IT497 Graduation Project 2

Arabic Brain Communicator (ABC)

ABC is a brain-controlled typing system designed to facilitate communication for people with severe motor disabilities in Arabic.

Aljawharah Alabdullatif Hadeel AlNegheimish Lama AlAndas Latifah Almofeez Nuha AlKhalifah

Supervised By Dr. Areej AlWabil

Communication is an essential part of human interaction. Unfortunately, for people with severe motor disabilities, such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and spinal cord injury, the ability to communicate independently is restricted; as current Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) technologies require some form of muscle control. This project aims to facilitate communication in Arabic for people with severe motor disabilities by building a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) application using the Emotiv neuroheadset, to provide mind-controlled typing and picture based communication. The headset collects EEG signals from 14 channels on the surface of the scalp. Unlike medical EEG systems, the Emotiv neuroheadset is affordable and easy to use. The system will use the P300 component, an involuntary response to sensory stimuli, to detect the actions to be performed by the user. The

system offers three main interfaces: key and picture boards, which would be optimized for faster and more accurate typing. Configuration of those is incorporated for the use of caregivers. The originality of this project lies in the use of novel input method, brain activity, and the creation of a complete Arabic AAC system. Hence, providing a practical communication method for Arabic speaking individuals with motor disabilities by allowing them to type or convey a message by thinking, as it does not require the movement of any muscle. To the best of our knowledge, no Arabic BCI applications currently exist. Research conducted in this project provides valuable insights for the design of future BCI applications, and will help bridge the gap in Arabic AAC technologies.

Albateel
An Intelligent Tutoring System for Improving Linguistic Skills for Arabic Language Learners.

Albateel is an Intelligent Tutoring System that aims to improve students Arabic linguistic skills by taking each students individual needs into consideration to produce efficient learners in the classroom through the use of adaptive learning technologies, namely the Micro-adaptive approach. Differences between students learning levels present one of the most important challenges that face teachers in the classroom, this becomes especially difficult when a student has a learning difficulty (e.g. dyslexia). Our project intends to fill this gap by helping elementary students of the fourth, fifth and sixth level in learning Arabic linguistic skills in a simple and fun way, using stories, exercises and games. This tool is based on educational theories of cognition and learning which we gathered from a special education expert. The motivation behind it is to allow electronic education to incorporate the value of the interactivity afforded to a student by an actual

human teacher. We are still in the testing phase on Albateel, we hope to test it out in three different schools in Riyadh. After the testing phase, our experts will analyze the results, and provide us with feedback on any system problems, and we will then fix them accordingly in order to publish it in Apples App Store.

Hotel website creation, management and reservation system

Abeer Al-Shehri Afnan Al-Hano Alaa Al-Barrak Hind Al-Mahmoud Khazma Al-Shaharani Supervised By Dr. Rabia Jafri Ali

Numerous hotels abandon the prospect of creating and maintaining a website because of the cost involved in hiring a developer to create the site followed by significant expenditures associated with maintaining the web site and constantly updating it to keep pace with new technology. However, such hotels suffer a substantial loss in business since nowadays people prefer to search on the internet for hotels and rely on their websites to obtain detailed information about location, amenities, room availability and prices. Potential customers are also more comfortable in making, modifying and cancelling room reservations online rather than by directly calling the hotel management. Our product will help hotel managers and customers. Our product will enable a hotel to avoid the cost of hiring a developer yet not deprive it of the benefits of having its own website, we are developing a software package that allows the hotel management to create and maintain their own website. The use of this package requires nothing more than the most basic computer skills. The hotel can purchase a

domain name and then install the package on the domain server by following some simple installation instructions provided in a user manual which will accompany the package. The software will provide the following functionalities:

Posting and editing of general hotel information (location, nearby attractions, contact information, amenities, pictures, etc.). Posting and editing of room information, including uploading of pictures and listing of prices. Allowing viewers to check on room availability and prices. Allowing viewers to make reservations and emailing them confirmations. Allowing customers to modify or cancel reservations and emailing them confirmations. Emailing alerts to hotel management about new reservations or changes/cancellations of existing reservations. Allowing hotel management to make, modify and cancel reservations. Allowing viewers to subscribe to/unsubscribe from a hotel listserv. Allowing hotel staff to send emails about hotel events, special deals, etc., to subscribed users.

