      Information overload has always been a remarkable topic in scientific researches, and one of the available approaches in this field is employing recommender systems. With the spread of these systems in various fields, studies show the need for more attention to applying them in scientific applications. Applying recommender systems to scientific domain, such as paper recommendation, expert recommendation, citation recommendation and reviewer recommendation, are new and developing topics. With the significant growth of the number of scientific events and journals, one of the most important issues is choosing the most suitable venue for publishing papers, and the existence of a tool to accelerate this process is necessary for researchers. Despite the importance of these systems in accelerating the publication process and decreasing possible errors, this problem has been less studied in related works. So in this paper, an efficient approach will be suggested for recommending related conferences or journals for a researcher’s specific paper. In other words, our system will be able to recommend the most suitable venues for publishing a written paper, by means of social network analysis and content-based filtering, according to the researcher’s preferences and the co-authors’ publication history. The results of evaluation using real-world data show acceptable accuracy in venue recommendations. Manuscript profile

      In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) brings a new dimension for establishing a precision network connectivity of sensors, especially in the agriculture and farming industry, medical, economic, and several sectors of modern society. Agriculture is an important area for the sustainability of mankind engulfing manufacturing, security, and resource management. Due to the exponential diminishing of the resources, innovative techniques to support the subsistence of agriculture and farming. IoT aims to extend the use of internet technology to a large number of distributed and connected devices by representing standard and interoperable communication protocols. This paper brings up a solution by IoT, presents the design and implementation of a smart pre-seeding decision support system for agricultural modernization. This project is accomplished by understanding the real-time circumstances in the agriculture field using wireless technology that highlighted the features including pH and temperature sensors, hardware, mobile application, system’s frontend, and backend analysis, and stores the extracted information in the cloud using IoT. The system is made up of frontend data acquisition, data transmission, data processing, and reception, and is also experimentally validated to find out all possible crops that can be cultivated in a specific land with the required amount of fertilizers as well as the overall crops distribution lists.
