A Vendor-Neutral Omnichannel Conversational Payment Architecture for Conversational Commerce Integrating BYOP, Native Solutions, and PCI Compliance
Conversational AI and digital commerce are entering a new paradigm for how brands engage with customers. Unfortunately, payments continue to pose significant friction points that can jeopardize the entire conversational experience for customers. In this article, we will discuss a secure omnichannel payment architecture that will provide the basis for powering conversational commerce via chat, voice, social media, and branded applications (with BYOP). This architecture incorporates industry innovations such as the Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP), Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP), and generally accepted PCI DSS-compliant (i.e., PCI compliance) in-chat payment solutions and will serve as the basis for a reference architecture that includes the integration of native payment methods, third-party tokenization, and compliance-first design principles. Additionally, our reference architecture addresses the following three core challenges: maintaining brand control and a merchant-of-record status for all payments made through a conversational channel; maintaining PCI DSS compliance across all conversational channels; and providing global team enablement for solution consulting. Our findings indicate that purpose-built conversational payment layers can reduce integration friction by 40%, increase payment success rates to 98.2%, and increase chat-to-payment conversions by 87.8%, compared to legacy redirect methodologies.
Federated Data Pipelines Enabling Continuous Contract and Asset State Traceability
The growing number of demands associated with secure and real-time tracking of the contracts and asset conditions has required elaboration of the sophisticated data processing frameworks. A new pattern is suggested in this paper that uses Federated Data Pipelines to provide the possibility of tracing the contracts and assets state continuously and at the same time maintain the data privacy. Data Normalization/Standardization is integrated in the methodology to provide homogenous distribution of data to all the decentralized nodes and then Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is used to reduce the dimensionality efficiently. To forecast contract conditions and asset transition correctly a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is used. The system exploits Federated Learning alongside Privacy-Preserving Computation using secure computation techniques such as Homomorphic Encryption. Experimental findings show that the experimental results are more accurate, with lesser latency and better privacy when compared to the traditional centralized systems. The suggested framework offers a flexible and effective answer to the real-time traceability, and, therefore, can be applied to supply chain management, financial contract, and asset monitoring systems.

Connected Technology as a Service (CTaaS) Bridging the Small Businesses and Large Enterprises' Digital Divide
Small businesses constitute 99.9% of all U.S. enterprises, employ 45.9% of the private-sector workforce, and generate 43.5% of national GDP, yet they consistently lag large enterprises in adopting, affording, and sustaining digital technology. This persistent gap across cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, and integrated business platforms directly reduces operational efficiency, weakens resilience, and diminishes competitiveness. Critically, the gap is not primarily one of awareness or willingness: it is a resource gap. Small businesses lack the capital to acquire enterprise-grade technology, the technical staff to deploy and maintain it, and the budget cycles to upgrade it as it ages. The result is a compounding disadvantage that widens with each technology generation. This article examines the structural drivers of the small-business technology adoption gap across the full spectrum of American small businesses, from retail, food service, and professional services to construction, healthcare, and home-based enterprises. It introduces Connected Technology as a Service (CTaaS) as the resource backbone small businesses have never had: a unified, subscription-based, vendor-managed service layer that packages cloud infrastructure, IoT connectivity, AI-driven analytics, cybersecurity, and workflow automation into a single operating environment, acquired, deployed, and continuously upgraded without requiring capital expenditure, technical expertise, or internal IT capacity. A six-layer CTaaS architecture, a sector-applicability matrix, a pain-point resolution model, a cost-capability comparison, and a phased adoption roadmap toward competitive parity are presented, supported by current market and survey data.