Supervised By Dr. Fatiha Bousbahi

Finding houses and departments that match people needs and preferences is one of the common problems. Many tenants and buyers usually spend many hours crossing around looking for homes which often doesn't match their needs. Based on that, we started this project with the goal to dedicate our knowledge in technology to help them in finding their preferred home since there are not much advanced applications that provide effective search service. Our project is to develop iphone application to facilitate homes searching to help them save time and effort by providing a list of available estates in Riyadh on an offline map ! Besides, estates information like: estate owner, price, photos, ...etc.

In Addition, the application will help them to keep track of new estates that match their needs by notifications. Moreover, the application will participate in search task by notifying them if they are near to estates that match their needs. In Addition, the application allows them to save and share estates. And for owners, the application allows them to manage their estates. To achieve this we are using PHP and Objective-C programming languages and other web technologies. We hope that this application make a change in real estates environment and best serves buyers and owners in easy, intelligent way.

ABG Test Analysis

An intelligent medical mobile application Ashwag Al-Gafer Asma Al-Dosari Faizah Bashamkha Rawan Al-Hathlool Shamma'a Al-Shehail Supervised By Ms. Nora Al-Mohanna

The idea of this project based on the establishment of an application for the interpretation of the arterial blood gases (ABG), which is a test that measures the acidity of blood (pH), oxygen partial pressure (PaO2), and carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO2) in the blood extracted from an arterial blood vessel. It is used to evaluate a patients respiratory system, metabolic functions, and blood acidity. The problem that comes with ABG test is how to interpret the test results, inexperienced doctors in critical care often find it very difficult to interpret the results because the interpretation process can be complicated and the decision that needs to be done regarding the patient is very critical. Moreover, based on the test results doctors at the ICU or the ER often need to perform some calculations in order to give the patient the proper amount of medication, performing such calculations manually can degrade efficiency.

To meet these needs we implemented an ABG application which is a mobile application running on iOS, specifically on an iPhone device for the complete analysis for the ABG test which can help the medical personnel not only to find the accurate interpretation, but also to perform related calculations which will increase accessibility and efficiency, where all they need to do is only to input the gas values taken from the machine measuring the blood gases and the result will appear in minimum time possible.

Real-time Fire Detection System

Elham Alsobky Manahel Altwaim Moneerah Almohsin Monira Alkaldi Munera Alqahtani Supervised By Dr. Sahar Bayoumi

Fires are known for their fast growth and its capability of causing many deaths and economic losses annually around the world. For these reasons, it was important to develop systems that are capable of alarming when fires start to keep it under control. However, most of the common fire detection systems depend on smoke sensors primarily, and as smoke sensors are restricted to the existence of a ceiling or a wall it is not capable of detecting fires in open large areas, like public gardens and parking areas. Therefore, according to the prior stated facts; this project was started with the aim of implementing a more efficient and trustworthy fire detecting system. The proposed system will be using computer vision through studying the fires colour, shape, and motion in the detection stage. In details, the system work will start by continuously acquiring images from a web camera. Then, the image

processing algorithm used in this system will subtract the motion area from the background from each adjacent frame image and then start searching for the fire properties (colour, shape, and motion) on the resulted area. After that, if the system detected a fire, the notification system will start by immediately sending SMS and Email messages to the previously registered contacts, who are supposed to be the place owners or the security staff of the area, to warn them to take an action before the growth of that detected fire. In conclusion, this system is expected to provide more safety and to reduce the losses caused by fires in public open places.

Masar
Pilgrims Health Care Tracking System Asma Al-Amri Al-Lulu Bin Rehan Ghada Al-Mutairi Wafa Al-Harbi Sarah Al-Imam Supervised By Dr.Hessah Al-Salamah

In 2012, the total number of pilgrims reached around 3 million. During the Hajj period, pilgrims tend to visit several holy places at certain times for a short period of time. This means, for those who require medical care during this period, treatment might be delivered to them by multiple healthcare providers at distributed healthcare organizations. Masar is a web-based application that helps improve the provision of pilgrims' medical care during Hajj. It automates the treatment flow, task assignment, and highlights any conflict. In terms of information provision, the system shows the medical history, treatment progress, medications, and involved users. In addition, the workflow system constructs an independent layer that connects the distributed infirmaries systems and databases so that the different health organizations, in the areas where the Hajj is being held, could keep up with the patients progress from one visit to another. In terms of implementation of this project, Skelta Business Process Manager (BPM) tool was used, which is based on Workflow technology. Skelta BPM provides a process designer

to model the treatment guidelines in which a generic treatment flow was modeled. This logic was then automatically maintained and represented in a web application. The interface throughout the treatment flow was designed and customized according to meet different users needs as they interact with the patient. These interact with a database created to store patients clinical information. The intended users of this system are the healthcare providers (i.e. Doctors and Nurses), Receptionists, and Administrators. With this interface, healthcare providers are able to easily register, store, and retrieve pilgrims' clinical information. Masar is currently under development and the results so far are very promising. This project aims to extend the functionalities of the Hajj system used by the MoH to better serve pilgrims during Hajj.

