FOREWORD
n behalf of all the co-chairs, it gives me great pleasure to welcome all guests, speakers and delegates to Kuala Lumpur to attend the 4th International Symposium on Information Technology (ITSim10), in part of the World Engineering, Science & Technology Congress (ESTCON2010). This fourth ITSim symposium is hosted by Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP), co-host with Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) and jointly organized by 18 public and private universities in Malaysia. ITSim10 is also co-sponsored technically by the Institute of the Electronic Electrical Engineers (IEEE) with seven professors from Malaysia, the United Kingdom, Australia, Thailand and the United States being the co-chairs. The aim of this symposium is to provide an excellent platform for professionals, engineers, academicians and practitioners worldwide to share and exchange research knowledge and ideas in technologies and applications in the field of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). With the theme being Sustainable Informatics and Engineering: Harmonising Human and Natural Ecosystem and more than 300 papers presented, ITSim10 promises a wide variety of topics which reflect and contribute to a paradigm shift towards sustainable energy, human and ecosystem supporting the values of human life and activities in the global and social perspective. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the plenary speakers, workshop presenters and all participants who take part in this event. It is our hope that this conference can help shape a community that will lead to greater research in the field of sustainable energy and ICT. For all the hard work and dedication, I would like to once again thank each and every one of you for your valuable contribution towards the success of this symposium, and wish you a professionally rewarding and socially enjoyable stay in Kuala Lumpur.

FOREWORD
n behalf of a dedicated team that organized this event, from both the public and private institutions of higher learning, locally and globally, I take great pleasure in welcoming all participants to the 4th International Symposium on Information Technology (ITSim10). ITSim10 this year has seen a tremendous change and growth in its organization, with joint collaboration from many more IT faculties of various public and private universities and colleges in the country, and co-sponsored by the Institute of the Electronic Electrical Engineers (IEEE) Computer Society, Institute of the Electronic Electrical Engineers (IEEE), MSC Malaysia (MDeC) and Malaysian Information Technology Society (MITS). This is an effort to bring together researchers and practitioners in this highly anticipated ICT event. ITSim10 with its theme Sustainable Informatics and Engineering: Harmonising Human and Natural Ecosystem is timely when the world research is changing and playing its part to conserve and maintain its balance in the ecosystem. ICT plays a big role in ensuring the sustainability of hardware and software systems which contributes to the development for the present without compromising the wellbeing of the future generation. Thinking of new methods and development of computer hardware and software systems brings breakthrough in terms of energy consumption and reusability. Let me take this opportunity to thank all the organizing committees from UTP and all the other IPTAs and IPTSs involved, program committees from universities in Asia, United States of America and Australia who have shown dedication in making this symposium a success. I would like to also thank the keynote speakers, workshop presenters and all participants who have made special effort to be here, making history in shaping, influencing and directing the future research and innovations in ICT. Last but not least, I would like to also convey a special thank you to all the sponsors who have kindly contributed to the symposium, making it a memorable one.

Computation of Emotions in Man and Machines
PROf. DR. PETER RObINsON University of Cambridge, Computer Laboratory, William Gates Building, 15 JJ Thomson Avenue, Madingley Road, Cambridge CB3 0FD, England T: +44 1223 334 637 F: +44 1223 334 678 E: pr at cl.cam.ac.uk
AbsTRACT The importance of emotional expression as part of human communication has been understood since the seventeenth century, and has been explored scientifically since Charles Darwin and others in the nineteenth century. Advances in computer technology now allow machines to recognise and express emotions, paving the way for improved humancomputer and human-human communications. This talk presents some recent advances in theories of emotion and affect, their embodiment in computational systems, the implications for general communications, and broader applications. Recent advances in Psychology have greatly improved our understanding of the role of affect in communication, perception, decision-making, attention and memory. At the same time, advances in technology mean that it is becoming possible for machines to sense, analyse and express emotions. We can now consider how these advances relate to each other and how they can be brought together to influence future research in perception, attention, learning, memory, communication, decision-making and other applications. The computation of emotions includes both expression and recognition, using channels such as facial expressions, nonverbal aspects of speech, posture, gestures and general behaviour. The combination of new results in psychology with new techniques of computation on new technologies will enable new applications in commerce, education, entertainment, security, therapy and everyday life. However, there are important issues of privacy and personal expression that must also be considered.
bIOgRAPhy PROF. DR. PETER ROBINSON is Professor of Computer Technology in the Computer Laboratory at the University of Cambridge, where he leads the Rainbow Research Group working on computer graphics and interaction. His research concerns problems at the boundary between people and computers. This involves investigating new technologies to enhance communication between computers and their users, and new applications to exploit these technologies. The main focus for this is human-computer interaction, where he has been leading work for some years on the use of video and paper as part of the user interface. The idea is to develop augmented environments in which everyday objects acquire computational properties through user interfaces based on video projection and digital cameras. Recent work has included desk-size projected displays and inference of users' mental states from facial expressions, speech, posture and gestures. [http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~pr10/general/]

business Transformation Driven by Environmental sustainability: a Critical Topic for Information systems and Multi-Disciplinary Research
PROf. DR. sTEVE ELLIOT Business Information Systems, Faculty of Economics & Business, The University of Sydney, NSW 2006 Australia. Room 433, Economics & Business Building (H69), Corner Rose & Codrington Sts, Darlington, NSW 2008 Australia T: +61 2 9036 9347 F: +61 2 9351 6638 E: s.elliot@econ.usyd.edu.au W: www.econ.usyd.edu.au/bis/
AbsTRACT An imperative for business transformation to achieve environmental sustainability is recognized by: the governments of 192 countries as signatories to the United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change; business thought leaders like Michael Porter; and by CEOs in global surveys by IBM and McKinsey rating this issue as one of their greatest challenges. Business leaders may proactively prepare their organizations for change or delay until legal directives are enacted, although delaying may not buy much time. Environmental legislation currently before the US Congress, could lead to profound changes in many sectors of the economy. Business opportunities will materialize through the process of transformation. Porter considers environmental sustainability has the potential to reshape the business world to the same degree as globalization and the Information Technology revolution and doubtless opportunities will similarly arise. A portfolio of current and emerging technologies is expected to play a significant role in transforming prevailing business practices, addressing many environmental problems, and generating new forms of wealth. Information Systems researchers have been called on undertake more high-visibility and high-impact research. To date, however, IS researchers have given little attention to the high-visibility, high impact challenges of environmental sustainability. This seminar aims to increase awareness and understanding of the potential roles of IS researchers and multi-disciplinary research teams as critical contributors to business transformation for environmental sustainability. A framework for relevant contributions is proposed.
bIOgRAPhy PROF. DR. STEVE ELLIOT is Professor of Business Information Systems at the University of Sydney, Australia. Previously, Steve had been Professor and Head of the School of Business, University of Newcastle and Director of the IT Research Centre at the University of New South Wales. Steve has extensive industry and international experience. His research work is directed toward the development of practice-based theory in the strategic management of technology-enabled business innovation. His multi-disciplinary research has been published in international journals, refereed conference proceedings and an internationally acclaimed book examining successful B2C electronic commerce initiatives in six countries. His research interests have been supported by grants from the Australian Research Council and from local and international corporate sponsorships. His current research projects focus on the development of strategic organisational capabilities for technology-enabled business innovation and on environmental sustainability as a driver of business transformation.

Mobile-based Interactive Learning using handwriting Recognition

Azam Zakaria, Wan Fatimah Wan Ahmad, Mohd Hilmi Hasan The number of smart phones being fitted with accelerometers and other motion sensitive sensors are increasing by time as the technologies continue to grow. Currently this sensor is used in providing physical gesture interaction in a gesture-based application or software. The function of this new extendibility in mobile phone can be practice in the lecture surrounding. For this research, it is to study the use of mobile phone in the learning environment and proposing interactive learning based on handwriting recognition. It will create a new way of interaction during lecture session involving the mobile phone by using the gesture applied on it to be recognized as the handwriting recognition. Motion will be applied on the phone as the medium of interaction between the lecturer and the student where the gesture applied will be recognized and projected on the lecture halls screen. Thus, it is believed to help the lectures to be more interactive with the students and create a new way of learning in a lecture environment.

balancing between usability and Aesthetics of Web Design

Umi Kalsom Yusof, Leng Khang Khaw, Hui Yang Chng, Boon Jiann Neow Web visual aesthetics and its usability play very important roles in determining the success of the Website. It is difficult to decide which aspect needs to be given more attention when it comes to designing a Website as aesthetics is focusing on the look and feel while usability is stressing on its functionalities. There is no perfect answer which aspects of the Web design are more important than the others. In addition, it is also difficult to have a balance of these two seemingly contrary objectives of Web design. This research focuses on how to balance the aesthetics design and the usability of Web design. This study also investigates methods to evaluate Web pages usability and aesthetic appeal, the role of these two aspects play in the Website design and also the relationship between these two aspects. The results of study provide a tangible concept on how the Web usability and the Web aesthetics design affect each other and methods to balance between the Web usability and aesthetics design. The contribution of this paper is to provide guiding principle to the Website developer in order to develop a Website which is well-balance in usability as well as its aesthetics aspect.

Multimedia Learning system (MMLs): Valuing the significance of Cognitive Task Analysis Technique and user Interface Design
Norain Mohd Yusoff, Chui Yin Wong
This paper presents a development of e-Learning System and significant contributions of task analysis and user interface design elements for the deployment of a novel Multimedia Learning System (MMLS). An overview of MMLS starting from the content development flow to the implementation stage is discussed in details. This project is currently being deployed at the Multimedia University (MMU) Malaysia. Adobe Dreamweaver and Adobe Flash were used by the teaching staff to develop the interactive learning environment within the two campuses in MMU. Cognitive Task Analysis (CTA) is introduced as a means of capturing the psychological complexity of tasks that involved significant cognitive activities such as planning, diagnosis and decision-making during the human-system interaction design process. Human Factors approach (i.e. effectiveness and efficiency) and Design approach (i.e. affect and hedonistic qualities of products) are also identified as factors contributing to the development of MMLS. This paper concludes that MMLS is able to increase efficiency, and empowers a geographically and temporally dispersed group of educators, administrators, and students to participate in a dynamic learning organization. Hence, looking at these two contributing factors, MMU is also gearing towards a more dynamic educational environment by offering the MMLS as a feasible alternative learning system in both campuses.
Investigation of fingertip blobs on Optical Multi-touch screen

Ahsanullah Abro, Ahmad Mahmood, Suziah Sulaiman Recently, multi-touch tabletop displays provided the Natural User Interface (NUI). Humans use the bare finger as a pointing device for manipulation of interactive elements on multi-touch surface. However, fingertip size occupies the large space instead of appropriate target point and creates ambiguity in touch detection. To overcome issue possibly, we develop an optical multi-touch screen using the Frustrated Total Internal Reflection (FTIR) sensing technique for investigation of the fingertip blobs. In order to conduct the experiment we specify the interaction mechanism which provides the stability in finger touch detection. When users touch with the multi-touch screen using their fingers, we obtain the fingertip blobs that are used for investigation. We take each fingertip blob as an image and compute its relative pixel intensity values using the image processing tool. The investigation exhibits the variation in pixel values each fingertip blobs. The unit variance in intensity of pixel values helps in identifying the error rate in finger touch detection. The study identifies the factors that generate the error rate and ambiguity in finger touch detection. Our study may support for avoiding the error rate and enhancing the finger touch detection. It may also helpful for achieving the accuracy in finger touch detection and for designing and implementing the interactive elements for multi-touch screens.

Design and Implementation of Multi-Touch system using fTIR Technique for Optimization of finger Touch Detection
Ahsanullah Abro, Ahmad Mahmood, Suziah Sulaiman In recent years, multi-touch screens are emerging and seem to be ubiquitous in near future. The intuitive surfaces provide collaborative workspace for users to perform natural style of multi-touch interaction simultaneously. Users can access the interactive elements such as WIMP (window, icon, menus and pointing) using their bare fingers. At the same time multitouch screens have ambiguity in multiple finger touch detection. Users acquire the accuracy in the fingers touch detection during the selection of interactive elements. In order to optimize the multiple finger touch detection, we propose the system and its architecture using the Frustrated Total Internal Reflection (FTIR) sensing technique. The system surface is improved by superimposing the transparent layers on acrylic surface. In addition, we modify the architecture of multi-touch surface by configuring the infrared light emitting diodes against the clean edges of acrylic surface. In order to test the system we conduct the experiment by involving the subjects and investigate the quality of fingertip blobs. The proposed system may increase the image quality of fingertip blobs which may
help in achieving the fidelity for sensing the multiple fingers on interactive surface.

