In Social media networks, many bonds and connections can be established whether being direct or indirect ties. In fact, Social networks are used not only by people but also by companies. People usually create their own profiles and join communities to discuss different common issues that they have interest in. On the other hand, companies also can create their virtual presence on the social media networks to benefit from this media to understand the customers and gather richer information about them. With all of the benefits and advantages of social media networks, they should not always be seen as a safe place for communicating, sharing information and ideas, and establishing virtual communities. These information and ideas could carry with them hatred speeches that must be detecte...

The current CAX (CAD/CAM/CAE) tools use computer graphics extensively, while helping in conceiving better designs with improved quality. Nowadays, engineering product development is being done concurrently and collaboratively, due to the advances in computer graphics. This paper presents a brief overview on evolution of computer graphics over the decades and its impact on the engineering product development. Conceptual analysis is done in order to find out the impact of computer graphics on engineering product development. It also attempts to present, how advances in computer graphics, have revolutionized the current engineering product development and what future technologies will offer. Key words: Computer graphics, engineering product development, computer graphic sciences.

Organizations must take more creative steps in their use of information technology to make their business more attractive to customers rather than their competitors. Loyalty programs are a prime example of keeping a competitive edge in today’s market. The success of these programs rely on keeping track of the activities and accounts of many, perhaps even millions of customers, which would not be without a customer loyalty system. Thus, this paper introduces the development of a customer loyalty system which can compute, generate, and provide reports to the business stakeholders concerning their work, customers, and their market share (growth). Managers can then easily learn how to use this system and integrate it within their other business applications.

This study aims mainly at answering the question: “Does Control Objectives of Information and related Technology (COBIT) domain have an impact on Information criteria and IT resources?” Questionnaires were distributed to 38 Jordanian banks. Our results indicated that there is a strong relationship between the three domains: planning and organization (PO), acquisition and implementation (AI), delivery and supporting (DS) on information technology resources (ITR) and people, information and application; where it is weak with infrastructure. The relationship, however, between monitoring and evaluation (ME) domain and people, application and infrastructure that is weak and where it is supported with adequate information. A...

Storage as a Service (STaaS) is among the most important and popular kind of services being investigated in the Cloud computing community to serve both private users and business enterprise with remote and scalable data storage that can be charged per customer usage. Providing safety, privacy and availability for the data that is hosted in cloud are the major concerns for users and businesses. This survey presents the data storage security concerns that arise due to the nature of cloud computing like multi-tenancy and virtualization, in addition to the details of the recent solutions presented in the literature to overcome the security issues in cloud storage.

For this purpose, a comparative study was conducted upon three machine learning predictive classification models applied to a dataset to predict customer churn. The three models namely; Decision Trees (DT), Naïve Bayes (NB) and Rule Induction performance was evaluated to specify the best performance by several measures such as accuracy, precision, recall, F-measure and Area Under Cover (AUC).

The experiments were simulated using OPNET 11.5 Modeler software. The first was aimed at finding the maximum number ...

This is achieved because it, using the Internet, provides different resources and shared services with minimum costs. Cloud service providers (CSPs) offer many different services to their customers, where the customers’ needs are met seeking the highest levels of quality at the lowest considerate prices. The relationship between CSPs and customers must be determined in a formal agreement, and to ensure how the QoS between them will be fulfilled, a clear Service Level Agreement (SLA) must be called for. Several previously-proposed models used in the literature to improve the QoS in the SLA for cloud computing and to face many of the challenges in the SLA are reviewed in this paper. We also addressed the challenges that are related to the violations of SLAs, and how overcoming them will enha...

The paper introduces new metrics such as: Page Penetration and Ranking Index, as well as new evaluation methods. The framework considers the twenty-two Arab countries in addition to seven Facebook pages that belong to seven prominent Arab satellite channels. The proposed framework is used to evaluate countries for their Internet and Facebook penetration rates, as well as consumption of news through those pages. Results reveal that Arabs highly credit natively Arabic news media rather than news media that only speak Arabic. Furthermore, 65% of the Arab countries have more than 50% Facebook users who are news consumers via Facebook. Additionally, Arab countries that suffered unrest, civil war or political crises in the recent years show higher page penetration rates, such as Yemen, Syria, Egypt and Libya.

It views computing as a utility similar to water and electricity. We aim in this paper to make an investigation of two highly efficacious Cloud platforms: Microsoft Azure (Azure) and Amazon Web Services (AWS) from users’ perspectives the point of view of users. We highlight and compare in depth the features of Azure and AWS from users’ perspectives. The features which we shall focus on include (1) Pricing, (2) Availability, (3) Confidentiality, (4) Secrecy, (5) Tier Account and (6) Service Level Agreement (SLA). The study shows that Azure is more appropriate when considering Pricing and Availability (Error Rate) while AWS is more appropriate when considering Tier account. Our user survey study and its statistical analysis agreed with the arguments made for each of the six comparisons factors.