IT Practical Training System

Sara AlMashouq Noura AlSuhaibani Reem AlSohaibani Wafa AlJuraish Supervised By Ms.Mashael Al-Saleh

Practical training is important for IT students to practice what they have been studied, and improve their skills. Because of this, Information Technology Department in King Saud University plans to provide the practical training course as a part of its curriculum and have agreements with many organizations to train students. However, practical training was recently implemented at the department, and the process of the application done manually, which makes a lot of difficulties and obstacles for both students and staffs who work on organizing the process. In the second semester the department announces the names of the organizations that provide training to the students. The student can choose from these organizations or she can contact any other organization. After she writes her wish list, she should be involved in a long paper based process to apply in the training course and she has to contact training committee to finalize their registration. The committee member collects and evaluates a lot of papers and forms; also they should have an easy access to students data to follow up with them during the training time. However, in the ordinary websites the submission problem only can be solved.

The department decided to perform this process using an available online system, unfortunately all systems are dedicated to individual companies which they do not match IT department requirements. From these obstacles, the idea of this project came, to make the application process in the practical training easier. The aim of our project is to develop a Web-based practical training system to handle all the processes starting from students application to assigning each student to an organization by the staff member. The system serves four types of users: the head of practical training, the committee members, secretaries and students. We reached the aim through several objectives: - Make the registration online: The students can apply for the training online by uploading, editing all required information and documents, and submitting her wish list without any other papers or documents. - Make the communication easy: For the students easily to know about the important announcements and comments about organizations. For the committee members, saving time and effort by organizing events schedules and posting automatic announcements on the site, which linked with a twitter account. Also, making the communication between faculty members simpler by sending emails and arranging for meetings. - Make the management of practical training easier and efficient: Submitting all requests online and having an automatic process for accepting and rejecting requests. Moreover, the organizations information can be added and edited online. At the end of the training, having statistics about the training process.

RFID based Student's Attendance Monitoring System

Malak Al-Ateeq Atheer Al-Jeraisy Hessah Al-Shamran Muznah Al-Dosary Najat Al-Sheha Supervised By Dr. Lamia Ketari

Students attendance has been a university requirement for many decades because most of the learning process happens in class; listening to the lecture, doing reading assignments, etc. However, the availability of lessons online for most courses makes students less motivated to attend lectures, which badly affects their academic performance. Therefore, monitoring students attendance is crucial in supporting students retention and performance. In the Information Technology (IT) female department at King Saud University (KSU), the manual procedure to take students attendance is performed either by calling students by name and marking their presence on the attendance sheet, or by passing the students attendance sheet to sign it. Unfortunately, these methods are often time-consuming, error-prone (the former), and subject to cheating (the latter). Also, the loss of the attendance sheet may yield to inaccurate data, and nonregular students may have the chance to avoid punishments (e.g. being banned to attend the final exam). Furthermore, analyzing manually students attendance sheets by the instructor to determine cases of students who exceeded the allowed

percentage of absence and report them to the administration can be time-consuming and error-prone. Therefore, we propose to develop a web-based application, called RFID-SAMS (RFID based Students Attendance Monitoring System) that will automatically record and manage students attendance in the IT department at KSU. RFIDSAMS will use Radio Frequency Identification technology that uses radio frequency electromagnetic fields for the purposes of automatic identification and tracking. The technology is made of three main components: RFID tag, RFID reader, and antenna Each student will be assigned a RFID tag. Classrooms will be equipped with RFID readers. When the instructor wants to take the attendance, she activates the RFID reader and asks students to place their tags near the reader. The reader will automatically retrieve the data from the tags then send the data to a central database in a remote server, over the Internet, and then the students attendance status will be updated. The database will be connected to the website, which keeps record of the students attendance in all classes in addition to other functions.

