Mehannaoui R, Mouss K-N, AKSA K. IoT-based food traceability system: Architecture, technologies, applications, and future trends. Food Control [Internet]. 2023;145. Publisher's VersionAbstract

An effective Food Traceability System (FTS) in a Food Supply Chain (FSC) should adequately provide all necessary information to the consumer(s), meet the requirements of the relevant agencies, and improve food safety as well as consumer confidence. New information and communication technologies are rapidly advancing, especially after the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT). Consequently, new food traceability systems have become mainly based on IoT. Many studies have been conducted on food traceability. They mainly focused on the practical implementation and theoretical concepts. Accordingly, various definitions, technologies, and principles have been proposed. The “traceability” concept has been defined in several ways and each new definition has tried to generalize its previous ones. Nevertheless, no standard definition has been reached. Furthermore, the architecture of IoT-based food traceability systems has not yet been standardized. Similarly, used technologies in this field have not been yet well classified. This article presents an analysis of the existing definitions of food traceability, and thus proposes a new one that aims to be simpler, general, and encompassing than the previous ones. We also propose, through this article, a new architecture for IoT-based food traceability systems as well as a new classification of technologies used in this context. We do not miss discussing the applications of different technologies and future trends in the field of IoT-based food traceability systems. Mainly, an FTS can make use of three types of technologies: Identification and Monitoring Technologies (IMT), Communication Technologies (CT), and Data Management Technologies (DMT). Improving a food traceability system requires the use of the best new technologies. There is a variety of promising technologies today to enhance FTS, such as fifth-generation (5G) mobile communication systems and distributed ledger technology (DLT).

AKSA K, Aitouche S, Bentoumi H, Sersa I. Developing a Web Platform for the Management of the Predictive Maintenance in Smart Factories. Wireless Personal Communications [Internet]. 2021;119 :pages1469–1497. Publisher's VersionAbstract
Industry 4.0 is a tsunami that will invade the whole world. The real challenge of the future factories requires a high degree of reliability both in machinery and equipment. Thereupon, shifting the rudder towards new trends is an inevitable obligation in this fourth industrial revolution where the maintenance system has radically changed to a new one called predictive maintenance 4.0 (PdM 4.0). This latter is used to avoid predicted problems of machines and increase their lifespan taking into account that if machines have not any predicted problem, they will never be checked. However, in order to get successful prediction of any kind of problems, minimizing energy and resources consumption along with saving costs, this PdM 4.0 needs many new emerging technologies such as the internet of things infrastructure, collection and distribution of data from different smart sensors, analyzing/interpreting a huge amount of data using machine/deep learning…etc. This paper is devoted to present the industry 4.0 and its specific technologies used to ameliorate the existing predictive maintenance strategy. An example is given via a web platform to get a clear idea of how PdM 4.0 is applied in smart factories.

AKSA K. Principles of Biology in Service of Technology: DNA Computing. Algerian Journal of Environmental Science and Technology (ALJEST) [Internet]. 2021;7 (20). Publisher's VersionAbstract
 As commonly known that living beings cannot survive without natural sources available on earth, technology is no exception; it cannot develop without the inspiring help given by the same nature. The field of biology has extensively participated in the computing field through the "code of life" DNA (Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid) since it was discovered by Adelman in the past century. This combination gave birth to DNA Computing, which is a very interesting new aspect of biochemistry. It works massively parallel with high energy efficiency, and requiring almost no space. The field of molecular computing is still new and as the field progresses from concepts to engineering, researchers will address these important issues.  By the use of encoding data into DNA strands, many NP-complete problems have been solved and many new efficient techniques have been proposed in cryptography field. The aim of this paper is to give an overview of bio-inspired system and to summarize the great role of DNA molecule in servicing of the technology field.
Ag Hameyni A, Aitouche S, AKSA K. Proposition d’un tutoriel pour une usine apprenante (Textile de Batna). universitaires europeennes.; 2021.Abstract
Le contexte actuel de globalisation et de concurrence accrue a entrainé les firmes à reconsidérer leurs stratégies d’internationalisation et à réexaminer les opportunités offertes et les risques associés. Les alliances stratégiques apparaissent ainsi comme des vecteurs privilégiés notamment par les firmes multinationales pour leurs nouvelles implantations.La communication et le travail d’équipe sont parmi les compétences les plus récurrents associés à une connaissance des sciences de l’ingénieur. Cependant, leur application n’est pas simple, en raison de l’absence d’approche pédagogique contribuant à développer des connaissances fondées sur l’expérience.Dans ce travail nous avons défini qu’est-ce qu’une organisation apprenante, qu’est-ce qu’un tutoriel et pourquoi un tutoriel personnalisé dans un métier, ses différentes formes et les démarches pour l’élaboration d’un tutoriel.Après nous avons donné une présentation de l’entreprise qu’est Textile Batna. Nous avons con\c cu un tutoriel pour l’entreprise sous forme d’un site Web. Pour cela, le langage UML a été utilisé. Les fonctionnalités du tutoriel ont été présentées.

Communication and teamwork are among the most recurrent skills associated with knowledge of engineering sciences. However, their application is not simple, due to the lack of a pedagogical approach that contributes to the development of knowledge based on experience. The problem in factories is the lack of daily self learning to avoid the essential presence of the experts in to resolve problems. In this work, we defined what is a learning organization, what is a tutorial and why a personalized tutorial in a trade, its different forms and steps for the development of a tutorial. After we gave a presentation of the company that is Textile Batna. This article discusses how to design a personalized tutorial, oriented and aimed at learning and knowledge transfer in the industry. By developing this system we aim to build an experimental database serving to preserve the knowledge of the production industry expertise of the Batna textile factory. We have designed a tutorial for the company in the form of a website. For this, the UML language was used. The tutorial features were presented. It helped employees to aquire certain skills without assistance of experts.

Aitouche S, Sahraoui K, AKSA K, Djouggane F, Cherrid W, Belayati S. A Scientometric Framework: Application for Knowledge Management (KM) in Industry Between 2014 and 2019. The Twelfth International Conference on Information, Process, and Knowledge Management (eKNOW 2020) [Internet]. 2020. Publisher's VersionAbstract
It is always difficult to identify the most recent works that have been published, especially those published in recent years, due to delays in putting publications online, citations indexe, etc. Scientometry offers to researchers various concepts, models and techniques that can be applied to knowledge management (KM) in order to explore its foundations, its state, its intellectual core, and its potential future development. To this end, we have developed a scientometric KM framework to calculate the scientometric indexes related to a query introduced in the Scopus database, to facilitate research and monitoring of productivity and collaboration between the authors of KM in particular and also the dissemination of knowledge. The works between 2014 and 2019 are taken, the industry of services was omitted. It might help the decision makers and researchers to optimize their time and efforts. We used Unified Modeling Language (UML) to translate the development ideas of the scientometric framework structure into diagrams, and Delphi 7 to calculate the indexes and ensure other operations of research (about: articles, their authors, conferences, etc). This framework is only valid for Excel files extracted from Scopus or similar format. Finally, the relation between KM and industry 4.0 was established on found articles in Scopus.
