A Systematic Literature Review on Using Natural Language Processing in Software Requirements Engineering

This systematic literature review examines the integration of natural language processing (NLP) in software requirements engineering (SRE) from 1991 to 2023. Focusing on the enhancement of software requirement processes through technological innovation, this study spans an extensive array of scholarly articles, conference papers, and key journal and conference reports, including data from Scopus, IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, and Clarivate. Our methodology employs both quantitative bibliometric tools, like keyword trend analysis and thematic mapping, and qualitative content analysis to provide a robust synthesis of current trends and future directions. Reported findings underscore the essential roles of advanced computational techniques like machine learning, deep learning, and large language models in refining and automating SRE tasks. This review highlights the progressive adoption of these technologies in response to the increasing complexity of software systems, emphasizing their significant potential to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of requirement engineering practices while also pointing to the challenges of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and NLP into existing SRE workflows. The systematic exploration of both historical contributions and emerging trends offers new insights into the dynamic interplay between technological advances and their practical applications in SRE.

SCS 6th Annual Meeting-EEVFA-11th International Congress of Biochemistry and Physiology of Exercise, Athens, Greece, 2023.

On behalf of the Strength and Conditioning Society (SCS) and the Hellenic Society of Biochemistry and Exercise Physiology (EEVFA), we are pleased to present the abstracts of the SCS 6th Annual Meeting and EEVFA-11th International Congress of Biochemistry and Physiology of Exercise. The event was held at the Hellenic Olympic Committee headquarters in Athens, Greece, on 19-22 October 2023, and comprised several invited sessions from international and national speakers on a variety of topics related to biochemistry and exercise physiology, strength and conditioning practices and their application to health, injury prevention and sports performance. These included strength training in high-performance sports, sport science and training-competition load management in elite environments, biochemistry and exercise physiology and prescription, nutrition and biomechanics, among others. The conference also included different practical workshops conducted by renowned academics and practitioners on eccentric training, change of direction ability and strength and power training in professional team-sports, and ergospirometry and exercise prescription in specific populations. Finally, the event disseminated up-to-date strength and conditioning research by providing practitioners and researchers with the opportunity to present their most recent findings. In this regard, all abstracts of the communications presented at the SCS 6th Annual Meeting-EEVFA-11th International Congress of Biochemistry and Physiology of Exercise can be found in this Conference Report.

Conceptual approaches to the development of scientific-cognitive tourism in St. Petersburg

Aims. To develop an effective program for the development of science-cognitive tourism in St. Petersburg, which will help to attract tourists and increase the level of people’s knowledge about science.Objectives. To analyze the current state of scientific-cognitive tourism; to identify the main problems and obstacles for the development of this type of tourism in St. Petersburg; to form conceptual approaches, key activities and projects to be included in the program of scientific[1]cognitive tourism development; to develop a system of indicators of scientific-cognitive tourism development in St. Petersburg.Methods. The methods of descriptive literature review and statistical data analysis were used in the research process. The research includes the study and analysis of scientific articles, reports of scientific conferences and other publications related to the topic of scientific-cognitive tourism in St. Petersburg. This allows to form the theoretical basis of the study, to identify the main approaches, concepts and directions of development of scientific-cognitive tourism and its impact on the socio-economic sphere of the city. The analysis of statistics is based on the official statistical data on tourism provided by the Committee for Tourism Development of St. Petersburg, as well as on the data of international and domestic travel agencies, operators. On the basis of their analysis the trends and indicators of scientific and cognitive tourism development in the city at the present stage are revealed, the factors affecting supply and demand in this sphere are determined. To achieve the goals set in the article the general scientific methods were applied: synthesis, comparison, generalization.Results. The authors proposed conceptual approaches, main activities and projects that are included in the program of development of scientific and cognitive tourism. The system of indicators of development of scientific-cognitive tourism in St. Petersburg is developed.Conclusions. The conceptual approaches are presented within the framework of measures for the development of scientific-cognitive tourism. A program for the development of scientific[1]cognitive tourism has been developed, including such measures as the creation of a department for the development of scientific-cognitive tourism in the Committee for Tourism Development of St. Petersburg, the organization and implementation of a set of measures for the formation of sightseeing tours for schoolchildren of 10-11th grades in all state universities of St. Petersburg on priority areas of science, the construction and implementation of training and retraining courses for tourism workers in order to increase expertise in scientific-cognitive tourism. The system of indicators is developed, which will reflect in dynamics the growth of infrastructure of scientific-cognitive tourism and in view of it the increase of tourist flow. Thus, it is proposed to systematically develop this type of tourism, using the proposed program, taking into account the existing challenges.

Barriers to Adopting Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) in Construction

This study presents a systematic literature review (SLR) of the Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) methodology, focusing on identifying barriers to its adoption. The review encompasses an analysis of 287 documents from 2013 to 2023, including conference articles, doctoral theses, journal articles, master theses, reports, and organizational documents. Following a rigorous selection process, 59 of these documents were identified as pertinent to the investigation. This research employs a dual approach. First, a scientometric analysis to map the collaborative networks of authors and the co-occurrence of keywords, providing a comprehensive picture of the research landscape in AWP. Second, the study delves into the main barriers hindering the adoption of AWP, as revealed through the SLR of the selected documents. The findings offer an overlay network visualization of coauthorship and a network visualization of keyword co-occurrence. The study culminates in a detailed identification of primary AWP barriers, suggestions for future research directions, and potential lines of inquiry within the field. This work contributes to the existing body of knowledge by offering a novel perspective on the challenges associated with AWP implementation and provides a foundation for future scholarly endeavors in this domain.
