Abstract

This article aims to present formal governance practices of information technology adapted to the general context of Moroccan universities. The study consists of two main phases: the conceptualization phase and the operationalization phase. During the conceptualization phase, the authors reviewed relevant literature on best practices and their associated frameworks in higher education institutions (HEIs). The results revealed that universities had varying levels of maturity in terms of good practices and often used multiple information system frameworks, which can cause organizational and technical problems. In order to find a solution to this situation, the authors conducted in-depth interviews with chief information officers (CIOs) and university officials from four Moroccan universities during the operationalization phase. These interviews enabled them to propose an effective baseline of best practices and an algorithmic approach to assist managers in choosing between two combinations of frameworks that cover all the mechanisms of the baseline. This solution would enable optimal, agile, and easy-to-implement information technology governance in Moroccan universities while avoiding the multiplicity of frameworks.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence is the current trend in the world, which has taken the opportunity to advance in all its fields, particularly in scientific research. In materials engineering, the results obtained from classic methods such as experimentation, homogenization methods, or finite element methods have become input and validation elements for intelligent models to obtain more effective results in an optimal time frame. In this article, we discuss the use of artificial neural networks to determine the mechanical properties of biocomposites, which are the subject of much research due to the advantages they represent. The properties of these complex materials depend on various parameters, such as the behavior of the constituent materials, the percentage of the mixture, and the manufacturing process. In this work, our goal is to predict how polypropylene behaves elastically when reinforced with 15% various natural fillers. and we will study the impact of bamboo on polypropylene to test and validate our model. By exploiting the results of the Mori-Tanaka model, we were able to generate our dataset, with which we feed our feedforward backpropagation neural network and demonstrate that our biocomposite gained in terms of stiffness, marked by an increase in Young's modulus to 550.3 MPa, with better performance validation and a very good regression coefficient.

Abstract

With the decreasing cost of traffic cameras and rapid advancement in computer vision and artificial intelligence, developing robust traffic surveillance systems has become more feasible and practical. These systems can easily outperform traditional human monitoring systems, as they can collect and analyze traffic data coming from multiple cameras efficiently. A good understanding of this data allows the detection easily road anomalies in real time and in an autonomous way. Therefore, an intelligent traffic system typically consists of three components: object detection, object tracking, and behavior analysis components. In this paper, we present a review of some of the well-known object detection techniques used in traffic video surveillance. The review begins with a brief introduction to the history of object detection and the evolution of its techniques. Then we review separately the two main approaches of detection, which are traditional and deep learning approaches of detection. Finally, an experimental analysis has been conducted to evaluate and compare the performance of some of the recent relevant detection methods in terms of speed and precision, in detecting vehicles in a traffic scenario.

Abstract

Efficient wind farm development necessitates careful planning of wind turbine placement. The primary aim of this optimization process is to strategically position turbines to minimize the wake effect. The ongoing study seeks to standardize wake losses across all turbines in the wind farm through the adoption of a novel diagonal layout. To achieve this objective, an objective function has been devised and employed by a genetic algorithm, aiming to maximize the energy production of the farm while avoiding the concentration of wake on specific turbines. This methodology was applied to the Gasiri wind farm using simulation. The results of the optimization show great promise, indicating a potential energy increase of 17% following the implementation of the optimized layout. Furthermore, the study highlights that the new turbine placements, characterized by higher nominal power, are more favorably aligned forward, in accordance with the wind direction, compared to their original positions. Additionally, a substantial reduction in the mechanical fatigue of the turbine blades was noted.

Abstract

The primary aim of higher education institutions is the successful graduation of their students. This study explores open-access higher education in Morocco, introducing a predictive model for assessing the probability of students achieving a science bachelor's degree. We analyzed data from 2012 to 2022, initially encompassing 45,573 student entries, and narrowed it down to 14,054 records after data cleaning. Focusing on early academic indicators from enrollment onwards-excluding current program performance—we used popular machine learning classifiers to examine the predictive capacity for student graduation and early dropout. Our comparison included analyses with and without re-enrollment data. Upon analyzing various machine learning algorithms, we attained accuracies between 79% and 86%, identifying random forest (RF) as the superior model for predicting outcomes both with and without incorporating re-enrollment data. This analysis was grounded on initial indicators observed during enrollment and throughout subsequent years, deliberately excluding current academic performance metrics from consideration.

Abstract

Automating robotic deburring in the automotive sector demands extreme precision in contour detection, particularly for complex components like wheel rims. This article presents the application of the U-Net architecture, a deep learning technique, for the precise segmentation of the outer contour of wheel rims. By integrating U-Net's capabilities with OpenCV, we have developed a robust system for wheel rim contour detection. This system is particularly well-suited for robotic deburring environments. Through training on a diverse dataset, the model demonstrates exceptional ability to identify wheel rim contours under various lighting and background conditions, ensuring sharp and accurate segmentation, crucial for automotive manufacturing processes. Our experiments indicate that our method surpasses conventional techniques in terms of precision and efficiency, representing a significant contribution to the incorporation of deep learning in industrial automation. Specifically, our method reduces segmentation errors and improves the efficiency of the deburring process, which is essential for maintaining quality and productivity in modern production lines.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of information technology governance (ITG) on digital transformation (DT) in Moroccan higher education institutions, particularly emphasising the mediating role of absorptive capacity. Utilising a rigorous methodological framework, the research analyzes data collected from 110 staff members using structural equation modelling with the SmartPLS tool. The goal is to explore the complex dynamics between ITG practices and DT capability. The findings reveal a positive and statistically significant relationship between ITG mechanisms and absorptive capacity (AC) and between the latter and the success of DT. The study also identifies AC as a crucial mediator between ITG and digital capability (DC). It suggests universities should strengthen their AC and adopt open policies to increase their innovative potential. This contribution enriches the existing literature by empirically confirming the influence of certain IT governance variables on DC within Moroccan universities, offering valuable insights for academic researchers and practitioners involved in IT governance strategies and DT.