Transparent Intelligence Explainability Frameworks for AI-Driven Clinical Decision Support in Healthcare Business Intelligence
Healthcare business intelligence (BI) enhances decision-making through evidence synthesis, visualization, and communication. New technologies and techniques introduce machine learning-based solutions that augment workflows and produce clinical insights (e.g. risk scores, disease progression predictions). However, such insights are notoriously opaque and fail to come with explanations. There are objective reasons why clinical stakeholders may reject insights that lack explainability: clinician trust directly affects decision-making performance, clinicians are trained to be safety vigilant, and AI-based support for decision-making processes is crucial in many use-cases. BI solutions that generate insights not only for clinicians but also for patients must also support patient understanding to be clinically meaningful. Decision workflows integrate clinical insights into user-facing systems Accordingly, requirements for explainability apply to such solutions. Insufficiently transparent clinical insights and recommendations may lead to errors, waste resources, harm the credibility of the systems or healthcare more broadly, and ultimately harm patients. Recent studies show that unexplained clinical insights adversely affect clinician trust and decision-making performance, warning of potential negative repercussions when integrating untrusted AI-generated insights into clinical workflows. Support for reproducible clinical BI roadmap—covering model provenance, version control, explainability measures, importance of real-world monitoring, support for automated explanation generation at scale, and integration with clinical governance and workflow—may also help limit undesired consequences with AI-based clinical BI solutions
Schema-Grounded Agentic AI for Regulatory-Compliant Data Access: Bridging Natural Language and Enterprise Data Governance in Financial Services
While many text-to-SQL benchmarks exist in academia, a fundamental tension in enterprise data access using LLM agents remains unaddressed: the system must be powerful enough to synthesise complex query logic that operates on proprietary schemas, yet strict enough to support data governance, access control, and auditability requirements imposed by financial regulators. In this paper, we address this tension through the design and implementation of a schema-grounded multi-agent system called MarketingMind at a Fortune 500 financial services enterprise, benefiting marketing analysts who interact with customer data via an SFMC environment and Google BigQuery. Three design principles aligned with the governance model are introduced: Schema-as-Guardrail, which restricts generative output to the dynamically loaded enterprise schema context; Tool-Boundary Enforcement, which deterministically blocks all mutation operations at the execution level; and Least-Privilege Agent Isolation, which confines each specialist agent to its declared toolset. Evaluation results show 97.3% schema fidelity under grounded conditions, compared with 71.8% in the ungrounded baselines; 100% mutation rejection across 10,000 adversarial inputs; and 0% tool leakage across 5,000 multi-turn sessions. The system manages 30+ SFMC Data Extensions and a BigQuery subscriber preference centre with 25+ communication categories. Findings highlight the need to treat governance as an architectural primitive and to complement prompt instructions with deterministic enforcement mechanisms when deploying enterprise LLMs in compliance-sensitive areas.
Enhancing the Security of AI-Driven Systems in Space Exploration and Research
AI's increasing presence in space exploration platforms has allowed mission opportunities from autonomous navigation to real-time anomaly detection. However, this progress brings with it a new category of cybersecurity problems that traditional cybersecurity models do not expect. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the adversarial attack vectors for AI systems in space environments, such as input manipulation, poisoning of training data, degradation of AI models, and exploitation of the supply chain. Based on the 2022 incident with ViaSat KA-SAT, which knocked out approximately 45,000 modems in Europe, this research highlights major shortcomings of today's space security stances. It is proposed to implement a five-layer defense-in-depth approach, based on guidance from NIST CSF 2.0 [5], NIST AI RMF 1.0 [6], MITRE ATLAS [7], and CCSDS standards [9]. Architecture is designed to address data integrity, model robustness, infrastructure hardening, encrypted communications, and autonomous operational resilience, all of which are specific to space deployment restrictions. The framework is validated as it is practically effective in the case of the KA-SAT attack chain

Next-Generation Precision Healthcare: AI-Driven Clinical Intelligence, Predictive Analytics, and Adaptive Decision Support Systems
The healthcare sector is increasingly generating vast amounts of data—structured and unstructured, clinical and nonclinical—requiring systematic organization for practical use. Machine learning and statistical modeling have demonstrated predictions with accuracy superior to conventional risk models. However, model implementations have focused on a one-off task rather than incorporation into clinical workflows. For successful utilization, predictive models need to be embedded in a connected data ecosystem and continually refreshed—refreshed by new data available within the clinical setting itself, as well as new knowledge derived from the scientific community. Adaptative decision support evaluates patients against a set of clinical guidelines that enables deviations tailored to individual context, integrates with electronic health record (EHR) systems, operates in real time or batch mode, and has an architecture that supports transparency and an understanding of inference mechanisms—by clinicians as well as patients. Analytical engines are biased toward interpretable models, but the choice is ultimately determined by the clinician. Improving the accuracy and reducing errors of a tool designed to enhance decision-making should clearly be a priority.

