  • Studying Emergent Computation Using New General Model of Cellular Automata
    International Journal of Engineering Sciences & Emerging Technologies, October 2013. ISSN: 22316604 Volume 6, Issue 2, pp: 133-141 ©IJESET CELLULAR AUTOMATA FOR ADAPTIVE WEB PORTAL STRUCTURE IN EGYPTIAN UNIVERSITIES Yasser F. Hassan Department of Mathematics & Computer Science, Faculty of Science, Alexandria University, Egypt ABSTRACT In the last few years, intelligent software applications are increased in complexity and in stakeholders' expectations, principally due to new internet-centric application areas with better performance. The modeled development process in this paper involves simulated processes of evolution, learning and self-organization. University portal provides a single point of access to university-based resources which are authorized to use. The research explores and adaptive portal website link-structure considering the website as interconnecting cells in cellular automata model browsed from the root domain. The potential of cellular automata model guides the factor adaptation and evaluated and emergent computation adequately extracts the main website profiles in terms of their internal structure. KEYWORDS- University Portal, Web Software, Cellular Automata, Adaptive, Egypt I. INTRODUCTION A university portal is a web-based gateway that provides seamless access to a variety of backend resources [1] [6]. University portal provides end-users with a customized view of software and hardware resources that specific to their particular domain. The main challenge for building university portal is to make up-to-date building information more accessible and reflect the increasing services [2]. Universities want to see a control portal that works with customers (students, staff, or visitors) to help them achieve a building portal that meets both their expectations and building standards designed for the public good.

Executive Summary A progress report is a report of work accomplished during a specific time period. We have planned to have biannual reports throughout the period of the three-year CCSAFS project. Recording the CCSAFS progress is an indicator of what has been accomplished and what lags behind. Such an information is very critical to the whole process of the project. As we have pointed in our methodology, particular attention is given to the SMART goals because it helps to establish specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-targeted goals. Monitoring the CCSAFS performance should be done daily/weekly/monthly, but it has to be recorded in a longer periods of time.

  • 1 Strengthening the Link Between Academic Research and Industry Needs
    1 | P a g e EDUCATION 1 Strengthening the link between academic research and industry needs Project owner: TU Graz Project management (SEKEM): Bianca Fliß Duration: 3 years Involved Entities: Consortium of 11 partners (incl. 5 MENA and 3 European universities) Outcomes: Strategy paper on how to establish a chair on innovation Staff trainings on innovation Master twinning projects Project Rationale: The EU higher education policy towards the MEDA countries is to strengthen the role of higher education institutions in society at large; to address the “knowledge triangle” of education, research and innovation at university level; and to encourage links between higher education institutions and the labour market, including the promotion of entrepreneurship and the creation or support of business start-ups. In 2007, The United Nations Industrial Development Organization UNIDO, agreed to provide technical support to UNCHIAN. In the framework of this initiative, the UNIDO financially and technically supported a workshop that has been organised in Vienna (2007). This workshop allowed representatives from the MEDA universities to discuss with the three EU universities the main R&D and innovation problems. This workshop concluded that the MEDA Universities have several problems should be addressed to qualify them to benefit from such initiatives. The MEDA universities have no mechanism to work with the industry, no technology transfer offices, no Technology Transfer Policy (TTP) and no skilled staff to translate the industry need to R&D subjects. The conclusion was to apply for a TEMPUS project to establish a “University Chairs on Innovation”. 2 | P a g e EDUCATION The overall objective of this project is bridging the gap between the innovation needs of industry and the supply of universities, in terms of human resources and technologies by establishing a “University Chair on Innovation”.