Exploring the Quantitative and Qualitative Measures for haptic systems

Muzafar Khan, Suziah Sulaiman, Abas Md Said, Muhammad Tahir
Haptic systems are widely used in different domains for various purposes such as rehabilitation, surgery, training, games, and industrial design. To improve the performance of haptic systems and users (using these systems), evaluation plays an important role. Experiments and user testing are common approaches to evaluate these systems. In this paper, an overview of haptic systems evaluation and users workload measurements is provided. It presents that the evaluation of these systems depends upon different aspects which include devices, haptic rendering algorithms, applications and users. In various studies, these aspects have been evaluated but are specific to different haptic devices and applications. This paper represents an overview of these aspects and highlights the need of generic techniques. We propose a preliminary conceptual framework that 1) may provide structured approach towards developing generic technique(s) and 2) can possibly help to evaluate haptic systems and user workload together.

graphical Interface for gene Network Inference Application

Suhaila Zainudin, Sim Kah Wei, Safaai Deris A gene network shows the interactions between genes. Previous research has successfully infer gene network from microarray gene expression data using techniques from diverse fields such as pattern detection, machine learning and data mining. In this research, we applied the statistical language R for gene network inference. R provides statistical language and programming environment for statistical computing and graphics. We observed that R only provides command line interface with basic comand buttons. Hence, we built a gene network inference application with Microsoft Visual C# as the visual front-end and R as the back-end for novice R users who are interested to use our gene network inference tool. Th application has tabs which represents each phase of our inference methodology. Each time a user select and click, the command wil be executed through the visual interface. Therefore, users no longer need to use the command line. The inference of gene network from gene expression data is useful for predicting relationships between genes. Gene network inference is important because it

Agent-based Monitoring of Virtual Machines

Anas Ayad, Uwe Dippel One of the main benefits of deploying system virtualization technology is the isolation provided by the virtualization platform. The virtualization layer encapsulates the guest system state in a way that renders it difficult to be aware of the internal state of the guests. This knowledge gap or lack of the higher knowledge is known as Semantic Gap. In this paper, an agentbased monitoring system will be described as a new technique to at least partially bridge the Semantic Gap between the host machine and the virtual guests. It also controls a pool of scheduled backups of the running virtual machines.

unifying Multimedia Player and Presentation system with Optimizing Dual-Display feature
Rustam Asnawi, Wan Fatimah Wan Ahmad, Dayang Rohaya Awang Rambli In the future, utilization of dual display tends to be more popular. Optimizing the use of this feature, and designing a specific control panel user interface (UI), provide a possibility to develop an application that is able to unify the behavior of PC based multimedia player and presentation system. Since the view of the control panel and its output display occupied a different monitor, it is possible to create a single-compact control panel UI. Each multimedia element (video, image, slide, animation) have a particular controller and to be integrated in one window. This paper presents the Integrated Multimedia Player (IMPlayer) an application that has been developed based on channel controller model and exploits the dual-display feature. We examined that the IMPlayer has inherent double function i.e. as multimedia player and presentation system simultaneously. Lastly, the IMplayer can unify the behavior of multimedia player and presentation system in single application.
Evaluation Method of Malaysian university Website Quality: hybrid Method Approach

Dhanapal Dominic, Handaru Jati In recent years, many people have devoted their efforts to the issue of quality of Web site. The concept of quality is consisting of many criteria: quality of service perspective, a user perspective, a content perspective or indeed a usability perspective. Because of its possible instant worldwide audience a Websites quality and reliability are crucial.

This research suggests a concept of virtual heritage experience within the field of architecture in a collaborative virtual environment. A realtime virtual reality application is adopted based on the fundamentals of virtual heritage metadata structure suggested by the UNESCO guidelines that encompassed both cultural and natural heritage of a digital dataset and are thus useful as a starting point for most virtual heritage application. This paper focuses on the technical challenges and requirement particularly on the optimization of modeling for real-time visualization to represent heritage buildings of the preindependence period in architecture built within the period of 80 to 200 years. This e-Content Fund research awarded by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) Malaysian named e-Warisan SENIBINA will demonstrate the early finding results of two shortlisted buildings that influenced the direction of traditional Malay Muslim architecture in Peninsular Malaysia.
As sketchy As Possible: Application Programming Interface (API) for sketch-based user Interface
Chan Yet Lai, M. Nordin Zakaria This paper proposed an Application Programming Interface (API) for sketch-based user interface. A recent research direction in modeling interfaces is to automate or assist the sketch-to-3D translation process. This trend, known as sketchbased interfaces for modeling, is motivated by the ease of sketching and the ability of human viewers to imbue so much meaning into a sketch. In sketch-based user interface, user expresses visual ideas or messages as freeform strokes on penbased systems, and the computer takes appropriate action by analyzing the perceptual features of the strokes. Although sketch-based system is powerful, it came with the cost of code complexity. The two main contributors to code complexity are: pen-tablet display and the difficulties in interpreting the sketches. This paper proposed a sketch-based API to reduce the code complexity in sketch-based user interface application.

flight Connections Multi-leg searching by Adopting Partial Constraint satisfaction

Siti Zarinah Mohd Yusof, Vijanth Sagayan A/L Asirvadam, Mohd Fadzil Hassan This research explains about the development of flight connections multi-leg searching that applies the concept of graph theory and Partial Constraint Satisfaction Problem (Partial CSP). Current practices of information retrieval for flight connections usually provide the user with only a leg of network which restricted the scope of information that user could retrieve in planning their flight itinerary. This research is aimed to develop a flight connections searching system that able to advice user with suggestion of broader destination network for their itinerary and the suggested destinations are selected based on Partial CSP technique. Instead of using Constraint Satisfaction technique, Partial CSP has been proposed to be implemented in this research as its approach could solve over-constrained problem. A web-based prototype has been developed to explain the concept of multi-leg searching and the development will be continued by adopting Partial CSP in future works.

knowledge Management based Integration of heterogeneous healthcare systems in Malaysia

Intan Najua Kamal Nasir, Dhanapal Dominic
Applying Knowledge Management (KM) in healthcare system is nothing-supernatural constituent. Years of research and effort to implement KM been executed and it can be conclude that KM provides promising approach to a successful healthcare knowledge management system. KM allows sharing of healthcare information between medical practitioners regardless of place and time. A clear and systematic framework to motivate sharing and exchange of healthcare knowledge among different institutions remains a challenge. Prior to the application of integration system, it is crucial to prepare platforms and human resources that are well inform and prepare to adopt such system. Current healthcare system (in Malaysia) are not fairly distributed and not standardized. Some of the hospitals deploys hospital system while others not. In addition to that, the system deployed is different from each other in many aspects. Hence, the aim of this paper is to suggest KM approach in facilitating the organization of healthcare data, information and knowledge for better retrieval process to support knowledge sharing. As the result, we add in the importance differentiate between good knowledge and bad knowledge to ensure the provided knowledge is in the right format to the right person at the right time.

using Educational games in Learning Introductory Programming: A Pilot study on students Perceptions
Roslina Ibrahim, Azizah Jaafar
Studies of using games for learning have being widely discussed in various literatures. This is due to believes that educational games can offer many learning benefits such as highly motivated, engaging and fun. Learning Programming requires many skills such as logical thinking and problem solving as well as understanding of abstract concepts. As a result, many students found that Programming is a challenging subject which resulted in low motivation to study the subject. Thus, it is worth to study how educational games help to enhance our students learning attitude towards Programming. This paper will discuss our pilot study of students perceptions towards using educational games as their learning medium. Findings indicated that the attitude of most students are positive and they are also more motivated to learn Programming by using games compared to conventional method. Hopefully, this research provides some insights to understand our students perceptions regarding educational games usage in their learning. ITSO3_T5_2

fPgA Implementation of Pipelined 2D-DCT and Quantization Architecture for JPEg Image Compression
Enas Dhuri Kusuma,Thomas Sri Widodo
Two dimensional DCT takes important role in JPEG image compression. Architecture and VHDL design of 2-D DCT, combined with quantization and zig-zag arrangement, is described in this paper. The architecture is used in JPEG image compression. DCT calculation used in this paper is made using scaled DCT. The output of DCT module needs to be multiplied with post-scaler value to get the real DCT coefficients. Post-scaling process is done together with quantization process. 2-D DCT is computed by combining two 1-D DCT that connected by a transpose buffer. This design aimed to be implemented in cheap Spartan-3E XC3S500 FPGA. The 2-D DCT architecture uses 3174 gates, 1145 Slices, 21 I/O pins, and 11 multipliers of one Xilinx Spartan-3E XC3S500E FPGA and reaches an operating frequency of 84.81 MHz.

Rozita Kadar, Shahida Sulaiman
Many techniques and tools have been developed to improve program comprehension but most tools are unsuitable for novices. Some tools are not user friendly, some designs are more suitable to expert programmers and some integrated development environments (IDEs) are very simple and fail to support program comprehension needs among the users. These factors hinder the learning process and may become obstacles to users who have no programming background. This paper attempts to improve program comprehension by using Zoom Visual Flow (ZViF) technique that represents source code in graphical views. It also gives some insights on how to improve visual presentation method in a program editor or an IDE. Lab experiments were conducted to determine the effectiveness of the technique. The

Tsamrul Fuad, Imas Sukaesih Sitanggang, Annisa In the previous work we developed the web-based OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) integrated with the data warehouse for hotspot data in Indonesia. This work aims to develop a visualization module for hotspot clusters resulted from OLAP operations including roll up and drill down. The data warehouse consists of hotspot data represented in multidimensional model with two dimensions: time and location. In the dimension time, the ordered sequence of elements from the higher-level of hierarchy to the lowest is from year, quarter, to month. Whereas the sequence in the dimension location is from island, province, to district. The clustering algorithm we applied was K-means in which the best clustering was obtained for the size of cluster 4 with average value of SSE (sum of square error) 0.2944 for combinations of elements in the dimension time and location. Hotspot clusters are visualized in form of maps in addition to crosstabs and graphics built in the previous work. The map module in the web-based OLAP can be used to better organize and analyze the hotspot data as one of indicators for forest fires occurrence in Indonesia.

Compacted Dither Pattern Codes Versus Principal Component Analysis in Video Visual Depiction
Lochandaka Ranathunga, Roziati Zainuddin, Nor Aniza Abdullah Requirement of reduction of feature space of visual descriptors gets attention due to negative effects of high dimensional feature space. This paper reports the performance of Compacted Dither Pattern Code (CDPC) over Principal Component Analysis (PCA) based compact colour descriptor. There are several competitive advantages of CDPC in feature extraction and classification stages when compared to PCA feature vectors. The embedded texel properties, spatial colour arrangements, high compactness, and robust feature representation of CDPC have proven its performances in our experimental study. Visual description experiments were conducted for ten irregular shapes based visual concepts in videos with three setups namely CDPC with Bhattacharyya classifier, PCA with Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier and PCA with Bhattacharyya classifier. The experimental results were presented based on three common performance measures. The results depict that CDPC with Bhattacharyya classifier provides a good generalized performance for irregular shape based visual description as compared to the other two experimental setups.

Visualizing the Design Pattern Interaction Role

Keen Ngee Loo, Sai Peck Lee Designing software involves thinking about the solution for a design problem. Some of the ideas of design solution are captured in the form of descriptions and structures in design pattern. However, there is not much visual aid on the behaviour of a design pattern in a visual design modeling tool. Currently it is difficult to determine the design pattern roles and the interaction variants of a design pattern in an UML diagram as the design pattern information is not represented. This paper proposes a method to define and visualize the pattern roles and its interaction variants by extending the UML sequence diagram via UML Profile. An illustration of the usage of the extension is then shown for the observer design pattern. The benefit of the extension enables tool support on cataloging and retrieval of design patterns structural, behavioral information and variants in a visual design modeling tool.
Improving a Web Application using Design Patterns: A Case study

Phek Lan Thung, Chu Jian Ng, Swee Jing Thung, Shahida Sulaiman
Adopting design pattern while designing web applications can promote reusability and consistency of the web application. Without the adoption of design patterns or wrong selection of them will make the development of web application more complex and hard to be maintained. Thus knowledge in design patterns is essential in selecting the most appropriate patterns in the web applications development. Unfortunately, the ability of developers in applying design pattern is undetermined. The good practice of using design patterns is encouraged and efforts have to be taken to enhance the knowledge on design pattern. This paper analyses and compares a number of design patterns focusing on architectural and navigational design patterns for general features in web applications. Finally, we discuss a case study of our schools website and propose several design patterns to enhance the usability of the website.

In order to achieve this, we proposed a greedy constructive heuristic algorithm based on the idea of generating the most required shift patterns first to solve the nurse rostering problem at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Center (UKMMC). That is, this approach attempt to reduce the complexity of the solution search space by generates all allowed two-day and three-day shift patterns to build up the roster. We then use simulated annealing algorithm to improve the quality of the roster. The resulting roster demonstrates that our proposed approach generates a good quality roster in a reasonable time for our case study.

A big challenge in many face detection applications is how well faces can be reliably detected. An increasing number of algorithms have been published and many such face detectors have been made publicly available in the form of open source applications, such as the OpenCV classifiers. In this work, we attempt to compare four frontal face OpenCV classifiers and determine the most fit for adoption in personage detector. We focus on frontal view following the experts rule of thumb when looking for any person of interest in an image. We chose AdaBoost classifiers because AdaBoost algorithm often results in improved performance. We measured the classifiers performance on the accuracy in terms of recall, precision and harmonic mean. We performed testing over four heterogeneous datasets to obtain a reasonably accurate estimation of the performance of the classifiers that will help us in identifying the most suitable classifier meeting our needs.