Eye-Gaze Interactive Therapy of Attention Deficit Disorders

Anfal AlOmar Khawlah AlHadlaq Manal AlRubaiyan Najla AlZakari Ohood AlHamid

Supervised By Dr. Areej Al-Wabil

Individuals with ADHD can be easily distracted, have memory problems and difficulty maintaining their focus on one task. As far as the neurobiologists have reached, there is no cure for this disorder; however, it could be managed1. Treatment of this disorder often contains a combination of medicine and behavioral treatment. Psychological treatment is recommended to avoid the side effects of the medicines. Recent advances in interactive technologies have led to innovative approaches in the design of serious games that focus on behavioral therapy of people with ADHD. This project aims to support behavioral therapy with novel interactive gaze-based serious games that provide specialists with eye gaze measures such as intensity of gaze and patterns of visual attention. These metrics benefit the therapy process by providing insights into the progress of the child and quantitative measures of visual attention. The Attentive Eye game suite was designed in iterative cycles of design and evaluation that determined the final set of games for

inclusion in the software to improve focus, filter out distractions, sustain attention, develop memory skills, and finish tasks. It was done in collaboration with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and involved experimental reviews of the feasibility of using gaze as an interaction approach. Tobii X120 was used to capture the eye gaze of the users. It incorporates illumination, sensors and 3D modeling of the eyes to track eye movements and process gaze using the pupil center corneal reflection technology. The captured raw gaze data was processed and filtered to be used as game control. Figure 1 briefly demonstrates the system. The 'Attentive Eye' game suite is a novel contribution to the assistive technology research domain. For rehabilitation practitioners, it is amongst the few systems that use eye gaze to control games intended for the therapy of individuals with ADHD. Moreover, the mode of interaction with visual attention enriches the games' potential to provide an engaging behavioral therapy program for the users and quantitative measures of progress and accurate tracking for health care providers and practitioners.

The increasing trend towards globalization is motivating more and more people to travel and inspiring them to visit multiple places in each trip. Consequently, organizing ones journey has become a considerably complex and timeconsuming process requiring one to choose among several transportation options, places to visit and hotels to stay in. Furthermore, one has to factor in meal breaks and calculate routes with the least travel durations in order to make the most efficient use of the limited time available. The system is a mashup of the following APIs: Google Maps, Google Places, Expedia and Wikipedia. SOAP web services and javascript have been utilized to retrieve data from the Expedia API and the other APIs respectively. Route calculation is based on Dijkstra's algorithm. Unlike other similar applications which essentially work as calendaring programs, our system is unique in that it integrates the information and functions needed for travel planning within a single application and provides additional functionality by taking into account the users preferences, blocked times and conflict resolution. Moreover, the

route calculating function is singular in its ability to provide users with not just the shortest route but customized suggestions based on their time specifications. Also, this system is not limited to a specific geographical domain but includes all cities around the world supported by Google Maps and other services included in the mashup. We plan to extend our system by providing an Arabic language interface and the capability to reserve hotel rooms, and intend to develop this into a mobile application.

Sugar Counter Application

Fatmah Al-Rumaih Haifa Al-Zelai Ohood Al-Abdani Sara Al-Kahtani Tarfah Al-Shathri Supervised By Dr.Auhood Al-Faries

According to International Diabetes Federation, up to 366 million people have diabetes. Saudi Arabia, United Arab of Emirate and Kuwait are among the top ten of highest prevalence and without effective prevention and control programs, diabetes is likely to continue to increase globally.[1] There are two types of diabetes; type one and type two. Type one develops when the body is unable to produce any insulin. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body is able to produce insulin, but not enough for it to function properly, or when the cells in the body do not react to insulin. Standard care of diabetic patient consists of regular visits with their diabetes care physician, adherence to a special diet, and medication. For many diabetics, managing their diabetes is not only a confusing process, but also time consuming and overwhelming. Diabetic patients need to inject insulin few times a day by using insulin pumps or insulin pens, they have to calculate the amount of injected insulin according to their food intake and moreover doses should be adjusted according to pre-meal sugar. Motivated by the diabetes epidemics in Saudi Arabia and the abovementioned problems, the idea of Sugar Counter Application (SCA) was raised. The purpose of SCA is to develop an efficient mobile

application for Arabic language speakers that assist patients (Type1) to manage their diabetes to adhere to a balanced and healthy lifestyle following the American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines. The application provides different services suitable for all age groups. These services include carbohydrates calculation of variety of food based on , to help diabetics in calculating their insulin doses before meals and how to adjust their insulin doses in certain circumstances such as exercises. Additionally, the application provides educational steps to follow when sugar runs high or low. In conclusion, this research presents a mobile application designed and built based on diabetic patients daily requirements to manage their carbohydrate and insulin doses, as well as maintain a balanced daily routine. In addition, it generates accurate reports that can be monitored by the care team. The system will help the diabetics to live a more independent life thus increases their self-confidence. It will also increase the safety of diabetics by providing the emergency service. Dieticians and real patients will carry out usability testing to evaluate the application in the testing phase.

