With the expansion of Web servers and cloud infrastructures, collaborative Web applications are increasingly used. For instance, the e-learning is a field where students, tutors and professors share remote electronic resources and processing. Nevertheless, interference between information may occur that is data can illicitly flow to not authorized users either explicitly or implicitly. Therefore, one challenge in collaborative applications is to ensure an end-to-end security preserving user's privacy and verifying information integrity. We propose a practical solution to secure standard Web servers and isolate user's information. A use case of a classical meeting application, typically used in e-learning environment, shows the efficiency of our approach.

In this paper we present the blended-learning concept of a basic course attended by about 1000 students of various courses of study each semester. The traditionally organized course with lecture and exercise is afflicted by different time tables and knowledge background of the students, as well as being a subject with high degree of abstraction. Adding lecture and exercise recordings, interactive animations, videos, tests and a quiz as mandatory and voluntary teaching material allows an autonomous learning process at individual speed. Evaluation results and access statics show a very good acceptance of the new elements, especially lecture recordings and weekly online-tests.

In the past decade, a number of adaptive hypermedia learning systems have been developed. However, most of these systems tailor presentation content and navigational support solely according to students' prior knowledge. On the other hand, previous research suggested that learning styles significantly affect student learning because they refer to how learners process and organize information. To this end, this paper presents an approach to integrate learning styles into adaptive e-learning hypermedia. The main objectives were to develop a Learning Style based Adaptive E-learning Hypermedia System (LS-AEHS) and assess the effect of adapting educational materials individualized to the student's learning style. In this work, our main goal aims to adopting the theory of experiential learning in the context of the DAVID KOLB's model to pass of this learning style model to define the adaptation rules in order to adapt the learning content and the navigation to each learning style in KOLB model. To achieve the main objectives, a case study was developed. An experimental evaluation was designed to evaluate the new approach of matching learning materials with learning styles and their influence on student's learning achievement. The findings support the use of learning styles as guideline for adaptation into the adaptive e-learning hypermedia systems.

Les ontologies deviennent, de plus en plus, des modèles de représentations et de stockage d'informations très efficaces facilitant le traitement et la gestion de connaissances à travers les techniques de l'IA, et offrant le potentiel d'assemblage d'une grande quantité d'informations à travers ce qu'on appelle « la fusion d'ontologies ». Préalablement chaque source de données ou BDD peut faire l'objet d'une construction ontologique. La contribution adressée dans ce papier et de concevoir un algorithme lexico-sémantique pour la fusion semi-automatique d'ontologies. Le caractère semi-automatique est assuré par l'intervention humaine où l'Ingénieur de Connaissances intervient pour valider les résultats obtenus par le module de calcul de similarités. Ce dernier est basé sur un algorithme lexico-sémantique qui combine des mesures de similarité lexicale et sémantique pour identifier les concepts similaires entre deux ontologies différentes. Les concepts jugés similaires à base de la combinaison des mesures de similarités lexicales et sémantiques, et après la validation par l'Ingénieur de Conaissances seront par la suite fusionnés en un seul concept dans l'ontologie résultat de la fusion. Nous avons opté pour cette combinaison pour renforcer la faiblesse des mesures lexicales notamment pour les synonymes et les homonymes. Les deux parties, lexicale et sémantique, du module de calcul de similarités sont basées sur la technique de la recherche d'informations (Information Retreival). La partie lexicale est basée sur le calcul de la distance entre les deux concepts en entrée, alors que la partie sémantique est basée sur le modèle d'extension des deux ontologies à partir de wordNet. Ensuite la similarité sémantique entre les deux synsets des deux concepts en question est calculée. Après la combinaison des deux résultats, l'Ingénieur de Connaissances accepte ou rejette la similarité en utilisant son background sur le domaine d'application et en se basant sur ses propres besoins. Les concepts acceptés comme similaires sont fusionnés en un seul concept. En fin, une comparaison de l'algorithme avec les outils qui existent dans la littérature aura lieu.

Libraries all over the world suffer from common problems like flexibility associated with the digital data, lower levels of efficiency, and huge cost involved in managing the entire IT infrastructure themselves. Few options are available when it comes to collaborating with other libraries as well which is the prime reason for subordinate levels of efficiency. Cloud computing would help us in bridging the gap between digital libraries and IT. Sharing of data among the libraries will in principle reduce the overall cost and increase the efficiency. Capital expenditure done on infrastructure will chiefly be converted into operational expenditure. It will also enhance the users' experience and will help in making the libraries a lot more scalable.