Locating geometrical Descriptors for hand biometrics in a Contactless Environment

Goh Kah Ong Michael, Tee Connie, Andrew Teoh Beng Jin, Siong Hoe Lau This paper proposes an innovative contactless hand geometry recognition system. We present a novel hand tracking approach to automatically detect and capture the geometrical features of the hand from low resolution video stream. No constraint is imposed and the subject can place his/her hand naturally on top of the sensor without touching any device. Conventional hand geometry systems require fairly precise positioning of the hand in order to obtain accurate measures of the hand. However, the proposed contactless approach does not fix any guidance pegs to help placing the hand at the right position when the image is acquired. As a result, the hand image may appear larger when the hand is placed near the sensor, and vice versa. Besides, the hand can be positioned at different angles. In other words, there is no way to obtain standard and constant hand measurements from this contactless setting. This research aims to deal with this complication when we have to get accurate measurements of the hand from images with varying sizes and directed at different orientations. Experiments show that our proposed method offers promising result for hand geometry recognition in a real-time contactless environment.

A study and Result of Image Processing Visualising Topology Algorithm based on satellite geographical Data
Tew Yiqi, Ahmed Moosajee Patel, Christopher Wills The performance of processing and visualizing techniques in present satellite receiving systems is not very well developed for the benefit of end users, especially for critical observation and analysis purpose. Currently, the existing satellite receiving system uses an enclosed method to process the incoming data which requires the whole packet of earth globe data to be fully received before retrieving geographical information and only allows the display of this data as a normal image file which cannot be further processed for better visualising purpose. To overcome this problem, we have devised an integrated software application with a smart visualisation topology algorithm embedded to provide the flexibility on data merging capable of displaying in different overlays. The benefit of this data combination is to allow users to directly evaluate the geographical data in user determined visual mode. It also has the capability to provide information for historical reporting and forecasting purpose in real time scheduled operation. The initial result reported in this paper shows that a better and faster way to visualise data at almost the same time as it is received is possible using the adapted algorithm.

The existence of state-of-the art mapping tools facilitate in finding correspondences between ontology entities. COMA++ among others is a tool that accommodates both schemas and ontologies matching with additional enhancements and provides a platform to evaluate different match algorithms. COMA++ is asserted to be a useful support tool due to its availability online, capability to integrate large variety of similarity algorithms and feasibility for complex metadata management problems. Thus, COMA++ is chosen in this study based on the input type, output type, interaction and availability. The findings show that COMA++ is an efficient tool in finding similarity between schemas in terms of element and structural aspects with its single hybrid matchers and combination matchers. However, there are several limitations identified during the experiments that drive this study for further enhancement to be carried out in the future to test its true potential.

Juhana Salim, Ahmad Bazli Arifin, Onn Azraai Puade
The Internet has grown to be one of the most effective means for tourists to seek information and purchase tourismrelated products. Realizing the potential of Internet, PDA offersinformation seeking and connectivity to internet everywhere and anytime. Very often, tourists conduct information search in their vacation planning process by visiting travel related websites. Research had shown that tourism websites play an indispensable role in peoples traveling decisionmaking before their departure. However, the use of mobile device is not without problems. Searching information through a page using a PDA is a complex task; users are prone to incorrect selections and scroll up and down most of the time. Information from tourism websites not always meet the tourist expectations and needs. The travel information searchers need to navigate through the travel information space on the Internet in order to obtain relevant information. Although PDA assists and offer tourist easy access to information, much of the information needs of tourist is not met. This research aims to design and develop a Mobile Tourism Directory (MTD) to assist tourist in information seeking and searching through mobile phone or PDA. MTD will help tourist access information by connecting tourist to the relevant databases using mobile phone or PDA anywhere and anytime. MTD will be developed according to Logical User-Centered Interaction Design (LUCID) methodology. Key elements in this research include qualitative analysis of users specific requirements, comparative evaluation of various visualization techniques for handheld devices, and users interaction and navigation on small screen display. The MTD can be maintained by using web based online databases which provide information needed by tourist such as accommodation, places of interest, transportation, travel and destination organizations. Another important component of this research involves indexing tourist based company information which can help tourist to effectively access relevant information. The proposed system will integrate the use of visual representation of data which can amplify cognition and reduce cognitive load. This paper reports on early development stages of MTD and the dimensions of result expected from the evaluation of the survey instrument.

Khairuddin Kamaludin, Noor Faezah Mohd Yatim, Md. Jan Nordin This paper reviews the elements on accessibility issues in e-learning for individual with visual impairment. With current approaches to accessibility are related to technical perspective, this paper examined the fundamental elements on technical accessibility. When physical characteristic of visual impairment affecting user task and ability, it is suggested that learning perspective should be defined by their ability and performance in task, rather than looking at technical accessibility only. The limitation in task and ability leads to accessibility issues in learning process for user with visual impairment. This paper proposed the accessibility requirement for user with visual impairment should be defined by combining both issues of technical and learning accessibility that based on user task and ability. Technical accessibility may relate to individual physical impairment, but learning accessibility should focus on user ability to perform task related to cognitive, perceptual and psychomotor.

Mathematical knowledge Representation for Education semantic Web based on Learning style
Ili Farhana Md Mahtar, Nor Azan Haji Mat Zin The ontology language RDFS and OWL are widely used in education semantic web but are limited in their mathematical expressivity. To represent the mathematical knowledge while preserving the semantic, Open Mathematical Document (OMDoc) is used as an ontology language. OMDoc is a contentbased markup which focuses on representing the semantic of mathematical formulae instead of the formulae appearance. Previous researchers have demonstrated that learning style in education is effective in helping the learning process. In this research, we represent the mathematical knowledge using OMDoc format an create learning style ontology as a metadata. In metadata annotation, we use new metadata framework for OMDoc. By embedding learning style metadata, the formal semantic of metadata vocabularies is made available to OMDoc applications. We also transformed OMDoc files into HTML files.

Rohiza Ahmad, Aliza Sarlan, Khairul Aiman Ab Maulod, Eliza Mazmee Mazlan, Rozana Kasbon Due to the wide usage of mobile phones, many software developers have make use of the device to be the platform for their applications. This move is especially crucial when the applications are to be made available anytime, anywhere. In this paper the development of a mobile application for administering the final examination exercise of a Malaysian private university using mobile phones is presented. Problems such as change of venue or time of the exams at the last minutes that cause confusion to both students and invigilators warrant the development of Final Exam Timetable Information Retrieval System that can be accessible anytime and anywhere. The results from user evaluations after the completion of FETIDS show that the system is acceptable by users. Hence, the framework and development process of the application can be adapted when developing other similar type of mobile applications.

Holistic Islamic Banking System (HiCORE) is a virtual multi-tiered system adopting the Services Orientation Architecture (SOA) and parameter driven modules to create new Islamic banking products based on Syariah laws. Islamic banking or Islamic finance reflects banking or financial business that is not contradictory to the principles of Islamic law. This is statutorily mentioned in both the Islamic Banking Act 1983 and the Banking and Financial Institutions Act 1989. In Malaysia, for the creation of Islamic banking products, flexibility is given to practitioners, regulators and Syariah advisors to create and introduce unlimited Islamic banking products to support Islamic banking business. If in the conventional manner, banks may take at least six months for new Islamic products to be created, HiCORE can ensure the possibility of creating an Islamic product at less than a quarter of the time span taken or less (taking into consideration that all policies and processes needed to carry out the transactions are in place). HiCORE went through the normal evaluation process: unit testing, System Integration Test (SIT) and User Acceptance Test (UAT). This paper highlights the latter but unique to the testing of HiCORE, as the UAT is conducted by a Panel of Experts, represented by 15 members from the Islamic Banking industry in the country. Generally, results of the UAT conducted, indicated positive results by the panel of experts. However, there were some specific features and

Evaluating the Accessibility and Visibility of Quranic Websites

Ahmad Bakeri Abu Bakar
With the introduction of the World Wide Web and graphical browsers in the 1990s the Internet has become widely accessible and many people have grabbed the idea of using it for their multifarious purposes and agenda. They have established all types of websites to foster their mission and visions. They recognize that Internet can enhance their scale of communication through the websites as the Internet is capable of delivering large quantities of information in a speedy manner to the public. It is not surprising therefore that Muslims believe that the websites are the most useful platform to disseminate Islamic knowledge and information. The most important website that Muslims interact with is the Holy Quran website. Higher quality websites tend to attract more links and rendered those websites as highly visible. Using a software, Alexa, it is possible to gauge the volume of web traffic in order to determine the visibility of the website. In this paper Alexa is applied to study the visibility of Quranic websites. Nine quranic websites were investigated. It was found that the website, almushaf.com is the most visible website. It is futile to have a website that is difficult to access by users owing to non compliance with the accessibility guidelines. To check whether a particular Al-Quran website conforms or not to the accessible guidelines a software, A-Prompt could be used. The A-Prompt is able to examine the Al-Quran websites for barriers to accessibility, and at the same time is able to perform automatic repairs of the respective websites. Applying A-Prompt it was found that the most inaccessible website is the qurancomplex.org. ITSO7_T1_2

Investigating the Redundancy Effect in Multimedia Learning on a Computer science Domain

Riaza Mohd Rias, Halimah Badioze Zaman This paper looks at Mayers theory on the redundancy principle and applies this theory on a computer science domain. This principle states that students learn better from animation and narration than from animation, narration, and text. The topic is on memory management in the subject of operating system concepts. In a series of two experimental studies, a total of 36 students took part in this experiment where these students were divided into two groups. The first group learned the module containing materials with only animation and narration. The second group of students viewed materials with animation, narration and text. The students who had no prior knowledge on the subject where given a test on recall and transfer knowledge after viewing the treatments. This paper reports the results of the experiment which may provide useful guidance for instructional designers specifically in the area of computer science.

Wi-fi Load balancing using Cognitive Radio Techniques

Rafiza Ruslan, Tat-Chee Wan The current growth of IEEE 802.11 WLAN brings the need to apply intelligent load balancing techniques in order to optimize the overall network performance. Recent studies on WLAN have shown that access points (AP) load is often uneven. To avoid this situation, several load balancing scheme have been proposed. In this paper, we proposed a new AP-driven load balancing scheme which utilizes the capabilities of cognitive radio (CR) techniques based on cell breathing. The CR incorporates fuzzy controller to decide on the transmission power level. Adjusting of transmission power enables the AP to dynamically modify its cell boundaries in order to balance the AP load.

With current approaches to accessibility are related to technical perspective, this paper examined the fundamental elements on technical accessibility. When physical characteristic of visual impairment affecting user task and ability, it is suggested that learning perspective should be defined by their ability and performance in task, rather than looking at technical accessibility only. The limitation in task and ability leads to accessibility issues in learning process for user with visual impairment. This paper proposed the accessibility requirement for user with visual impairment should be defined by combining both issues of technical and learning accessibility that based on user task and ability. Technical accessibility may relate to individual physical impairment, but learning accessibility should focus on user ability to perform task related to cognitive, perceptual and psychomotor.

A Preliminary study on the Implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning in Malaysian Private higher Institution-A Case study
Raja Mohd Tariqi Raja Lope Ahmad, Zalinda Othman, Muriati Mokhtar Institutions of Higher education are facing a challenging environment which demands an integration of business processes. Most institutions are facing reduced budgets, yet at the same time they have an increased need for technology and business services. They had experienced the rapid development of typical and complex technology over the past several years. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is one particular type of business technology that is rapidly catching the attention of the institutions of higher education for the administrative and academic functions. This system is complex, expensive and usually requires changes in the organizational culture in order to be implemented successfully. The complexity and comprehensiveness of ERP systems encompasses virtually every aspect of what organizations do today. ERP systems support most industries including airlines, banking, hospitality, insurance, manufacturing, retail, telecommunications, utilities, public services and education. Beside its success and usefulness, the cost of implementing ERP is high. Without a solid history of successes and failures, implementers are at a disadvantage in knowing how best to implement ERP systems so that they will provide operational and strategic benefits to their owners. This makes the task of implementing these systems

An evaluation of the usage of Web 2.0 among tertiary level students in Malaysia
Kamaluddeen Usman Danyaro, Rod De Lara, Jafreezal Jaafar Web 2.0 is increasingly becoming a tool of pedagogy that increases interactions between educators and learners. This leveraging power of Web 2.0 in academy allows students to share, collaborate or participate in developing scientific thinking or critical thinking skills. While, at the same time, increasing the rate of plagiarism, cyber-bullying, privacy abuse and other Internet problems. This research evaluated the patterns of Web 2.0 usage and academic behavior among students at tertiary institutions with a case study of KDU College students. The researchers collected data by administering a questionnaire to 92 students. Data were analyzed using histogram, frequency and charts. Authors used Deci and Ryans Self-Determination Theory (SDT) to assess academic behavior. We found that most of the students use social Websites for chatting, gaming and sharing contents. Students use Facebook, YouTube and Wikipedia for social interactions, downloading and remixing videos/audio, and research/assignments more often respectively. The choice of acknowledging students feeling and social activities was the adopted strategy for enhancing the students autonomy. It is also found that students feel competent during e-learning activities which lead to the observation in assigning students with work or research with proper feedback. We further found that students were having fun, during their social interaction. Further, there is a presence of independence due to the nature of their participation; students like to study alone. Implications for academic learning and interaction are discussed. Web 2.0 support traditional learning such as constructivism and also creates new learning methodologies like connectivism and collective intelligence. The cognitive development structures depend on the intrinsic behavior of students through dynamic expression and demographic features. Its very trivial to set up Web 2.0 services among tertiary level students, but the pedagogical and moral justification most be considered.
If Professors knew What They know: A Model for Capturing university Teachers Tacit knowledge of students supervision
Ibraheem M. Dooba, Alan G. Downe, Ahmad Kamil Mahmood Research indicates that conflict happens in graduate student and faculty supervisor relationships. Some of these conflicts are resolved through dialogue and arbitration. Others lead to termination of studentships and change of supervisor. Yet some faculty have conflict-free supervisory relationships with their students. In both cases the supervisors concerned hold distinct tacit knowledge about the strategies and techniques they used or would have used in resolving such problems. Significant as this knowledge may seem, paucity of research exists to capture the supervisory knowledge. To address this gap, we introduced a technique to capture facultys tacit knowledge on graduate students supervision. In doing so, we hope that the technique would benefit fellow supervisors and newly recruited faculty members to avoid supervisory breakdown and to minimize error.