Trie AMD
A Trie-based Apriori Motif Discovery Approach AljawharahAl-Hassan AshwagAl-Fawaz EbtisamAl-Ghamdi Rand Al-Brahim RawabiAl-Sharif Supervised By Dr. Ghadah Badr

Motif discovery is the problem of finding recurring patterns in biological sequences. Finding such patterns, also called motifs, gives an indication of important functional roles for our body which is also our DNA sequence. This is one of the most interesting and longstanding problems in Bioinformatics. TrieAMDT is a web-based application with a user-friendly interface; the user can upload input sequences in different formats. He can write sequences directly in a text box, upload his own file, or gain access to GenBank files through a system repository database that will be updated by the system administrator periodically. The system supports different input formats (e.g., FASTA). Discovered motifs are represented in a graphical format for an easier visualization for the results. The tool gives the user the flexibility to store and print the discovered motifs along with some statistical results, or even send the results as a report by e-mail so that he doesn't have to wait for the results.

The tool allows the user to adjust system parameters (e.g., minimum support, error rate, and maximum widow size for the discovered motifs). Finally, the system administrator can update the database repository and user information and can keep track of log files..

The tool should help biologists and scientists to use the developed TrieAMD approach in order to discover sequential motifs in biological data. According to the published results, the new approach has a better accuracy performance than other approaches for discovering sequential motifs in real data sets.

Smart Speaker
An Arabic Augmentative and Alternative Communication System for Adults with Speech Impairments and Normal Cognitive Abilities Al-Hanouf Al-Dayel Amna Al-Shaiban Ltefah Al-Masad Sarah Al-Romaih Supervised By Dr. Lilac AlSafadi

The Smart Speaker is an Arabic intelligent speech-synthesized handheld Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) application for Apples iPad and iOS platform. It helps Arabic native speakers who have speech impairment with normal cognitive abilities in their functional speaking needs by converting their Arabic typed texts to voice. The main objective of Smart Speaker is to model a human performance in speech learning and generation, and increase the speed of keystroke to emulate the speed of oral speech by using various techniques. Furthermore, Smart speaker avoids the requirement for a special AAC device and allows direct downloading from App stores with low cost. Smart Speaker is classified as an intelligent application since it predicts typed words and sentences based on the users previous behavior, adapts its prediction to the users different locations, and auto complete user words and phrases automatically. Smart Speaker introduces other techniques as well to increase the speed of keystroke in order to emulate the speed of oral speech. These techniques are: a short-cut option, listing recently used messages and categorizing phrases. The results indicate that the role of intelligence components in AAC should not be underestimated.

Due to the dire need for the technology that support speech pathologists in the Arabic world, and in Saudi Arabia in particular, our application gives the pathologists a faster way to communicate with their patients, which in order will facilitate the treatment process. In addition the application adaptability, simplicity and cost-low make it an effective tool to be extended behind the clinic to anywhere else. The intelligent features include: (1) The ability to store the users previous behavior, represented by the common words/phrases used, and their use in user locations. The stored user behavior is used to predict the users speech patterns. (2) The ability to adapt itself to the users changing environment, based on the factors that influence message (location) and recommend phrase-auto-completion accordingly. Lastly, for the customization features, users have the ability to customize the generated speech by controlling its speed and select its type (male/ female). As well as, providing a shortcuts property for phrases and user preference. Also, users can customize the application graphical user interface by changing the background color or the text font size. In addition, users can customize the favorite words/phrases, which displayed in the home page for quick access. Users also can manage their messages by forming and storing their conversations for future retrieval. And for the privacy, users have the choice to set password on the application to prevent others who share the same iPad from accessing user's data.

Effects of Recording Factors in EEG Based Authentication Systems

Research By

Biometric authentication is an evolving field in computer science that has been introduced a few decades ago, where new technologies and techniques overcome the withdrawals of their predecessors. Recently researchers discovered a new unique biometric feature called electroencephalography (EEG), which is the brain electric activity along the scalp [1]. Various studies such as Hema C.R , Paulraj M.P and Harkirenjit Kaur s study *2+ and HU Jian-feng s study *3+had evaluated this new technique and its eligibility for authentication using various feature extracting methods. These studies showed a great potential of using EEG as standard authentication methodology. However, the permanence of such biometric is still debatable, whether EEG signals are affected by an individuals emotions, his\her mental health, or the surrounding environment. In our study we investigate whether emotional change (scare or disgust) would affect the value and strength of EEG signal, and thus alter the accuracy level of such method. In this experiment we recruited 15 participants and conducted two sessions for each, in which the first session was to record the baseline of EEG using Emotive EEG headset [4] under normal conditions, where each participant was asked to imagine pushing a cube. In the second session the participant watched a 2-minute scene of a horror movie, and then the actions performed in session one were repeated.