Privacy Preserving Federated Learning for Distributed Intrusion Detection: Differential Privacy Guarantees, NonIID Convergence, and Byzantine Robustness
Federated learning (FL) enables collaborative intrusion detection system (IDS) training across organizations that cannot share raw network traffic due to privacy, regulatory, or competitive constraints. However, naive FL deployments are vulnerable to gradient inversion attacks that reconstruct private training data from gradient updates, suffer severe accuracy degradation under nonidentically distributed (nonIID) data partitions across heterogeneous network environments, and are susceptible to Byzantine manipulation by adversarial clients. This paper presents FedIDSDP, a differentially private federated learning framework for distributed IDS that simultaneously addresses all three challenges. The framework applies Renyi Differential Privacy (RDP) accounting with perlayer gradient clipping, a communication efficient Top gradient scarification scheme achieving 90% compression with less than 1.2% accuracy loss, and an adaptive Fed Prox regularization term dynamically calibrated to client data heterogeneity via Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD). Theoretical analysis establishes (epsilon=1.0, delta=10^5)DP guarantees across 200 communication rounds for five heterogeneous client organizations. Byzantine fault tolerance under 20% malicious client fraction is provided by Krum aggregation. Empirical evaluation on CICIDS2018 with Dirichlet nonIID partitioning (alpha=0.5) demonstrates FedIDSDP achieves 97.8% F1score, within 1.2 percentage points of centralized training, while providing provable privacy guarantees and 73% communication overhead reduction. Ablation studies confirm each component's contribution; distribution shift experiments validate adaptive weight updating.

Enterprise Identity and Access Governance (IAG) is undergoing a fundamental transformation driven by cloud adoption, hybrid workforce dynamics, regulatory intensification, and the proven inadequacy of periodic, manual access certification in managing the risk of excessive entitlements. This paper presents the Adaptive Identity and Access Governance Framework (AIAGF), a production validated intelligent IAG platform that integrates Graph Neural Network (GNN)based identity risk scoring, AI assisted access certification, MLdriven role mining, and continuous privilege lifecycle governance across heterogeneous enterprise identity ecosystems. AIAGF introduces two novel algorithms: Algorithm 1 (AIAGF) constructs a dynamic identity entitlement knowledge graph, applies Louvain community detection for peer group formation, and computes a five factor composite risk score per identity using weighted ensemble of GNN node embeddings, Bilt behavioral analysis, SoD conflict scoring, peer deviation metrics, and historical pattern analysis. Algorithm 2 (IARS: Identity and Access Risk Scoring Engine) formalizes the multidimensional risk computation with Platt scaled probability calibration and Shape based explainability. The framework's access certification module achieves 64.3% AI precertification rate, reducing mean campaign duration from 97 days to 10.7 days while maintaining 98.4% certification accuracy. Driven role mining reduces role explosion from 8,241 to 1,134 business roles (86% reduction) achieving silhouette coefficient 0.71, with SoD conflicts reduced 94%. Experimental evaluations across 28 enterprise organizations (247,000 identities, 18month longitudinal study) demonstrates: 98.4% identity risk classification accuracy (AUC 0.981), 74% reduction in access violations, 89% certification cycle time reduction, and average $3.4M annual cost avoidance per organization. Comparative analysis against SailPoint Identity Now, Saviynt Enterprise, IBM Security Verify, One Identity Manager, and rule based baselines confirms AIAGF superiority across all metrics (McNemar's test, p < 0.001).

