An Approach for the Comparative Evaluation of Requirements Formalisation Approaches
No full textVarious approaches have been proposed to automate the formalisationof software requirements from semi-formal or informal documents. However, thisarea of research lacks well-established case studies to serve as benchmarks forcomparing different methods. Additionally, there is a need for clear, objective cri-teria to effectively assess the outcomes of these formalisation approaches. Thesegaps make it challenging to identify which techniques are most suitable for spe-cific formalisation tasks. This paper addresses these issues by introducing a set ofstandardized case studies and a structured framework for evaluating the perfor-mance of requirements formalisation techniques using measurable criteria. Weapply this evaluation framework to assess five different formalisation methods,which include both rule-based and machine learning-driven approaches
Next-Generation Quantum Security: The Impact of Quantum Computing on Cybersecurity—Threats, Mitigations, and Solutions
No full textThe rapid advancement of quantum computing poses unprecedented threats to classical cryptographic systems, jeopardizing the security of digital infrastructures worldwide. This review paper comprehensively examines the transformative impact of quantum computing on cybersecurity, highlighting vulnerabilities introduced by algorithms like Shor’s and Grover’s, which can break widely used encryption methods such as RSA, ECC, and AES. It underscores the urgency of adopting quantum-resistant solutions, including post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and quantum key distribution (QKD), to mitigate these risks. The paper also explores emerging hybrid systems, quantum-safe blockchain, and IoT security, offering actionable insights for transitioning to quantum-resilient frameworks. By synthesizing interdisciplinary research, this work emphasizes the need for global collaboration, standardization, and innovation to safeguard data integrity and privacy in the impending quantum era, making it a pivotal resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers

No full textLong-term host parasite dynamics in eight odontocete species from south-eastern South Africa
No full textAlthough investigations of stranded and bycaught cetaceans have been conducted since the 1970s, little is known about parasites infecting the 25 species found in the South African subregion. For this study, we retrospectively identified parasites from eight bycaught and stranded odontocete species along the south-eastern coast of South Africa between 1970 – 2015 to produce a list of parasite species affecting southern African odontocetes and examine patterns of infection in host species with regards to age, sex, time intervals and collection method. Parasites were identified in 192 out of the 2599 individuals examined. Previously unreported parasite species were found for several southern African odontocete species, underscoring the importance of museum collections for biological research. Offshore and stranded odontocetes generally had a higher prevalence of parasites, although there were a few exceptions. Binomial logistic regression models showed significantly higher probability of parasitic presence (p0.05) was detected between the sexes of all odontocete species investigated (p>0.05). Parasitic prevalence was highest during the most recent years (2000–2015) for half of the odontocete species investigated, in agreement with the models. Accurate morphological identification of parasites affecting marine mammals is essential for comprehending disease epidemiology, assessing the health of cetacean populations, and developing effective conservation and management strategies
