The way people interact with handheld devices such as smartphone and tablet tends heavily dependent on age and experience. It can argued that the automatic identification of an age group or a level of user’s experience based on the way they are using the devices could contribute greatly to providing adaptive usage environment for each user. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of employing the dynamic features generated by users of smartphones and tablets to automatically recognise their age group. To achieve that we created a database of over 2520 trials from 42 participants of elderly (60+) and younger users (20-39) using finger based handwriting of 10 different English words. The user recognition consists of three stages: collecting touch hand writing data, extracting features, and classification. Handwriting on touchscreen data was collected on two sizes of smartphones devices based finger. The features used were force pressure (FP), movement time (MT), and signature precision (SP). In the training dataset, the feature’s average for each trial of 6 across 10 words was calculated. A KNN classification is used to classify user age. The study considered number of users in the training dataset for 100%, 50%, and one user (i.e. 1%). The results revealed there were high classification accuracy on small smartphone compared to mini-tablet. The classification accuracy using the combined features for all users on the training dataset was (82%) on small smartphone and (77%) on mini-tablet. We found that the classification of younger users (95%) were more accurate than the elderly users (55%). The study provides an evidence of the possibility of classifying user age group based on hand writing words on touchscreen based finger.

Processor array architecture is a popular approach to improve computation of similarity distance matrices; however, most of the proposed architectures are designed in an ad hoc manner, some have not even considered dimensionality and size of the datasets. We believe a systematic approach is necessary to explore the design space. In this work, we present a technique for designing scalable processor array architecture for the similarity distance matrix computation. Implementation results of the proposed architecture show improved compromise between area and speed. Moreover, it scales better for large and high-dimensional datasets since the architecture is fully parameterized and only has to deal with one data dimension in each time step.

Student Academic Performance is a great concern for academic institutions in all levels of academic years. Techniques like classification, clustering and association are provided by Data Mining. In this paper, two classification techniques, Decision Tree (J48) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN), are used to build a classification model, that can predict the academic performance of university students in Jordan, expected GPA in precise. A dataset has been gathered using online questionnaire, and certain attributes were selected to test their relevance to the academic performance of a Jordanian university students. The paper describes the methodology conducted to apply the J48 and ANN, using a special tool (WEKA), and the results are discussed in details, showing a better performance for ANN in some cases, and a better performance for Decision Tree in others.

Database as a service is one of the important services provided by Cloud Computing. Recently, a Two Layered Protection Scheme for securing the database has been proposed. The scheme employs two symmetric key encryption algorithms, the Order Preserving Encryption and Format Preserving Encryption. Each of the two encryption algorithms uses a different encryption key that is derived from Key Splitting module. Key Splitting module generates two keys from a Main Key by using a randomized algorithm. Randomized algorithm does not guarantee that the generated keys are always different because the resulting keys depend on the generated random numbers. Hence, in order to increase the security of the Two Layered Protection Scheme, a Genetic based Key Splitting algorithm is proposed. The purpose of the proposed algorithm is to generate the best random two keys that have maximum difference so that the two keys cannot be derived from each other. Simulation results have shown that the proposed algorithm generates random keys with maximum difference.

Computer and cognitive scientists are making serious attempts via developing algorithms which aim to simulate some aspects of human’s cognitive behavior.In this context, it is not surprising that research efforts are directed towards studying human’s creativity in an attempt to understand how humans produce creative content, and in what sense does it differ from cognitive content.The idea we are proposing in this research is that we may to a certain level, though humble, emulate some aspects of human creativity. We propose a method which involves designing a program that generates content that could be considered creative. It is important to note that we are not making any claim about matching human creativity level which we believe is limitless and cannot be measured. We shall apply our proposed program on a field that is considered as one of the creative fields in human life and that is based on the idea of combinatorial creativity. The field is culinary arts. The program has been tested to generate creative culinary content using the culinary knowledge of certain Arabic countries and modeling their culinary practice into several steps inspired by the pattern of their process of combining several ingredients.The results were satisfying where only 2 out of 255 were considered as unacceptable results. The program showed its ability in generating creative content in the field of culinary arts. We aim to expand our experiments and to generalize this program to suit several artistic domains.

Due to their large number of applications, eye-tracking systems have gain attention recently. In this work, we propose 4 new features to support the most used feature by these systems, which is the location (x, y). These features are based on the white areas in the four corners of the sclera; the ratio of the whites area (after segmentation) to the corners area is used as a feature coming from each corner. In order to evaluate the new features, we designed a simple eye-tracking system using a simple webcam, where the users faces and eyes are detected, which allows for extracting the traditional and the new features. The system was evaluated using 10 subjects, who looked at 5 objects on the screen. The experimental results using some machine learning algorithms show that the new features are user dependent, and therefore, they cannot be used (in their current format) for a multiuser eye-tracking system. However, the new features might be used to support the traditional features for a better single-user eye-tracking system, where the accuracy results were in the range of 0.90 to 0.98.

The increasing importance of combating information security crimes has prompted individual organizations to enforce information security compliance. How such enforcement affects the attitude of individual employees towards information security compliance, however, is unclear. With the insights from the organizational theory literature, this study tests and validates a conceptual model that explores the impact of organizational enforcement on the attitude of employees using structural equation modelling based on the data collected from a survey of 294 employees in organizations. The study shows that both organizational security culture and enforcement processes have a positive impact on the attitude of employees. The study further reveals that there is a positive relationship between organizational security culture, security technologies, and enforcement processes in enforcing security compliance. Such relationships form a mutual force for continually fostering a positive attitude of employees toward information security compliance in organizations.
