Choosing the optimal software architecture for cloud-based systems is a critical and complex Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problem, characterized by multiple, often conflicting, and interdependent criteria such as performance, cost, scalability, deployment speed, security, and maintainability. This research addresses this challenge by proposing and applying an integrated MCDM methodology that leverages Evidential Reasoning (ER) and Bayesian Inference (BI). The study's primary objective is to provide a robust and transparent framework for evaluating six common architecture styles: Monolithic, Microservices, Layered, Serverless, Event-Driven, and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). The methods employed involved a multi-stage process. First, criteria weights were derived using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) through expert pairwise comparisons. The techniques for handling uncertainty and dependencies were central. ER was utilized to aggregate subjective and objective assessments, representing them as belief distributions to explicitly account for imprecision and ignorance. Concurrently, BI was applied to model probabilistic interdependencies between criteria (Security influencing Performance, Performance influencing Scalability and Cost) within a Bayesian Network. The Intelligent Decision System (IDS) tool facilitated the operationalization of both ER aggregation and Bayesian inference. The results of the AHP weighting revealed the priorities: Performance (0.3930), Security (0.2355), Scalability (0.1420), Maintainability (0.1160), Deployment Speed (0.0568), and Cost (0.0568). The overall evaluation, integrating these weighted criteria with ER and BI, identified Monolithic architecture as the most suitable option, achieving a utility score of 0.81. This ranking was followed by Event-Driven (0.69), SOA (0.68), Serverless (0.68), Microservices (0.65), and Layered (0.47). A comprehensive sensitivity analysis was conducted to assess the robustness of this decision. Crucially, the analysis demonstrated that while the Monolithic architecture was initially optimal, significant shifts in criteria weights could alter the ranking. Specifically, when the weight of Security was substantially increased (to ~0.32) and Performance decreased (to ~0.25), the Serverless architecture emerged as the new top-ranked alternative (83% utility score), surpassing Monolithic (78%). This finding underscores the critical influence of strategic priorities on architecture selection. Future studies may also focus on developing data-driven, adaptive, and domain-specific decision frameworks to enhance the robustness, transparency, and real-world applicability of MCDM approaches for cloud-based software architecture selection.

The variables considered are Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), Price Perception, and Hedonism, and their effect on purchasing habits, with live streaming as a mediating variable for Generation Z TikTok Shop users. FoMO is a psychological state of anxiety regarding missing out on experiences that are appreciated by others. Price Perception refers to the act of deciphering price options based on obtained information in order to develop a sense of a product's pricing. Hedonism, on the other hand, refers to the tendency to seek pleasure and enjoyment. Generation Z, with its technological and social media savviness, often exhibits spontaneous buying tendencies in the case of online shopping, particularly on highly used apps like TikTok Shop. This research is quantitative in nature with survey techniques on 243 respondents of Generation Z who are active on TikTok Shop in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi—locations that significantly contribute to the population and economic growth of Indonesia. The findings show that there is a positive correlation between FoMO and Price Perception variables and online impulsive buying, while Hedonism did not have any effect. In addition, Generation Z's engagement with live streaming shows a substantial positive effect on all three independent variables associated with impulsive consumer behavior. The results offer essential insight for e-commerce professionals who aim to create more effective marketing strategies by utilizing drivers that can strengthen and stimulate impulsive buying behavior among Generation Z consumers.

In the paper, we consider unselfish (not self-interested) entities that do their best to achieve their common goal(s) without expecting any compensations or payoffs. The number of alliance members is assumed to be limited and fixed. To solve specific tasks, alliance members form coalitions. Generally, many coalitions can be formed by alliance members, and the problem arises to select the best of them. It can be done on the basis of some criteria, one of which could be coalition fault tolerance. Despite the great volume of conducted researches, only a few metrics have been proposed that can be used to quantify the coalition fault tolerance. The paper proposes new metrics for measuring coalition fault tolerance. A simple example explains how to compute coalition fault tolerance by using the proposed metrics. Bi-objective optimization problem, in which one of the objectives is coalition fault tolerance, was solved in the paper. Compromise programming was used to solve the optimization problem.

This study proposes a novel tiltmeter system utilizing Parallel Dipole Line (PDL) technology, where a diamagnetic graphite cylinder is levitated within a camelback potential field generated by parallel magnetic dipoles. Variations in the vertical position of the graphite cylinder correspond to tilt angles, which are captured by a high-resolution imaging system and processed using a Jetson Nano microcomputer for real-time analysis. Experimental results show that shorter graphite lengths can increase the measurement range. One of the test results is that 6 mm graphite can measure inclination in the range of -1.00000° to +0.99999°. In contrast, longer graphite, such as 12 mm, only reaches a range of -0.60000° to +0.60434°. In addition, the increase in graphite length and the reduction in magnet dimensions significantly help reduce oscillations during measurement, which ultimately improves system stability. The optimized PDL-based tiltmeter is capable of detecting inclination with a high resolution of up to 10⁻⁵ degrees, with critical damping used to eliminate oscillatory interference. These findings confirm that the PDL tiltmeter system offers much better precision, stability, and durability than conventional methods, making it a potential innovative tool for high-resolution geotechnical and structural monitoring.

