Now a day's software is the baseline for the success of any organization. There is a huge demand of quality software in the customer-oriented market. Regression testing makes it possible but it’s a costly affair. Regression test suite minimization is way to reduce this cost but it is NP hard problem. This paper proposes an effective approach for regression test suite minimization using Artificial Ecosystem Optimization algorithm. To improve its performance a modified Artificial Ecosystem Optimization algorithm is proposed for Test case minimization. To evaluate the performance of proposed approach experiment is conducted in controlled parameter setting on open-source subject program from SIR repository. The results are collected and analyzed in comparison to existing approaches using statistical test. The test results reflect the superiority of proposed approach.

The article presents the results of studies on the development of new statistical and econometric approaches to modeling budget policy. The obtained results are applied on the example of tax revenue modeling. Accounting for various factors, including through the use of mathematical methods, will allow you to plan reforms with a scientific position. In particular, this is especially true in connection with the introduction of multi-year budget planning. To identify the main threats to the tax base, the phenomenon of “tax passes” wasused, which is based on an assessment of the effectiveness of a tax credit. The main participants in the formation of the “gross gap” in the value added tax revenues in Ukraine are shown. A correlation and regression analysis of the natural logarithms of the gross domestic product and tax revenues is carried out. This allowed us to determine the elasticity of tax revenues and GDP in Ukraine. A change in GDP directly affects the amount of tax payments to the budget, and the rate of change of indicators is proportional and changes insignificantly. These results allow us to strategically model the reform of discretionary tax policy mechanisms based on a quantitative assessment of tax gaps and the elasticity of tax payments. The authors were able to substantiate some proposals for reforming the budget policy regarding tax revenues.

In many significant characteristics of the modern world, including particular industry, agriculture, and military applications, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have begun to emerge. Even though energy consumption is the greatest challenge confronting WSNs, it is essential to analyse the feasibility of the use of mobile components for the data collection on WSN networks. To collect information from their sensing terrain, WSNs use significant numbers of wireless sensor nodes. The method of acquiring data from the sensor nodes and forwarding this data to the node or base station is Data Collection (DC). In such methods, data collection is effective and efficient in data transfer for an extended WSN lifetime. The scientific and investigational analysis demonstrated that Routing Path Selection-DC has the robustness and low energy, is required to reduce the mobile sink's energy demand, which provides better results, and is adaptable dynamically to multiple situations, including the variance between the ground robot and the cost of energy. The research paper developed an approach that creates a data collection schedule that is collision-free where appropriate power limits are allocated and verifies its overall performance of virtual environment network latency.

In recent years, Blockchain technology has been recognized as one of the most important new technologies affecting businesses and society, with a very bright future ahead. This technology is known as one of the most critical technologies of industry 4. Given that Blockchain technology is a new concept, before implementing it, the organization must understand it and be prepared to accept it; otherwise, the organization will incur irreparable damages. The main purpose of this study is to provide a framework within which organizations can evaluate their readiness to implement Blockchain technology. For this purpose, after a library study and systematic literature review, this study provided the initial research framework using the meta-synthesis method. Finally, the Lawshe model was applied to validate the proposed framework for the organization's readiness to implement Blockchain technology. Based on the findings, the final established framework included seven main dimensions, including Blockchain-based business strategy, operations of a distributed system, culture, people in Blockchain decentralized network, decentralized governance, technology, and Blockchain-based product traceability. Besides, 37 main criteria affected these dimensions, which can help companies increase the level of Blockchain technology readiness. Finally, this framework was used to measure the readiness of an airline company. According to the results of the analysis, Blockchain-based business strategy, culture, and Blockchain-based product traceability showed a medium level of readiness. Moreover, none of the main dimensions of Blockchain technology readiness were sufficiently prepared in this case study. This paper suggests practical recommendations to improve the level of Blockchain technology readiness for the managers

