In this paper, the scatter search is modified and combined with the variable-sample technique to deal with the simulation-based optimization problem. First, a new design of scatter search is proposed to deal with the deterministic global optimization problem. Then, the variable-sample technique is combined with the modified scatter search method in order to compose a new global search method that...
Testing of software is a worthwhile aspect of software development life cycle. Effective and efficient test cases must be designed to test the software which will reduce the testing cost, time and effort. Nowadays, testing an aspect-oriented program is becoming a challenge for the testers. This paper proposes a novel approach to generate test case scenarios for an aspect oriented program derived from...
Cyber threats push the researchers towards developing detection frameworks for protecting Internet users. Remote administration tool (RAT) is one of the serious cyber tools used by the attackers to fully control the targeted victim machine. In this paper a host based detection framework is introduced for RAT detection. The proposed framework depends on fully analysis of the system behavior of the...
Deaf people have difficulty communicating with the hearing people around them, but little research has addressed how new technology may help address this issue. The current research objectives were to (1) survey research on communication barriers encountered by deaf people; (2) survey the available communication applications (apps) and features designed for deaf people; (3) recommend the best existing...
In today's world mankind is creating wonderful and unpredictable milestone day by day, in all the fields whether it is of nanotechnology or mission mars. This is all due to our deep advance knowledge in technology. As our skills and approaches increases in these areas, it will create huge amount of information and data in bulk, which uses more storage capacity than ever. Due to this it also raise...
Many areas include public transportation, hospitals and shopping mall use the computer technologies for security reasons. The need for integrating the technology with human needs is increased dramatically. Car license plate recognition is one of those technologies that help people to secure themselves from different attacks either attacks that affect their lives or their properties. There is an increasing...
We propose a multimedia-based interactive game that incites elementary school children in Qatar to take regularly the daily breakfast before going to school. It also promotes physical activities and healthy food and shows the strong connection between them. Before playing the game, the children learn about the importance of breakfast within a family setting through multimedia tutorials developed with...
Software engineering code of ethics (SWECOE) is an area within software engineering that requires increasing research attention. SWECOE is acknowledged as an important area of practice that has a huge impact on how software affects our daily life. The degree of harm to the users as a result of using equipment with faulty software applications highly depends on the ability of software engineers to...
Internet connects all the people together, whereas the Internet of Things (IoT) connects all the tools together. Internet of Things is a technology in the health sector with a variety of applications. In this article we consider one of the IoT applications in ophthalmology. The optic nerve disorder and lack of blood supply to the eye can cause vascular disorders of vision and a slight blur to complete...
Most modern search engines feature keyword based search interfaces. These interfaces are usually found on websites belonging to enterprises or governments or sites related to news articles, blogs and social media that contain a large corpus of documents. These collections of documents are not easily indexed by web search engines, and are considered as hidden web databases. These databases provide...
A large number of web databases are hidden behind form-based interfaces (consisting of interface components such as textboxes, drop-down boxes, etc) for users to enter their desired values in a search query. Form-based interfaces are not always easy to use and error-prone on mobile devices, mainly because of limitations such as smaller screen, trickier text input, etc. We build MobiFace which is a...
Business cards are defined as cards which contains some business information about a company or individual. Business card are usually includes a company name or business affiliation with a logo, in addition to some information about cards holders such as (holders name, street addresses, telephone number, fax number, e-mail addresses and website). Nowadays, it became very necessary for these cards...
The integration of resource constrained devices as front nodes in IoT networks is one of the major factors preventing the adoption proven security best practices and techniques. For example, certificate based authentication is still a forlorn quest for ZigBee designers and developers. Although, the capabilities of these devices may improve over time, there is no indication this will happen soon. This...
This study compares the performance of Big Data Stream Processing frameworks including Apache Spark, Flink, and Storm. Also, it measures the resource usage and performance scalability of the frameworks against a varying number of cluster sizes. It has been observed that, Flink outperforms both Spark and Storm under equal constraints. However, Spark can be optimized to provide the higher throughput...
Despite the fact that the implementation of e-learning tasks has reached advanced ranges in evolved international locations, it is nonetheless in its infancy in many developing international locations and the center east especially. Lately, few public universities in Iraq have initiated restricted tries to apply e-gaining knowledge of along traditional school rooms. However, exclusive limitations...
One of the interesting and important subjects among researchers in the field of medical and computer science is diagnosing illness by considering the features that have the most impact on recognitions. The subject discusses a new concept which is called Medical Data Mining (MDM). Indeed, data mining methods use different ways such as classification and clustering to classify diseases and their symptoms...
In present days, the social media and networking act as one of the key platforms for sharing information and opinions. Many people share ideas, express their view points and opinions on various topic of their interest. Social media text has rich information about the companies, their products and various services offered by them. In this research we focus exploring the association of sentiments of...
Utilizing evolutionary algorithms to achieve a low axial ratio of a circularly polarized microstrip antenna over a wide bandwidth and optimal impedance matching is the main aim of this study. A circularly polarized cross aperture coupled microstrip antenna using a 50Ω microstrip feed line is designed. A software simulation program (CST microwave studio) is used to design and compare the performance...
The designers of computing systems have interested on the improvements of computing performance that are driven by the demand of consumer, business, and scientific applications. However, further growth of computing performance has started to be limited due to the increasing energy consumption of cloud data centres as a result of carbon dioxide footprints and overwhelming electricity bills. Therefore,...
