“…In this context, we investigate the graph that represents a given social network (SN) and traverses the links in that SN to find the strongly connected component (SCC) which represents a closed group of individuals who are exposed to infection due to having a link with a confirmed COVID-19 infected individual. In fact, SNs and social media (SM) have become an integral part of our lives (Al-Shaikh et al 2017 ). Formally, SN is a graph that comprises a number of users that are represented with vertices (or nodes) and those users are linked with each other with links (or edges) that represent the relationships between those users.…”

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first reported in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and then moved to almost every country showing an unprecedented outbreak. The world health organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Since then, millions of people were infected, and millions have lost their lives all around the globe. By the end of 2020, effective vaccines that could prevent the fast spread of the disease started to loom on the horizon. Nevertheless, isolation, social distancing, face masks, and quarantine are the best-known measures, in the time being, to fight the pandemic. On the other hand, contact tracing is an effective procedure in tracking infections and saving others’ lives. In this paper, we devise a new approach using a hybrid harmony search (HHS) algorithm that casts the problem of finding strongly connected components (SCCs) to contact tracing. This new approach is named as hybrid harmony search contact tracing (HHS-CT) algorithm. The hybridization is achieved by integrating the stochastic hill climbing into the operators' design of the harmony search algorithm. The HHS-CT algorithm is compared to other existing algorithms of finding SCCs in directed graphs, where it showed its superiority over these algorithms. The devised approach provides a 77.18% enhancement in terms of run time and an exceptional average error rate of 1.7% compared to the other existing algorithms of finding SCCs.

Mobile devices are playing an important role in our daily lives. Nowadays, mobile devices are not only phones to call and text, but they are also smart devices that enable users to do almost any task that could be done on a regular PC. At the heart of the design of smartphones, there lies the processor to which almost all the development in the smartphone arena is attributed. Recently, ARM processors are among the most prominent processors used in mobile devices, smartphones, and embedded systems. This paper conducts an experimental comparative study of ARM 64-bit processors in terms of performance and their effect on power consumption, CPU temperature, and battery temperature. We use a number of well-known benchmarks to evaluate those characteristics of three smartphones, namely, Snapdragon 778G+, Exynos 1280 and HiSilicon Kirin 980. Those smartphones are all equipped with ARM 64-bit processors. Our results reveal that none of the three-selected smartphones was the best in all characteristics; each has superiority amongst others in certain characteristics and is dominated by others in other characteristics.
