Abstract: Geographical indications are an important tool to identify the geographical origin of goods. It is the link between the product and geographic region, given that the special characteristics and features of goods and products genuinely return to that special area which are uncommon other areas. Many work has been conducted at the national and international level to protect geographical indications because of its great importance especially for countries rich in natural, industrial, agricultural wealth and traditional industries .The Jordanian legislator has published the Geographical Indications Act N. 8 of 2000. This paper covers the definitions of geographical indications, in addition to the international and national efforts for its legal protection, and the scope of that protection and the exceptions of its application. The paper also evaluates this legal protection under the Jordanian law, compared with the international conventions and some laws of some Arab countries. At the end of this paper the researcher identifies some results and recommendations on the protection of geographical indications law.

Research Title: ‎A Genetic Framework model for Self-Adaptive software

Author: Said Ahmad Ammar Ghoul, Published Year: 2017

Faculty: Information Technology

Abstract: ‎ Background: Self-adaptive software changes its behavior at runtime without affecting the ‎running system. It has recently been a rich research area. Lots of organizations have adopted it in ‎their environments to accommodate with changing requirements. Lots of bio-inspired research ‎works, which are better than the conventional ones, have been conducted in the area of self-‎adaptive software. All of them have focused on the external behavior of biological entities (like ‎birds, ants, immunity, etc.) without going in depth into their genetic material that causes this ‎behavior and constitutes the challenge the work presented in this paper dealt with. Materials and ‎Methods: This paper proposes a solution to the above current challenge by developing a ‎framework model for self-adaptive software; inspired by the adaptation (evolution) of biological ‎entities and taking into consideration the role of genetic material in the adaptation process. Its scope ‎is limited to changes that take place at runtime but that are known at design. Results: The obtained ‎framework model was evaluated through its reuse in software objects evolution. The practical and ‎theoretical obtained results were valuable in the object-oriented paradigm. The proposed framework ‎completes the others bio-inspired research current works by providing a natural implementing way. ‎The integration of the current bio-inspired approaches (which deal with natural entities behaviors ‎external modeling) with the proposed framework (which deals with genetics-inspired internal ‎modeling of these behaviors) will lead to homogenous and coherent bio-inspired approaches to ‎self-adaptive software. Conclusion: The proposed framework is limited to self-adaptations ‎predicted at the requirements and design steps in self-adaptive software engineering, which is ‎significant in practice. However, the unpredicted adaptation (to unpredicted errors, environment ‎requirements, etc.) will be a genetics-inspired approach real challenge. Separate evaluation of the ‎proposed framework performance is not determinant. However, the performance evaluation of the ‎actual bio-inspired hybrid approaches against the proposed integrated ones (which is impossible to ‎achieve actually) will be valuable. It might be expected that the integrated ones will be better (in the ‎whole self-adaptive software engineering processes) than the hybrid current ones. The homogeneity ‎of approaches has its important impact. ‎

Abstract: In the past years, software reverse engineering dealt with source code understanding. Nowadays, it is levered ‎to software requirements abstract level, supported by feature model notations, language independent, and ‎simpler than the source code reading. The recent relevant approaches face the following insufficiencies: lack ‎of a complete integrated methodology, adapted feature model, feature patterns recognition, and Graph based ‎slicing. This work aims to provide some solutions to the above challenges through an integrated ‎methodology.‎ The following results are unique. Elementary and configuration features are specified in a uniform way by ‎introducing semantics specific attributes. The reverse engineering supports feature pattern recognition and ‎requirements feature model graph-based slicing. The slicing criteria are rich enough to allow answering ‎questions of software requirements maintainers. A comparison of this proposed methodology, based on ‎effective criteria, with the similar works, seems to be valuable and competitive: the enrichment of the ‎feature model and feature pattern recognition were never approached and the proposed slicing technique is ‎more general, effective, and practical. ‎

Abstract: Background. Feature Model (FM) is the most important technique used to manage the variability through products in Software Product Lines (SPLs). Often, the SPLs requirements variability is by using variable use case model which is a real challenge in actual approaches: large gap between their concepts and those of real world leading to bad quality, poor supporting FM, and the variability does not cover all requirements modeling levels. Aims. This paper proposes a bio-inspired use case variability modeling methodology dealing with the above shortages. Method. The methodology is carried out through variable business domain use case meta modeling, variable applications family use case metamodeling, and variable specific application use case generating. Results. This methodology has leaded to integrated solutions to the above challenges: it decreases the gap between computing concepts and real world ones. It supports use case variability modeling by introducing versions and revisions features and related relations. The variability is supported at three meta levels covering business domain, applications family, and specific application requirements. Conclusion. A comparative evaluation with the closest recent works, upon some meaningful criteria in the domain, shows the conceptual and practical great value of the proposed methodology and leads to promising research perspectives.

Abstract: Nowadays, the use of feature modeling technique, in software requirements specification, increased the variation support in Data Intensive Software Product Lines (DISPLs) requirements modeling. It is considered the easiest and the most efficient way to express commonalities and variability among different products requirements. Several recent works, in DISPLs requirements, handled data variability by different models which are far from real world concepts. This,leaded to difficulties in analyzing, designing, implementing, and maintaining this variability. However, this work proposes a software requirements specification methodology based on concepts more close to the nature and which are inspired from genetics. This bio-inspiration has carried out important results in DISPLs requirements variability specification with feature modeling, which were not approached by the conventional approaches.The feature model was enriched with features and relations, facilitating the requirements variation management, not yet considered in the current relevant works.The use of genetics-based methodology seems to be promising in data intensive software requirements variability specification.
