E-learning tools can provide training and education to large number of students with diverse cultural backgrounds and educational levels. However, e-learning could be failed in education when overestimating what e-learning can accomplish. Some people normally do not understand the weaknesses and limitations of e-learning and some of them may expect too much. In this paper, we review the different e-learning tools such as MOODLE, and Blackboard. We also comment on the most important aims of each tool and analyze the advantages and disadvantages. From this analysis we obtain a global view of the current and future tendencies of e-learning tools and therefore we provide possible important comments for using e-learning tools such as MOODLE in the classroom. Upon to our teaching experience, MOODLE is effective in the e-learning development. Authors and practitioners showed a greater preference for MOODLE over Blackboar...

The tool can also be used to monitor JADE applications and to report the occurrence of certain events of interest. The collected trace data can be used later by

The important goal of this translation is to enriching the source schema using semantics that might have not been clearly expressed in it, by acquiring as much information as possible about objects and relationships that exist among them. The next step is to produce an enhanced meta data model, which captures essential characteristics of target XML schema, and is suitable for translation. In details, we present translations of all constructs of an RDB into an XML Schema and integrated these into an algorithm. This process is to simplify exchange of data between different databases, practically the import of data of RDBs into XML documents. A prototype has been developed to realize the algorithm and generate target schema. To validate our proposal, we present experimental results using both schemas. The results show that the proposed algorithm is correct.
A Proposed Method to Recognize the Research Trends using Web-based Search Engines

Several well-known mathematical and statistical theories have been used, from which a mathematical model has been derived to predict the agent development. The proposed solution attempts to convert the raw resulted number of documents found on the Internet (in PDF format) into useful information, and fit a curve representing the number of searched data of every year. A prototype has been designed, to search multi-keywords at the same time and collect the required data automatically to eliminate the useless data, before converting it into usable data.

One of these threats is a particular type of malware known as a polymorphic worm. This is a program that can mutate its appearance with each infection and spreads through the network via semantics-preserving code manipulation methods or self-encryption techniques. This paper describes the characteristics of polymorphic worms and then explains the most common forms of pattern based detection, such as Autograph.

In this paper, we present the Genetic Algorithms to improve performance of Arabic information retrieval system based on vector space model. The main idea in this paper is the usage of an adaptive matching function, which obtained from a weighted combination of four similarity measures (Dot, Cosine, Jaccard, and Dice). The Genetic Algorithms used to optimize these matching functions, through obtaining the best achievable combination of these weights. The proposed genetic process is tested on Arabic documents collection and then results has shown a considerable improvement on the precision as performance measure.

The problem is that developers often trust string input without checking for validity. Typically, a lit-tle attention is paid to it in a web development project, because overenthusiastic validation can tend to break the ...

In this paper, we propose a novel approach for retrieving authoring information that combines keyword and semantic-based approaches. In this approach, the user is interested only in retrieving authoring information considering some specified keywords and ignore
An expert code generator using rule-based and frames knowledge representation techniques

The ECG-RF system presented in this paper is a passive code generator that carries out the task of automatic code generation in fixed-structure software. To develop an ECG-RF system, the artificial intelligence (AI) of rule-based system and frames knowledge representation techniques was applied to a code generation task. ECG-RF fills a predefined frame of a certain fixed-structure program with code chunks retrieved from ECG-RF's knowledge base. The filling operation is achieved by ECG-RF's inference engine and is guided by the information collected from the user via a graphic user interface (GUI). In this paper, an ECG-RF system for generating a device driver program is presented and implemented with VBasic software. The results show that the ECG-RF design concept is reasonably reliable.

A Secure Data Transmission Mechanism for Cloud Outsourced Data

In Cloud, the data and associated software are not under their control. In addition, with the growing demands for Cloud networks communication, it becomes increasingly important to secure the data flow path. The existing research related to security mechanisms only focuses on securing the flow of information in the communication networks. There is a lack of work on improving the performance of networks to meet quality of service QoS constrains for various services. The security mechanisms work by encryption and decryption of the information, but do not consider the optimised use of the network resources. In this paper the authors propose a Secure Data Transmission Mechanism SDTM with Preemption Algorithm that combines between security and quality of service. Their developed SDTM enhanced with Malicious Packets Detection System MPDS which is a set of technologies and solutions. It enforces security policy and bandwidth compliance on all devices seeking to access Cloud network computing resources, in order to limit damage from emerging security threats and to allow network access only to compliant and trusted endpoint devices. This SDTM also provides support for quality of service. High-level simulations and the related results are provided to show the properties of the SDTM.
