Abstract

Agile methods are widely known in different companies, including information technology (IT) companies. They appeared intending to solve the problems of traditional methods while proposing an iterative and incremental cycle. These methods consist of four values and the twelve principles agreed upon in 2001 in a Manifesto. However, each method holds singularities from which it is difficult to choose one to adopt in different project cases. The selection of the method to adopt positively or negatively affects the final product following the criteria of the project and the personnel. Project experts must research and compare methods manually to make a choice, a thing that drains time, which is a key factor in project realization. Currently, there is no intelligent system or model that allows choosing the agile method to adopt for such a project. For this purpose, artificial intelligence (AI) techniques will be used to develop a Chatbot that allows reaching the aim. This Chatbot will be developed based on a decision tree model that will be proposed from an experimental study.

Abstract

Selecting the most suitable agile software development method is a challenging task due to the variety of available methods, each with its strengths and weaknesses. To achieve project goals effectively, factors such as project needs, team size, complexity, and customer involvement should be carefully evaluated. Choosing the appropriate agile method is crucial for achieving high client satisfaction and effective team management, but it can be a challenging task for project managers and higher-level management officials.This paper presents a solution aiming to help them in selecting the most suitable software development method for their project. In this regard, this solution includes a pre-project management approach model and a decision tree that considers the unique requirements of the project. In the proposed solution results, Scrum was found to be suitable for both small and large projects, on the condition that roles and responsibilities are clearly defined and that the approach is people-centric. Furthermore, high-risk mitigation measures should be added for small projects. To facilitate the use of our model, a software application has been developed which implements the decision-making tree.

Abstract

The decoding of error-correcting codes (ECCs) is a critical aspect of communication systems, yet traditional decoding techniques can often be computationally demanding or ineffective for certain codes, necessitating innovative approaches. In this study, we introduce a hybrid approach that combines machine learning and automorphism techniques to optimize the decoding process. Specifically, we train multilayer perceptron (MLP) models to learn the mapping between error syndromes and their corresponding errors. While these models exhibit robust learning capabilities, their performance sometimes does not reach 100%. To mitigate this limitation, we exploit the automorphism group of the code—a set of structure-preserving transformations—to convert the errors that the MLP struggles to decode into ones it can process more effectively. We use a minimum number of p permutations, pre-calculating and storing all possible automorphisms to ensure computational efficiency. Our experimental results reveal that this hybrid approach substantially enhances the decoding performance of the MLP model, presenting a promising avenue for decoding ECCs. Importantly, this approach is not limited to MLP models and can be applied to any machine learning model with a learning score less than 100%, broadening its applicability and impact. By integrating machine learning with traditional algebraic coding theory, we propose a new paradigm that holds the potential to revolutionize the design of decoding systems, making them more efficient and effective.
