| High-Performance Carbon Cycle Supply Data Sharing Method Based on Blockchain Multichain Technology | Author : Yuanjun Liu, Lin Zhang, Ashim Khadka | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :In the evolution of blockchain technology, the traditional single-chain structure has faced significant challenges, including low throughput, high latency, and limited scalability. This paper focuses on leveraging multichain sharding technology to overcome these constraints and introduces a high-performance carbon cycle supply data sharing method based on a blockchain multichain framework. The aim is to address the difficulties encountered in traditional carbon data processing. The proposed method involves partitioning a consortium chain into multiple subchains and constructing a unique “child/parent” chain architecture, enabling cross-chain data access and significantly increasing throughput. Furthermore, the scheme enhances the security and processing capacity of subchains by dynamically increasing the number of validator broadcasting nodes and implementing parallel node operations within subchains. This approach effectively solves the problems of low throughput in single-chain blockchain networks and the challenges of cross-chain data sharing, realizing more efficient and scalable blockchain applications.

| Decision Support System for Mobile Phone Selection Utilizing Fuzzy Hypersoft Sets and Machine Learning | Author : Muhammad Tahir Hamid, Muhammad Abid | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :In the dynamic landscape of mobile technology, where a myriad of options burgeons, compounded by fluctuating features, diverse price points, and a plethora of specifications, the task of selecting the optimum mobile phone becomes formidable for consumers. This complexity is further exacerbated by the intrinsic ambiguity and uncertainty characterizing consumer preferences. Addressed herein is the deployment of fuzzy hypersoft sets (FHSS) in conjunction with machine learning techniques to forge a decision support system (DSS) that refines the mobile phone selection process. The proposed framework harnesses the synergy between FHSS and machine learning to navigate the multifaceted nature of consumer choices and the attributes of the available alternatives, thereby offering a structured approach aimed at maximizing consumer satisfaction while accommodating various determinants. The integration of FHSS is pivotal in managing the inherent ambiguity and uncertainty of consumer preferences, providing a comprehensive decision-making apparatus amidst a plethora of choices. The elucidation of this study encompasses an easy-to-navigate framework, buttressed by sophisticated Python codes and algorithms, to ameliorate the selection process. This methodology engenders a personalized and engaging avenue for mobile phone selection in an ever-evolving technological epoch. The fidelity to professional terminologies and their consistent application throughout this discourse, as well as in subsequent sections of the study, underscores the meticulous approach adopted to ensure clarity and precision. This study contributes to the extant literature by offering a novel framework that melds the principles of fuzzy set (FS) theory with advanced computational techniques, thereby facilitating a nuanced decision-making process in the realm of mobile phone selection.

| A Novel Approach for Systematic Literature Reviews Using Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis | Author : Vilmar Steffen, Maiquiel Schmidt de Oliveira, Flavio Trojan | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :This study investigates the application of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods to the classification of research papers within a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Distinctions are drawn between compensatory and non-compensatory MCDA approaches, which, despite their distinctiveness, have often been applied interchangeably, leading to a need for clarification in their usage. To address this, the methods of Entropy Weight Method (EWM), Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) were utilized to determine the parameters for ranking papers within an SLR portfolio. The source of this ranking comprised publications from three major databases: Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science. From an initial yield of 267 articles, a final portfolio of 90 articles was established, highlighting not only the compensatory and non-compensatory classifications but also identifying methods that incorporate features of both. This nuanced categorization reveals the complexity and necessity of selecting an appropriate MCDA method based on the dataset characteristics, which may exhibit attributes of both approaches. The analysis further illuminated the geographical distribution of publications, leading contributors, thematic areas, and the prevalence of specific MCDA methods. This study underscores the importance of methodological precision in the application of MCDA to systematic reviews, providing a refined framework for evaluating academic literature.
