As the reach of the internet expands to cover ever broader aspects of our economic and social welfare, cyber security is emerging as a major concern for researchers and practitioners, dealing as it does with privacy, confidentiality, user authentication, etc. E-learning systems epitomize computing systems and networks of the internet generation, since they involve multiple stakeholders, geographically distributed resources and data, and special requirements for confidentiality, authentication, and privacy. In this paper, we discuss the application of a cyber security metric to E-learning systems, in light of their standard architecture, their well-defined classes of stakeholders, and their specific security requirements.

In this paper, we will discuss the experience of developing projects based upon a central real world example to introduce first year students to engineering. We will outline how the theme of two dimensional barcodes was used to introduce our students in the freshmen Foundations of Engineering I (ENGR111) course to the key skills of engineering design, problem solving, teamwork and computer programming. Results show that the students found the experience positive.

Considerable research in the field of Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) has focused on helping students increase learning by taking advantage of technological progress. As the use of social media by learners continues to increase, however, ITS should go beyond teaching based on isolated environments (platforms) and turn toward community-based learning within social networks. In this paper we introduce a new approach to learning based on social networks. This approach takes advantage of the increasing enthusiasm among learners for spending time in social networks. The goal is to use some of that time for learning, by replacing one of the various social game applications with an Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS). During a learning session, learners are encouraged to improve their scores by challenging either a score predefined by the system or the scores posted by their Facebook friends. In this paper, we describe a new system called LBC (Learning By Challenging) that enables the user to learn and to share their knowledge and resources in a social environment. It also provides an environment that protects the learner's privacy if he or she so desires.
智能辅导系统(ITS)领域的大量研究都集中在利用技术进步帮助学生提高学习效率上。然而,随着学习者对社交媒体的使用不断增加,ITS应该超越基于孤立环境(平台)的教学,转向在社交网络中以社区为基础的学习。本文介绍了一种新的基于社会网络的学习方法。这种方法利用了学习者在社交网络上花费时间的日益增长的热情。我们的目标是通过智能辅导系统(ITS)取代各种社交游戏应用程序,将部分时间用于学习。在学习过程中,学习者被鼓励通过挑战系统预定义的分数或Facebook好友发布的分数来提高分数。在本文中,我们描述了一个名为LBC (Learning By challenge)的新系统,使用户能够在社会环境中学习和共享他们的知识和资源。它还提供了一个保护学习者隐私的环境,如果他或她愿意的话。

Packet classification and packet scheduling are important and basic techniques used in network nodes, in order to provide quality of service for packets belonging to different applications. In this paper we propose a new priority based, adaptive queuing algorithm, including an adaptive, packet-by-packet classifier for differentiating services in IP based networks. The proposed queuing paradigm focuses on providing delay sensitive application's requirements while not imposing noticeable delay on other applications and improving fairness and the performance of the system at the same time. The main advantage of the algorithm is that, it can dynamically adopt its parameters to the changing nature of the Internet. The simulation results, which are very promising, confirm that the algorithm has reached its goals.

Web-based laboratory has become a useful tool in Engineering and Science education. Many educational institutions now days use web-based laboratory technology to conduct laboratory experiments for their students. This paper discusses the implementation of interactive Digital Electronics laboratories designed and implemented at University of Dar es Salaam. Particularly, the implementation of Decoder Encoder experiment using interactive web-based laboratories. The LabView 8.6 is used on the NI ELVIS platform. The use of web-based laboratory came after realizing the difficulties imposed by the traditional laboratories. Web-based laboratories allow students and educators to interact with real laboratory equipment located anywhere in the world at anytime. The Decoder Encoder experiment is one of the four digital experiments designed and deployed using web-based technology at university of Dar es Salaam.

In this paper, we define analytically a mathematical model of a VoIP Server, or more precisely the Asterisk server from the search results of Eduardo and Pablo Montoro casilari. From these models we verified the similarity of results from the outcome of the experiment cited above. Our theme therefore focuses on using material: RAM, CPU and bandwidth of a VoIP Server with respect to the number of calls emitted by clients using the serve.

3D Design is not really a new technology; in fact the first ASIC design was designed in 1986. These last years, the interest in 3D is emerging to deal with the problem of the interconnect delay which is overcoming the gates delay in nanometer technologies. 3D ASIC design is facing industrial and academic challenges. We present in this work, the description of a 3D ASIC designs practical work teaching to students applying to the Master degree.

This paper present a case study report on the findings of an empirical study conducted at the Central University College (CUC) in Ghana on the use of “OUTSTART” AD-CONNECT mobile learning (m-learning) application for authoring m-learning content. The system use the familiar Microsoft power point with an added features which comes with authoring tools which is simple to use by teachers for creating m-learning content. The main objective of the study is to make m-learning content authoring very easy and simple for the teacher with easy to use tools so as to boost their stake in the use of mobile learning platform (MLP) for teaching and learning anywhere anytime. The result shows that the success of m-learning implementation and acceptance is partly dependent on the user friendliness, simplicity and easy to use applications by teachers. In all 90 lecturers participated in the project. The significance of the study was the development of the “STUMP” model which is meant to be a framework to guide m-learning system developers and implementers.
