“…That is 180/p∙K. The idea is to somehow (using one or another heuristic [ 20 , 21 , 22 ]) find the best (optimal) solution in the neighborhood, assign such a material and orientation to this layer, and proceed to the next layer. It is important to remember here that the reference frame of the layers is not from the bottom up (or from the top down) relative to the thickness of the package but from the middle plane, two layers at a time (+φi and −φi).…”

In engineering practice, a problem is quite often faced in which the number of unknown parameters exceeds the number of conditions or requirements or, otherwise, there are too many requirements for too few parameters to design. Such under- or over-defined tasks are sometimes not possible to solve using a direct approach. The number of solutions to such problems is multiple, and it is most rational to search for the optimal one by numerical methods since the more unknown design parameters there are to be designed, the more potential solutions there are. This article discusses a way to find an optimal solution to such an underdetermined problem by heuristic optimization methods on the basis of the example of designing a composite wing skin of an aircraft. Several heuristic approaches, specifically gradient descent and Tabu search, are studied to solve the design problem and to locate an optimal solution. They are also compared to a conventional direct approach. The examined composite lamina is optimized by the target function of minimum weight with the constraints of strength and buckling failure criteria. In most of the observed cases, the heuristic method designed structures which were considerably better than the structures that were obtained by conventional direct approaches in terms of the weight to load ratio.

“…A transparent partnership between accounting firms and cloud service providers is essential, with both parties sharing the responsibility of maintaining compliance. Data protection laws, particularly those related to the privacy and security of personal and financial information, present another layer of regulatory complexity for cloud-based accounting (Kunene et al, 2022). The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe and various data protection laws in different jurisdictions impose strict requirements on the collection, processing, and storage of sensitive data.…”

Cloud computing has emerged as a transformative force, revolutionizing the landscape for accounting firms. This comprehensive review delves into the profound impact of cloud computing on accounting firms, focusing on key dimensions such as efficiency, scalability, and data security. Examining the shift from traditional infrastructure to cloud-based solutions, the review navigates through the tangible benefits and potential challenges that cloud adoption brings to the accounting domain. Efficiency stands out as a cornerstone of cloud computing's influence on accounting firms. The agility and accessibility offered by cloud-based platforms streamline routine tasks, facilitating seamless collaboration among accounting professionals. The scalability afforded by cloud services empowers firms to dynamically adjust their computing resources, adapting to fluctuations in workload and business demands. This ensures that accounting firms can efficiently handle diverse workloads without being constrained by rigid infrastructure limitations. Scalability further intersects with efficiency, enabling accounting firms to optimize resource allocation and enhance overall productivity. The scalability of cloud solutions aligns with the dynamic nature of the accounting profession, allowing firms to scale up during peak seasons and scale down during lulls, ultimately fostering cost-effectiveness and operational agility. However, the review also critically evaluates the nuances of data security in the cloud computing paradigm. Addressing concerns related to data privacy, confidentiality, and compliance, the review navigates the intricate landscape of securing financial data in a cloud-based environment. It probes into the robustness of encryption protocols, authentication mechanisms, and compliance frameworks, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the security implications inherent in cloud adoption by accounting firms. In conclusion, this review encapsulates the multifaceted impact of cloud computing on accounting firms. Efficiency gains and scalability advantages are juxtaposed against the imperative of fortifying data security. This examination provides a roadmap for accounting professionals, offering insights into harnessing the full potential of cloud technologies while ensuring the integrity and security of sensitive financial data. As accounting firms increasingly pivot towards cloud adoption, this review serves as a strategic guide, equipping practitioners with the knowledge to navigate the evolving landscape of cloud computing in the realm of accounting.