Cik Nora Salleh, Yazrina Yahya The success of electronic government initiative depends on many factors, among other is critical success factor (CSF). CSF refers to the limited number of areas in which satisfactory results will ensure successful competitive performance for the individual, department or organization [1]. It had been used significantly to present or identify a few key factors that organizations should focus on in order to be successful. CSF can be categorized into groups of factor such as human factors, technology, culture and infrastructure. Based on analysis conducted there are many CSF available to aid in the e-Government system development. However available CSF does not promote the value-in-use element as such current systems developed using the existing CSF are lacked in the value-in-use aspect. Value-in-use is the satisfaction of wants and needs provided by the direct consumption of goods and services [15]. Value in use should be contrasted with the similar phrase, value in exchange [15]. This research will indentify the CSF in terms of co-creation value between system provider and the customer. The Service Dominant Logic (S-D Logic) and co-creation value insights will be used to establish co-creation value CSFs and therefore it will aid the system development by ensuring the value-in-use is embedded in the system.

Application of Clickstream Analysis as Web Page Importance Metric in Parallel Crawlers

Ali Selamat, Fatemeh Ahmadi-Abkenari Employing a parallel crawler as a multiple processes crawler causes different issues of concern in comparison to applying a single-process crawler. These issues impact on achieving the results with higher or even the same quality from a parallel crawler in comparison to a centralized one. Existed parallel crawlers architectures employ link dependent metrics such as Backlink count or PageRank - for URL importance determination in order to prioritize the queue of each process. Then the specific number of the most important pages is sent to the index section of the crawler for further processing on their content. Application of metrics with link dependent nature causes considerable overhead on the overall parallel crawler resulted from the link information exchange among different processes. In this paper we propose the application of clickstream analysis as a link independent Web page importance metric in a parallel crawler. Our approach includes proposing an algorithm for a balanced performance of different processes within a parallel crawler which results in the discovery of higher quality pages by the overall parallel crawler with less overhead in comparison to a centralized crawler which employs link dependent metrics of importance.

Evaluation of Real-Time Visio-haptic Deformable bovine Rectal Palpation simulator

Irshad Ahmad, Suziah Sulaiman
A real-time Visio-haptic Bovine Rectal Palpation Simulator for training veterinary students was developed. The simulator was meant for training medical veterinary students before they could actually perform diagnosis of various parts of the reproductive tract on live animals. In this simulator the teacher guides the student in applying forces using force feedback device, when palpating different parts of the reproductive system. The teacher can better guide the student if he can see visually forces applied by the student. The implementation proposed is motivated by an existing simulator of a reproductive system used for diagnosing different internal parts which lacks visual deformation features; hence, realism is reduced. In this work, two simulators were used. One with visual deformation and other without visual deformation. The results gather from various experiments by trainees shown that a simulator with visual deformation can better and quickly train the trainees as the trainer has a continuous control over the actions of the trainee. In this study only Ovary was considered during experiments and the trainees were allowed to palpate ovary and their applied forces were recorded. Further work is in progress to

RNA secondary structure Prediction using Dynamic Programming Algorithm A Review and Proposed Work
Mohd Nizam Osman, Rosni Abdullah, NurAini Abd. Rashid Ribonucleic acid (RNA) plays fundamental and important role in cellular life forms and their function is directly related to their structure. RNA secondary structure prediction is a significant area of study for many scientists seeking insights into potential drug interactions or innovative new treatment methodologies. Predicting structure can overcome many issues related with physical structure determination and their study yields information useful in prediction of the full three dimensional structures and also in the interpretation of the biochemical abilities of the molecules. Therefore, predicting the secondary structure of RNA is very important for understanding their function. Furthermore secondary structures are discrete and therefore well suited for computational methods. In this paper we present a review on RNA secondary structure prediction using Dynamic Programming (DP) algorithm. An analysis of DP algorithm from previous work is discussed. We will present our proposed work for RNA secondary structure prediction using DP algorithm and special-purposed hardware of multicore and Graphical Processing Unit (GPU). We proposed to implement the DP algorithm approach on a hybrid of multicore and GPU platform to speed up the computational process of RNA secondary structure prediction.

hMM Parameters Estimation using hybrid baum- Welch genetic Algorithm

Mourad Oudelha, Raja N. Ainon Automatic speech recognition (ASR) has been for a long time an active research area with a large variety of applications in human-computer intelligent interaction. The most used technique in this field is the Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) which is a statistical and extremely powerful method. The HMM model parameters are crucial information in HMM ASR process, and directly influence the recognition precision since they can make an excellent description of the speech signal. Therefore optimizing HMM parameters is still an important and challenging work in automatic speech recognition research area. Usually the Baum-Welch (B-W) Algorithm is used to calculate the HMM model parameters. However, the B-W algorithm uses an initial random guess of the parameters, therefore after convergence the output tends to be close to this initial value of the algorithm, which is not necessarily the global optimum of the model parameters. In this paper, a Genetic Algorithm (GA) combined with Baum-Welch (GABW) is proposed; the idea is to use GA exploration ability to obtain the optimal parameters within the solution space.

Bassam Ali Qasem Al-Qatab, Raja Noor Ainon In this paper we discuss the development and implementation of an Arabic automatic speech recognition engine. The engine can recognize both continuous speech and isolated words. The system was developed using the Hidden Markov Model Toolkit. First, an Arabic dictionary was built by composing the words to its phones. Next, Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC)of the speech samples are derived to extract the speech feature vectors. Then, the training of the engine based on triphones is developed to estimate the parameters for a Hidden Markov Model. To test the engine, the database consisting of speech utterance from thirteen Arabian native speakers is used which is divided into ten speaker-dependent and three speakerindependent samples. The experimental results showed that the overall system performance was 90.62%, 98.01 % and 97.99% for sentence correction, word correction and word accuracy respectively.

efficiency analysis for FEC and ARQ techniques in underwater environment is done based on communication distance, packet size and wind speed. And a comparison between FEC and ARQ in terms of energy efficiency is done, it was found that energy efficiency of both techniques increases with increasing packet size in short distances, but decreases in longer distances. There is also a cutoff distance below which ARQ is more energy efficient than FEC, and after which FEC is more energy efficient than ARQ. Wind speed has great effect on energy efficiency and on cutoff distance for both techniques. Based on this analysis an efficient energy two mode error correction technique is proposed, this technique depends on RTT, distance, packet size, and the energy level in the nodes to determine where and how error can be corrected.

On-Demand flexible Tiered Qos scheduling Algorithm for IEEE 802.16j Multi-hop Relay Networks
Anas F. Bayan, Tat-Chee Wan WiMAX is a wireless technology that provides broadband access for services having different QoS requirements and different traffic priorities. Since the QoS demands of different traffic flows vary, it is the responsibility of the medium access control (MAC) layer to schedule the traffic flows and allocate bandwidth such that the QoS requirements of each flow is satisfied. This scenario is even more complex when multihop relays are introduced into the network. Nonetheless, the IEEE 802.16j standard does not specify any QoS architectures or scheduling mechanisms. In this paper, we propose an OnDemand Flexible Tiered (ODFT) QoS scheduling algorithm for WiMAX Multi-hop Relay networks to guarantee the QoS demands of various applications by utilizing QoS tiers for the relay network. The ODFT (1) classifies the user requests from various wireless zones based on the zone ID and service flow types, (2) calculate the QoS weights of the service flows, (3) schedule service flows based on the calculated weights, and (4) allocate suitable bandwidth for each service flow type.

Minimizing Discovery Time in bluetooth Networks using Localization Techniques

Fazli Subhan, Halabi Hasbullah
Bluetooth is a short range wireless communication protocol. However, the discovery process to establish connection in Bluetooth network is very time consuming process. This paper presents localization techniques for Bluetooth networks. There is an increasing interest in location identification, and communication with other Bluetooth devices within a local area network. The idea behind localization techniques is to address position estimation in Bluetooth networks in order to reduce the time taken for device discovery to establish connection process. In this paper Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) is obtained using Inverse square law. The Received Power (Prx) is obtained indirectly by converting RSSI values to Prx using Friis equation. Positioning is based on Prx and converted to estimate the distance using simple radio propagation model based on Friis equation. The advantage of positioning is to know the object actual position with respect to the distance from the transmitter. The relationship obtained from positioning using Prx will be used to minimize the discovery time in connection establishment process in Bluetooth networks. This work is part of the design process of roaming protocol for Bluetooth networks. ITSO2_T7_2

Efficient Congestion Control in VANET for safety Messaging

Bilal Mughal, Asif Wagan, Halabi Hasbullah The prime goal of Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is to provide life safety on the road. To achieve this, vehicles make use of two types of safety messages i) Periodic safety messages (beacons): to exchange status information e.g. position, speed etc. ii) Event-driven messages: broadcast in case of an emergency situations e.g. accidents, hard-braking etc. As both type of messages use same Control Channel, in dense traffic periodic beacons may consume the entire channel bandwidth resulting in a saturated/congested channel. In a congested channel event-driven messages may not be able to access the channel at all, thus providing no safety. Researchers have proposed different strategies to overcome this problem. Most of these strategies rely on the concept of a limiting beacon bandwidth usage level below a specific threshold and thus implicitly reserving a chunk of bandwidth for high priority even-driven messages. In the proposed strategies either transmission rate or power control techniques are used to control congestion. In this paper we evaluate such techniques and highlight following major drawbacks first: using only power control techniques do not satisfy requirements of envisioned beacon-dependent safety applications, second: methods used for measuring channel usage level in transmission rate control technique may not be as effective under real world conditions.

voice. Hence, there is a need to enhance the quality of voice transmission over the WLAN. Several metrics such as delay, jitter, and packet lost have impact on the quality of service (QoS) of the VoIP system. Minimizing total transmission delay, jitter and packet lost would mean improving the QoS of VoIP. In this paper, a cross-layer interaction approach is proposed to improve the quality of voice delivery, hence the QoS of VoIP. The approach in achieving this is by introducing a communication agent between Data Link layer and Transport layer, by which congestion misinterpretation by the Transport layer could now be eliminated. In particular, the IP protocol of Transport layer will be utilized to communicate with the agent to improve the QoS of the VoIP system.

Workload Analysis of sPECmail2009

Hitoshi Oi, Sho Niboshi
SPECmail2009 is a new benchmark suite for measuring the performance of corporate mail servers. It assumes the IMAP4 protocol for retrieving messages and a large fraction of transactions are for manipulating hierarchical messages and mail folders from the users connected via high-speed networks. In this paper, we present a performance analysis of SPECmail2009, including disk I/O behavior, quality of service metrics, and CPU time breakdown. The IMAP4s capability of directly manipulating the messages on the server makes SPECmail2009 a highly I/O-bound workload. Our experiments show that a combination of a small but fast access SCSI drive for indexing messages and larger but slower SATA drives for message files can be an option for building a cost-effective mail storage. Both of multiprocessing and multithreading are quite effective for SPECmail2009 especially in the user mode CPU. ITSO3_T2_2

Evaluation for effectiveness and efficiency of artificial reefs (AR) development is quite difficult and troublesome. This is because of high cost incurred. As for common practice, evaluation process is done by special diving task force unit to conduct diving activity to observe on how AR has developed. The paper presents framework architecture to integrate location coordinate data (longitude and latitude) of AR with the fish catches data at all identified jetty. In SIDIF, the data of fish catches will be mapped with data on location coordinate of AR as a whole via mapping and integration of these two (2) different databases. Using this methodology, the effectiveness and efficiency of AR development will be achieved as well as the evaluation will be measured. ITSO4_T2_2
Divisible Load scheduling of Real-time Task on heterogeneous Clusters

Suriayati Chuprat Recent research in real-time scheduling had applied workload models from Divisible Load Theory (DLT) to real-time workloads. The resulting theory, referred to as Real-time Divisible Load Theory (RT-DLT), hold great promise for modeling an emergent class of massively parallel realtime workloads. However, the theory needs strong formal foundations before it can be widely used for the design and analysis of real-time systems. In this paper, we report our current findings on RT-DLT as part of our on-going research effort to develop such formal foundations. Specifically, we have extended an algorithm based on Linear Programming to schedule a divisible real-time workload upon heterogeneous clusters. A series of simulations have been conducted and a set of significant results are presented.

