Applying the Internet of Things Toward Smart Business Services

Pages 1-7

Fatemeh Erfanimoghadam, Saed Gholami

Abstract Nowadays, modern technologies provide a certain level of digitalization of business processes. Due to the influence of information and communication technology in all areas of social life and business processes, it is possible to implement production decisions based on the needs and requirements of the customer. This trend is mainly due to advances in information and communication technology and the Internet. Thanks to the Internet and a phenomenon called the Internet of Things (IOT), higher profits and improved quality of life in society can be achieved. This article discusses the use of internet of things solutions to streamline smart business services and equip services to support management decisions in smart businesses. The main purpose of this article is to evaluate the increasing progress of this technology that is affecting the whole world now, so IoT can not be talked about as a topic in the future. The main findings of the article can be summarized through the statement that, in the near future, all businesses will try to implement the concept of the Internet of Things in their processes and thus become smart businesses. Thanks to the Internet of Things, businesses can intelligently and quickly process data and distribute results to those responsible for making decisions in the smart organization.

A Review on the History, Attitude and Architecture of the Cloud Computing

A Review on the History, Attitude and Architecture of the Cloud Computing

Alireza Mousavi, Majid Hoseinpoor

Abstract Cloud computing systems, which provide IT-related capabilities as Internet services to multiple customers, make the payment model based on the use of computing services provided to users through distribution networks. In cloud computing, a set of interconnected virtual computers is considered as one or more integrated computing resources, based on service level agreements and these agreements are established during the negotiations between service providers and consumers. Cloud computing seeks to enable a new generation of data centers by providing services in dynamic networked virtual machines, so that users can access applications from anywhere in the world. Cloud computing is revolutionizing the IT industry because of its efficiency, availability, low cost and other benefits. Today, many technology-based web service providers are moving towards adopting this technology and applying cloud computing approaches, which will lead to a significant increase in the use of various cloud services. Although much progress has been made in the field of cloud computing, many of the challenges in this area are still not well understood. This article examines cloud computing in terms of historical evolution, basic concepts, technology, reference architecture and various challenges.

Abstract Security is one of the biggest chalenge in the world of information and communication technology and distributed network services. security is a set of policies, surveys, methods, and technologies that work together to protect distributed network services, systems, data and information. In modern network environments, resources stored on cloud servers are transmitted to users over the network in the form of data streams. Although this new technology offers many benefits to users and organizations, it also faces important barriers such as security and privacy, which are among the most important challenges in this area. Given the real-time and ubiquitous needs of distributed services, how to design a low-risk transfer model to ensure service security becomes a key issue. Due to the importance of this issue, to address such security threats and threats in the field of distributed services, various security solutions have been proposed by researchers so far. In order to deeply understand the dimensions of the issue, this article examines solutions to control secure access in distribution network services.

Software Quality Engineering Approach and Dimensions

Software Quality Engineering Approach and Dimensions

Pages 21-27

Erfan Nazari, Alireza Mohammadzadeh

Abstract Software quality engineering is the process of conducting quality reviews throughout the software product life cycle. This activity plays a key role in ensuring the production of high quality software by agile teams at high speed. When software quality engineering is integrated into the workflow, it can improve agility, productivity and return on investment. Quality engineering is a process that applies rigorous quality assessments to every stage of product development. This process is done through the analysis, development, management and maintenance of quality assurance protocols and often continues after product delivery. The purpose of this process is to ensure the quality of the software product from the beginning and to minimize potential losses due to defects. In traditional systems, however, quality is only checked in the final stages of production. In comparison, traditional methods are inefficient and can lead to additional costs and labor. To ensure quality throughout the software product life cycle, you must follow the basic steps and standard and key methods of software quality engineering. In this article, we intend to examine the dimensions of this issue and the basic steps and key solutions for software quality engineering.

Integrated Approach of Software Configuration Management

Integrated Approach of Software Configuration Management

Nafiseh Fareghzadeh

Abstract Configuration management is one of the fundamentals of the software project management, which provides a self control and synchronization center for project managers. Because through configuration management, the project manager can access processes and change history of the project. Control of software evolution process in order to use the valid and tested software items in the final version can be considered as the main domain of software configuration management. In this regard, software configuration management should be able to provide solutions for tasks such as software configuration item detection, software version control, software development and development management and so on. While SCM helps manage the evolution of software products and their documentation, traceability helps manage knowledge about the process of developing software products. In fact, in this article we intend to provide an integrated perspective for managing software configuration. We propose the integration of traceability and SCM to help integrate configuration management during the development and evolution of software products. This model demonstrates the elements of knowledge that are essential for the comprehensive management of tracked changes in SCM tool change management performance. This approach can lead to the organization of existing solutions in a parametric manner that increases the reuability of the software resources.
