Abstract:Android applications have become a core component of modern software ecosystems, serving millions of users across diverse domains such as healthcare, finance, education, and entertainment. Ensuring the quality and reliability of Android applications is therefore critical. Mutation testing is recognized as one of the most powerful fault-based software testing techniques, as it evaluates the effectiveness of test suites by introducing small artificial faults, known as mutants, into the program. However, direct application of traditional mutation testing techniques to Android apps faces several challenges including high computational cost, large number of generated mutants, platform-specific features, and event-driven architectures. This paper presents a comprehensive review of efficient mutation testing methods for Android applications. We discuss Android-specific mutation operators, optimization strategies such as selective mutation, higher-order mutation, and mutant reduction, as well as tool support for practical adoption. The paper also compares existing approaches in terms of efficiency, fault detection capability, and scalability. Finally, current research challenges and future directions are highlighted to guide further work in this area.

Abstract: Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) aims to develop systems capable of performing intellectual tasks across diverse domains at human-level or beyond. A key challenge in this pursuit is designing universal knowledge models and cognitive architectures that can represent, integrate, and reason over heterogeneous information in a coherent and scalable way. This paper reviews current approaches to universal knowledge representation, including symbolic systems, neural networks, probabilistic models, and hybrid frameworks. We examine prominent cognitive architectures such as SOAR, ACT-R, OpenCog, and contemporary transformer-based models, analyzing their structural assumptions and learning capabilities. The paper discusses how universal knowledge models may bridge perception, reasoning, planning, and language understanding within a unified architecture. Limitations, open research problems, and possible integration pathways are explored. We argue that future AGI systems will likely require hybrid cognitive architectures that combine structured symbolic reasoning with self-organizing neural representations and memory-centric models.

Abstract: The paper proposes the model of dynamic seat allocation (DSA) by incorporating the RFID technology using an android application that encompasses fair-queuing scheduling mechanism. At present there is no system that facilitates fair queue based seat allocation for waiting list passengers (i.e., both long distance & short distance waiting list passengers) during their journey. RFID technology using an android application with the help of NFC (Near Field Coupling) technology has been evolved as an idea that replaces the manual checking and verification of train tickets done by the TTE’s. The system enables the dynamic allocation of seats which is both system and passenger specific. This eliminates the need for human effort, time and money by increasing the revenue for the Indian Railways Department. The idea has been evolved by modernizing Indian Railways and to eliminate the drawbacks in the present system.

Abstract: With the rapid growth of mobile applications, iOS apps increasingly rely on Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to exchange data with remote servers, cloud services, and third-party platforms. While APIs enable rich functionality and seamless user experiences, they also introduce significant security and privacy challenges. In recent years, data breaches, unauthorized access, and improper handling of sensitive information have raised serious concerns among users, developers, and regulators. Apple has introduced a strong security-centric ecosystem, offering frameworks, policies, and hardware-backed protections that aim to safeguard user data and secure network communication. However, secure API handling and data privacy are not automatically guaranteed by the platform alone; they heavily depend on correct design decisions, secure coding practices, and compliance with privacy regulations.This paper presents a comprehensive review of secure API handling and data privacy practices in iOS applications. It explores the iOS security architecture, common API-related threats, authentication and authorization mechanisms, secure network communication, data storage protection, and privacypreserving design principles. The paper also discusses Apple’s App Store privacy requirements and the impact of global data protection regulations on iOS development. Practical challenges and future trends in API security are highlighted to provide guidance for developers and researchers. The study aims to bridge the gap between theoretical security models and real-world iOS application development, emphasizing the importance of privacy-by-design and defense-in-depth strategies.
