Preface

The Public University “Kadri Zeka” (UKZ) in Gjilan, Kosovo, continues its former university tradition in Gjilan - Teacher training began in the second half of the 1950s (1958), at the level of higher schools. It was initially established as a Pedagogical Academy on 18 September 1973, while the work started on 25 December 1975.

The New University of Gjilan was established with the decision of the Government of Kosova on 6 March 2013, and adopted by the Assembly of Kosovo on May 30, 2013, with the idea of promoting and developing university higher education, research scientific, artistic creativity, qualification of staff to the doctoral degree. The establishment of the UKZ enabled the inclusion of the largest number of students in the Gjilan region, the Presheva Valley and other areas of Kosovo and outside of Kosovo

At the 2nd meeting of the Senate of the "Kadri Zeka" University, held on 26.12.2013, the new Faculty of Computer Science (FCS) was approved and accredited in the framework of UKZ and after regular evaluation of the experts from Kosovo Agency for Accreditation. Unlike the other faculties of the "Kadri Zeka" University, which were continuation of the branches of the respective faculties of the University of Prishtina, the FCS started its work for the first time on October 1st, 2014, registering 122 new students. In the public contest for student enrollment for the coming years, a large number of candidates were presented, so math's and informatics tests were selected for the selection of the best.

The curriculum at the FCS is carried out for three years (6 semesters) of regular studies. The FCS provides basic and advanced knowledge on technological and software challenges in the field of computer science as

well as tire application in the IT industry and software development for Web Design and Economics.

Knowing that engineers in modern times need to be able to solve ever more complex problems and issues for designing and implementing package software, designing and implementing computer solutions, or to improve and maintain technology information that will be provided in this Bachelor program will cover techniques that will increase productivity in the development of software and information technology.

Within the Faculty of Computer Sciences, from the academic 2017/2018 was accredited the Master e-Governance program where 60 regular students were enrolled. For the next year is planned accreditation of new master and bachelor study programs from the IT field.

Introduction

The digitalization could be explained such as the evolution of the humanity, a development of the human intelligence, if it is used properly. At company’s level, the target of this digitalization is to develop effective management and operational processes to make easier and maximize company’s efficiency.

If we want to know the impact of this phenomenon on companies and markets you just have to think about one question:

- What company could survive in its respective market without have a webpage or appear on the Internet?

Nowadays it’s impossible to imagine a big company or a SME without a minimum reference on the Internet, because that information makes customers trust in enterprises and their services or on the other hand doubt about them depending on the appearance of their webs or regarding opinions of other costumers.

But the profits of digitalization provide more advantages than disadvantages to companies. With the progressive arrival of this phenomenon all the markets have been globalized and enterprises have yield benefits from it, using for example the Internet as a canal to sell their products and gain share of the market.

When we are thinking about digitalization and taking into account its progress, an unavoidable question appears on our minds:

- Will we be replaced in our jobs for computers in the near future?

In this digital era, we can’t be sure at all. All the enterprises require a good use of technologies as something essential and basic to fulfill their profile of employee. It’s all about taking any opportunities to learn about technological process and programs that could be useful for working in different kind of enterprises.

The main target of this Conference is to motivate and make the students aware about the importance of technologies in business, showing them a huge variety of options to use digital technology and the profits that could be achieved through it.

The characteristics of the event and the quality of the projects which will be presented in the DiGiDay Conference will offer a perfect opportunity of gaining meaningful insights of present and future trends in digital marketing and sales for businesses.

At the end of the DiGiDay Conference we will leave with a pretty good idea of how important the technology is nowadays for business.

That digital marketing is very important for a company at all levels:

- Awareness,

- Website,

- Brand advertising,

- Personalization, etc.

Also, to engage the consumers, it is a great idea to involve them in activities related to the company for example sending them surveys so they can get involved in the improvement of the company.

And for the last one it is kind of obvious, the bookings being made online or through an app. It’s innovative!

The brave new world of Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is addressed from a scientific, technological, and philosophical point of view. Some fundamental explanations are provided and philosophical questions are raised which emerge from the outrageous potential AI seems to hold. Based on definitions of AI recent leaps forward in development, current success stories as well as myths and facts are presented.

Basic features of machine learning and artificial neural networks, which essentially contribute to the exponential growth of AI, are explained and examples including current realizations are given. The hypothesis, that exponentially growing progress in AI achievements gives rise to the so-called “singularity” will result in unfathomable changes to human civilization is discussed.

Notions and believes of relevant stakeholders from leading global players and renown AI-protagonists are contraposed.

Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Singularity, Exponential Growth.

Challenges of e-Services in Kosovo using national biometric eID card in compliance with eIDAS regulation.

Abstract

Today, we are witnessing increased demand for more speed and capacity in the Internet, and more processing power and storage in every end user device. Demand for greater performance is present in every system. Electronic devices and their hosted applications need to be fast, but not to lose their main security features. Authentication and encryption are the main processes in the security aspect, and are required for a secure communication. These processes can be executed in different devices, among them PCs, microprocessors, microcontrollers, biometric cards or mobile devices.

