Summary form only given, as follows. Founded in 2002, Middle East College (MEC) has established itself as one of the premier higher education institutions in the Sultanate of Oman. Located in the Knowledge Oasis Muscat, the country's flagship technology park, it provides a vibrant and inspiring campus environment with state of the art infrastructure. Nurtured in this environment, students are empowered...
The discipline of Innovation is constantly evolving and we are now arguably at a strategic inflection point where a new mode of innovation is emerging. This presentation introduces Open Innovation 2.0 (OI2) which is a new paradigm based on principles of integrated multidisciplinary collaboration, co-created shared value, cultivated innovation ecosystems, unleashed exponential technologies, and focus...
Municipal solid waste (MSW) disposed in landfill sites decompose under anaerobic conditions and produce gases which contain 30–40% of carbon dioxide (CO2) and 50–60% of methane (CH4). Methane has the potential of causing global warming 25 times more than CO2. Therefore, migration of CH4 gas from landfills to the surrounding environment can potentially affect human life and environment. Thus, this...
Technology innovations triggered enhancement of e-learning paradigm towards smart learning environment. Large data availability, information processing tools and techniques further created new approach and explorations in teaching and learning. Expansion of education technology framework, diversified content characteristics and huge volume of information availability further made the e-learning to...
Clustering algorithms have materialized as an unconventional tool to precisely examine the immense volume of data produced by present applications. In specific, their main objective is to classify data into clusters such that objects are grouped in the same cluster when they are similar rendering to particular metrics and dissimilar to objects of other groups. From the machine learning perspective...
The remarkable growth in digital data is changing what and how the defense against the unknown will take place. Big data is a technical term used today to represent this massive growth of digital data that's being created from many sources. Organizations have turned their attentions to the deployment of Big Data analytics to gain valuable insights that benefit their businesses within protected and...
The Internet of Things with its enormous growth widens its applications to the living environment of the people by changing a home to smart home. Smart home is a connected home that connects all type of digital devices to communicate each other through the internet. These devices form a home area network where communications are enabled by different protocols. As these devices are designed by different...
Today digital images have possessed the position of the first simple analog photographs. The forgery of such images has turned out to be logically non-identifiable to the naked eyes and it is simple to do with the assistance of innovation of digital technology. Image splicing is a frequently utilized technique among the various kinds of image forgeries. So, this paper intends to offer a novel method...
Recent studies confirm that big data processing will be a leading trend in the next several years in the biomedical field. Technical advancements in the field of medicine and life science demand for high storage and processing power. This paper presents an exploratory study on big data processing from a biomedical informatics perspective. In an attempt to perform this task, two case studies are considered...
The remote sensing image technology is growing for the satellite communications. Due to huge size of the satellite image data, there is an overhead in terms of storage capacity, power consumption for the transmission so this is the major challenge in this field. To overcome these issues in this work we have proposed lifting scheme based image compression. The proposed architecture is multiplier-less,...
Characterized by transient, sudden and recurrent electrical disturbances in the cortical regions of the brain, epilepsy can be mentioned as one of the most common neurological disorders. Certain disorders in the nervous systems also cause this fatal condition epilepsy. The activities of the brain can be monitored through Electroencephalogram (EEG) and thus it has become a vital tool for the analysis...
Nowadays almost all highways toll plazas are manually operated, where an operator collects cash from the driver and provides a receipt. Since this procedure can be slow, we often encounter traffic jams at the toll plazas on busy highways. Automatic process of toll collection will save time, effort, and man power. In this work propose a low cost and efficient technique called Electronic Toll Collection...
This research work reports a systematic analysis of association of age with academic performance in a higher education institution. The correlation coefficient between key parameters of the student data were absorbed to derive the attributes that contributed strong positive influence on student results and also to identify the attributes that donated a negative impact. Further, a predictive model...
The impact of big data although being very insubstantial in its inception however has gradually originated to make significant contributions to variety of spheres of life. Development of smart cities, big data in e-business, big data in health care sector, big data in environmental sciences and implementation of Big Data in other areas has indisputably revealed to critics what can be achieved by Big...