With the sprawl of information on the web, came the need for mechanisms increasingly able to organize and maintain information to provide structured responses and more accurate response to user requests. Based on ontologies, the development of the semantic web offers new opportunities and challenges in the design of a generation of adaptative systems, where user modeling is a key element for personalized interaction. This is the result that the idea of semantic referencing of the learner to provide the learning system of relevant information to customize and tailor learning. It is within this context that the scope of our work to integrate a new vision of modeling and model management learning in distributed environments and open, on three different aspects of this model; first the cognitive and knowledge representation of the learner by offering a semantic learning of the actor, and the notion of skills after the appearance interoperability that will be processed by the web services and semantic web languages and end the scalability aspect of this model.

Providing security for sensor nodes is one of the important issues in WSNs because they are deployed in the harsh environment. WSNs are distributed in nature and preparing centralized security solutions cannot be a suitable for WSNs. There are various sensor holes that may be formed in WSNs and create variations in network topologies and also threaten the upper layer applications such as sinkhole, black holes, wormholes and Sybil attack. Wormhole attack occur when two or more malicious nodes receive packets at one point of the network and transmit them to another malicious node by a wired or wireless tunnel; wormhole is carried out easily without requiring compromising sensor nodes in the network. Also, the wormhole attack may cause other type of attacks like DoS or Sybil attack. Using a cryptographic technique is not enough to prevent wormhole attack. In this study, a new scheme is proposed based on modifying the forwarding packet process, selecting the best neighbour and using hop count technique in order to prevent and detect wormhole and thus, reduce the number of untrusted packets in geographic routing protocols. Performance evaluation of the proposed scheme is done using mathematical modelling and simulation. The results are compared with some related works such as Authentication of Nodes Scheme (ANS) and Reverse Routing Scheme (RRS).

The new form of education called "E-Learning" has grown significantly, especially in training institutions (Universities, Schools, Businesses, etc.). Consequently, they develop their software needs assessment in order to assess the information, and allow the learner to correct his knowledge autonomously. The teaching of languages takes place in the context of distance education and involves several research areas, as automatic processing of natural language and modeling of learning action in distance education environment. Therefore, the development of a remote Evaluation system for Arabic requires the preparation of various linguistic tools such as analyzers In this paper we focus on the development of a Morphological Analyzer In Arabic Language which can be operated in a remote evaluation system of the Arab that support during the seventh year basic level grammar taught in Tunisia. This work proposes to establish morphological analysis by promoting treatments that can be used by a system as the decomposition of a text, determining the properties of a word, the search in a text..., these treatments support learning through an explanation of ambiguous words, the integration strategies of Arabic grammar and solving exercises.

This paper presents the development process of a web-based student teachers' ePortfolio system for the Faculty of Education at the University of Malta. Literature shows that at a higher educational level, a student ePortfolio is becoming an important tool as it is being used to enhance the learning process through constant tutor and peer feedback, self-regulation and reflection. Many ePortfolio applications exist that may help university faculties to collaborate with their students. However, these existing applications concentrate on general ePortfolio content and allow limited flexibility to be tailored to specific structured ePortfolios that is actually needed by the demanding faculty. In our opinion a new tailor-made structured ePortfolio is needed specifically to replace the manual professional development portfolio system. The proposed system will be the official ePortfolio for the Faculty of Education to be used compulsory by students that are reading a bachelors degree in Education with a secondary track at the University of Malta. Therefore we proposed the full lifecycle development of a new web-based student teachers' ePortfolio which we call STeP. A sample of fifteen selected participants, which include the chairperson of the Professional Development Portfolio, an administrator, tutors and students have taken part in different stages of the software development and played an important role in its success. We show all the stages involved that led to the successful implementation of the proposed tailor-made ePortfolio system. We evaluate our system and present a qualitative outcome for its implementation.

The main focus of this paper is to investigate the use of Technology Acceptance Model to understand the factors that affect people's acceptance of E-Learning Systems and Websites, including cultural factors. E-Learning Technologies are in general considered to be useful and important to the learning process. Despite this perceived usefulness, some people are still not adopting the use of E-Learning and considering it to be still not one of the best options for Learning.
