Optimal Order Assignment With Minimum Wage Consideration (Ooamwc), Hakem Alazmi Dec 2020

Optimal Order Assignment With Minimum Wage Consideration (Ooamwc), Hakem Alazmi

Master of Science in Computer Science Theses

While the application of crowdsourcing has increased over the years, the technology experiences various issues during implementation. Examples of some of the issues that affect crowdsourcing include task assignment, profit maximizations, as well as time window issues. In some instances addressing some of the issues results in the other issues being overlooked. An example is when assigning tasks to workers, the profits of the workers might not be considered and this ends up affecting the profit maximization aspect. Various algorithms have been proposed to address the task assignment, profit maximizations, and time window issues. However, these algorithms address the issues …

Prototype A is designed to make it easy to use and clear workflow. Whereas prototype B …


Usability And Accessibility Model For E-Government Websites In Ethiopia, Yoseph Zeleke Jul 2020

Usability And Accessibility Model For E-Government Websites In Ethiopia, Yoseph Zeleke

African Conference on Information Systems and Technology

The development of websites and portals are main components of the e-Government strategy implementations for the last nine years in Ethiopia. However, services optimizations with usability and accessibility are key issues of Ethiopia e-Government services development.

Therefore, the ultimate goal of this study is creation of usable, accessible and sustainable Ethiopian eGovernment websites with four stage of research analysis, through proposed model. The investigations results are used to provide a clear picture of what needs to be improves from management and user point of views and also from other stakeholders of e-Government services. This study applies mixed methods of data …


A Comprehensive Study For Modern Models: Linking Requirements With Software Architectures, Sisay Yemata Jul 2020

A Comprehensive Study For Modern Models: Linking Requirements With Software Architectures, Sisay Yemata

African Conference on Information Systems and Technology

Several models recently have been addressed in software engineering for requirements transformation. However, such transformation models have encountered many problems due to the nature of requirements. In the classical transformation modeling, some requirements are discovered to be missing or erroneous at later stages, in addition to major assumptions that may affect the quality of the software. This has created a crucial need for new approaches to requirements transformation. In this paper, a comprehensive study is presented in the main modern models of linking requirements to software architectures. An extensive evaluation is conducted to investigate the capabilities of such modern models …


Artificial Intelligence Towards Future Industrial Opportunities And Challenges, Gizealew Dagnaw Jul 2020

Artificial Intelligence Towards Future Industrial Opportunities And Challenges, Gizealew Dagnaw

African Conference on Information Systems and Technology

The industry 4.0 will bring reflective changes to our society, including an important digital shift in the manufacturing sector. At present, several manufacturing firms are trying to adopt the practices of industry 4.0 throughout their supply chain. The Fourth Industrial Revolution and the artificial intelligence at its core are fundamentally changing the way we live, work and interact as citizens. The complexity of this transformation may look overwhelming and to many threatening. Recently, the dramatic growth of new generation information technologies has prompted several countries to seek new strategies for industrial revolution. The globalization and the competitiveness are forcing companies …


Efficient Data Mining Algorithm Network Intrusion Detection System For Masked Feature Intrusions, Kassahun Admkie, Kassahun Admkie Tekle Jul 2020

Efficient Data Mining Algorithm Network Intrusion Detection System For Masked Feature Intrusions, Kassahun Admkie, Kassahun Admkie Tekle

African Conference on Information Systems and Technology

Most researches have been conducted to develop models, algorithms and systems to detect intrusions. However, they are not plausible as intruders began to attack systems by masking their features. While researches continued to various techniques to overcome these challenges, little attention was given to use data mining techniques, for development of intrusion detection. Recently there has been much interest in applying data mining to computer network intrusion detection, specifically as intruders began to cheat by masking some detection features to attack systems. This work is an attempt to propose a model that works based on semi-supervised collective classification algorithm. For …


Rethinking The Weakness Of Stream Ciphers And Its Application To Encrypted Malware Detection, William T. Stone, Junggab Son Jul 2020

Rethinking The Weakness Of Stream Ciphers And Its Application To Encrypted Malware Detection, William T. Stone, Junggab Son

Master of Science in Computer Science Theses

Encryption key use is a critical component to the security of a stream cipher: because many implementations simply consist of a key scheduling algorithm and logical exclusive or (XOR), an attacker can completely break the cipher by XORing two ciphertexts encrypted under the same key, revealing the original plaintexts and the key itself. The research presented in this paper reinterprets this phenomenon, using repeated-key cryptanalysis for stream cipher identification. It has been found that a stream cipher executed under a fixed key generates patterns in each character of the ciphertexts it produces and that these patterns can be used to …


Leveraging Smart Contracts For Asynchronous Group Key Agreement In Internet Of Things, Victor Youdom Kemmoe, Junggab Son Jul 2020

Leveraging Smart Contracts For Asynchronous Group Key Agreement In Internet Of Things, Victor Youdom Kemmoe, Junggab Son

Master of Science in Computer Science Theses

Group Key Agreement (GKA) mechanism plays a crucial role in the realization of various secure applications in various networks such as, but not limited to, sensor networks, Internet of Things (IoT), vehicular networks, social networks, and so on. To be suitable for IoT, GKA must satisfy several critical requirements. First, a GKA mechanism must be robust against a compromised device attack and satisfy essential secrecy definitions without the existence of a Trusted Third Party (TTP). TTP is often used by IoT devices in the establishment of ad hoc networks and usually, these devices are resource-constrained. Second, the GKA mechanism must …

Performance Of Malware Classification On Machine Learning Using Feature Selection, Nusrat Asrafi

Master of Science in Computer Science Theses

The exponential growth of malware has created a significant threat in our daily lives, which heavily rely on computers running all kinds of software. Malware writers create malicious software by creating new variants, new innovations, new infections and more obfuscated malware by using techniques such as packing and encrypting techniques. Malicious software classification and detection play an important role and a big challenge for cyber security research. Due to the increasing rate of false alarm, the accurate classification and detection of malware is a big necessity issue to be solved.

A Framework To Detect Presentation Attacks, Laeticia Etienne Apr 2020

A Framework To Detect Presentation Attacks, Laeticia Etienne

Master of Science in Information Technology Theses

Biometric-based authentication systems are becoming the preferred choice to replace password-based authentication systems. Among several variations of biometrics (e.g., face, eye, fingerprint), iris-based authentication is commonly used in every day applications. In iris-based authentication systems, iris images from legitimate users are captured and certain features are extracted to be used for matching during the authentication process. Literature works suggest that iris-based authentication systems can be subject to presentation attacks where an attacker obtains printed copy of the victim’s eye image and displays it in front of an authentication system to gain unauthorized access. Such attacks can be performed by displaying …
