Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) is an international model for mapping and classifying underground surfaces according to their accuracy (acquisition method). Utilizing Geographic Information System (GIS) to map and present the SUE levels paved the way for producing a new Decision Support System (DSS) for the utility mapping process. The proposed system represents an efficient tool…

Organizations make use of different tools and methods to test and evaluate software, for quality and appropriateness purposes. However, many organizations are unable to perform multiple testing activities (manual, automation and performance testing), using a single tool. As a result of limitation of some tools, some organizations are hampered in their attempt to test software,…

Assessing academic performance is a common way of evaluating and assessing the abilities of students in tertiary institutions. Usually it is practically performed based on the cumulative grade point average (GPA) at the end of each semester passed. Unwittingly there are many factors that are able to influence student performance results apart from GPA as…

For marketing company, determining the best marketing is a strategic decision. It is able to affect the companys future purposefully. The study conducted to propose a novel decision support model (DSM) for determining the best marketer. Seventeen parameters were considered into model and two methods fuzzy logic and profile-matching (PM) were combined as main method…

Nowadays, as the Information and Technology rapidly growing all across the world, Indonesia as one of many developed countries always tries to keep up relating to this trend. Regarding to this situation, the use of Information and Technology in various fields are greatly enhanced, and not to mention businesses. There are a lot of businesses…

The problem of multi-criteria or multi-objective intercropping crop planning makes it vital to consider all related factors under the constraints that will produce the highest revenue and minimum cost. Principles of intercropping elements including soil type, plant area, plant diseases, planting and harvesting time and economics factors (e.g. price, cost) are some of the factors…

Precision agriculture in recent times had assumed a different dimension in order to improve on the poor standard of agriculture. Similarly, the upsurge in technological advancement, most especially in the aspect of machine learning and artificial intelligence, is a promising trend towards a positive solution to this problem. Therefore, this research work presents a decision…

A Decision-Making Centers (DMCs) Environment facilitates stakeholders’ decision-making processes using predictive models and diverse what-if scenarios. An essential element of this environment is the management of Decision Support Components (e.g., models or systems) that need to be created with mature methodologies and good delivery time. However, there has been a gap in the understanding of…

Firewalls are controlled by rules which often incur anomalies. The anomalies are considered serious problems that administrators do not desire to happen over their firewalls because they cause more vulnerabilities and decrease the overall performance of the firewall. Resolving anomaly rules that have already occurred on the firewall is difficult and mainly depends on the…

Advances in Internet of Things (IoT) and wireless technologies are revolutionizing various sectors, including environment, education, healthcare, industry, etc. In the same dynamic, as the world population constantly evolves, solutions based on such technologies need to be proposed to improve the agricultural sector. Senegalese agriculture, primarily rain-fed and based on both cash crops and subsistence…

Portuguese organizations that have invoicing software, certified by the Tax and Customs Authority, need to comply with technical requirements that involve business continuity and disaster recovery. The recent tax legislative changes created conditions for the dematerialization of documents, allowing waiving invoice printing, encouraging the adoption of an electronic invoicing and document archiving system. The pandemic…

The dog is one of the first animals domesticated by human, and for thousands of years, it has been artificially bred into hundreds of types in order to provide certain traits that humans want. Nowadays, the selection of dogs by potential adopters has become a problem due to the availability of different type of breeds…

The decision support systems regarding the Supply Chains (SCs) management services can be significantly improved if an effective viable method is utilised. This paper presents a robust simulation optimisation approach (SOA) for the design and analysis of a granularity controlled and complex system known as Consumer Supply Network (CSN) incorporating uncertain demand and capacity. Minimising…

The paper explores an issue of efficient public transportation network design as a part of the urban developing process. Having data about everyday residents travelling inside of an urban area, we can consider this data as people’s requirements for the public transport system. We propose a novel method for initial public transportation network design based…

This article enhances discussions on Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) and prompt engineering by exploring critical pitfalls and industry-specific advantages. It begins with a foundational overview of AI evolution, emphasizing how generative models such as GANs, VAEs, and Transformers have revolutionized language processing, image generation, and drug discovery. Prompt engineering is highlighted as a key methodology…

Brain tumors are a type of tumor with a high mortality rate. Since multifocal-looking tumors in the brain can resemble multicentric gliomas or gliomatosis, accurate detection of the tumor is required during the treatment process. The similarity of neurological and radiological findings also complicates the classification of these tumors. Fast and accurate classification is important…