Multi-level Parallelism in PhyloCon Algorithm

Hazrina Yusof Hamdani, NurAini Abdul Rashid In this paper we investigate the advantages of multi-level parallelism on PhyloCon algorithm. The PhyloCon algorithm naturally possesses multi-levels of functions which cost the execution time took longer to complete. We showed that by applying parallelism to the selected level of functions may significantly reduce the execution time. The selected level of functions produced the independent outer-level parallelism and the independent inner-level parallelism. The details of each independent level of parallelism applied in PhyloCon algorithm are also were shown. The result of the research shows that multilevel parallelism produced a better performance compared to independent level parallelism which half of sequential execution time can be reduced using multi-level parallelism.

Basic and inertia weight approach particle swarm optimization techniques are applied to optimal power flow control in an electrical power system. Based on the steady state model, the sizing of the controller in the network is formulated as an optimization problem to minimize the transmission line loss in the network. The power flow control constraints due to the use of interline power flow controller are included in optimal power flow problem in addition to the normal conventional constraints. Simulations results are obtained on standard IEEE 30-bus system to minimizing the transmission line losses and optimal parameters of the controller are derived.

basic LAHC as it uses randomized decent method instead of using simple hill climbing. ALARD also differs from the basic LAHC as it uses an average quality of a list of accepted solutions as the acceptance criterion, whilst in LAHC the acceptance criterion is based on the quality of one of the selected solution in the acceptance list. ALARD does not need parameter tuning to the length of list for each benchmarked problem, because the acceptance criterion is based on threshold value (i.e. average), whilst LAHC, requires parameter tuning. Results tested on the Socha benchmark datasets showed that, ALARD produces significantly good quality solutions compared to LAHC within a reasonable time and comparable to other approaches tested on this dataset.

Optimal solutions to small N values can be found in reasonable time by classical search algorithms or linear programming. However, since the N-Queens problem is a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP), it will be very time consuming to solve larger N values with guaranteed optimality. In this paper, genetic algorithm was adopted to solve the N-Queens problem. Results show that this evolutionary approach is very efficient and able to produce good results compared with other approaches e.g. classical search algorithms or linear programming.

This is due to the enormous contents of web information that have caused problems in the restructuring of web information. Thus, in order to ensure the latest, quality and relevant web information is optimally retrievable, it is necessary to undertake the task of web document classification. This paper discusses the result of classifying web document using the extraction and machine learning techniques. Four types of kernels namely the Radial Basis Function (RBF), linear, polynomial and sigmoid are applied to test the accuracy of the classification. The results show that the accuracy percentage of web document classification will increase whenever more web document is used. The results also show that linear kernel technique is the best in web document classification compared to RBF, polynomial and sigmoid.

Sharifah Suhaila Mohd Ramli, Halabi Hasbullah One of the big fundamental issues in Bluetooth ad hoc network is its device discovery in network initialization which would affect the whole performance. The performance of short range wireless Bluetooth ad hoc network technologies depends on the promptness of the self-configuring procedures. Due to continuous inquiry and paging process, battery in Bluetoothenabled devices is easily drained. This afterward gives an impact on Bluetooth technology efficiency. Derived from accumulation of previous works and enhancement of the mechanism, the lengthy delay of inquiry process in device discovery are discussed in this paper. Algorithm highlighting Bluetooth initialization is designed and explained with consideration of its time consuming that eventually caused power issue. Thus, good compromise between power saving and discovery time is observed in this work while mathematical model and simulation results presented based on modification in its parameters.

Dynamic stable Relay selection in bluetooth scatternet

Sheikh Tahir Bakhsh, Halabi Hasbullah (UTP) Bluetooth is a progressive technology used for mobile adhoc network (MANET) for wireless nodes. Basic network in Bluetooth is called piconet, there could be multiple piconets in Bluetooth that are connected with a common node called relay. Relay plays an important role in the network, because it uses different hopping pattern for different piconets. Relay node has extra responsibility, which is forward data from one piconet to other. The mobility and degree of relay node affects the performance of the network. The problem in ad-hoc network is the node stability and reliability. As in Bluetooth all the communication is synchronized so relay has to switch for communication into different networks, most frequent movement of relay increase control overhead in the network. The mechanism for selection of relay should be simple and effective. A stable node should be selected as relay that increases the reliability and stability of the network. In this paper we

Design of An Autonomic service Oriented Architecture

Muhammad Agni Catur Bhakti, Azween Abdullah
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a paradigm for organizing and utilizing distributed services as the basic construct to produce the desired results for service consumers. Large and complex computational units can be composed out of the available services. As the complexity and dynamism of the current global network systems grow significantly, the service architecture will also need to grow. It should be capable of autonomously changing its structure and functionality to meet dynamic changes in the requirements and environment with little human intervention. It needs to dynamically (re)organize the interactions between the services due to unpredictable events, such as crashes or network problems, which could cause services unavailability.

The proposed method is applied on small documents dataset which shows that this method outperforms then term frequency/ inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) with BOW feature selection method for text classification.

Presently, segmentation poses one of the most challenging problems in medical imaging. Segmentation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images is an important part of brain imaging research. In this paper, we used controlled experimental data as our testing data. The data is designed in such a way that prior knowledge of the size of the abnormalities are known. This is done by cutting various shapes and sizes of various abnormalities and pasting it onto normal brain tissues, where the tissues and the background are divided into different categories. The segmentation was done with twenty data of each category. The knowledge of the size of the abnormalities by the number of pixels were then used as the ground truth to compare with the SBRG segmentation results. The proposed SBRG technique was found to produce potential solutions to the current difficulties in detecting abnormalities in the human brain tissue area.

Transforming unstructured Query to Mediated Query for structured Retrieval

Keng Hoon Gan, Keat Keong Phang
Recent years, the availability of public accessible structured resources like XML on the web has led to active developments of structural retrieval systems. With these systems, users will be able to query for information from structured resources on the web efficiently. When querying, it is obvious that usage of structural information in query increases the precision of retrieval system. However, general web users are more familiar with unstructured query such as natural language or keywords, which contains no structural information. This motivates us to find a retrieval method that supports querying which is simpler and familiar to user, i.e. unstructured query, but at the same time, does not overlook the usage of structural information in query. Hence, we propose a solution that automatically adds structural information to the unstructured query, and represents it as a Mediated Query. The mediated query is an intermediate query in structured form to bridge the gap of structural differences between unstructured query and structured resources. As the selection of correct structural information that reflects the query context is crucial for better retrieval performance, we develop a method to obtain this information by learning the semantics of a set of terms extracted from structured resources. The semantics of a term is defined by its concept and context. We represent the term and its semantics using the Semantic Prediction Model. The model will be used in reasoning the context of query and the process of creating mediated query. The mediated query is then matched against structured resources to obtain relevant results.

Evaluating Neural Network Intrusion Detection Approaches using Analytic hierarchy Process
Iftikhar Ahmad, Azween Abdullah, Abdullah S Alghamdi At present age, security in computer and network systems is a pressing concern because a solo attack may cause an immense destruction in computer and network systems. Various intrusion detection approaches be present to resolve this serious issue but the dilemma is which one is more appropriate in the field of intrusion. Therefore, in this paper, we evaluated and compared different neural network (NN) approaches to intrusion detection. This work describes the concepts, tool and methodology being used for assay of different NN intrusion detection approaches using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Further, conclusion on results is made and direction for future works is presented. The outcome of this work may help and guide the security implementers in two possible ways, either by using the results directly obtained in this paper or by extracting the results using similar mechanism but on different intrusion detection systems or approaches.
Moving Towards Two Dimensional Passwords

Sohail Safdar, Mohd Fadzil Hassan The main objective of the research is to specify two dimensional passwords that can possess much more strength as compared to linear passwords. These passwords are strong enough to provide effective and secure authentication under certain alarming situations. The alarming situations are the situations where the possibility to breach the system security exists. The specification of the two dimensional nxn passwords has been provided based on NIST standards. The strength of nxn password has been calculated that has proven to be much more as compared to the linear passwords. It is proposed that these passwords should be used under alarming situations such as the protection requirement for some critical resource, special authentication when the system is in unsafe state or protection of sensitive data. Therefore it has been recommended to move from linear passwords to the passwords defined in two dimensional space, whenever some alarming situation arises.

A survey of simulators, Emulators and Testbeds for Wireless sensor Networks

Muhammad Imran, Abas Md Said, Halabi Hasbullah
Simulators, emulators and testbeds are invaluable tools for performance evaluation of algorithms and protocols in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). It is extremely difficult to choose an appropriate tool for performance testing without the horizontal and vertical analysis of existing tools. This paper presents a survey of thirty five performance evaluation tools for WSNs. Unlike most other studies, tools were selected based on their popularity, support for WSNs, active maintenance and the help available. On the horizontal dimension, prominent competitors at each stage were selected. For vertical analysis, tools for simulation, emulation and testbeds were categorized accordingly. We believe that this survey will aid researchers, application and tool developers while selecting an appropriate tool for their implementation. We have highlighted an open research issue to have an integrated tool that supports modeling, simulation, emulation and testbed implementation for algorithm validation, performance evaluation and proof-of-concept implementation in WSNs.

Multilayer Packet Tagging for Network behaviour Analysis

Maznan Deraman, Jalil Md Desa, Zulaiha Ali Othman Network behaviour analysis (NBA) is a system that analyses the network data stream or packets characteristics. NBA commonly associated with network intrusion detection and prevention system (IDS/IPS), as the mechanism used in NBA is well known for its capability to discover the hidden information in network packets. Among popular methods empowered the NBA is misuse detection and anomaly detection techniques. Misuse detection is suitable for known attacks that already have list of actions to be taken based on historical events from past attacks. However, misuse detection is inefficient to deal with zero-day type of attack. This paper describes the concept of multilayer packet tagging approach that is possible to compliment the weaknesses found in misuse detection techniques in NBA system.

In order to define capable measurement schemes for any kind of available sensor node hardware, lightweight synchronisation concepts are necessary. In this paper we present a scheduling concept for distributed, resource-limited sensor networks based on a capable time synchronisation approach. The concepts operate on the application layer and enable application-specific, energy-efficient sensor measurement schemes. For proof of concept, the approaches were implemented on a sensor node hardware platform. Several test scenarios evaluate the feasibility and clarify an excellent usability in wireless sensor network environments.

using Change Tracking Component to Manage Object-Oriented Driven user Interface Layout Management system
Liang Ying Oh, Tong Ming Lim
User Interfaces (UI) layout design is one of the most important part of any software requirement activities. User interfaces (UI) emerged as an essential accomplice in fulfilling the potential of an application. Layout design of UI screens has always been very expensive and time consuming activities. However, owing to the ad-hoc nature of UI design process coupled with user involvement throughout the process have inevitably surfaced in the UI construction and management phases. This includes the amount of effort involved in fulfilling multiple user requirements which in turn lead to the generation of a large number of screen layout designs with numerous similarities among them. Taking into considerations on the amount of effort required in maintaining masses of UI layouts with plentiful commonalities, this paper focuses on the integration of an object-oriented approach towards UI layout design along with an evolution tracking system to address the issues projected. Cases were used at the end of this paper to evaluate the effectiveness and accomplishments of the proposed approach so that future research work could be planned.
An Improved Traditional Worm Attack Pattern

Robiah Y., Siti Rahayu S., Shahrin Sahib, Mohd Zaki M., Faizal M.A., Marliza R. The significant threats of traditional worms such as Blaster, Sasser, Code Red and Slammer are still continuing due to their hasty spreading nature on the internet. The worms attack pattern from three different scenarios have been extracted from various logs at different OSI layers such as victim logs, attacker logs and IDS alert log. These worms attack pattern are further analyzed to form the general worms attack pattern which describes the process of worms infection. This paper proposes a general attack pattern for worm in three different perspectives which is attacker, victim and victim/attacker or multi-step attack using only Blaster variant. Thus, the general attack pattern can be extended into research areas in alert correlation and computer forensic investigation.

