- An Authoring Tool for As-in-Class E-Lectures in E-Learning Systems
- This study lists and discusses the basic features that any E-Learning system should consider. It also proposes an authoring algorithm, namely Slide Generating Algorithm that uses the Authoring-on-the-Fly approach to create electronic course content from real lectures. A tool using the proposed algorithm was implemented packaging the outcome in a...

- Digital Identities and the Promise of the Technology Trio: PKI, Smart Cards, and Biometrics
- This paper looks at one of the evolving crimes of the digital age; identity theft. It argues and explains that if three key technologies were implemented together namely biometrics, smart cards, and PKI, then they can deliver a robust and trusted identification and authentication infrastructure. The paper concludes that such...

- A Bayesian Networks in Intrusion Detection Systems
- Intrusion Detection Systems IDSs have been widely used to overcome security threats in computer networks. Anomaly-based approaches have the advantage of being able to detect previously unknown attacks, but they suffer from the difficulty of building robust models of acceptable behaviour which may result in a large number of false...

- A Framework for Distributed Dynamic Load Balancing in Heterogeneous Cluster
- Distributed Dynamic Load Balancing DDLB is an important system function destined to distribute workload among available processors to improve throughput and/or execution times of parallel computer in Cluster Computing. Instead of balancing the load in cluster by process migration, or by moving an entire process to a less loaded computer,...

- Evaluating the Effect of Inheritance on the Characteristics of Object Oriented Programs
- This paper considers a fact that software measures, which many of them were defined many years ago, are still not widely used in software industry, and therefore some additional insights will be gained by investigating Halstead's metrics and use them to propose more software metrics. Since the object oriented approach...

- Study of Network on Chip Resources Allocation for QoS Management
- The increasing complexity of integrated circuits and application requirements drive the research of new on-chip interconnection architectures. A network on chip draws on concepts inherited from distributed systems and computer networks subject areas to interconnect IP cores in a structured and scalable way. The main goal pursued is to achieve...