Optimizing Enterprise Integration Pipelines using Cloud-Native Data Engineering and Middleware Solutions
Enterprise integration pipelines are critical to enabling seamless data exchange across heterogeneous systems in modern digital ecosystems. With the rapid adoption of cloud computing, microservices architectures, and real-time analytics, traditional integration approaches—often based on monolithic middleware and batch processing—are increasingly inadequate in meeting scalability, latency, and resilience requirements. This article explores the transformation of enterprise integration pipelines through the adoption of cloud-native data engineering practices and modern middleware solutions. It examines key architectural paradigms, including event-driven design, API-led connectivity, and distributed data processing frameworks, which collectively enhance system agility and operational efficiency The paper further analyzes the role of containerization, orchestration platforms, and serverless computing in enabling elastic and fault-tolerant integration workflows. It highlights the importance of data pipeline optimization techniques such as stream processing, intelligent routing, schema evolution handling, and automated scaling. Additionally, the integration of observability, security, and governance mechanisms is discussed as a foundational requirement for enterprise-grade deployments Through a synthesis of contemporary design patterns and emerging technologies, this article provides a comprehensive framework for designing scalable, resilient, and high-performance integration pipelines. The insights presented aim to guide organizations in modernizing legacy integration infrastructures while ensuring interoperability, cost efficiency, and future readiness in increasingly complex IT environments
ENTERPRISE INTEGRATION LESSONS FROM FOUR DIGITAL FRONTLINES: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF MODERN IT ECOSYSTEMS
Enterprise integration is a vital enabler of digital transformation in complex environments with legacy systems, diverse stakeholders, and evolving technologies. This study examines integration strategies across four major digital transformation efforts—NHS Digital (UK), DBS Bank (Singapore), Estonia’s e-Governance, and Maersk’s TradeLens platform. Using a comparative case study approach, we assess integration architectures, middleware, protocols, and governance using a capability framework based on system decoupling, API management, real-time synchronization, identity federation, and orchestration. Key enablers include microservices, API gateways, and event-driven messaging (e.g., Kafka). Success factors extend beyond technology to include governance mechanisms like role-based access control (RBAC), integration SLAs, and CI/CD-aligned DevOps pipelines. Findings highlight the effectiveness of lightweight, domain-specific integration layers, the importance of standardized semantics (e.g., HL7 FHIR, ISO 20022), and trade-offs between centralized ESBs and decentralized service mesh models. The paper concludes with an integration maturity model and practical guidance for CIOs and architects modernizing integration infrastructure.
ENGINEERING EVENT-DRIVEN MICROSERVICES PLATFORMS FOR REAL-TIME DATA PROCESSING IN CLOUD ECOSYSTEMS
The increase of cloud-native architectures has radically transformed the design, deployment, and scaling of distributed systems. Event-driven microservices have now become a prevailing paradigm of attaining high-throughput and low-latency data processing in dynamic cloud ecosystems. This article is a detailed study of the engineering concepts, design patterns, and technology frameworks that underpin the development of event-driven microservices platforms that are optimally geared towards real-time data handling. We discuss the architectural premises of asynchronous messaging, message broker technologies (especially Apache Kafka) and how container orchestration facilitates elastic scalability. Patterns such as Event Sourcing, Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) and the Saga pattern in managing distributed transactions are discussed in the paper. We also examine the issues of data consistency, fault tolerance, schema evolution, and observability in large-scale deployments. We base our analysis on existing theoretical foundations and reported industry application to offer practical design advice to architects and engineers to create next-generation cloud-native platforms. The results confirm that an appropriately designed event-driven architecture can help significantly decouple the operational characteristics, enhance system resilience, and provide real-time insights at scale in the contemporary cloud setup.
