This study aims to evaluate the acceptance of augmented reality (AR) technology among Persepolis visitors. The mixed and extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model was developed via the content analysis method. The innovation resistance and the perceived fee were...

This research is mainly focused on the adoption of cloud computing in the information technology (IT) industry of a developing country, Pakistan by using the theoretical lens of technology acceptance model (TAM) and Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM). Cloud computing, being one of the latest...

The coronavirus pandemic was a global health crisis taking away millions of lives worldwide. People diseased by the virus, differ in the extent of severity of the infection. While it turns out to be fatal for some, for several others the extent of severity is as ordinary as common cold. These...

The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) has recently piqued the interest of researchers seeking to improve the efficiency and efficacy of the transportation system in distributing commodities. Many scholars have proposed using a heterogeneous fleet in vehicle routing to minimize distribution costs...

Analyses in the past decade and more recently, catastrophic events, including extreme temperatures, unpredictable weather patterns, floods, and wildfires caused by climate change, have become too common worldwide. There is overwhelming evidence that country commitments expressed in National...

In this work investigate the use of stochastic hybrid models, statistical model checking and machine learning to analyze, predict and control the rapid spreading of Covid-19. During the pandemic numerous studies using stochastic models have been produced. Most of these studies are used to...

The recent pandemic has been the greatest catastrophic event in the last century that has left its irrevocable effect on the socio-economic and cultural environment. The current work presents a combined multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) framework of logarithmic percentage-change driven...

The flower pollination algorithm (FPA) is a nature-inspired optimization algorithm that mimics the pollination behaviour of flowering plants. Despite the promising performance of FPA in solving single objective optimization problems, its convergence still poses challenges in practice. This study...

The number of people using the Internet of Things (IoT) devices has exploded in recent years. The instantaneous development in deploying constrained devices in numerous areas makes them vulnerable to assaults due to limited resources. Advanced cryptography cannot be constructed in these modest...