This study investigates the predictive performance of sixteen regression models for daily profit forecasting using transactional data collected from a single local pharmacy in Sabha, Libya, over a 14-month period. An exploratory data analysis revealed strong right-skewed distributions in sales, cost, and profit, as well as pronounced temporal patterns, including seasonal peaks during spring and early summer and weekly profit clustering around weekends. After outlier treatment using the interquartile range method. A total of sixteen regression models were developed and evaluated, encompassing linear models (Linear, Ridge, Lasso, ElasticNet), tree-based models (Decision Tree, Random Forest, Extra Trees, Gradient Boosting, AdaBoost), proximity-based models (K-Nearest Neighbors), kernel-based models (Support Vector Regression), and neural architectures (Multi-Layer Perceptron, Convolutional Neural Network, Long Short-Term Memory, Gated Recurrent Unit). The models were assessed using Mean Absolute Error, Mean Squared Error, Root Mean Squared Error, and the R-squared score. The results consistently showed that tree-based ensemble models—particularly Extra Trees and LightGBM—achieved the highest accuracy, with R² values of 0.978 and 0.975 respectively, significantly outperforming neural and linear models. Learning curves and residual plots further confirmed the superior generalization and robustness of these models. We acknowledge that the dataset size (424 records) and the deterministic relationship between sales, costs, and profit influence these metrics. The study highlights the importance of model selection tailored to domain-specific data characteristics and suggests that well-tuned ensemble methods may offer reliable, interpretable, and scalable solutions for profit forecasting in simialr low-resource retail environments. However, broad claims of usefulness for all low-resource settings should be tempered by the limited scope of this dataset. Future work should consider longer-term data and external economic indicators to further improve model reliability, and focus on operational deployment strategies, investigating how these models can be integrated into daily pharmacy workflows despite real-time data constraints.

The SME sector plays a significant role in its contribution to the national economy in terms of the wealth created and the number of people employed. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Egypt represent the greatest share of the productive units of the Egyptian economy and the current national policy directions address ways and means of developing the capacities of SMEs. Many factors could be responsible for the low usage of e-commerce among the SMEs in Egypt. In order to determine the factors that promote the adoption of e-commerce, SMEs adopters and non-adopters of e-commerce were asked to indicate the factors inhibiting the adoption of e-commerce. The results show that technical barriers are the most important barriers followed by legal and regulatory barriers, whereas lack of Internet security is the highest barrier that inhibit the implementation of e-commerce in SMEs in Egypt followed by limited use of Internet banking and web portals by SMEs. Also, findings implied that more efforts are needed to help and encourage SMEs in Egypt to speed up e-commerce adoption, particularly the more advanced applications.

Hence, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system has been developed to solve this problem, but it allows only checking student’s attendance as they enter and exit the school premise only. In consequence, teachers in every subject still need to check and monitor students’ attendance manually. Nevertheless, due to a usual large number of students entering and existing the school premise as they are tapping their RFID card, there is always a possibility of proxy attendance. Thus, Mobile-Based Attendance Monitoring System Using Face Tagging Technology (MBAMSUFTT) was developed to provide an attendance monitoring system through biometric authentication such as face recognition. The system serves as a tool for teachers to check and monitor student’s attendance in most reliable and accurate way using their smart phones. The MBAMSUFTT generates attendance report intended for close monitoring and printing of student’s attendance result. But the reliability of the attendance result (output) of the system depends on the quality of picture (input) sent by the user. Camera specification, ambiance lighting condition, and proper position of students while taking photo is exclusively required. The server and the mobile part can only run together if Wireless Fidelity is on, otherwise, monitoring will not be executed.
As a developmental research, this study used the Agile Model based on System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) intended for building a project that can adapt to change requests quickly. The MBAMSUFTT was evaluated based on the ISO/IEC 25010; MBAMSUFTT’s software quality characteristics by the IT experts, and its functionality, performance efficiency, and usability by the teachers. The analysis of the data revealed that the MBAMSUFTT serves its intended purpose in checking and monitoring students’ attendance per subject area with more accurate and reliable attendance results and has also met the ISO software quality standards.
Registration of new students’ academic information is essential for every educational institute to continue their education at every semester level and go through their whole student life. And this registration information is used when they do their form fill up of consecutive semesters. Nowadays, almost all educational institutes are using paper based registration and form fill up systems which is prone to many human errors and very time consuming for both students, teachers as well as other related administrative bodies. In this paper, we developed a web based application for academic purposes to control and save student registration and form fill up data that will be helpful for students, teachers and admin authority to make the process easier, less time consuming and error free. There are four main types of users who can use this system: student, department authority, students’ hall authority and administrator. The student can submit their registration and form fill up information by using a web form. Moreover, he/she can download their admit card and registration form after the approval of the concerned authority. The students also can be able to do other module activities. The hall and department authority can use the system to approve the students' registration, semester examination form and to provide the students' attendance data. In addition, the department and hall authority has a choice to see all students’ academic information. Moreover, the system administrator controls the system by managing (add, delete, update) student, hall and department authority, exam or registration date, subjects of a particular semester, notice board of the institute, module and programme data. The administrator can also add and remove the running and passed student data. The students also can pay their semester fees by using an online banking system.

Ontology is a data modeling technique for structured data repository premised on collection of concepts with their semantic relationships and constraints on domain. There are existing methodologies to aid ontology development process. However, there is no single correct ontology design methodology. Therefore, this paper aims to present a review on existing ontology development approaches for different domains with the goal of identifying individual methodology’s weakness and suggests for hybridization in order to strengthen ontology development in terms of its content and constructions correctness. The analysis and comparison of the review were carried out by considering these criteria but not limited to: activities of each method, the initial domain of the methodology, ontology created from scratch or reuse, frequently used ontology management tools based on literature, subject granularity, and usage across different platforms. This review based on the literature showed some approaches that exhibit the required principles of ontology engineering in tandem with software development principles. Nonetheless, the review still noted some gaps among the methodologies that when bridged or hybridized a better correctness of ontology development would be achieved in building intelligent system.