Biometric identity cards are becoming increasingly popular, challenging traditional PC devices. This presentation compares two processing systems, the efficiency of encryption and signatures on the data executed in national identity biometric card versus PC, known also as the match-on-card versus the match-off-card. It considers how different parameters impact the process and the role they play on the overall process. The results, executed with a predefined set of test vectors, determine which processing system to use in a certain situation. Final conclusions and recommendations are given taking into consideration the efficiency and security of the data.

Data Analytics in Health: The Future of Disease Prognosis

Abstract The focus of the research study is to investigate and analyses the current analytical issues in approaches and analysis of diabetes in order to make sense of the data and use it to improve the health system. Within the investigation of the set of data from the ministry of health of Kosovo realised several types of analyses using different software tools. The lack of a formal definition for Big Data has led research to evolve into multiple and inconsistent paths.

Furthermore, the existing ambiguity among researchers and practitioners undermines an efficient development of the subject especially its potential to be used in medicine within the bioinformatics discipline. The current main challenge is to efficiently translate science into modern medicine that is limited by our capacity to process and understand these big data. So, there is an urgent need to develop and integrate new, mathematical and computational models with the ability to analyze Big Data in order to retrieve useful information to aid clinicians in accurately diagnosing and treating patients to improve patient outcomes.

Scientists and health-care providers may learn from one another when it comes to understanding the value of Big Data and analytics. Data, derived by patients and consumers, also requires analytics to become actionable. Insights and recommendations are provided, and argumented are provided and discussed.

A heursitic approach for an optimal university shift scheduling

Abstract Nowadays the number of students within educational institutions increases rapidly, leading to the more and more higher complexity during assigning of students as well as teachers to the teaching courses. Knowing that the typical educational timetabling problems are NP complete, there can be found a number of heuristic algorithms designed to solve those problems. The most of such approaches tends either to solve problems from the teacher point of view or from the student point of view. In this paper, a new heuristic approach for the solution of University timetabling problem is proposed and implemented, having in consideration at the same time more source indicators like, professor availability , student, optimal room availability, fitting optimal number of students within course classes, minimal waiting time for students between courses time, etc. All these indicators can be previously assigned to the set of values in order to restrict the space searching. There is also implemented a cross-platform web application that helps administrative officials to manage the services included within the platform. The platform aims to provide scalability, high availability and low latency. The approach is tested, verified and successfully used for the solving of timetabling problems at some faculties within UKZ.

Prof. Asoc. Dr. Artan Dermaku studied Computer Science at Vienna University of Technology (TU-Wien), Faculty of Computer Science, 5 years-program, and received Msc (Dipl.Ing) in 2007. Doctoral studies with main research topic in the developmental heuristic algorithms for finding of optimal paths using low cost sensors, finished also at Vienna University of Technology – Institute for the Intelligent Handling Devices and Robotics.

Project title: Advantages of Moodle 3.2 against Google Classroom

Authors: Prof.Dr. Basri AHMEDI, Agnesë KRASNIQI, Artina SYLA, Diellza BAJRAMI, Florianë MUSHICA

Faculty of Computer Sciences, Public University “Kadri Zeka” Gjilan

Abstract Thanks to technology developments and massive use of computers and other electronic devices, new forms of learning, other than traditional ones, have spread. Almost everyone has experienced a form of e-learning in the business, education, or social context. Electronic learning uses electronic media to facilitate learning. Web pages, presentations, digital books, or dedicated electronic courses are examples of electronic learning. Educational Institutions require different types of Learning Management System - LMS. To find out which one is most appropriate, the platforms, the opportunities they offer, and their prices have to be analyzed. The idea of this project is to get acquainted with one of the e-learning platform e.g. Google classroom and comparison with Moodle 3.2 platform which is used at “Kadri Zeka” University. During this study, there are many controversies about how learning platform such as Google Classroom. Although it is more powerful and has a greater name based on the results of this study, Google Classroom does not provide enough opportunities that can help increase the quality of education in institutions that is used as it can offer Moodle 3.2. The incorporation of the e-Learning platform at “Kadri Zeka” University has led to a significant increase in the number of participants in the courses. The use of e-Learning as an e-learning platform in the teaching process at the University of Gjilan has continued for 3 years and is still used today. The project includes statistics, research, testing, and ultimately it gives a conclusion on which platform is most appropriate for our conditions.

