Software engineering is a field that demands extensive knowledge and involves numerous challenges in managing information. The information landscapes in software engineering encompass source code and its revision history, a set of explicit instructions for writing, commenting on and running the codes, a set of procedures and routines, and the devel...

In this study we explore the contribution of training to employee engagement for a successful ESG strategy implementation, by presenting the results of a research conducted in Greece on employees who had just attended EU funded training programs on this subject. We present their testimonies, which provide strong evidence of the positive impact of t...

p>This comprehensive analysis delves into the historical progression and important technological and contemporary advancements of computer vision inside the metaverse. The metaverse, which can be characterized as an interactive virtual reality environment that mirrors the physical world, signifies a novel domain for the utilization of computer visi...

Several studies have found that elderly people appear hesitant to join educational programs -especially those focusing on using social media platforms and smartphone apps- due to a number of barriers that discourage them from engaging with technology. This study presents older women’s views regarding the impact of such learning courses, after atten...

Employees involved in various occupational environments that include vibration machines and any kind of vehicles are adversely subjected to multiple source noise. Thus, the corresponding noise frequencies (and mainly the infrasound ones) present high interest, especially from the viewpoint of sustainability, due to the potential effects on human sa...

Several studies have found that elderly people have a difficulty in using social media platforms and smartphone apps due to a number of barriers that discourage them from engaging with technology. This study presents older women's views regarding a two-month blended (synchronous and asynchronous) learning course on using apps and social media on sm...

Social media networks are becoming increasingly popular as a means for social interaction. A number of studies have found that elderly people have a difficulty in using social media platforms while exist a number of barriers that discourage them from using technology. This chapter investigates the educational needs of older people, who are members...

Traceability has become a critical element in supply chain management, particularly in safety-sensitive sectors like food, pharmaceuticals, etc. Upstream (manufacturers, producers, etc.) and downstream (distributors, wholesalers, etc.) supply chain members need to store and handle traceability-related information for providing proof of regulatory c...

Nowadays, social media and social networks are increasingly used in business as they have drastically changed the way the community works, communicates, collaborates, socialises, creates content and shares knowledge and ideas. However, in particular, IT professionals and practitioners need to be aware of online security and privacy issues and the p...

In the period that we are living, there is a massive exchange of information, while the communication has drastically changed as more and more people using the social networks. Using this kind of technology undoubtedly leads to exposure of personal information on the part of users, enabling the use of Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) techniques in...

We are living in the era of technology and massive information exchange and social networks are very important part as they drastically changed how we communicate. The use of this technology, inevitably leads to disclosure of personal data on the part of users. Making a distinction between the medium itself (social networking platform) and how it i...

The monitoring capability of a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) constitutes an important feature making its application multidisciplinary. In a common WSN, the network handles only simple scalar data and thus it is sufficient for complex applications such as object detection, surveillance, image recognition, localization, and tracking. Therefore, in a...

Nowadays, the Wireless Sensors Network (WSN) and the Internet of Things (IOT) are widely used in providing decision support systems which solve many problems in the real-world. This paper presents IoT as the best way to solve the agricultural problems, related to seedbed resources optimization, decision making support and seed breeding monitoring....

The flooding method, which is used by many mobile ad-hoc routing protocols, is a process in which a route request packet (RREQ) is broadcasted from a source node to other nodes in the network. This often results in unnecessary re-transmissions, causing packet collisions and congestion in the network, a phenomenon called broadcast storm. This articl...

In wireless sensor networks power consumption is a crucial issue because most of the sensor nodes operate using batteries. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate four routing protocols (OLSR, AODV, DSR, DSDV) in different wireless sensor network (WSN) scales regarding the power consumption and mobility factor. In small networks with less than 10...

Ad-hoc routing protocols use a number of algorithms for route discovery. Some use flooding in which a route request packet (RREQ) is broadcasted from a source node to other nodes in the network. This often leads to unnecessary retransmissions, causing congestion and packet collisions in the network, a phenomenon called a broadcast storm. This paper...

In an energy-constrained underwater system environment it is very important to find ways to improve the life expectancy ofthe sensors. Compared to the sensors of a terrestrial Ad Hoc Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), underwater sensors cannotuse solar energy to recharge the batteries, and it is difficult to replace the batteries in the sensors. This p...

In MANETs (Mobile Ad Hoc Networks) communication at the mobile nodes can be achieved by using multihop wirelesslinks. The architecture of such network is based not on a centralized base station but on each node which acts as a router andforwards data packets to other nodes in the network. The aim of each protocol, in an ad-hoc network, is to find v...