Plagiarism and IT students in King Saud University

Research By Mone AL-Shaman Supervised By Ms. Najwa AL-Ghamdi

One of the serious cases and ethical issues in the academic field is doing plagiarism. Plagiarism happens when an impersonator represents others work as his/her own work without citing the source[1] .From other perspective, plagiarism can be defined as submitting other work (part of or all) without any acknowledgement to the works authorship*3+. In academic filed, many reasons lead students to commit plagiarism, for instance, the lack of students awareness about universitys plagiarism rules and regulations [2]. There are a lot of ways within an academic context to do plagiarism such as using the web contents in copying and pasting, or from books, journals, other student work, and course textbook [4].So, in this paper we want to promote the awareness of plagiarism law adopted at King Saud University in department of IT. This work addresses reasons that motivate students to commit plagiarism, and provides suggestions to solve this academic problem that can help KSUs students and faculties in many cases. To accomplish that, we distributed two surveys: one for students and other for teachers. Students survey focuses on course assessment tools that are subject to plagiarism likes (number of sheets and projects that has been plagiarize) and reasons behind doing that with suggestions provided to avoid plagiarism in each material. The plagiarism types that covered are: make copy from other

student either from the same section or other section, recruit a teacher from outside the university to solve your homework, and copying from a web site without making a reference. Teachers survey contains their actions when they discover students plagiarism and their suggestions to avoid plagiarism. We still in the processes of collecting data, and the results will be demonstrated in the poster.

The impact of the colors used in educational multimedia for children

Research By Arwa AlQahtani Hala AlBalawi Nora AlHarran Umniah Bahadi Supervised By Ms. Najwa AL-Ghamdi

It is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the effect of colors have been used in the educational multimedia. Many studies have shown that the effects of color on mood, health and way of thinking, that preference for a certain color to another lies in the mechanism of its effect on human emotions and feelings. These studies have revealed that the human eyes absorbs light and transforms it into another form of energy being able to see the color, and this energy affects even blind people and their feelings. The colors is a knowledge by itself and the psychologists researchers have shown the effects of colors and they conducted a several studies which have proved their effectiveness and their impact on the human mind especially children. The child can see the color since the day he was born, with the progress of its growth, his eyes will be used to receive huge amounts of information about the world around him. Due to the correlation of colors in a child's life and their effects on the child's mind and feelings, as reported in the previous studies by psychologists researches, the colors may have a positive impact on child absorb information and may be

negative effects, so it was important to study the effects of color in educational multimedia for children in the age ranges between 5-6. To discuss this effect we conducted a pilot experiment for 10 children from 5 to 6 years old, to measure the reception of information under the effect of different groups of colors. This experiment consists of three tests, in each test we will show education multimedia designed from this group of colors: warm colors, cool colors and neutral colors "black and white". We will show in education multimedia different groups of different numbers appear on the screen for one minute then close the screen. After that we will ask the children about that numbers, to measure the percentage of remember the numbers that shown. In each test we change the order of color screen to get the good pilot experiment.

It is becoming increasingly difficult ignore the e-commerce. In an era in which almost most of the means of contact through the Internet. E-commerce has begun in the early seventies of the last century in the form of electronic funds transfers among some businesses and some giant companies. Among gulf countries, Saudi Arabia is considered the country with the strongest retail sector due to many reasons. However, face-to-face purchasing is still the method preferred at Saudis despite the advance in e-commerce technology and security. To highlight on this problem and finding reasons, we did a questionnaire measures the extent of confidence of Saudi consumer in the e-commerce. Then, we used the T-test to analyze the result.

The final results of the questionnaire are the age consumers is arrange between 20-30 years ,the education level of is university , most them have middle skills of using computer and who buying from online site more than who said not. assurance and high confidence was the most Standard that consumers depend on for browsing, electronic device was the most thing that purchased from electronic shopping ,lack of sufficient expertise was the reason that prevent the most from purchased from online shopping . So, we need to increase consumer confidence by providing guarantees in case of risk and consumer awareness for reliable sites. Therefore, the main goal of this paper is to figure out the barriers to e-commerce especially to measure the level of trust of Saudi consumers in e-commerce technology.

