Paper Title :: Optimization of Video Content Delivery in Hybrid Cloud Architectures
Author Name :: Avinash Kumar
Country :: USA
Page Number :: 02-12
The article presents an analysis of architectural, network, and algorithmic factors that determine the quality of experience in hybrid cloud–edge video delivery systems, with a focus on their impact on delivery stability and QoE parameters. The study is conducted within an interdisciplinary paradigm combining distributed computing theory, network engineering, multimedia processing, and resource management in wireless networks. The methodological basis is a content analysis of peer-reviewed publications on low-latency bitrate adaptation, software-defined intercloud backbones with points of presence, GPU-accelerated encoding, and SDN control using the "Lyapunov drift-plus-penalty" function. Three interrelated groups of optimization mechanisms are identified and systematized: transport and routing (PoP-Overlay, jitter reduction, latency predictability), computational (multi-level caching, serverless GPU processing), and algorithmic (CMAF with chunked transfer, low-latency ABR strategies, content-aware scheduling). Three analytical tables are presented, including an intercontinental backbone comparison, HEVC accelerated encoding metrics, and comparative results of adaptive streaming algorithms. It is shown that the coordinated integration of transport, computational, and algorithmic solutions forms a predictable delivery loop that minimizes playback stalls and abrupt quality switches. The findings substantiate the need to design cloud–edge video systems based on QoE-oriented management models. The article will be of interest to researchers in multimedia networking, cloud and edge platform engineers, adaptive video streaming developers, and specialists in distributed architecture optimization.
Keywords: hybrid cloud–edge architecture, video content delivery, quality of experience, QoE-oriented management, low-latency bitrate adaptation, software-defined networking, points of presence, CMAF, edge caching, GPU-accelerated encoding.

Paper Title :: Application of System Identification Methods in Cost Estimating for Renewable Energy Projects
Author Name :: Hitesh Ananda
Country :: US
Page Number :: 13-18
The article presents an analysis of the applicability of system identification methods in cost estimation for renewable energy projects. The study is based on an interdisciplinary approach that combines engineering sciences, reliability theory, and applied energy economics. Particular attention is given to the comparison of Bayesian reliability models for wind turbines, predictive monitoring architectures, evolutionary algorithms for parametric identification in photovoltaics, and optimization strategies for the operation of energy storage systems. Modern methods are considered that enable the integration of technical data into financial and economic calculations, including forecasting of operating expenses, capital costs, and key investment metrics. The study identifies key interdependencies between the accuracy of engineering models and the reliability of investment forecasts, which is especially relevant under conditions of high market volatility. A comparative analysis has shown that the application of advanced algorithms reduces uncertainty in cost estimation and increases the reliability of payback calculations. Special attention is paid to the problems of data scarcity for certain technologies, the sensitivity of metaheuristic methods to noise, and the necessity of institutional support for the implementation of identification procedures in energy planning practices. The article proposes an original classification of applied models and substantiates the need for a comprehensive approach that combines engineering and economic data. This work will be useful for researchers in the field of renewable energy, cost estimation experts, design engineers, and investors focused on the development of sustainable energy strategies.
Keywords: system identification, cost estimating, renewable energy, wind power, photovoltaics, battery storage, Bayesian modeling, investment analysis.

Paper Title :: Innovative Approaches to Data Recovery after Formatting and File Deletion
Author Name :: Stanislav Yermolov
Country :: Ukraine
Page Number :: 38-43
The article presents an analytical study of contemporary, including innovative, approaches to data recovery after formatting and deletion. The relevance is determined by changing volumes of digital information and the increasing complexity of storage architectures, which requires more efficient and universal methods for data regeneration. The scientific novelty lies in proposing a hybrid model that combines the use of file system metadata with signature-based content analysis, as well as adapting algorithms to complex configurations such as RAID arrays and SSDs with an active TRIM function. The study highlights key challenges — file fragmentation and the specifics of solid-state drives. Special attention is given to methods for automatic determination of RAID array parameters and algorithms for deep scanning (deep scan). The aim of the study is to systematize advanced practices and propose an integrated approach to recovery in cases of partial or complete loss of metadata. The methodological basis includes comparative analysis, systematization, and generalization; up-to-date scientific publications and the author’s practical experience were also used. The conclusion demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid model. The material is intended for IT specialists, digital forensics experts, and software developers.

Paper Title :: Project Management and the Adoption of Artificial Intelligence Tools: Opportunities and Challenges in Manufacturing Engineering
Author Name :: Soufiane ELMOUHIB
Country :: Morocco
Page Number :: 44-52
This study explores the opportunities, challenges, and enabling conditions for adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in manufacturing engineering project management. Positioned within the Industry 4.0 context, AI applications offer transformative potential for enhancing operational efficiency, risk forecasting, and decision-making. Yet, adoption remains uneven due to technical, organizational, and ethical constraints. Drawing upon the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Technology–Organization–Environment (TOE) framework, and Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), this research adopts a qualitative, exploratory design using semi-structured interviews with project managers, engineers, and IT specialists. The findings reveal significant opportunities for process automation, real-time data analytics, and quality improvement, while highlighting challenges related to legacy system integration, workforce resistance, financial constraints, and cyber security concerns. Enablers such as leadership commitment, technological readiness, employee training, and regulatory frameworks emerge as critical for successful AI integration. The study contributes to theory by offering a holistic socio-technical perspective on AI adoption and to practice by providing actionable guidance for managers and policymakers aiming to leverage AI for competitive advantage. Future research directions include cross-sectoral comparisons and quantitative modeling to examine causal relationships between adoption enablers, barriers, and performance outcomes.

Paper Title :: A Multifunctional Intelligent Electric Wheelchair Nursing Bed
Author Name :: Ruiheng Gu || Leien Zhou || Yuxiang Zhang
Country :: China
Page Number :: 53-56
This paper presents the conceptualization and realization of a multifunctional intelligent electric wheelchair nursing bed, designed to address the limitations of existing products on the market, such as excessive size, single functionality, poor mobility, lack of toilet assistance, and insufficient leg rehabilitation training. The system integrates core functions including electric mobility, stepless adjustment of standing-sitting-lying postures, toilet assistance, and passive leg training, adopting a modular mechanical structure and intelligent control technologies (incorporating voice interaction and remote APP control). This design not only significantly improves users' life autonomy and comfort but also reduces the overall volume and manufacturing costs of the device, making it suitable for scenarios such as hospitals, nursing homes, and families. Ultimately, this work contributes to optimizing the elderly care support system and promoting the development of intelligent aging-friendly products.
