The foundational concepts for this area of knowledge were based upon a system of binary computing. Digital technology has accomplished much in its relatively short lifespan, including the inspiration of the invention of ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) codes used to encode basic symbols using numerical digits. This can be seen as the most important use of digital technology - to vastly increase the rate of data transmission by encoding information in the combinations of the binary digits 0 and 1. It has become so influential that the modern world as we know it is virtually incapable of proceeding without its assistance. However, despite of its benefits, there exists, undeniably, a dark side to this technology. The chief aim of this paper is to present a detailed analysis of the negative aspects related to the use of digital technology, which too often go unmentioned. The discussion will be based upon an organized review of such literature as uses a sound research methodology. This will include undertaking a review of some crucial studies conducted around the globe related to this. Other reviews currently in existence will also be taken into consideration. This method review will help assemble innovative and fresh pragmatic solutions regarding the titular topic. The paper will be concluded with recommendations to help eliminate future threats and to mitigate possible risk factors. A few sectors which could be aided by further scientific exploration will also be highlighted in the final concluding statements.","PeriodicalId":305464,"journal":{"name":"2018 21st Saudi Computer Society National Computer Conference (NCC)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134095103","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}

IS students are lacking the skills that are required by Saudi industry. Recruiters, on the other hand, consider the GPA as a major factor for hiring IS candidates. This paper discusses the impacts of self-regulated learning strategies and academic achievements on matching the required skills of Saudi industry. Therefore, it identifies the most required skills of IS jobs in Saudi industry and how the skills of IS students in major Saudi universities can match them. Two questionnaires were distributed, one for recruiters and another for students. First questionnaire is to assess the required IS skills in Saudi industry by recruiters. Second questionnaire is to capture the skills, self-regulated learning (SRL), and academic achievement of IS students. The collected data was used to develop a classification model using Decision Tree, Naïve Bayes, and Nearest Neighbor algorithms to predict the suitability of IS graduates to the Saudi industry. The results show that the Naïve Bayes algorithm performed the best (with accuracy 69% and ROC 0.62). Finally, this paper demonstrated a novel way to predict student skills’ suitability for the industry and thereby helping the universities to design better curriculum and the students to prepare better for the job market.","PeriodicalId":305464,"journal":{"name":"2018 21st Saudi Computer Society National Computer Conference (NCC)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134307411","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}

Today, the education has come out from the traditional class room scenario and spread its wings to collaborate with technology. The faculties and students have become more tech savvy as the learning and teaching process is utilizing the advance technology on regular basis. Due to digitalization and virtualization of teaching resources through the Internet, and adoption of Cloud Computing by educational institutions has been significantly increased. Despite the heavily increasing pressure of financial obligations for educational institutions to deliver state of art facilities with minimum resources and maximum efforts the Educational institutions, both public and private must utilize the potential advantage of Cloud Computing to ensure high quality service regardless of the minimal resources available the cloud computing is growing and acting as a game changer in academia because of its various advantages and usages. Now Educational institutions are using various cloud-based applications provided by the various service providers to ensure that their faculties, wards and other stack holders can perform both academic as well as non-academics tasks. Thus, this research will seek to establish the benefits associated with the use of cloud computing in Educational Institution. The solutions provided by the cloud technology ensure that the research and development, as well as the teaching is more sustainable and efficient, thus positively influencing the quality of learning and teaching within Educational Institution. This has also led to all the educational institutions to adopt cloud technology as a solution to various technological challenges they face on a daily routine.","PeriodicalId":305464,"journal":{"name":"2018 21st Saudi Computer Society National Computer Conference (NCC)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133556086","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 obtain these requirements, millimeter wave (MMW) signals and subsystems are the most suitable to be used. The Modules and devices, proposed for these networks, are intended to use the efficient capabilities of photonic technologies. In this paper, a photonics-based millimeter wave switch, for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals, is proposed by exploiting the nonlinear effects in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). This includes four wave mixing (FWM), self-phase modulation (SPM) and cross-gain modulation (XGM). A 10 Gbps/16QAM-OFDM signal carried over 30 GHz MMW carrier is considered for signal switching. Moreover, we studied the up- and down-wavelength conversion schemes, in terms of probe and pump signal’s power. Furthermore, we investigate the effects of SOA’s injection current and wavelength spacing between the two injected beams that enable optical single sideband (OSSB) generation and switching. Simulation results show possibility of transmitting and switching OFDM signal with 1 x10-3and 13 % rms symbol error rate (SER) and error vector magnitude (EVM), at -22 dBm received power. The simulation is carried out using Virtual Photonic Integrated (VPI) software.","PeriodicalId":305464,"journal":{"name":"2018 21st Saudi Computer Society National Computer Conference (NCC)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133726352","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}

However, some Saudi organizations lack the security awareness. This paper represents some previous studies that were conducted to evaluate the state of policy and information security awareness and application in a Saudi organization. The paper considers a small Saudi organization to perform a case study, to audit its state and describe the possible risk scenarios that may take place. Most information about the company was gathered by interviewing its CEO. The audit found five possible risk scenarios, named lack of security policy, personal information leakage from the website, the risk of damage of the CEO’s device and two scenarios related to outsourcing companies. The paper provided some recommendations to the audited organization which may serve other organizations that have the same characteristics, which are adopting and documenting a comprehensive security policy and procedures from beginning stages of a company, ensure that the employees are aware of these documents and the required practices to secure sensitive information. In addition, introduce a mechanism to ensure that security controls are met and to secure personal information transmitted over their website and recommending to regularly checks that the website is bugs free. Additionally, recommends considering more security details on the outsourcing contracts and involve a specialized attorney on it. Also, prefer short-term out-sourcing contracts and take possible alternatives third-party companies into consideration as a precaution.","PeriodicalId":305464,"journal":{"name":"2018 21st Saudi Computer Society National Computer Conference (NCC)","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116919681","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 same is transmitted over the Internet to other medical practitioner to get the second opinion from doctors located in remote areas. Numbers of issues are raised with this transmission of medical information, for example, authenticity and confidentiality of medical information. To overcome these important issues, a medical image watermarking system has been proposed which first segments the input medical image into a region of interest (ROI) and region of non interest (RONI) areas. Later it implants two different watermarks in ROI and RONI. The first watermark is fragile watermark which is a binary pattern and is inserted in ROI and the other is robust watermark which is the composite watermark and is inserted in the RONI. The simple Least Significant Bit (LSB) substitution technique is employed for casting the watermarks. CT scan medical images are used for experiments. The simulation results reveal that proposed system provides better security of medical images as well addresses both the issues of authenticity and confidentiality.","PeriodicalId":305464,"journal":{"name":"2018 21st Saudi Computer Society National Computer Conference (NCC)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116457688","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}
