Abstract
This paper introduces a novel algorithm designed to enhance the performance of PDF-based chatbots for domainspecific
question answering. The proposed system integrates advanced table parsing techniques, hybrid indexing,
context-aware response generation, and a continuous learning feedback loop, effectively addressing the limitations
of existing approaches. We validate the effectiveness of our algorithm through a case study using a PDF document
on pregnancy, demonstrating its potential applications across various specialized knowledge domains. The
chatbot’s innovative features, such as advanced multimodal content processing and dynamic knowledge base
updates, establish it as a powerful tool for extracting relevant information from complex documents.

The prescriptive agile framework is a novel approach that leverages an integrated process ontology, involving agile Scrum and OpenUp methodologies. The objective is to enhance both productivity and quality within software development projects where fresh developers are engaged. Key Process elements of OpenUP and agile Scrum are used to construct the ontology. The ontology is defined and instantiated with software projects having the complete user stories. Subsequently a three-sprint project experiment is conducted. The metrics of Earned Value (EV) and Code Maintainability are used to gauge productivity and quality. This research contributes to improving productivity and code quality in software engineering particularly when there are many amateurs.

Performance of individual developers and effort on reworks in agile scrum environments has an impact on the productivity and quality of the developed software. The traditional agile metrics do not consider reworks in measuring productivity. Yet, an enhanced methodology to compute individual performance and quantify reworks in agile scrum contexts is required. By introducing Earned Value Analysis based Productivity Ratio and Blended Quality Metric based on Code Maintainability Index, this gap is bridged. Applying the metrics to ten real time software projects over eighteen months, having twelve sprints each, a framework is decided for performance management in agile scrum development. The findings indicate the efficacy of the metrics in providing valuable insights to improve productivity and quality measures in software development environments.

Internet of Things (IoT) applications have become ubiquitous in various aspects of daily life, including smart homes, healthcare, and other areas where human assistance is crucial. However, the valuable real-world data collected by IoT devices and transmitted over the Internet have become a prime target for numerous malicious actors and hackers. Therefore, ensuring secure communication to prevent unauthorized access to this transmitted data is of paramount importance. This research is dedicated to the development of a robust security system for IoT to protect sensor data. Traditionally, IoT systems have relied on fixed encryption keys shared between transmitters and receivers, which presented vulnerabilities as these keys could be easily compromised. In this study, we introduce an enhanced version of the AES algorithm with dynamic keys. In this modified algorithm, each cycle involves the XOR operation of four keywords with the sequence number. Each round of the AES algorithm incorporates various transformations, including DivideSwap, SubBytes, ShiftRows, MixColumns, and AddRoundKey, with the exception of the final round, which excludes the MixColumns operation. To implement and test this upgraded security approach, we utilized hardware components such as the Arduino Uno, ESP8266, and DHT11 sensors. The enhanced AES algorithm was integrated into the Arduino Uno to secure sensor data before transmission across the network. The results of our analysis demonstrate that the proposed IoT security method presents a significantly higher level of cryptographic resilience compared to the traditional AES algorithm, making it a robust solution for safeguarding IoT data.

The Internet of Things is a developing network of embedded gadgets that can connect with the outside world (IoT). Since IoT devices have limited storage, memory, and processing power, they should typically offer the choice to run at lower power levels. These constrained devices are unsuited for security measures that significantly rely on encryption since they cannot carry out complex encryption and decryption quickly enough to allow for the possibility of reliably transferring information in real-time. A public-key encryption method called elliptic curve cryptography is utilised in an IoT setting to guarantee security, however it takes a long time to evaluate because of its scalar increase. While still adhering to the requirements of extremely lightweight encryption, ECC is currently slower than AES. The memory requirements for ECC must be decreased in order for the system to consume less RAM and ROM during operation. This work decreases the scalar increase in the elliptic curve and proposes a novel mapping strategy in order to speed up the assessment process. The succession number multiplies the plain text corresponding ASCII values. The elliptic curve will be input with the multiplied values. By using this innovative technique, ASCII value plaintext avoids overt repetition. The technique is intended to be used to encode or decode any plaintext message that contains ASCII values and a sequence number.

Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is a current area of enquiry in the domain of Cryptography. ECC is beneficial in various schemes of cryptography due to its lowered key size and rapid generation of key. It is suitable for IoT devices to provide security. Many IoT devices have restricted amount of storage and processing ability. They frequently need to run on low power. Heavy encryption dependent approaches are not a good fit for these constrained devices. They are incapable of performing complicated encryption and decryption quick enough to be able to secure data in real-time transmission. Transformation of text messages to elliptic curve points has always been enigmatic. Comparing to other cryptographic algorithms the arithmetic involved in elliptic curve cryptography is computationally less complicated. This paper provides an overview of elliptic curves, different mapping schemes and their application in cryptography. The emphasis is on the performance gains to be acquired by using elliptic curve cryptography as an alternative to conventional cryptosystem like RSA.

The implicit idea of the IoT is to follow client's identity effectively, so the security and protection concerns like theft the information and disturbance of tasks are turning out to be basic issues in the present IoT applications. Aggressor can pick up the access to the system can harm the physical gadgets of IoT can harm the system which bargains the protection and security of IoT. As the IoT gadgets have low memory, less force and data transmission a productive arrangement to give security is required that won't chomp through the resources of IoT. Because of the resource constrained condition in IoT the regular algorithms isn't sufficient to guarantee the information security. So we want a less computational expense as far as force utilization, memory management and more effective cryptography algorithms to offer more information security in IoT. This paper shows the hybrid cryptography security in IoT by embedding of ECC and TwoFish calculation, which gives an enhanced answer for upgrade the security highlights of the IoT with the goal that we can improve the administration therefore achieves growing the trust over the advancement.
