With advancements in communication and the internet, Synchronous shared experience has emerged as a field of interest for researchers and scientists. The inter-destination synchronization mechanism is a fundamental requirement of synchronous shared experience. Inter-destination synchronization has been studied in the perspective of stream-based media, which does not work well with the group of participants with varied bandwidth and computing resources. Document-based media provides functionality of alternative content selection on bases of available resource, which made it a potential solution for inter-destination synchronization when participants of synchronous shared experience have varied bandwidth and computing resources.In this research work, we adopted two of the stream based inter-destination synchronization techniques to work with document-based media. We implemented, evaluated and compared the results of master-slave and synchronization-manager techniques. For both techniques, the play-out differences are within an acceptable range. However, the synchronization-manager technique performed better than the master-slave technique. Finally, we extended inter-destination synchronization techniques to synchronize user interaction actions across distributed participants

With the growing number of streaming services, internet providers are increasingly needing to be able to identify the types of data and content providers that are being used on their networks. Traditional methods, such as IP and port scanning, are not always available for clients using VPNs or with providers using varying IP addresses. As such, in this paper we explore a potential method using neural networks and Markov Decision Process in order to augment deep packet inspection techniques in identifying the source and class of video streaming services.

AI Is disrupting almost every industry in every country and has been said to have ushered the fourth industrial revolution. The development of AI, however, has given rise to a new ethical, societal and legal challenges requiring governments of countries to develop a legal framework to address those concerns over this technology. This study investigate these challenges in the context of UAE. The study concludes that UAE is a pioneer in dealing with these issues crafting law that governs all side of the technology at the earliest possible introduction.
