Abstract The EU’s Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) imposes requirements for the privacy compliance of AI systems. AI systems must comply with privacy laws such as the GDPR when providing services. These laws provide users with the right to issue a Data Subject Access Request (DSAR). Responding to such requests requires database administrators to identify information related to an individual accurately. However, manual compliance poses significant challenges and is error-prone. Database administrators need to write queries through time-consuming labor. The demand for large amounts of data by AI systems has driven the development of NoSQL databases.… More >

Abstract This paper presents an extended sequential element rejection and admission (SERA) topology optimization method with a region partitioning strategy. Based on the partitioning of a design domain into solid regions and weak regions, the proposed optimization method sequentially implements finite element analysis (FEA) in these regions. After standard FEA in the solid regions, the boundary displacement of the weak regions is constrained using the numerical solution of the solid regions as Dirichlet boundary conditions. This treatment can alleviate the negative effect of the material interpolation model of the topology optimization method in the weak regions, More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract A smooth bidirectional evolutionary structural optimization (SBESO), as a bidirectional version of SESO is proposed to solve the topological optimization of vibrating continuum structures for natural frequencies and dynamic compliance under the transient load. A weighted function is introduced to regulate the mass and stiffness matrix of an element, which has the inefficient element gradually removed from the design domain as if it were undergoing damage. Aiming at maximizing the natural frequency of a structure, the frequency optimization formulation is proposed using the SBESO technique. The effects of various weight functions including constant, linear and More >

Abstract Regulatory authorities create a lot of legislation that must be followed. These create complex compliance requirements and time-consuming processes to find regulatory non-compliance. While the regulations establish rules in the relevant areas, recommendations and best practices for compliance are not generally mentioned. Best practices are often used to find a solution to this problem. There are numerous governance, management, and security frameworks in Information Technology (IT) area to guide businesses to run their processes at a much more mature level. Best practice maps can used to map another best practice, and users can adapt themselves… More >

Abstract The Internet of things (IoT) became quickly one of the most popular and most discussed topics in research. Studies paid attention to the Internet stuff, primarily to new products that aim to achieve greater efficiency and simplicity in life. IoT may cover several fields of the smart environment. Because of the data exposure that occurs when data is transferred via various channels, data protection issues have become a major problem as the company continues to expand. When user privacy and property are taken into consideration, the situation may become much worse. As a result, the… More >

Abstract This study investigates structural topology optimization of thermoelastic structures considering two kinds of objectives of minimum structural compliance and elastic strain energy with a specified available volume constraint. To explicitly express the configuration evolution in the structural topology optimization under combination of mechanical and thermal load conditions, the moving morphable components (MMC) framework is adopted. Based on the characteristics of the MMC framework, the number of design variables can be reduced substantially. Corresponding optimization formulation in the MMC topology optimization framework and numerical solution procedures are developed for several numerical examples. Different optimization results are More >

Abstract Building regulations used in the architecture, engineering, and construction sectors are legal documents prepared under the control of local authorities for use by individuals. These regulations determine the conditions for ensuring performance and quality throughout the entire construction process. The building regulation inspection process conducted with the traditional manual method is time-consuming and error-prone for architects, engineers, and local authorities. It is known that most of these inspections are carried out with municipalities by local authorities. The mutual interview study and literature review shows that there is no standard rule for the legal auditing process… More >

Abstract The digital revolution impacts modern workplaces through constant advances in technology. This study uses a digital start-up project experience to demonstrate how a Digital Government Transformation can be beneficial. The increase of administrative requirements, compliance, and capability readiness has prompted the development of the Digital start–up project known as the CARM Tool (Compliance, Assurance and Risk Management). CARM introduces a low risk low cost and high productivity solution, which can directly and immediately benefit stakeholders in a large complex government enterprise. It aims to elevate staff performance, customer service and provide qualification between financial statements, asset management More >

Abstract The Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act 2002 resulted from the mounting accounting and corporate scandals in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Since the passage of the SOX Act, companies are facing even greater challenges to meet raised expectations to provide accurate, visible, and timely information for SOX compliance. This research puts forth a systems design framework to achieve a real time, accurate, consistently traceable and easily verifiable SOX compliant technology. Our multidisciplinary and integrative systems design incorporates Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) to ensure effective business performance within a knowledge represented company modeled as Enveloped Activity Based More >
