves as overview of activities that were carried out in 2012.
Work-Package 1: Development of new curriculum in advanced I C T based production
engineering. WP leader Prof. T er je K ristoffer L ien, N T NU
The activity in 2012 has been concentrated establishing a basis for comparison of the syllabus
offered at UBL, NTNU and NUC, and from there determine the specific content of new courses
that will be focused on ICT in robotics and manufacturing automation. These courses should be
available for students both in the Manufacturing and the Mechatronics programs at UBL.
UBL expressed special interest in obtaining permission to use the teaching material from three
NTNU courses to improve similar courses at UBL. This refers to the following three NTNU
courses:
TPK4120 Safety and Reliability Analysis. Course coordinator Prof. Marvin Rausand
TPK 4135 Logistics and Production Management, Course coordinator Prof. Jan Ola
Strandhagen
TPK4155 Applied Computational Intelligence in Intelligent Manufacturing, Course
coordinator Prof. Kesheng Wang
NTNU agreed to share course material with the teachers at UBL and support them in
establishing or upgrading existing UBL courses in these fields.
Additional courses have been organized for UBL Students at the Faculty of Mechanical
Engineering, which shall assist students in gaining adequate knowledge in following fields:
AUTOCAD (20 students attended)
Visual Basic (20 students)
C++ (18 students)
CATIA (38 students attended)
In this way existing gap between the Norwegian practice and Bosnia and Herzegovina curricula
has been effectively bridged. At the same time, new course materials developed are made
available for future use.

Work-Package 2: Establishment of student/staff exchange program with special focus on
emerging I C T technologies in manufacturing. WP leader Prof. T ihomir Latinovich, UB L
First exchange of students was performed in period October-December, when four students
were sent to Norway.
Students have been selected through public invitation made by UBL, published in newspapers
in TEMPUS projects and students were obliged to sign a contract stipulating their obligations
and responsibilities with regards to funds provided under the project. Scholarship Award
Committee, appointed by the Rectorate of the Banja Luka University has made decision on
selection of candidates 10 July 2012.
Two students stayed for three months, and other two stayed for two months.
It has been planned that the same students attend courses for extra two months in spring 2013.
In this way, students shall obtain further skills and knowledge. This could be considered as an
added value for the project, as these students shall become valuable resource for UBL in further
implementation of activities related to VALIP throughout the rest of project implementation.

Work-Package 4: Develop V irtual Joint Laboratory for Advanced I C T in Production
(V A L IP). WP leader Prof. T rygve Thomessen, PPM
The intention of this WP is to develop a virtual system for integrating the laboratories to the
partners in the BANOROB project.
The main activity has been to establish a software platform for initial demonstration of the
potential functionality of the virtual system, VALIP. Thus, the main activities in 2012 have
been performed by PPM with assistance from UBL and NUC.
The basic functionality has been implemented, 3D models of two of the laboratories in PPM
have been made, and the initial modeling of the laboratory in UBL has started.
In addition, two students have been at PPM for three months, to go through initial training in
robotics, and get introduction to the initial version of VALIP.
It has also been a main activity to integrate
Similarly, two students from UBL have been at NUC to get initial training as a part of the
integration process.
Due to some delay of purchasing equipment at UBL, the UBL activities in WP3 have mainly
been moved to laboratory to keep the progress in the BANOROB project. In 2013, UBL
will get the laboratory up executed according
to plan.

Work-Package 6: Project Management and administration. WP leader , Dean B jørn
Solvang, NU C
This WP is mainly dedicated to project management and administration.
Already from the beginning templates for reporting, meeting minutes, internal documents and
presentations were published for all partners.
To have a common communication interface we have introduced a very efficient tool, a
document server. This way we have highly reduced the overhead with e-mail communications,
made changes visible and track able. The document server also serves as communication
platform between project partners, can assign tasks to each other and set up milestones; in other
words it is a project management portal. It is available from anywhere in the world and have a
total overview of the project status.
Organization of the meetings was also the task for this WP.
Signing of Memorandum between UBL and NUC 10/9/2012
To keep track of all happenings in the project life, we have hold weekly SKYPE meetings.
Minutes from these meetings are also published on the document sever.
