Abstract: The aim of this study is to determine elements of academic infrastructure for quality and standards of higher education, the sampling procedure produced about 274 staff members drawn randomly from Jordanian universities. To test the hypothesis, ANOVA analysis was applied. The “Sheff Test” is applied for a priori comparison. Result of the test showed that the staff members in private universities feel more then the one in public that the programme specification can provide a stimulus to teaching teams to reflect on The staff member with Science specialization feels strongly that the code of practice providing the student feedback, normally to help improve his/her performance and evaluating student knowledge The male feel more then the female that programme specification can provide the necessary core programme documentation and used to communicate information about what the programmes offer to students.

Abstract: Abstract This paper reports the findings from a case study of a private sector, which provides a high quality service to customers’ factors affecting Interaction quality In this study, the sample of 65 companies has been drawn randomly from Amman, Zarka and Irbid in the electronic industry in Jordan. The companies were identified using the Jordanian Standard To test the hypothesis, the ANOVA analysis was applied. The “Sheff Test” is applied for a priori comparison. Result of the test showed that those who worked in Company Size (number of employees) 50 to Fewer than 100 feel more than who worked 100 and more, in variables 1,2, and 3 . Those who worked in Education feel more than who worked in Medical, in variable 4 and those who worked in Industry feel more than in Education in variables 8 and 15. Those who worked in Amman feel more than who worked in Zarka, in variables1, 2 and 3 and those who worked in Irbid feel more than in Zarka in variables 18,19 and 20. and those who worked in Irbid feel more than in Amman in variables 5 and 20.

Abstract: The problem about propagation and transformation of discontinuous wave fronts in transversally isotropic heterogeneous elastic media is considered. The techniques for construction of evolving system of rays and fronts are proposed. The cases of geometric singularities formation on the front surfaces are analyzed for different values of the elastic medium anisotropy and heterogeneity.

Research Title: A Moderated Hob Based Broadcasting Algorithm for MANETs

Author: Hasan Abdel-Razzaq Al Dabbas, Published Year: 0

Abstract: The presence of new mobile computing devices rise the tendency to use ad hoc networks in which each device connects to its neighbor without the need to connect to a fixed infrastructure network. Broadcasting is sending data packet from a source node to the rest of nodes in the networks; it is characterized by no acknowledgement packets and no request or clear to send dialogue packets. Broadcasting suffer from redundant rebroadcast, contention and collision, these drawbacks lead to increase the delay and the number of dropped packets caused by contention (i.e. degrade in the quality of service). Anew distance based broadcasting algorithm is proposed to enhance broadcasting in wireless mobile ad hoc networks, this algorithm is analyzed and tested using GloMoSim network simulator, the simulated results are used to compare with another two distance based broadcast algorithms.

Research Title: A Genetic Methodology for Object Evolution

Abstract: One of the major issues of object-oriented programming languages is lack of reclassification mechanisms. Reclassification allows an object to change its class at runtime. Object reclassification is desired in applications whose entities need to change dynamically at runtime. The previous approaches dealt with object reclassification in different ways. But none had approached the notion of real entities evolution, where objects can evolve while belonging to the same class. This had led to a large number of classes most of the times; making the design and the implementation of the intended system more complex. The desired evolution of objects should allow objects to evolve automatically at runtime, without changing their classes membership. In this work, we present a new approach for object evolution; inspired by some genetics concepts. Objects that belong to the same class can change their structure, functions and behaviors at run time automatically, while keeping their membership to the same class. A slight environmental influence on the proposed evolution process is introduced.

Research Title: Unified Matrix Processor Design for FCT-Based Filtering, Convolution and Correlation of Signals

Author: Qadri Jamal Al-Hamarsheh, Published Year: 2012

Faculty: Engineering and Technology

Abstract: A new unified matrix processor for the main DSP discrete procedures: convolution, correlation functions and filtering of signals based on discrete cosine transform (DCT-II), is proposed and described. It is shown that these procedures can be computed using the same building blocks which give the processor universal computational structure property. The computational complexity analysis of the proposed processor shows that the FCT-based matrix processor for N- point convolution and correlation computing allows a reduction by 2N - 3 real multiplications and N - 2 real additions in comparison with other processors of the same class. The architecture of the processor supports the classic schema for computing DSP procedures: (Two DCT spectrums + product of cosine spectrums + IDCT transform). The proposed architectures employ simple Processor Elements (PE) that require real multiplications and additions.

Abstract: The paper presents the design and evaluation of an Active Router (AR) architecture, which provides flexibility for the development of future network services. The hardware is based on a personal computer with 2GHz, Intel P4 processor. The designed AR depends on the use of Windows OS, enhancing the Active Network Encapsulation Protocol (ANEP) and the efficient use of C++ programming. Windows OS and C++ language are rarely used in such projects due to complexity of kernelmode and network-oriented programming requirements. Enhancing ANEP gains novel service composition scheme. Finally, the success of the AR architecture and prototype implementation is evaluated by means of a practical application.

Research Title: The State of Engineering Postgraduate Studies in Iraqi Universities

Abstract: Higher Education in Iraq goes back to the first half of the last century. On the other hand engineering postgraduates did not start seriously until around 1970. The environment in which the postgraduate studies had developed in was far from being ideal or anywhere near normal. There was the Iraq-Iran conflict 1980-1988, the 1991 Gulf conflict followed by the sanctions of 1990- 2003, then the occupation of the country in 2003 and the catastrophic aftermath that followed which included a massive brain drain of the Iraqi academia. All these negative factors contributed immensely to stun the actual development of the postgraduate studies in general, but had a particular negative impact on the engineering postgraduate studies. This chapter will address the background of the education system in Iraq and identifies the general challenges facing any revitalization of the postgraduate studies with special focus on engineering postgraduate studies. A road map for the revitalization of the postgraduate studies will be suggested.