This paper demonstrated the use of two statistical approaches namely, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Duncan multiple range tests for determining the performance of different forecasting methods. Three forecasting methods were chosen and compared: regression, decomposition, and ARIMA. Data from monthly incidence of Salmonellosis in US from 1993 to 2006 was collected and used for technical analysis. ANOVA was initially used to identify significant difference between the actual data and three forecasting methods. Based on the results from ANOVA, selection of appropriate method was conducted using Duncan multiple range tests. The results showed that both regression and ARIMA could be used in the Salmonellosis data. On the contrary, decomposition method yielded the least performance and is not suitable for being applied on the available dataset.

Testing the simulations for various protocols in a practical environment shows how theories can be authenticated in practice. This also helps to identify the problems that the ad-hoc network users and developers face. Testing adhoc network implementations, however, also presents a number of challenges. Our approach is to build a mathematical model that can be used to simulate and test the path selection, optimal path selection from plentiful paths available from a source to the destination in Bluetooth Scatternets. We are interested in optimal path selection and its analysis in Bluetooth Scatternet routing with respect to some key parameters. The key parameter include number of intermediate hops, battery power of individual Bluetooth enabled nodes and link stability of all routes in the Bluetooth Scatternet from source to destination.

The main factor affecting the TCP performance in multi-hop wireless networks is the contention and collision between ACK and data packets caused ACKs using the delayed acknowledgment option defined in IETF RFC 1122 will improve TCP throughout. On the other hand, the large cumulative ACKs will induce packet loss. Motivated by this understanding, we propose an adaptive delay ACK algorithm for our strategy can improve TCP throughput up to 233% compared to the regular TCP.

haptic Texture search Engine framework

Waskito Adi, Suziah Sulaiman Computer haptics (CH) and computer vison (CV) are two popular research areas among researchers. Despite their increasing in popularity, little has been reported on integrating both techniques in CV into CH. At present, researchers mainly work on either CH or CV topics, separately. Combining these two areas may benefit information retrieval as the existence of haptic information could enhance a particular search. This paper describes how both CV and CH could be applied into our proposed search engine framework for searching fabric textures. The framework developed involves a computer vision algorithm and a haptic rendering algorithm. Based on our experiments that include searching algorithm and haptic rendering, the result shows that computer vision algorithm can be applied into and suitable for generating haptic textures. This leads towards obtaining a haptic texture search engine that enables cloth searching not only visually but also haptically.

statistical Analysis for the key Representation Database and the Original Database
Asim Elshiekh, P. D. D. Dominic A statistical database (SDB) is a database that allows its users to retrieve aggregate statistics (such as sum, average, count, etc) on subsets of records, and data in individual records should be remained secret. The key representation auditing scheme (KR AS) is proposed to protect the privacy of online and dynamic SDBs. The core idea is to convert the original database into key representation database (KRDB), also this scheme involves converting each new user query from string representation into key representation query (KRQ), and stores it in the Audit Query table (AQ table). Three audit stages are proposed to repel the attacks of the snooper to the confidentiality of the individuals. In this paper, we provide statistical analysis to compare between the means and variances of the original database and the KRDB populations. We test the null hypothesis, that there will be no significant difference between the two populations means/variances, against the alternative hypothesis, that there will be a significant difference between the two populations means/variances. The results of the tests showed that the differences are statistically significant.

In past IGA works with a small size of population and generations to prevent the user fatigue, in this way small search space is used for evolving solutions. The proposed work is based on the use of objective function for assigning fitness, visualization of multidimensional search space and interaction of user after several generations. The interaction of user only required for proposing genes values at different locations of particular generation. In our proposed method, the multidimensional data of each generation is represented as 2-D graphs. The selection and interaction of interesting part of search space helps to generate more potential solutions. For experiment, we have selected Parametric L-System, in which both symbols and numerical parameters are evolved using Genetic Algorithm (GA). The output of this visualization helps to generate random strings and parameters, which are used to construct rules for Parametric L-System. Since Parametric L-System is involved, 2 Layered GA is introduced in which upper layer evolved symbols and lower layer evolved parameters.

Temporary Cluster based Routing for underwater Wireless sensor Networks

Muhammad Ayaz, Azween Abdullah, Low Tang Jung During the last couple of decades Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSN) have attracted more attention for ocean monitoring systems. Due to adverse environment, UWSN face many problems like bandwidth limitations, high error probability, node movements and 3-dimensional space, and with such challenges, we need a robust and scalable architecture for providing a self configuring network of distributed nodes. In order to handle the problem of large propagation delays and unreliable link quality, many authors proposed multi-hop data delivery routing schemes. But, such multi-hop routing protocols drain more energy of the nodes near the sink. In this paper, we proposed a Temporary Cluster Based Routing protocol, which not only make use of equal energy consumption for all the nodes throughout the network but also it helps to save energy, as it prefer to send the sensed data over short distances. Moreover, it does not require any location information of sensor nodes and only a small number of nodes are involved during the end to end routing process. This makes it suitable not only for stationary and mobile networks but for the hybrid networks as well.

Mohamad Farhan Mohamad Mohsin; Maznie Manaf; Norita Md Norwawi; Mohd Helmy Abd Wahab Case-based reasoning (CBR) considers previous experience in form of cases to overcome new problems. It requires many solved cases in case base in order to produce a quality decision. Todays database technology allows CBR to own a huge case storage thus the case retrieval process in CBR also needs to handle the larger capacity. Traditionally, sequential indexing method has been applied to search for possible cases in case base. This technique works well for small number of cases but it consumes more time to retrieve when the case base is huge. Therefore, this study explore a nonsequential indexing called hashing as an alternative to cater large cases resulting faster retrieval time in CBR. Hash indexing searches only records determine by the index computed based on entrys search key without the need to traverse through all records. This paper presents the initial work of the integration of hash indexing method in CBR.

using Multi-Coordinated Views with Agent Communication Protocol to Detect and Resolve Inconsistent Requirements to Improve Accuracy
Tan Lai Heng, Lim Tong Ming (Sunway University College) There are few challenges with eliciting requirements from stakeholders. Firstly, inconsistent requirements are usually not realized by stakeholders at the point of requirement specification compilation. Secondly, existing inconsistency checking techniques are usually mathematically or formally validated in a non-collaborative environment which is less practical and not productive for multiple stakeholders. In this research, a proposed requirements conflict detection and resolution solution is provided. The requirements from multiple stakeholders are captured as views on the functional requirements of a business domain using a proposed Semi-formal Ontology Driven Domain-Specific Requirements Specification Language. The proposed language will capture other relevant requirements includes domain, actors, relationships, processes, condition, and data fields to enable consistency checking. The proposed solution enables proper consistency checking in two ways: 1) Inter-Check (check within captured ontology), and 2) IntraCheck (check among stakeholders views) so that stakeholders can resolve detected conflicts collaboratively through Agent Communication Protocol. Lab test will be conducted with a selected group of novice users to measure the learning curve (hours) for adopting the proposed solution as well as the accuracy and the consistency. A few set of requirements will be given to the group of selected users and a prototype for proposed solution will be produced. The values of this research are: 1) to improve the understanding of how much accuracy

An Extension To Mobile IPv6 Micro-Mobility Management

Zulkeflee Kusin, Mohamad Shanudin Zakaria A Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) supports mobility and takes advantage of the new design in IPv6 by allowing a mobile node move to another location without changing the mobile nodes home address. A Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6) was designed to enhanced mobility problem in MIPv6. The key concept behind HMIPv6 is to locally handle handovers by the usage of an entity called Mobility Anchor Point (MAP) located at any level in a hierarchical network of routers to support micromobility management. The major issue on HMIPv6 is to design the MAP selection scheme that can reduce frequent Binding Update process and improve handover performance. This paper discussed and reviewed the extension of HMIPv6 in term of Local Binding Update, MAP Discovery and MAP selection scheme.

Issues with flexibility: A Reason for not using Online Reservation systems
Arif Mushtaq, Suziah Sulaiman, Jrn Loviscach
In the discipline of systems engineering, the flexibilityof a system is considered its ability to respond to change. However, Transaction Processing Systems (TPS) are left to be inflexible up to a certain extent to avoid non-standard operations. This leads to the dilemma that incorporation of more Functional Requirements (FR) into TPS could cause systems to become more inflexible, which in turn could affect the usage of, for instance, online airline reservation systems. We conducted a survey in order to examine the physiological, cognitive, social experiences and perceptions of a selected group of people who have booked their tickets either through travel agents or through online reservation systems. The findings indicate that flexibility has a significant impact on the perceived usability of online reservation systems, much more than functional requirements. ITSO1_T3_2

Establishing A Defect Prediction Model using A Combination of Product Metrics As Predictors Via six sigma Methodology
Muhammad Dhiauddin Mohamed Suffian, Mohamed Redzuan Abdullah
Defect prediction is an important aspect of the Product Development Life Cycle. The rationale in knowing predicted number of functional defects earlier on in the lifecycle, rather than to just find as many defects as possible during testing phase is to determine when to stop testing and ensure all the in-phase defects have been found in-phase before a product is delivered to the intended end user. It also ensures that wider test coverage is put in place to discover the predicted defects. This research is aimed to achieve zero known post release defects of the software delivered to the end user by MIMOS Berhad. To achieve the target, the research effort focuses on establishing a test defect prediction model using Design for Six Sigma methodology in a controlled environment where all the factors contributing to the defects of the product is within MIMOS Berhad. It identifies the requirements for the prediction model and how the model can benefit them. It also outlines the possible predictors associated with defect discovery in the testing phase. Analysis of the repeatability and capability of test engineers in finding defects are demonstrated. This research also describes the process of identifying characteristics of data that need to be collected and how to obtain them. Relationship of customer needs with the technical requirements of the proposed model is then clearly analyzed and explained. Finally, the proposed test defect prediction model is demonstrated via multiple regression analysis. This is achieved by incorporating testing metrics and development-related metrics as the predictors. The achievement of the whole research effort

Evaluating Playability on haptic user Interface for Mobile gaming

Chui Yin Wong, Kimberly Chu, Chee Weng Khong, Tek Yong Lim There have been escalating research interests on areas relating to haptic modality in recent years, especially towards mobile devices. However, there seems to be limited studies in determining the relation between haptic user interfaces and its influence on the playability of mobile games. This paper aims to measure playability of mobile games by comparing two different types of haptic interfaces, namely hard and soft keypad, for mobile gaming. The results show that the participants (N=12) scored highest in using a soft keypad (mean = 591.92, SD =
322.57) as compared to playing games using a hard keypad (mean = 471, SD = 359.29). However, this paper highlights that the majority of users prefer using the hard keypad method in virtue of greater player experience with regards to game play. ITSO1_T3_5

Goh Kim Nee, Muhammad Azlil Syafiq, Savita K. Sugathan, Chen Yoke Yie, Emelia Akashah Patah Akhir
Asthma is a very common disease that may become lethal if remained untreated. An asthma patient must always be alert with their body condition, especially their respiratory and the surroundings they are in. This paper proposes a development of a rule-based asthma system. This system provides advice for patients who would like to know the chances of getting an asthma attack are based on the patients current asthma condition and surrounding environment. To do so, the patients will answer questions to enable the system to understand their current health condition and the environment they are living in. It will then provide suggestions to avoid the attack, or to hasten asthma recovery, which includes environmental factors. Data regarding asthma was gathered through an interview with doctors and online medical resources. A rule-based algorithm was developed based on the data gathered. With this program, it allows patients self management to lead a healthy, asthma-free lifestyle.

A survey on Different Interoperability frameworks of sOA systems Towards seamless Interoperability

Najhan M.Ibrahim, Mohd Fadzil Hassan
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) plays many important roles for resource sharing and manipulating interconnected data in heterogeneous geographic distributed environments. Interoperability is two or more systems which is able to communicate, share, and exchange the resources with no need to know how each other works, but in the same time both need to have some common specifications to provide a reliable connection with no errors or misunderstanding. Many research works have been conducted to solve different interoperability issues for specific domains such as resource management, enterprise system and healthcare sector. Different development styles may lead to breakdown or interruption of communication. This paper examines and reviews studies related to interoperability frameworks. We found that different domains will have different types of interoperability frameworks. We argued that future research in this area is needed to consolidate and address interoperability issues which are required for a standard seamless framework between multi SOA platforms. ITSO1_T7_4

Agent based Monitoring framework for sOA Applications Quality

Zain Balfagih, Mohd Fadzil Hassan Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and web service technology plays a great role in enabling the integration of different systems from different enterprises and platforms. Usually, the service provided to consumers in such systems requires a specific level of quality to be ensured by the providers. So, the consumer and provider enter into a mutual Service Level Agreement (SLA) which is a contract defining the obligations, rights, and penalties between the provider of a web service and a client with respect to the services quality. Monitoring is required at they service provider and service consumer sides in order to ensure the satisfaction of SLA. This research aims to provide an automated monitoring framework for non-functional attributes of SOA to ensure the trustworthiness of SLA for SOA applications using agent technology. A quality model has been developed as a basis for this monitoring framework. The quality model will identify the related quality attributes and their metrics from different multi-stakeholders perspective.
A Proposed Reusability Attribute Model for Aspect Oriented software Product Line Components
Fazal e Amin, Ahmad Mahmood, Alan Oxley
Reusability assessment is vital for software product line due to reusable nature of its core components. Reusability being a high level quality attribute is more relevant to the software product lines as the entire set of individual products depend on the software product line core assets. Recent research proposes the use of aspect oriented techniques for product line development to provide better separation of concerns, treatment of crosscutting concerns and variability management. There are quality models available which relate the software reusability to its attributes. These models are intended to assess the reusability of software or a software component. The assessment of aspect oriented software and a core asset differs from the traditional software or component. There is need to develop a reusability model to relate the reusability attributes of aspect oriented software product line assets. This research work is an effort towards the development of reusability attribute model for software product line development using aspect oriented techniques.

