ABSTRACT
Interpretation of image contents is one of the objectives in computer vision specifically in image
processing. In this era it has received much awareness of researchers. In image interpretation the
partition of the image into object and background is a severe step. Segmentation separates an image
into its component regions or objects. Image segmentation t needs to segment the object from the
background to read the image properly and identify the content of the image carefully. In this
context, edge detection is a fundamental tool for image segmentation. In this paper an attempt is
made to study the performance of most commonly used edge detection techniques for image
segmentation and also the comparison of these techniques is carried out with an experiment by
using MATLAB software.

ABSTRACT
The increasing criminal activities using digital information as the means or targets warrant
for a structured manner in dealing with them. Since 1984 when a formalized process been
introduced, a great number of new and improved computer forensic investigation processes
have been developed. In this paper, we reviewed a few selected investigation processes that
have been produced throughout the years and then identified the commonly shared processes.
Hopefully, with the identification of the commonly shard process, it would make it easier for
the new users to understand the processes and also to serve as the basic underlying concept
for the development of a new set of processes. Based on the commonly shared processes, we
proposed a generic computer forensics investigation model, known as GCFIM.

ABSTRACT
The increasing volume of unsolicited bulk e-mail (also known as spam) has generated a need for reliable anti-
spam filters. Machine learning techniques now days used to automatically filter the spam e-mail in a very
successful rate. In this paper we review some of the most popular machine learning methods (Bayesian
classification, k-NN, ANNs, SVMs, Artificial immune system and Rough sets) and of their applicability to
the problem of spam Email classification. Descriptions of the algorithms are presented, and the comparison
of their performance on the SpamAssassin spam corpus is presented.

ABSTRACT
Systematic software development process involves estimation of size, effort, schedule and cost
of a software project and analysis of critical factors affecting these estimates. In literature there
are many methods for software estimation and categorization of critical factors. More than 50%
of the projects undertaken have challenged the initially proposed estimates. Even if we consider
updating estimates at various phases of software development, the percentage of challenged
projects reduces marginally. The reason for such a situation is that the decisions are made on
historical and collected data. Therefore, software data collection to a reasonable accuracy and its
validation is important both for decision making and validating software development process.
In this paper an effort is made to highlight the importance of software data collection. Collected
data is utilized to validate effort estimation model formulated by the authors. Comparison of
effort values obtained from popular estimation models is also made. The data collected has also
helped in identifying the critical factors affecting the estimates.

ABSTRACT
One of the challenges of modern information retrieval is to adequately evaluate Information Retrieval System
(IRS) in order to estimate future performance in a specified application domain. Since there are many
algorithms in literature the decision to select one for usage depends mostly on the evaluation of the systems’
performance in the domain. This paper presents how visual and scalar evaluation methods complement one
another to adequately evaluate information retrieval systems. The visual evaluation methods are capable of
indicating whether one IRS performs better than another IRS fully or partially. An overall performance of
IRS is revealed using scalar evaluation methods. The use of both types of evaluation methods will give a
clear picture of the performance of the IRSs. The Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) curve and
Precision-Recall (P-R) curve were used to illustrate the visual evaluation methods. Scalar methods notably
precision, recall, Area Under Curve (AUC) and F measure were used.

ABSTRACT
It is known that IT projects are high-risk. To achieve project success, the strategies to avoid and reduce risks
must be designed meticulously and implemented accordingly. This paper presents methods for avoiding and
reducing risks throughout the development of an information system, specifically electronic payment system
to handle tuition in the universities in Indonesia. The university policies, regulations and system models are
design in such a way to resolve the project key success factors. By implementing the proposed methods, the
system has been successfully developed and currently operated. The research is conducted in Parahyangan
Catholic University, Bandung, Indonesia.
KEYWORDS
university electronic payment system, tuition payment system, resolving key success factor, ensuring IS
project success.

SECURITY THREATS ON CLOUD COMPUTING VULNERABILITIES

ABSTRACT
Clouds provide a powerful computing platform that enables individuals and organizations to
perform variety levels of tasks such as: use of online storage space, adoption of business
applications, development of customized computer software, and creation of a “realistic” network
environment. In previous years, the number of people using cloud services has dramatically
increased and lots of data has been stored in cloud computing environments. In the meantime, data
breaches to cloud services are also increasing every year due to hackers who are always trying to
exploit the security vulnerabilities of the architecture of cloud. In this paper, three cloud service
models were compared; cloud security risks and threats were investigated based on the nature of
the cloud service models. Real world cloud attacks were included to demonstrate the techniques
that hackers used against cloud computing systems. In addition,countermeasures to cloud security
breaches are presented.

INCREASING THE TRANSISTOR COUNT BY CONSTRUCTING A TWO-LAYER
CRYSTAL SQUARE ON A SINGLE CHIP
Haissam El-Aawar Associate Professor, Computer Science/Information Technology
Departments Lebanese International University – LIU Bekaa-Lebanon
ABSTRACT
According to the Moore’s law, the number of transistor should be doubled every 18 to 24 months. The main
factors of increasing the number of transistor are: a density and a die size. Each of them has a serious physical
limitation; the first one “density” may be reached “Zero” after few years, which causes limitation in
performance and speed of a microprocessor, the second one “die size” cannot be increased every 2 years, it
must be fixed for several years, otherwise it will affect the economical side. This article aims to increase the
number of transistors, which increase the performance and the speed of the microprocessor without or with a
little bit increasing the die size, by constructing a two-layer crystal square for transistors, which allows
increasing the number of transistors two additional times. By applying the new approach the number of
transistors in a single chip will be approximately doubled every 24 months according to Moore’s Law without
changing rapidly the size of a chip (length and width), only the height of a chip must be changed for putting
the two layers.
KEYWORDS
