Enterprise architecture evaluation using architecture framework and UML stereotypes by Narges Shahi, Ali Haroun Abadi, Hadi abooei mehrizi

“…Each phase must be implemented sequentially and one single flaw in each phase may result in a flaw in the whole architecture and, consequently, in extra costs and time. If a model is mapped for the issue and then it is evaluated before enterprise architecture implementation in the second phase, the possible flaws in implementation process are prevented. …”

3D-printed motorcycle seats: Replicating polymer foam performance for rapid prototyping and rider comfort by Andrea Montalti, Patrich Ferretti, Fiammetta Spano, Alfredo Liverani

“…While the manufacturing of rigid or structural components is well-established and widely practiced, the production of expanded materials presents significantly greater challenges due to the final product's reliance on the specific process employed. Changing the process to lower costs necessitates reproducing the same mechanical behaviour and appearance to ensure validation in terms of both style and function. …”

Multi-dimensional secure query scheme for fog-enhanced IIoT by Yousheng ZHOU, Chang TAN, Fei TANG

“…In view of the fact that most of the existing range query schemes for fog-enhanced IoT cannot achieve both multi-dimensional query and privacy protection,a privacy-preserving multi-dimensional secure query scheme for fog-enhanced IIoT was proposed.Firstly,the multiple ranges to be queried were mapped into a certain query matrix.Then,auxiliary vectors were constructed to decompose the query matrix,and then the auxiliary vector was processed by BGN homomorphic encryption to form a query trapdoor.Finally,with the homomorphic computation utilized by an IoT device terminal,the query trapdoor could be matched to its sensor data.Spatial complexity could be effectively reduced with the used specific auxiliary vectors.The confidentiality of sensor data could be ensured and the privacy of user’s query mode could be protected by the homomorphic encryption property.Experiments results show that the computational and communication costs are relatively low.…”