The effect of the applications on studying and memorizing the Holy Quran for children
Research By Noura AlAtni Atheer Aljeraisy Nouf Alsaadoun Malak Alateeq Supervised By Ms. Najwa AL-Ghamdi

Recitation and memorization of the Holy Quran is very important in each Muslim's life. Children need to prepare themselves to recite the Quran in a correct way for the five times prayer every day. Unfortunately, many children feel bored when they recite and memorize the Quran in the traditional way of the manual method. For that reason the technology came up with many applications that support the way of learning and memorizing the Holy Quran to motivate the children to be creative in the recitation. Based on this, a comparison test applied on two groups of children aged between 3 to 7 years old. The first group has been taught using the traditional way and the other group taught by explaining the story of the Surah using the pictures then studying the verses and memorizing them. After applying this experiment, it was found that the amount of memorizing has increased where the children have memorized 6 Verses instead of 3. Also, they understood the meaning of

each Verse by linking it with the story. In addition, the number of mistakes in the memorization has been reduced. Using technology and the new techniques in teaching the Quran provide an exciting environment for the children especially that enable them to recite and memorize the Quran depending on their selves. Moreover, the children will understand the verses in an attractive way by linking the story of the Surah with pictures that reflect the meaning.

Sarah Bin Mahfodh Eman AlSafi Faizah Bashamkhah Shaden AlOmran Abrar AlOthman Khazma AlShhrani Supervised By Ms. Nourah Al-Resayes

Dunkin Donuts central warehouse supports all stores in Riyadh, which makes several tasks such as receiving and keeping track of items from the warehouses to branches harder. Right now, Warehouses controllers record manually all stored items. Store managers have to be notified when ordered items from the warehouse are ready by keeping phones close. These traditional techniques affect the efficiency of the work by causing computing errors and delay in submitting and delivering orders to and from the warehouses and stores. For these reasons, we concluded that Dunkin Donut needs more efficient system in handling these processes. The goal of this project is to produce a web-based system that facilitate the communication between a Dunkin Donuts store managers and the warehouse controller. Implement a database to keep records of all items needed to make it easy to the warehouse controller to follow up incoming and out coming items. Help to decrease suffering from wasting time on counting and observing items coming in and out from the warehouse.

As for the administrator, the project provides many services for the administrator. The administrator has her own control panel where she can post announcement, add training locations and update Student list using a search engine. In addition, the administrator can upload xml file that contains names of new student to add it directly to the systems database without the need to insert row by row. The outcome of this project was that we were able to implement all required functions successfully and in a sophisticated way. In conclusion, this website should be an asset to students and faculty members responsible for summer training by organizing the procedure of applying and registering. Also, maintaining information about the students who applied for the program for future use (e.g. seeing what locations that students prefer, if the IT department needs to increase/ decrease the number of chairs etc.). Even though all main functions work properly we as a group are still working on it to make it better.

One of the new courses in the IT department is summer training. Summer training is a course that helps the students to apply their knowledge and skills which they learned in a real-life and in team working. However, this course has some difficulties and conditions; for instance, in this course the student must follow steps to take the admission of the department. There are terms before and after registering, forms which submitted manually, contestants qualifications must be compared to choose the best and so on. All these terms require a lot of files, student's congestions too. As a result, we asked ourselves why not we build a webbased system that will help managing the summer training processes between the IT department and the student. Therefore, this system is expected to make Student registration easier by automated checking if the summer training course preconditions are met or not. Also, it will create

an account for each student has been registered and allow her to view her profile and update it .In addition, this system will allow the students to view all announcements that have been posted by the administrator. As well the system will let the students to apply for training location provided by IT department. Also, Train to Gain System will be able to give the administrator some privileges like updating the students list, enter the list of training locations and post announcements for the registered students. In conclusion, all these services will be provided in convenient ways to make all the summer training consequences faster and easier.

Our aim from this project is to simplify the process of applying for summer training in King Saud University. All applying steps and applications processing and management are done through website. A web-based system will reduce time and effort spent when doing these processes manually. The system provides services to students as well as to the IT-department. Students will first need to register in the system. If a student has finished the summer training course pre-requisites she will receive an activation email. Students log in to their home page; Announcements, Update profile, and Apply for summer training are the options provided. In case student has already applied and got accepted at an organization it will be displayed clearly in her home page, thus student can find out more information about it. The system allows students to get to choose their dedicated organization and apply; acceptance or rejection is done through the system, which would save most of time wasted in previous traditional methods.