Designing computer applications for blind users is a challenging task. The design requirements should encompass those feedback obtained from the target users, the domain experts as well as the designers intuition of the system. Current practice has placed little emphasis on the involvement of domain experts when capturing the design requirements. This paper addresses this problem by highlighting the importance of such involvement. An interview was conducted to elicit a domain experts view on how blind users used computer, the technology they used and their general requirements on an ideal system. The findings include blind users require an intelligent system that could read the right thing at the right time, provide a description of images on a document, and have shortcut keys for the system.

Grid technology, which connects a number of personal computers, can achieve the same computing power as a supercomputer does, also with a lower cost. The goal of grid computing is to aggregate idle resources on the Internet or Intranet such as CPU cycles, storage spaces, etc. to facilitate utilization. In this research we present computational grid framework that used to utilize idle computers in Intranet to execute jobs in an efficient way than a single computer. We design and implement Service Oriented Distributed Grid Manager (SODGM) framework based on web services technology to manage resources and jobs in the system. SODGM balance the load among available resources to increase computers utilization in the system and minimize jobs response time. To evaluate the SODGM system, we performed tests on the Computers Laboratory in the Faculty of Computing and Information Technology in King Abdul Aziz University. The tests show that SODGM system provides good performance compared with using single computer in terms of execution time, resource utilization and system throughput.

Customer Relationship Management: Computer-Assisted Tools for Customer Lifetime Value Prediction
Lim Chia Yean, Vincent KT Khoo
A customer lifetime value (CLV) can be used as an indicator for assessing a customers worthiness. It is often used among the medium to large organizations for predicting future revenues from their customers. Many research projects have been conducted to enhance the individual prediction models and formulae. However, there are no obvious formal approaches to ensure the consistency and customizability of a prediction process and its major elements. This paper proposes a basic set of computer-assisted tools for a CLV prediction process. The semi-automated tools could be used by the business analysts of an organization to customize the existing templates; record, monitor, and track the work done in each phase of the process. In this paper, various challenges are discussed together with their possible solutions. The tools are specifically designed and implemented for the derivation of customizable formulae and models among the different customer segments of a non-profit organization. In the near future, more research work would be conducted to enhance the capabilities of the tools to cater for possible collaborative CLV predictions among the interested parties on the variables, algorithms, and the subsystems of a model base management system and the associated knowledge base management system.

Lim Thean Pheng, Wahidah Husain In todays world, increasing awareness on personal wellness has shifted the concept of health from treatment of diseases to prevention of health problems. This is actually related to complementary and alternative medicine treatment known as wellness. As defined by the National Wellness Institute Inc. in United States of America (USA), wellness is an active process through which people become aware of, and make choices towards a more successful existence. In typical wellness approach, the wellness operators namely therapist, masseur, psychiatrist and wellness specialist are among the experts in wellness consultation. They are qualified experts in analyzing a persons wellness condition and matching a suitable wellness therapy for him/her. This typical consultation approach is time consuming and inconvenient for consumers and wellness operators who have hectic daily schedules. Therefore, an intelligent wellness recommendation system is necessary to analyze users wellness condition and recommend suitable wellness therapy for them. One of the solutions to typical consultation is to apply a knowledge-based approach that enables quick and reliable decision making process. A hybrid case-based framework is proposed to solve the recommendation tasks for personalized wellness therapy recommendation and monitoring.

Two-tier bitwise Interest Oriented QRP with firework Model Query for a small world Peerto-peer system to reduce message flooding and improve recall rate
Choong Yong Liang, Lim Tong Ming Small-World paradigm was adopted by many peer-to-peer (P2P) systems such as Freenet in order to improve performance of the P2P system. To adopt Small world as part of the architecture of a P2P system, the overlay network must archive high cluster coefficient and low average hop between any two randomly chosen peers. In this research, we propose to enhance Limewire by incorporating the Small world concept to improve several aspects of the overlay network. The Query Routing Protocol (QRP) table in the Limewire will be adopted and enhanced to hold interest information of leaf peers files for all the peers. Aggregation of leaf peers QRP will stay with the SuperPeer so that such interest information could be used to form short-range, medium-range and long-range links with other SuperPeers to achieve low average hop criteria as required by the Small world paradigm. Firework Query model is adopted in the search activity of the proposed enhanced Limewire P2P system through various links established between SuperPeers. Tests will be carried out using P2P simulation software on performance and scalability factors such as reducing message flooding and improving accurate recall rate. A prototype will be produced in this research to complete a lab-based test for concept proofing. Tests will be carried out comparing with the original Limewire and the improved Limewire so that potential future works could be recommended.

Comparisons of Routing Protocols for Child Tracking in Wireless sensor Network

Azat Rozyyev, Halabi Hasbullah One of the widespread types of crime is child kidnapping where the number of cases is increasing each year. With the modern telecommunication technology, the child protection should be better now than before. This paper presents a preliminary study on routing protocol for child tracking using combined infrastructure of Wireless Sensor Network and Cellular Network. The real-time application in these networks would help the related parties to track the location of the missing child. From proactive point of view, the application would act as a preventive tool for child kidnapping. When the sensors in a Wireless Sensor Network detect childs presence, they have to transmit the data to an Access Point or the sink node in the network. Many routing protocols have been developed in the past, and all of them have their advantages and disadvantages. This paper shows the selection of a few routing protocols that are suitable for child tracking in Wireless Sensor Network, which will be improved and suggested for the use in the application.

A P2P Object-Oriented Database system that supports Multi-Attribute and Range Queries with Improved Query Response Time
Goh Chiao Wei, Lim Tong Ming
Nowadays, the demand for the processing and storing demand of these data has limited the traditional way of storing and processing data based on client/server architecture. To overcome this bottleneck, a peer-to-peer object-oriented database is proposed because of its robustness, fault-tolerance, scalability and less administrative nature. Chord is a structured P2P overlay network providing indexing facility enables users to locate a piece of data based on a given key through an efficient routing algorithm. The proposed object-oriented database is built on the openChord, a Chord implementation. In this paper, we present a preliminary design for a P2P object-oriented database on the openChord which supports multi-attribute and range queries. The storing and processing of objects are managed locally to reduce the network traffic. Pointers of objects are stored around the routing path of nodes to efficiently access to a desired object to reduce storage cost and to preserve the object-oriented features. Nodes holding the object pointers are distributed around the network to reduce the lookup time. Nodes are organized into logical class hubs where each hub handles pointers to nodes storing objects belonging to a particular class. Queries involving multi-attributes and ranges are routed to the related class hubs to retrieve the desired objects. Our proposed system will be tested using an Order Picking application for a warehouse with only dozens of nodes connected in a wireless local area network. Tests were carried out with another P2P database system measured on reliability and performance of both P2P database systems.

semantic-based grid Resource Discovery systems - A literature review and taxonomy

Mahamat Issa Hassan, Azween Abdullah Resource Discovery (RD) is an important key issue in grid systems since resource reservation and task scheduling are based on it. Classical grid RD systems use keyword-based approaches to describe, and discover resources and services. However, keyword-based approaches are associated with some deficiencies that are inherited from the appearance of Intergrid system with various types of resources, services and middleware in the recent years. Therefore, semantic technology has been introduced to grid RD system to overcome this issue and considerable amount of studies have been done in this context. Such systems are known as semantic-based RD systems. Nevertheless, review or survey studies that can compare and evaluate these studies, and draw the future research directions in this field remain a challenge. This paper addresses this issue. It initially discusses the RD system components, semantic technology and its use in grid systems. The paper then focuses on the use of semantic

ITSO7_T3_4 documents provide several advantages. One advantage is document specific representations no longer affect the search. This is extremely important in the case of multilingual representations. Keywords of several languages are mapped to the same concept in an ontology and are therefore given the same meaning. Multilingual search portal can be established to produce the same results, no matter which language is used for retrieval. This research aim to identify and analyze ontology that relates to Islam to enhance the use of exact vocabularies and to develop an ontology based Islamic semantic retrieval that can retrieve Islamic web in 3 different languages simultaneously through a multilingual search portal. This research emphasizes on semantic web technologies and the development of ontology using thesaurus such as Library Congress Subject Heading and other reference sources such as Index Islamicus, thesaurus, encyclopaedia, biographies etc. as the basis for implementing novel mechanism for retrieving Islamic web in 3 different languages simultaneously. In this research, existing knowledge sources such as documents, reports, etc. are mapped into the domain ontology and semantically enriched. This semantically enriched information enables better knowledge indexing and searching process and implicitly a better management of knowledge. ITSO7_T3_6

Datul Aida Ali, Shahrul Azman Noah
Using low-level features to support semantic search of images is a difficult task. As a result, textual content is used to provide semantic description or annotation of images. Such textual description of what we may call as surrounding text is a value added features available in most web images particularly on-line newspaper images. Most search engines used them as a feature to provide textual meaning of images. Relying on surrounding text alone, however, unable to provide support for semantic search that go beyond indexed terms. Lexical resources and ontology are potential sources to enhance searching for images. This paper discusses the use of WordNet and ConceptNet to enhance searching for on-line newspaper images. This is further improved with named entity recognition (NER) technique to annotate important entities such as name if a person, location and organization among image searchers. Results show that our semantic search approaches outperform the normal approach for searching images.

framework of Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivators of knowledge sharing - A Case of Training Institutes of an Oil and gas Company in Malaysia
Aamir Amin, Mohd Fadzil Hassan, Mazeyanti Ariffin
Knowledge sharing is vital for the success of Knowledge Management (KM) initiatives. But it is inconceivable to flourish knowledge sharing without individuals motivation to share his knowledge. Individuals are motivated through intrinsic as well as extrinsic motivation. Due to this reason researchers have underlined the importance of extrinsic rewards and Organization Citizenship Behavior (OCB) to influence individuals decision to share his knowledge. Apart from extrinsic and intrinsic motivations, it is important to understand individual differences in knowledge sharing behavior based on demographic variables. The relationships of these variables with knowledge sharing have been tested in past research works, however there are a number of limitations which need to be addressed. Using the case of training institutes of an oil and Gas Company in Malaysia, the aim of the study is to propose a framework of intrinsic and extrinsic motivators of knowledge sharing. The proposed framework will overcome the limitations in the literature by revisiting the impact of extrinsic rewards, OCB and demographic variables on knowledge sharing. Hence the proposed framework has encompassed intrinsic motivators (OCB), extrinsic motivators (extrinsic rewards) and personality attributes (demographic variables). Six major and in total 20 hypotheses has been tested. The data was gathered from the knowledge workers, working as trainers and practitioners, at three training institutes. Questionnaire method was used to gather data. Later the data was tested using regression analysis through SPSS. The results have shown that OCB is a very strong predictor of knowledge sharing, whereas extrinsic rewards moderately affect individuals intention to share his knowledge. At the same time demographic variables including gander, race and education level affect the relationship between knowledge sharing intention and knowledge sharing behavior as a moderating variable except experience level, which has no impact on the relationship. The study will help us to understand the role of an individuals intrinsic attributes (i.e. OCBs), personality attributes (Demographic variable) and external motivators (i.e. extrinsic rewards) to affect his decision to share his knowledge. The study will help the theorists and practitioners to develop strategies to foster knowledge sharing in their organizations.
Pre-Considered factors Affecting ERP system Adoption in Malaysian sMEs using a Technology-Organization-Environment framework
Siti Shafrah Shahawai, Rosnah Idrus The adoption of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system among large organizations around the world has gradually increased due to the number of its implementation successes. An integration of a primary technology that effectively utilizes an ICT system in the organization such as ERP system will have a huge positive long-term result on any large, medium or small enterprises. However, most Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia are still lagging behind. This paper aims to discuss the proposed pre-considered factors affecting ERP system adoption in Malaysian SMEs by using a technologyorganization-environment (TOE) framework. Based on this framework, each factor will be looked at and discussed further in this paper on how the elements in the framework affect the adoption of ERP system in SMEs. This paper also explains how the factors will be used in a survey to be conducted later. The findings will help outline the strategies that should be considered to increase the understanding on the successful adoption of ERP among Malaysian SMEs.

study; the vocabulary is limited to 25 words which are most frequently spoken selected from ten speakers. Endpoint detection, which aims to distinguish the speech and non-speech segments of digital speech signal, is considered as one of the key preprocessing steps in speech recognition system. Proper estimation of the start and end of the speech (versus silence or background noise) avoids the waste of speech recognition evaluations on preceding or ensuing silence. In this study, the endpoint detection and speech segmentation task is achieved by using the three different algorithms, namely combination between Short-time Energy (STE) and Zero Crossing Rate (ZCR) measures, frame-based Teagers Energy (FTE), and Energy-Entropy feature (EEF). Three experiments were conducted separately to investigate the overall recognition rate obtained with a Discrete-Hidden Markov Model (DHMM) classifier approach on the testing data set that consists of 1250utterances. The results show that EEF algorithm performs quite satisfactory and acceptable where average recognition rate is 80.76% if compared with other two algorithms. Each of the algorithms have the advantages and disadvantages and there are still misdetection of word boundaries for the words with weak fricative, plosive and nasal sounds and not robust enough to implement in Malaysian Parliamentary speech data. However, improvement is still possible to increase the performance of these algorithms. ITSO1_T8_3

Predict the customer behavior in the shopping by Distributed Learning Automata

Mansour Esmaeilpour, Vahideh Naderifar, Riza Sulaiman
Predict the customer behavior in the shopping is important from two aspects: one is from the perspective of goods suppliers and the other from shop owners. Both groups want to know that their customers interest in which goods and buy which sequence of the goods. In the this paper we provide a way in finding sequences of the customers shopping, which in comparison with the previous methods, it works better and we demonstrate that it could obtain sequences of the customers shopping in shorter time than the previous methods. Finding of the sequences is very essential for suppliers of goods and shop owners and will lead to an increase in annual profit. In this article, we provide a method of finding two-member and higher sequences by distributed learning automata; its costs is lower than the other methods. We examined it on online basket data of costumer shopping and it is clear that the results are much better.