Project title: Programming and Coding with Scratch

Authors: Prof. Dr. Xhevdet THAQI, Ensar KRASNIQI

Faculty of Computer Sciences, Public University “Kadri Zeka” Gjilan

Abstract Every day, the need of computer devices is steadily rising. And with that more programs are created to maintain this trend. Most of the developing is done by professional programmers, that use really complicated programming languages, but what about kids, how can they learn and program different applications easier? That’s what me and my Mentor will try to explain with this presentation. A presentation about programming with the Scratch Programming Language. Not only Scratch is a programming language suited for children, it is so extensible, that even professional developers and professors can use it effectively. Also, we will try and demonstrate a few greater projects made in Scratch to show that not only it’s possible to create valid problem solving projects, it’s also possible to use Scratch to make really breathtaking animations and interactive projects. Keywords: Programing, Coding, Scratch

Project title: Creating a student complaint management application

Authors: Prof.Dr. Basri AHMEDI, Florika QERIMI, Kastriot KADRIU

Faculty of Computer Sciences, Public University “Kadri Zeka” Gjilan

Abstract The purpose of this project is to create an application in which students will feel free to submit complaints or dissatisfaction with professors and the university in general. The survey is done to see how punctual the professors are in what they do, do they respect the schedule and the syllabus, what are the communicative values, and what is the student-professor relationship, as well as the possibility of an assessment of univrsity in general. In order for students to feel more comfortable, evaluations and comments are published anonymously for both professors and the university. In the same line as anonymity, we have also worked on the integrity of this platform. Thus, through a special logic, we will make sure that only those who are really students of our university will be able to register and eventually give estimates. These estimates are calculated with an algorithm and provide accurate data for each professor. The purpose of the application for managing student complaints is primarily to increase the performance level at the university rather than to lower the professor and university values. Keywords: Application, Surveys, Raising the Level of Performance at The University

Project title: Digitalization of school library services

Authors: Buen BAJRAMI, Prof. Dr. Xhevdet THAQI

Faculty of Computer Sciences, Public University “Kadri Zeka” Gjilan

Abstract The main problem directly related to access to university literature is obviously the lack of an electronic library management system. Students are obliged to access a non-university literature which is placed on the public market without any academic criteria.

In this project we have enabled students to have a platform where they will have access to the internet at any time and will be familiar with the literature of their university. The platform has been organized on two parts, that server-side and client-side, where students will be provided with full and authorized information for the book and its reservation to be mailed directly to the library manager, also on the other hand the administrator also has the possibility of library management and library students / readers.

This platform enables the exchange of books between the university and the student in the fastest and most secure way possible in online form.

Project title: The influence of Technology in the system of education – Case Study Municipality of Gjilan

Authors: Prof.Dr. Ragmi Mustafa, Ass.PhD.Cand. Refik Ramadani

Faculty of Computer Sciences, Public University “Kadri Zeka” Gjilan

Abstract

The time we are living is making the world smaller ever and more. This positive phenomenon for mankind is happening thanks to the language of technology, which by creating better connections every time, is greatly assisting the process of globalization.

The first step in the formation of this language are their positive ideas and impressions from them. Modern technological ideas, which include a great positivity in society and are linked with thinking and communication. But where does such a close consolidation between communication and thinking relies on? The first beginnings of general communication are based on education, which creates unusual creative communication ideas. With a word, education is among the dominant factors in the language of scientific communication. But what does it really differentiate the language of communication from the language into the ordinary sense? How can one explain the fact that the language of science as a whole can be recognized by everyone? Science and technology aim at the clarity and maximum accuracy of the concepts, the connection between them and the consistency with the data of our senses. Scientific and technological language has a supranational character. The overwhelming character of technological concepts and the scientific language is perceived by the fact that they are created by the best minds of all time and of all countries that started as an educational step.

Our century is characterized by the denigration of the goals and the perfection of the tools for their realization. Technology tools are becoming more and more perfect every day, contributing to the ease of everyone's' life in all spheres. Among the most important areas is the education as well. What is the exact contribution of technology to education?

Project title: Implementation and design of VOIP at the University

Authors: Prof.Dr. Basri Ahmedi, Nusmir Bunjaku, Lirigzon Salihu, Dreni Sahiti, Ardian Rashiti

Faculty of Computer Sciences, Public University “Kadri Zeka” Gjilan

Abstract

Much of the information exchanged on public and private networks in telecommunications is Voice. Older technologies used special devices for voice transport. Usually those devices utilized electricity for data transfer, for which reason many problems such as: Interferences, can not be sent at distant distances because many signal generators and long cables needed, while the quality of the signal with the increase the signal distance fell a lot. To overcome these problems, there was a need to switch to technology called VOIP (Voice over IP). VOIP is implemented without having additional telecommunications equipment, but only by using similar devices for access to the Internet. VoIP is the transmission of voice and multimedia data being transferred through Internet Protocol (IP). Codes that we use Endpoint VoIP (Telephony) usually use the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) standard codecs as G.711, which is the standard for packet packet transmission and G.729 for compression packets. Usually as soon as the voice is encapsulated over IP then transmitted via the RTP (Real-Time Transport) protocol.The devices used to perform a VoIP topology are the following: Router, Switch, VoIP support phones, Cables.
