Designing a competency framework for graduate levels in computing sciences: The middle-east context
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
This paper focuses on the current research work done within the Pro-Skima project (2015-2018) which aims at providing a suitable method to evolve classical Information Technology Master graduate levels towards some teaching ...
Social-sensor cloud service for scene reconstruction
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
We propose a new social-sensor cloud services selection framework for scene reconstruction. The proposed research represents social media data streams, i.e., images' metadata and related posted information, as social sensor ...
Probabilistic qualitative preference matching in long-term IaaS composition
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
We propose a qualitative similarity measure approach to select an optimal set of probabilistic Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) requests according to the provider's probabilistic preferences over a long-term period. The ...
The PiP model and progress in ground vibration from railways
(
Australian Acoustical Society
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Vibration in the ground causes problems. At large amplitude vibration causes damage, the most obvious example being earthquake damage. But the ground motion in a damaging earthquake is typically low-frequency (below 1Hz) ...
A Hardware Based Ricean Fading Radio Channel Simulator
(
IEEE Xplore
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The rise of the need of fading radio channel simulators is due to time and cost of field tests of wireless communications systems. Growth in the demand for fixed wireless access increases the need for wide area system ...

(
springer link
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The advancement in 3D printing technologies appears to be the key toward affordable and functional artificial limbs. The loss of an amputee’s capability to do functional tasks like grasping objects has an obvious effect ...
Improving comfort and productivity of workers at moderate activity and hot environment by means of a PCM cooling vest
(
American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, ASHRAE
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The effect of using a phase change material (PCM) cooling vest by a worker performing moderate activity in a hot environment is studied through the use of a validated integrated fabric-PCM and bio-heat model. The integrated ...
Numerical simulation of one-stage gearbox dynamics in the presence of simultaneous tooth cracks
(
International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration, IIAV
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Gears are vital components in various industrial machinery. Tooth fatigue crack is amongst the most common causes of gear failure. Early detection of tooth cracks is crucial for effective con-dition-based monitoring. This ...
