“…As such traffic load is also incurred on the edges and access points of service provider networks, some innovative solutions are mandatory to match bandwidth and traffic control demands. New technologies and digital ecosystems' multi-layered structure, encompassing network, software, and services, determine how new values are defined, thereby setting the grounds for communication service providers to offer practical and novel solutions [1].…”

Globalization and increased virtual communication have posed many challenges to high-tech companies; hence, such companies are sparing efforts to detect the best technologies in this field to solve new and emerging challenges addressing traffic load, communication system security, and infrastructure optimization. Telecommunications companies deal with a highly dynamic and uncertain environment, where their relevant technologies are changing and developing at an increasing speed. Regarding such an environment in telecommunications companies, the present study aimed to present an efficient model for formulating technology strategies for these companies. The proposed model is a hybrid method of attractiveness-capability matrix and, multi-criteria decision-making approaches in an uncertain and dynamic environment. The model provides the attractiveness-capability evaluation factors and criteria regarding the requirements of dynamic and uncertain environments in these companies. This approach provides a more accurate picture of the rapidly changing technologies in formulating technology strategy. The model also used the fuzzy TOPSIS to control the uncertainty aroused by widespread emerging technologies in such organizations. The proposed model is implemented concerning the requirements of the Mobile Communications Company of Iran (MCI), and its results are discussed in detail.

The COVID-19 pandemic has plunged the world into a health and economic crisis never seen before since the Spanish flu pandemic in 1918. The closure of schools and universities, the banning of rallies, and other social distancing in countries have been done to disrupt the transmission of the virus. Governments have planned to reduce restrictions on corona management by implementing vaccination programs. This research aims to better understand the Coronavirus disease’s behavior, identify the prevalent factors, and adopt effective policies to control the pandemic. This study examines the different scenarios of releasing the constraints and returning to normal conditions before Corona to analyze the results of different scenarios to prevent the occurrence of subsequent peaks. The system dynamics approach is an effective means of studying COVID-19’s behavioral characteristics. The factors that affect Coronavirus disease outbreak and control by expanding the basic SEIR model, interventions, and policies, such as vaccination, were investigated in this research. Based on the obtained results, the most critical factor in reducing the prevalence of the disease is reducing the behavioral risks of people and increasing the vaccination process. Observance of hygienic principles leads to disruption of the transmission chain, and vaccination increases the immunity of individuals against the acute type of infection. In addition, the closure of businesses and educational centers, along with government support for incomes, effectively controls and reduces the pandemic, which requires cooperation between the people and the government. In a situation where a new type of corona has spread, if the implementation of the policy of reducing restrictions and reopening schools and universities is done without planning, it will cause a lot of people to suffer.
