How the widget can be run by shortcode

I think you are out of luck as wordpress core doesn’t have this kind of functionality. Quick googling shows that there are plugins to do that like this one http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/amr-shortcode-any-widget/, but if you have programming skills you should probably write a shortcode handler with/instead of the widget.
