Abstract Nowadays, the information and communication technology has changed the way people, organizations and governments work and has transformed the functions of economic interactions. Despite the fact that information technology has assumed important roles as a fundamental tool for creating value in smart economic interactions, but Currently, Iran is facing many infrastructural problems and many efforts have been made to solve these problems and achieve ideals. This research was written with the aim of investigating the functions of information technology in smart economic systems and related interactions in Iran and the challenges ahead. The present research was compiled by the researcher in a library and note-taking manner. At the end, the findings of the research are summarized and solutions are suggested to overcome the current situation. The findings of the research show that in order to face the challenges examined in the research, it is necessary to develop the necessary infrastructure, support government institutions, create culture, hold training courses and create the necessary legal and business platforms in this area.

Abstract Nowadays, due to the large amount of information and the need of rapid processing, the need for computers with up-to-date and efficient operating systems with high processing power is felt. During the last decades, progress in the field of information technology has made available fast distribution systems. Distributed systems are one of the best solutions to achieve the above goal. By placing computer systems on the platform of the distribution network, it is possible to create a high processing power, whose complexity and organization are hidden from the eyes of users and in addition, it brings us the availability of resources and scalability. Securing the core of distributed operating systems is a necessity that can help improve the security of information technology in distributed network environments. In order to fundamentally implement this process, it is necessary to create an expert security team. Also, in addition to the technical review and the implementation of protection settings and access controls, there is a need to develop new methods and tools to study the sequence of certain or possible protection operations in the core of distributed operating systems. In this article, we are going to examine the security aspects in the core of distributed operating systems.

Abstract Blockchain is a revolution in the field of information and communication technology, which was able to create outstanding developments in technology and the daily life of users and affect the internet payment process, by its benefits and applications. Investing in digital currencies has always been associated with a lot of risk due to the fact that their use is separate from the real world. Recently, this risk was largely covered by smart contracts. But the reality is that a smart contract without the use of strong information management systems like Oracle is often worthless. For the global adoption of blockchains, a reliable mechanism that facilitates communication between smart contracts and the outside world is critical. Without blockchain-based oracles, smart contracts are forced to rely solely on in-network information, which significantly limits their capabilities. Decentralized oracles have the potential to create security mechanisms that remove many systemic risks from the blockchain ecosystem. Blockchain oracles are one of the most important elements that make up the blocks, which operate with a safe, reliable function and without the need for mutual trust, to improve the blockchain ecosystem. In this article, we examined the application of Oracle architecture in the management of data structures in the field of blockchain.

Abstract Today, the growth of technologies in the field of information and communication technology has caused a sharp increase in the commercial competition of organizations and has opened doors to global markets. With their presence in knowledge-based technology bases and the development of their presence on the web, companies have been able to place themselves beyond or at the same level as their competitors. There are several components and reasons that prove why having a virtual collection on the web is becoming a more important and valuable tool for reaching global markets day by day. In this regard, electronic marketing is the approach of using information and programs that are used to plan and implement the concepts, distribution, promotion and pricing of goods and services, and it leads to transactions that provide individual and organizational goals effectively and purposefully. Nowadays, electronic marketing has become a strategic requirement, apart from being an option. Due to the necessity of investigating this issue, in this article, we discuss the process, milestones, achievements and opportunities in the field of electronic marketing.

Abstract Basically, the foundation of every scientific society is based on research and research is actually the driver of progress and sustainable development of today's information-oriented societies. Statistical researches are generally carried out in two ways: quantitative and qualitative. Knowing the types of research methods and the characteristics of each of them, as well as understanding the difference between quantitative research and qualitative research, helps the researcher to choose the right and appropriate research method. Qualitative research is a research that is based on non-numerical and experimental, physical and exploratory analyzes to understand concepts, opinions, thoughts and experiences in a completely natural and real context. Qualitative researches use different software infrastructures to analyze information. Understanding these software infrastructures leads to greater success and development of research achievements. According to the necessity of the research, in this article we examine the most important software infrastructures in qualitative analysis research.

Abstract Artificial intelligence is a branch of the science of producing and studying machines that aim to stimulate human intelligence processes. The main goal of artificial intelligence is to optimize routine processes, improve their speed and efficiency. As a result, the number of functions and services that use artificial intelligence continues to increase worldwide. Today, artificial intelligence has entered the field of education and training and is rapidly replacing traditional methods with modern methods. In this article, we discuss the functions of artificial intelligence in the field of education and electronic knowledge transfer. Considering the increasing development of virtual education in today's world, artificial intelligence can play an effective role in the field of education and electronic knowledge transfer. Artificial intelligence as a powerful tool can be used to improve the quality of education, reduce costs and increase the speed of education. This technology allows students and teachers to provide the best solutions to improve the quality of teaching and learning through intelligent and data-based systems. With the use of artificial intelligence, virtual education can become an effective and affordable method. In general conclusion, it can be said that this technology is very useful in all stages of education, including lesson planning and design, content presentation, exercises and evaluation, and it will soon become an integral part of education.
