Fashion design is a very demanding industry that involves many of the concepts, requirements, and demands of human beings. An area like this, which has a huge involvement of people requires some sort of technology to solve its problems and give the best service to the consumers. So, like every other industry, the fashion and Apparel industry also has some issues such as high production costs, wastage, customer dissatisfaction, and environmental pollution. In order to address these issues, Artificial Intelligence based technologies have been used, including Machine Learning, Decision Support systems, Expert Systems, Optimization, and Image Recognition & Vision. This review presents different research on Artificial Intelligence-based technologies and issues related to the fashion industry. Based on the operational procedures, this study's concerns are also divided into four areas, such as apparel design, production, retail, and supply chain management. In addition to that, Big data helps Apparel e-commerce retailers provide personalized offerings to customers. Machine learning and image processing techniques are commonly used to develop data-driven solutions using product-related data provided by Apparel product manufacturers & designers, and also these technologies help the supply chain to improve business operations.

However, when verifying a building-block software framework for urban flood management HydroGIS model development (HydroGIS Framework), the framework is always subjected to more arguable or marginal acceptance, due to the development process is less observed by the expert evaluators and a higher possibility of localised thinking limited to experts’ field of studies. Therefore, in such scenarios, the multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) method gets popular as it mainly analysis the group of experts' view on a set of alternatives (options) following the same set of criteria. However, the MCGDM method directly does not support the present verification. Therefore, the present work aims to modify the MCGDM method for verification of the present HydroGIS framework. For that, it studied different works on MCGDM and formulate a general map of integrated processes. Then analyse the HydroGIS framework components’ integration depths using spatial analysis method (area comparison) and attention theory explanation, to select a suitable fuzzy type to be used in MCGDM. After that present work map, the framework verification attributes to the MCGDM model and carry out the verification. As result, it developed a verified relation map of various fuzzy concepts, formulated a generalised process map of the MCGDM process, identified Type-1 fuzzy concept is substantial to expert preferences demodulation and demonstrated how it can employ modified MCGDM method to evaluate the urban flood management framework satisfactorily. The present work shows how MCGDM can be utilised for Flood management framework verification.

Psychological problems include fear of failing, family pressure, competitive pressure, depression, academic stress, homesickness, and relationship issues are the major issues that students face and find hard to deal with. Student Counselling is a very important aspect for the students because it helps to save them from all issues that can negatively impact their studies. The students are under extreme pressure that needs to be heard, but they may not be able to verbalize their problems in front of the counsellors as they do not feel comfortable speaking, and, they do not like to expose others when they meet a counsellor. Therefore, the necessity for an online system that can manage all counselling processes was identified. Even though many counselling management systems have been introduced to the market, those systems are not capable of using in particular universities, institutes, etc. Our proposed system has the capability of implementing in institutes and doing online counselling via chat, video conferencing, or meeting in person as preferred by the user.

The bag itself should possess qualities such as space, durability, comfortability, safety, and most importantly provide proper protection for electronic devices carried by computing students. This study aims to design a bag that addresses the existing problems in the bag provided by the university for computing undergraduates. This paper presents an integrative framework of Kansei Engineering (KE), and the Kano model (KM) applied to produce the design of the bag. To explore the relationship between the quality attributes of the design and Kansei, the Kano model is incorporated into KE, which collects and communicates the emotional demands of the consumer. In this study, the bag used daily by computing students is utilized as a case study to demonstrate how KE and KM are integrated into the product development process. The results of this research were generated from thirteen Kansei words which were produced from a questionnaire. The final design of the bag was developed by evaluating total customer satisfaction. As per the results, the final design of the bag was of urban shape with a padded top grip and straps. Polyurethane/ Thermoplastic Polyurethane (PU/TPU) was chosen as the outer fabric for durability and water-resistant quality while polyester ripstop was chosen as the inner lining for the bag to make it lightweight.
