Refactoring is applied when a bad smell is detected. Several bad smells might be present in the code. In this paper, we conduct an empirical study to find if the order of applying refactoring has any impact on the quality of the final code. We run six experiments by applying three refactoring methods in different orders and evaluate the quality of the code using software metrics at the end of each refactoring sequence. Our experiments results show that that applying refactoring in different order provides different impact on the final code.","PeriodicalId":210905,"journal":{"name":"2016 7th International Conference on Computer Science and Information Technology (CSIT)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124393259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fame of internet use, and the wide spread of mobile and portable means made the access to the governmental services easy and reachable at any time for a wide sector of citizens. People with disabilities have all the right to benefit from the e-services provided by the governmental websites equally with other citizens. To do so e-government websites must conform with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). This paper was undertaken with three main purposes in mind, First: identifying the accessibility level of Jordanian e-Government websites in conformance with web content accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 1.0) at three level of priority, Second: assessing the efforts that have been devoted by the e-government websites to improve accessibility of Jordanian citizens with disability by comparing the recent results with our own study held in 2008. And finally, comparing Jordanian e-government accessibility results with another country (i.e. Dubai's e-government). The results indicate that the majority of Jordanian e-government websites fail to meet the minimum W3C accessibility conformance level. on the other hand many considerable improvements have taken place during the past 8 years. More than 65% of the errors had been eliminated. In comparison with Dubai's study, Jordanian e-Government websites score better in term of the average number of errors per page for priority1 and priority3 and approximate average number of errors per page for priority3.","PeriodicalId":210905,"journal":{"name":"2016 7th International Conference on Computer Science and Information Technology (CSIT)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116866130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It's very important to recognise the type of recitations, especially with the diversity and the spread of Qira'at in the world. This research presents a speech recognition system that distinguishes between the different types of the Qur'an recitation. The aim here is to design and developed a speech recognition for recitation of the Holy Qur'an for detecting the types of recitations and correction of fundamental and general errors. Although, there are several analysers that have been examined for error corrections, unfortunately, these analysers were not suitable for the act of recitation of the Holy Qur'an. Thus, the proposed system will be capable to recognize, identify and point out any mismatch. An experiment among student recitation with the recitation made by the expert teachers stored in a database has been done. Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) for feature extraction and Hidden Markov Models (HMM) for feature classification are used.","PeriodicalId":210905,"journal":{"name":"2016 7th International Conference on Computer Science and Information Technology (CSIT)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122117688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many theoretical and experimental researches have been conducted to recognize the emotions from verbal or non-verbal behaviors. It is well known that the electroencephalogram (EEG) signals contain rich information about the activities of the brain and they can reliably enable us to estimate the emotions if they are properly interpreted. In this paper, we propose a model to discriminate the emotional state of a person by analyzing his brain signals recorded during listening to the Quran and using a machine learning approach. It is assumed that listening to the Quran brings reverence, and hence two types of emotions emerge which are distinguished as happy and unhappy. In our analysis, we used the Power Spectral Density (PSD) of different bands as features and the Support Vector Machine (SVM) as a classifier. Experiments were conducted by 14 participants and they gave a classification accuracy rate 85.86%.","PeriodicalId":210905,"journal":{"name":"2016 7th International Conference on Computer Science and Information Technology (CSIT)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116109691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seamless mobility between heterogeneous networks with the required Quality of Services (QoS) provisioning for Mobile Terminals (MTs) is one of the most challenging issues while considering LTE-WiFi integration. Several studies reported in the literature have addressed the vertical handover (VHO) challenges between the two access networks. However, none of these approaches provides the MTs with the required QoS without adding a new entity or increasing the signaling cost. Thus, this paper proposes a VHO decision algorithm between LTE-WiFi heterogeneous networks. A performance study is conducted which compares the proposed approach with the WiFi First (WF) approach. Results show that the proposed approach can support QoS and reduce Wi-Fi blocking probability without adding any new entities to the infrastructure or increasing signaling costs. Also, the proposed approach outperforms existing solutions in terms of delay and signaling costs, while providing the MTs with the required QoS.","PeriodicalId":210905,"journal":{"name":"2016 7th International Conference on Computer Science and Information Technology (CSIT)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129808910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To do that, two datasets are extracted which are consisting of tweets that had either organizations' names or cloud names. We study, and analyze the way customers think about them. In this regard, many organizations tend to find out what do customers think or tweet about their products in order to effectively plan marketing campaigns and try to gain the positive impact of Word-of-Mouth. Results are analyzed and explained in details in term of polarity and emotions classifications to show the impact of sentiment analysis to support organizations decisions. We can note from the emotions classification results that, “joy” category is better for Microsoft Azure comparing to Amazon, The “sadness” percentage is larger for Amazon comparing to Microsoft Azure. Furthermore, we can note from the polarity classification that Microsoft Azure has 65% positive tweets compared 45% for Amazon.

With attention that data shared are constituted with policy implicitly or explicitly, this paper proposes an automatic design of data policy via policy programming language in order to handle interest management. The study starts by analyzing secondary data through massive literature reviews. Two pertinent issues on interest management and data policy are explored, analyzed and summarized. Based on the research gap found in these analyses, an interest management for automated data policy is designed. As a case study, a new set of programming constructs are implemented and embedded into an existing collaborative language called JACIE (Java-based Authoring language for Collaborative Interactive Environments) that acts as a policy programming language. The results of this study conform that automated data policy is feasible and functioning well. Thus, this helps an interest manager to have flexible data policy in handling collaborative activities.","PeriodicalId":210905,"journal":{"name":"2016 7th International Conference on Computer Science and Information Technology (CSIT)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130333502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