The Moroccan education system has undergone several reforms in recent years, thus concluded by the strategic vision, especially project 9 which has valued the continuing training of educational actors and framework law 51-17 in articles 34 and 35 which valued the continuous development of skills of teachers in Morocco, In this perspective the Ministry of National Education has reserved significant budgets to operationalize the continuing training of teachers on the one hand and it is committed to a Moroccan-American partnership within the framework of the Millennium project Challenge Account-Morocco. By committing to the establishment-challenge project, the ministry has set up a set of priorities, in particular the operationalization of the digital strategy for schools declared by decree 2.20.474, thus benefiting from the contribution of digital and while trying to overcome some constraints related to face-to-face training, a new regime that is continuous online training is implemented, it is the e-takwine platform. In addition, given the interest that evaluation represents for maintaining and improving the quality of a digital training device, we opted in this research, by evaluating the technopedagogical modality of e-takwine reserved at the start of the continuing training of novice teachers in Morocco and then developed for the training of all second cycle teachers from the start of the 2021-2022 school year. The sampling of our research is represented by 362 professors from the region of Fés –Meknes belonging to two different teaching cycles, and who followed their training for three months in six training modules in a more or less assiduous manner, Similarly, to conduct our survey, we administered two online questionnaires to participating teachers, in order to judge the functionality and ergonomics of the platform being researched. Finally, confirming to us that despite the satisfaction of the majority of participants with respect to the functional quality and the contribution of the device, some difficulties were noted at the levels: technical (compatibility, accessibility), functional or even with regard to technological knowledge.

From the recent literature review, it is evident that existing agile methodology lacks the method to evaluate the requirement understanding of agile team members for a given set of requirement chosen for agile software development. Hence, there is a need to introduce a requirement understanding check to ensure every agile team member follows the given requirement clearly without any ambiguity. To fill this existing gap, this research paper proposes to extend the usage of story cards to evaluate the understanding of the given requirement and to highlight any challenges and risks in the early stage of requirement understanding under agile software development methodology, if any. This paper primarily focuses to introduce a robust requirement understanding evaluation process in agile methodology. The research results were found to be motivating and were analyzed by comparing the data-points using time-series for performing agile query analysis, agile team velocity analysis and agile team involvement analysis for two agile teams where one team delivered the sprint output using agile traditional method while another team opted for proposed approach. A considerable decrease of 33.07% was observed in the number of queried raised and a significant increase of 26.36% in agile velocity was observed for agile sprint under proposed approach when compared to agile traditional approach. Also, a significant shift from 40%-80% team involvement under traditional agile method was uplifted to 80%-90% team involvement under proposed approach.

In order to achieve the sensing, communication and processing tasks of Wireless Sensor Networks, an energy-efficient routing protocol is required to manage the dissipated energy of the network and to minimalize the traffic and the overhead during the data transmission stages. Clustering is the most common technique to balance energy consumption amongst all sensor nodes throughout the network. In this paper, a multi-objective bio-inspired algorithm based on the Firefly and the Shuffled frog-leaping algorithms is presented as a clustering-based routing protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks. The multi-objective fitness function of the proposed algorithm has been performed on different criteria such as residual energy of nodes, inter-cluster distances, cluster head distances to the sink and overlaps of clusters, to select the proper cluster heads at each round. The parameters of the proposed approach in the clustering phase can be adaptively tuned to achieve the best performance based on the network requirements. Simulation outcomes have displayed average lifetime improvements of up to 33.95%, 32.62%, 12.1%, 13.85% compared with LEACH, ERA, SIF and FSFLA respectively, in different network scenarios.

LoRaWAN is one of the new and updated standards for IoT applications. However, the expected high density of peripheral devices for each gateway, and the absence of an operative synchronization mechanism between the gateway and peripherals, all of which challenges the networks scalability. In this paper, we propose to normalize the communication of LoRaWAN networks using a Reservation-ALOHA (R-ALOHA) instead of the standard ALOHA approach used by LoRa. The implementation is a library package placed on top of the standard LoRaWAN; thus, no modification in pre-existing LoRaWAN structure and libraries is required. Our proposed approach is based on a distributed synchronization service that is suitable for low-cost IoT end-nodes. R-ALOHA LoRaWAN gives better performance in comparison with the previous models; Pure-ALOHA LoRaWAN, Slotted-ALOHA LoRaWAN, and TDMA LoRaWAN. It significantly improves the performance of network regarding the probability of collision, the maximum throughput, and the maximum duty cycle.