An administrator who will represent the IT-department can perform several tasks to manage the system and students applications. Student information and organizations can be added, edited or deleted. To facilitate these operations a search engine is provided with flexible search options. Since students applications approval or rejection are done through the system without the department interference, its a possibility that a student may upload invalid document (i.e. English certificate). To overcome this problem our project provides the administrator with extra service, admin can reject student request and allowing her to apply again; thats by choosing from a set of predefined problems or specifying other reason, student is informed through her email. In conclusion, the project provides a big approach in the university both students and the department staff will benefit from it. It gathers all application services at one place!

Due to the difficulty of learning Mathematics for some children, our project "Sammar and Abood world" aims to design and develop Arabic educational desktop application for children between 5 to 10 years old to improve their skills in Mathematics. The application makes the learning process more fun and exciting by adding visual effects such as sounds, avatars and colorful backgrounds. Also, it is provide short and simple statements that motivate the children to continue learning depending on their selves. Furthermore, the application is considering User experience and applying HCI rules to enhance the interactive learning. The application can be used at home or in the classrooms under the supervision of an adult. Sammar and Abood world contains 3 levels which are counting, addition, subtraction and fraction. These levels are look like a variety of stores in the market (Pets shop, Toys shop and pizza restaurant). On each level, the child can learn and play game. The game evaluates children's skills in that level. At the end of the game, the application determines the final grade for the child.

At the first version of the application, we implemented the counting level including learning and exercise sections. Moreover, we implemented the quiz sections only at the addition/subtraction and fraction levels. We used C# in the Visual Studio environment to implement and develop the application. Also, Adobe Photoshop used to design the backgrounds and characters.

iNanny
Children tracking solution/ special device design Abrar Al.Smayer MaramAl.Ghamdi MaramAl.Mosa Abrar Al.Sehli Rawan Alhalwan Supervised By Ms. Nouf Al-Mubark

Nowadays, parents are getting more worried about their children, so they prefer to keep them close making their free space narrower and their choices less. Therefore, in ordered to give the children more space and keep their parents calmed, we produce our application iNanny that provides children tracking for the parents and family contact for the children. Moreover, because many parents would not buy smart phones for their children we came up with a device specially design for the children to use our application in. A parent needs to be sure that his child is safe all the time, therefore iNanny will help children to overcome any possible emergency. Goals: Provide the parent a service to track his childs place anytime anywhere. Enable the child to be in contact with their parents either by text or video/audio call. Help the child to overcome an emergency situation. Family members can keep in touch despite their geographical location by using group messaging.

We are in the design phase so we have implanted a prototype for the following: A device to install iNanny childs interface in, taking under consideration that kids will use it so it should fit their daily activities. The child can check-in his location, contact his parent via text or call, find (police station, hospitaletc) nearby and most importantly press the panic alert button where the application will automatically call his parent. Parents interface of iNanny on an iPhone application that provide all the functionality a worried parent may need to check upon his child such as checking childs place, contacting him via text or call. She can even create a group chatting with her children if she has more than one in her account. She also can add a relative residence place to appear to the child when needed. In conclusion, we expect that this project will allow the children to have new experiences and be more independent whilst their parents will be happier for their children to see the world and feeling calm about them simultaneously. We do love our children and get worried about them, but we also want them to live their lives and experiences, so let iNanny be their nanny.

The actions that person do to seek his own interest may never cause satisfied results to others; it could sometimes harm them. However, those good deeds you do to bring happiness to other rational beings will typically affect them positively. In our projects we will shed the light upon tiny manners that share the value of caring of others and thus making them pleased. It will be observed throughout our project that the action's impact could never be measured relying on how big action is, those small behaviors that we perform spontaneously to delight others can cause positive changes. Its impact will also go beyond the others to the one who made them happy, so he will be pleased as a result of pleasing others. We will produce our concept as a movie called " " or Endless Happiness.

Tweekos

Life is full of exiting experiences such as reading a new book, learning Chess, and watching a marathon of documentary films. One main problem of not accomplishing the finish of these activities is not to set a clear deadline and even if a deadline is determined, logging them and following up the progress might be a little bit messy. Also, there is no rewarding mechanism in which you will feel happy and excited when you finish your task. Tweekos is a mobile application running on Android smart phones. It is a social network where people share their to-finish tasks. Tweekos comes from Two Weeks, which are the given amount of time to a person to conduct an activity. Tweekos reward you when you finish your task by gaining a Tweeko, which is a form of point collection and people will be rated based on it. Tweekos is productivity and entertainment tool by which it manages the time, encourages achieving tasks through rewarding, and helps finding people with the same interests and competing with them.
