	abstract = {In order to design an adaptable business process, the SCOR model was extended to L-SCOR model integrating the concept of adaptability at the two sections {\textquotedblleft}Process{\textquotedblright} and {\textquotedblleft}Metrics{\textquotedblright}. This work represents a case study that gives the chance to apply L-SCOR on the retirement supply chain. This paper started by giving an overall overview about L-SCOR model then detailed the studied supply chain models at two levels of L-SCOR. The second level model expressed the flows between the planning processes and the business process sL3 {\textquotedblleft}Learn Make{\textquotedblright} that describes the management of adaptability for rights liquidation. The fourth level model explains how the recommendation web service will be used for this business process. The paper also detailed the prerequisites for the recommendation web service which implements the Q-Learning algorithm, and discussed the returning Q-table and the optimal strategy for the called activity. {\textcopyright} 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.},

	abstract = {Machine Learning (ML) has been a concern in Software Engineering (SE) over the past years. However, how to use ML and what it can offer for SE is still subject to debate among researchers. This paper investigates the application of ML in SE. The goal is to identify the used algorithms, the addressed topics and the main findings. It performs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of peer-reviewed studies published between 1995 and 2020. Data extracted from the studies show that ML algorithms are of great practical value in the different activities of software development process, especially {\textquotedblleft}Software specification{\textquotedblright} and {\textquotedblleft}Software validation{\textquotedblright} since {\textquotedblleft}Software bug prediction{\textquotedblright} and {\textquotedblleft}Software quality improvement{\textquotedblright} are the most recurring research topics. {\textcopyright} 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.},

	abstract = {Pharmaceuticals are an important component of the health system activity. Their contribution to improving the health status is vital. To ensure sound management of the pharmaceutical products logistics (orders, delivery, storage and distribution), a new procurement strategy has been adopted by Morocco in 2012. This strategy is based on a centralized procurement, by which the purchase is grouped by anticipation (the budget for the year in progress / the exercise of the following year), and a decentralized storage and distribution allowing the territory stratification in eight regional depots: Berrechid, Oujda, Al-Hoceima, Laayoune, Agadir, Marrakech, Meknes and Tangier. The challenges this environment is facing justify the focus on this research subject, and the contribution of this work includes a global mapping of the Moroccan supply chain of hospital drugs, and a simulation of the dispensation process comparing the global and the nominative dispensation. {\textcopyright} 2017 Association for Computing Machinery.},
