Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

  • Tennis-assisted teaching assessment technology based on machine learning algorithm   Order a copy of this article
    by Miaomiao Li 
    Abstract: To excel in table tennis, players must understand both their strengths and weaknesses to develop effective strategies and improve their chances of winning. Previous studies were often limited by incomplete or inaccurate data. To address this, we developed The Intellectual Tactical System in Competitive Table Tennis, which utilises video analysis of competition matches to collect comprehensive data. We proposed a machine learning approach that combines feature selection with association rules to extract meaningful patterns. This study used matches featuring Yun-Ju Lin as case examples, employing the 3S theory speed, spin, and spot for data collection and analysis. By identifying key factors and match contexts, winning strategy models were constructed. The findings can assist Yun-Ju Lin in optimising his training and tactical planning. This approach may also serve as a valuable framework for elite players and coaches aiming to conduct in-depth strategic analysis.

  • Building Bridges to Employment: The Mediating Role of Network Size and Tie Strength in Proactive Job Searching   Order a copy of this article
    by Son-Tung Le 
    Abstract: The study aims to investigate the impact of proactive personality on new graduates networking activity for job searching, as well as how proactive personality affects networking behaviour for job searching via network size and tie strength. In order to do this, the relationships among proactive personality, network size, tie strength, and networking activity are explained using both individual difference theory and social network theory. Using the convenient sampling method, a sample of 773 graduates from various Vietnamese universities was obtained. Analysis of moment structures (AMOS) software was used for data analysis to investigate the mediating effects. Our findings showed that job seekers proactive personalities had a positive effect on their networking behaviour. More crucially, our research revealed that network size and tie strength operate as mediators between proactive personality and networking activity, which underscores the connection between these two factors in job searches. Further discussion is given to the studys theoretical and practical implications.

  • A Study on Exploring Blockchain Solutions for Enhancing IOT Security   Order a copy of this article
    by Shruthi S., Nandini M. S 
    Abstract: The swift expansion of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has resulted in unparalleled prospects for connectivity and information sharing. However, the pervasive deployment of IoT devices also give rise to security risks with the potential for privacy breaches and data vulnerabilities over the few years, the incorporation of Blockchain technology with IoT has shown to be a viable solution for overcoming these security challenges. The aim of the paper is contribute to the ongoing discourse on securing IoT ecosystems through Blockchain technology. The paper presents a review of the security threats, challenges in blockchain and IoT integration, issues and opportunities. It examines the potential of Blockchain as a solution to mitigate these threats, offering a detailed analysis of Blockchain-based security mechanisms and their integration with IoT environments. An examination of different consensus protocols and existing security techniques employed in Blockchain-IoT integration is presented. Additionally, the paper outlines evaluation parameters for assessing the effectiveness of Blockchain-based solutions in securing IoT infrastructures.
    Keywords: Internet of Things; Blockchain; Denial-of-service; Security; Attacks.