Decision support system framework for Implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system
Muhammad Abdul Tawab Khalil, P. D. D. Dominic, Mohd Fadzil Bin Hassan A growing challenge for todays complex decision making is the successful implementation of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system. Many problems that arise in ERP implementation have been discussed and tackled by researchers in recent times. An emerging threat to the successful implementation of ERP is the wicked problems. Wicked problems manifest in somewhat enormous projects or applications. These wicked problems can lead to a huge loss of organizational intellectual property and finance. In order to counter these wicked problems, a preemptive decision making strategy needs to be adopted to anticipate these problems in ERP implementation. As such, a research investigation requires to be carried out to address the complexity and multiplicity in projects which may lead it to wicked problems and ultimately turning it into a wicked project. As of todays expanding globalization, multiple stakeholders with conflicting standpoints increase; each one linked with the organization(s) is affected by the different customs, behaviours, laws and environmental concerns. Globalization also leads to the wicked problems for the organization. Methods to help decision makers deal with wicked problems are greatly needed. In pursuit of that some elastically open ended, participative, collaborative and adaptive approaches are needed to anticipate wicked problems in ERP implementation. This paper focuses on a decision support system model for implementation of ERP system. ERP often serves as a happy hunting ground for wicked problems because of its complex and multi-pronged nature. Other than that, we are reviewing some techniques and methodologies that are recommended to assist decision makers understand the unstructured and poorly defined complexity in ERP implementation. Comparative analyses of these techniques will not only assist in better understanding wicked problems, they are also being used to provide a framework for a suitable and sustainable decision support system for implementation.

Identifying the social factors and Representation for knowledge based Coalition formation system
Azleena Mohd Kassim, Yu-N Cheah, Intan Hashimah Mohd Hashim In order to form a collaborative team working on a specific task, we need to identify individuals that will be able to form groups and work together based on certain criteria such as their knowledge and personal role. Coalition formation is an approach dedicated to achieve optimal group arrangement. We are working in the direction of identifying strategies to build a coalition formation system taking into consideration the social factors. Computational cultural dynamics (CCD) is a research area that intertwines computer technology with behavioral and social sciences. We find that this research has potential to be further expanded to study and build a group setting. At the same time, the value of knowledge is seen as an important factor to determine the success of such coalition especially from the social setting. Therefore, with the motivation to achieve a CCD setting of a knowledge based coalition formation, social factors are studied, where the knowledge derived from this process will be identified, represented and stored. In this paper, we present a framework for the knowledge based coalition formation focusing on structuring the social factors chosen to initiate the knowledge process of the coalition formation system.

As there is lack of empirical evidence to prove the above, this study aims to determine the level of ICT use by museums in Malaysia and attempts to understand issues that have a profound influence on ICT implementation in their institutions and hence in their exhibition halls. A survey was conducted among 22 governing institutions for museums throughout Malaysia. The findings suggest that museums have adequate ICT infrastructure, services, and applications to run day-by-day administration and operations. However, there are rooms for improvement when it comes to museum exhibition halls. This study further reveals several issues that restricted these museums from using ICT as one of the means for historical, cultural, and heritage knowledge to be delivered to the general public and puts forward few recommendations to possibly curb these issues.

Organizational Commitment Towards software Process Improvement - An Irish software VsEs Case study
Shuib Bin Basri, Rory V. OConnor This paper presents a study of the software development processes of very small software companies, with a focus on the companys Software Process Improvement (SPI) activities. SPI has gained an increasing importance in software engineering domain. However, recent studies show that the obligation and commitment towards SPI especially in small companies is weak and not always taken seriously. This situation is often related to insufficient availability of resources either in term of financial, human and time in this type of companies. Accordingly, this paper explores the current situation in very small companies and gauges their acceptance levels towards SPI actions and the underlying reasons behind this. In this research we carried out a survey which contains open and close ended questions in a series of very small software development companies in Ireland. A quantitative analysis; that use a statistical analysis, and qualitative analysis; that adopt the qualitative content analysis method have been followed throughout this study. The results indicate that the SPI initiatives in very small software development companies are done on a small scale manner, informally and indirectly. In addition, the results also indicate that commitment and involvement of people in these organizations towards SPI is high.

Nuraini Abdul Rashid, Rana Ghadban, Hazrina Yusof Hamdani, Atheer A-Abdulrazaq
The rapid growth of genomic databases and the increased of queries against those databases have lead to the needs of new and efficient search and compare techniques. Researchers in bioinformatics have concentrated on exploring into different approaches in order to solve the problem of cost associated with the exhaustive search techniques. One of these is the CAF indexing algorithm which is considered to be a fast indexing algorithm in genomic information retrieval. However, there is still room for improvement in the CAFE indexing structure. This research aims to enhance the structure of CAFE inverted index by using a proper hash function to speedup retrieval process. The results of this research indicated that retrieval using the enhanced index is faster than retrieval using the original index (CAF).The benefit ratio of using the enhanced CAFE index compared to the retrieval time using the original CAFE index are between 62.8 to 74.9 for one query. However, we found that the memory space for storing the indexes are the same for both algorithms. The reason is that although the interval size decreases, each interval will now have an increased number of posting list.

Diyana Syamsiyah Rozali, Mohd Fadzil Hassan, Norshuhani Zamin The goal of assessment is to identify weaknesses in learners knowledge. There are various types of assessment in which among them are the Quantitative and Qualitative assessment. This paper is concerned with the qualitative assessment. The underlying principle of qualitative assessment motivates the research. Qualitative assessment is not about assessing the domain knowledge but it is about assessing the learners current and potential capacities related to the knowledge. Dynamic questions generation for qualitative assessment involves a strong degree of subjectiveness. Appropriate scoring mechanism is needed to assess learners level of knowledge and to dynamically create a subjective question that is adaptived to the learners current knowledge and understanding. The paper provides an overview of adaptive qualitative assessment and dynamic questions generation and a discussion on possible approaches found in the recent research as a guide to the development of an automated tool.

This paper presents an application of rough sets in identifying effective software engineering (SE) teams personality types composition. Identifying effective team personality composition is important to determine software project success. It was revealed that balance of members in personality types composition, which were Sensing (S) and Intuitive (N), Thinking (T) and Feeling (F) has assisted the teams to achieve higher software quality. In addition, Extroverted (E) members also gave an impact towards team performance. Even though size of empirical data was too small, the rough set technique allows generating significant personality types composition rules in assisting decision makers to form effective teams. Future works will include more empirical data in order to develop teams performance predicting model based on personality types.

Agent based Meeting scheduling in hierarchical Organizations

Ozgur Koray Sahingoz Personal Information Management systems are important tools which are used by individuals for organizing their daily calendars to remember important events like birthdays, anniversaries, appointments and meetings. The problem of scheduling meetings is a time-consuming and basic part of the daily tedious task in an organization. Meeting scheduling is a difficult task because current Personal Information Management systems cannot handle the responsibility of automatically managing time slots of meeting participants. In this paper a distributed multi-agent system architecture in which each participant is represented by an agent is presented. These agents autonomously work together to organize different participants to arrange meetings on their behalf. System is managed by a set of distributed static and mobile agents which are developed over Java Agent DEvelopment Framework-JADE for platform independence. System has developed with minimal message passing and without divulging the privacy of involved users. Experimental analysis shows that this approach is scalable and handling strong constraints.

Transformation of L2 Writers to Correct English: The Need for A Computer-Assisted Writing Tool
Tuan Norhafizah Tuan Zakaria, Mohd Juzaidin Ab Aziz, Tg Nor Rizan Tg Mohd Maasum Most of current existing writing tools are developed by native speakers of English (L1). Some of these writing tools may not be suitable for non-native writers (L2) who used English as a second language (L2). The writing styles of L2 writers are different from the writing styles of L1 writers. One of the main problems faced by L2 writers were generating ideas while writing. They tended to generate ideas in L1 and later translated into English as L2. They also lack in vocabulary which make the problem further. People with limited vocabularies are often forced to use the relatively few words they know without knowing their precise meaning. The objective of this paper is to discuss an approach to develop a computer-assisted writing tool for L2 writers. The vocabulary used in business letters will be investigated based on the part of letter, genre analysis and effective sentences and words for business letters. The collection of sentences and words based on these three aspects will be used to develop an electronic dictionary and develop rules to check the sentences and provide suggestive example sentences. Some techniques will be used in order to automatically detect and correct sentences.

The lack of emphasize on the usable interface design and scarce information regarding user studies and evaluation is a major concern. Within this context of developing countries, we uncover and explain the difficulty of creating HCI awareness and adopting usability are due to complexity of the government and national systems. We suggest that stakeholders and policy makers such as the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and The Malaysian Administrative Modernization and Management Planning Unit (MAMPU) are more relevant in influencing and/or reinforcing the incorporation of HCI in the workplace and enhance the usability of the products and software created in the organization at the managerial level.

An Improved security framework for Data Warehouse: A hybrid Approach

Sajjad Ahmad, Rohiza Ahmad The implementation of data warehouses (DWs) for the huge databases has become one of the major needs of the current times. Large organizations having different small databases need a proper integration of their small databases and development of data warehouses. The development of data warehouse for an organization helps in storing the statistical information that can be helpful in decision making process later on. This statistical information needs to be stored with proper security and confidentiality. At the same time, this information also needs to be readily available to all authorized users, in order to ensure the accuracy and consistency of data. Though, so far, a lot of work has been done towards the development of data warehouses, but not much attention has

Applying zachmans framework to Determine the Content of semantic Theses Digital Library
QurratuAini Adibah Ahmad Fazil, Zuraidah Abdullah,Shahrul Azman Mohd. Noah Digital library brought a high impact phenomena as it contributes a lot in term of new way in dealing with knowledge. Bazillion (2001) stated that libraries built after 1995 have a different look and feel that defines intellectual information centre where people and technology interact. Most scholars believed that the way knowledge been created and disseminated fundamentally were altered by a series of innovation begins by Michael S. Hart, with his Project Gutenberg as the first producer of free electronic books in 1971 (Bazillion, 2001). Apart from being the oldest digital library developed, Project Gutenberg also works as a catalyst in rapid development of multiple kind of digital libraries nowadays. Since then, digital library plays a vital role in supporting academia activities including creation, organization, preservation and dissemination of knowledge. As part of the extensive development and deployment of digital libraries initiatives over the past decades, attention should be drawn to its massive growth in content design and storage capacity. This study proposed a framework to determine the content of a semantic theses digital library based on the Zachmans Framework data dimension. Six artifacts in Zachmans Framework which are Data, Process, Place, People, Time and Motivation are applied to represent six layers of semantic digital library architecture. Twenty-four public and private institutions of higher learning in Malaysia were selected for data collection and further evaluation.

formal specification Languages for Real-Time systems

Rabia Sammi, Iram Rubab, Muhammad Aasim Qureshi This paper presents a survey about the formal specification languages which are used to specify Real-time systems. Real time systems are critical systems such as nuclear missile system, auto pilot system etc. A minor fault in these systems can result into serious consequences. These consequences may comprise threat to human life. Therefore it is very vital to specify the system correctly. To achieve the correct and unambiguous specification, formal languages are used. Formal languages increase the confidence on the specification and hence the overall system. This paper compares formal languages which are used to specify real-time systems such as VDM++, RTSJ, ASTR AL. A comparison criterion is established to select the best suitable specification languages for Real-Time systems. In the end a small example is mapped in to three selected specification languages which conclude that which language provides the best constructs and tools for Real-Time systems.
