Augmented Reality (AR) is the primary technology for this proposed application project. AR is a real-world interactive experience in which real-world items are augmented with computer-generated perceptual information. The idea of this project is to use AR to complement the traditional method of learning with flashcards. Because schools are closed during this outbreak, traditional learning is unavailable. This study proposes the use of 3D animation in Augmented Reality (AR) to illustrate each of the fruits to overcome and improve traditional learning among students. The use of 3D animation with the Augmented Reality (AR) method on fruits and nutrition learning content outperforms the 2D illustration method in terms of student understanding. Furthermore, case studies on the application of AR technology to fruit learning content revealed that the proposed algorithm could be used as an alternative to determine the best way to teach and learn about fruits and nutrition. With this AR application, it can complement the traditional methods. To achieve the objectives of this project there are 4 main phases that need to be carried in developing this project. The first phase in developing this project is to study the data and learning interaction of fruits and the nutrition in handheld augmented reality. The second phase is designing process along with the development of the project. The third phase is to integrate the AR application. The final phase is to evaluate the user learning experience in fruits using the AR application. The project's expected outcome is evaluated using data collection and analysis from the users through the final phase.","PeriodicalId":50314,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Innovative Computing Information and Control","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75641130","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}

They are an essential element that plays a critical role in an organisation’s ability to sense environmental change and respond efficiently and effectively to that change. Besides the technology components of an information system and the fast pace of technological innovation, the people involved in the design, operation and maintenance are essential elements of information systems. Most of the research work on deciding whether or not to continue with legacy information systems has been centred mainly on intrinsic agility factors. Extrinsic agility factors like technical skilled personnel have largely been overlooked. But, as information systems age or in the case of highly rigid processes, extrinsic agility factors like technical skilled personnel will start playing an important role in deciding whether to prolong the life cycle of the information system. However, human skills obsolescence is a growing problem for organizations that must support legacy systems. The technical skilled staff are either ageing out or upgrading their skills to a non-procedural programming paradigm due to market demand. It is, therefore, imperative to regularly assess the technical skilled personnel competency level of a legacy information system. This study evaluates and classifies the technical knowledge of skilled personnel using a developed online assessment system with test questions based on the legacy information system application program. The result obtained indicates that the technical skilled staff can still operate and maintain the case study information system.","PeriodicalId":50314,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Innovative Computing Information and Control","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75864171","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}

Child safety is the number one priority of any parent. They are concerned about their child’s well-being and wanted to keep an eye on their child’s every movement. This project is meant to provide a solution to the concerned parents. This system includes three main components, a child tracking device, a parent-side application, and a cloud database. The tracking device is built using Arduino Uno Microcontroller Board, SIM808 GPS/GPRS/GSM module, and a push button. The tracking device sends its device ID, latitude, and longitude to the PHP server first using an HTTP request before it goes through the uploading process on the server to Firebase Database via HTTPS. Mobile EyeKids Parent-side application is based on Android where it is developed using the Flutter framework and implements Firebase Authentication for user authentication. The application consists of three main tracking functions, tracker, path tracking, and tracking analysis. The tracker function allows parents to track their child’s location based on the coordinate obtained which is displayed on a map. Path tracking functions show paths taken by children throughout a selected day on the map. Parents also are able to view analysis of child movement based on tracking data stored in the cloud database. The integration of hardware and software components of the system is evaluated to assess the correctness of the system through white box testing, black box testing, and user acceptance testing. The project follows a Rational Unified Process development model that has been adjusted to suit the size of the project and its requirements. The project has successfully developed and tested to be able to track child movement when the device is turned on and provide child location reports on a monthly basis.","PeriodicalId":50314,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Innovative Computing Information and Control","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83610696","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}

Though there are various activities that contributes to global warming, the major contributor is carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Human activities release large amounts of carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels, such as oil, gas, or coal in producing energy. Net zero is the new ambition of industries in balancing the CO2 emissions in environment. Thus, this study finds the best predictive model for CO2 emissions using machine learning model with the dataset of CO2 emissions from 1991 until 2020. Machine Learning techniques is an efficient approach to study the CO2 emissions prediction and has been very appealing to few research. The dataset is split into a train-test (estimation-validation) set with 80% train set and 20% test set (80:20) proportion. The predictive model was developed using Random Forest, Support Vector Machine and Artificial Neural Network algorithms with different parameters to get the outcome. The predictive model's performance was evaluated based on the error measurement metric of Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). Its reveals that Support Vector Machine with linear kernel function is the best model among others which produces 65.7254 Mean Absolute Error (MAE), 112.2196 Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and 0.2279% Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) from the train set. For industries committed to net zero carbon emissions, this analysis will be an advising factor on the prediction system to find the CO2 emissions and how much fossil fuels’ reduction is required in achieving net zero carbon emission by 2050.","PeriodicalId":50314,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Innovative Computing Information and Control","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78475305","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}

Because of the advantages that VLAN provides, network managers and operators have continued to use it in the creation of their networks and have even extended its use to include cloud computing networking. Previous research studies have established a lot of issues associated with VLAN architecture. Typically, it was revealed that it is difficult to set up a complex VLAN, and even it is successful, it leads to computational time-consuming, and prone to error to process majority of complex VLAN. Considering this, the current research examines the performance of “Software Defined- VLAN”. This is because Software-Defined Network (SDN) is a viable alternative network architecture that allows the separation of information and control functions on devices. It appears to be a promising optimized option VLAN administration. The SDN-enabled VLAN testbed was set out and implemented using OpenFlow. SDN-Enabled VLAN and a conventional VLAN.

Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) on NDP is used to determine whether or not an address requested by a node is already in use by another node. The Neighbor Solicitation (NS) and Neighbor Advertisement (NA) operations are associated to DAD checks in order to ensure that each interface within the transmission session is unique. Unfortunately, NS and NA operations have a significant disadvantage in that they are based on insecure architectures and lack verification procedures for determining whether incoming messages originate from a valid or illegitimate node. This will eventually allow any node in the same link to be manipulated during NS and NA message transmission sessions. Despite some attempts to secure the entire NDP operations, they still suffer from computing resources requirement for their operations. As a result, this study proposes an Initial Neighbor Inspection (INI) on DAD operation. The proposed techniques allow for an initial round of verification of the nodes on the same link before a broadcast request on the existence of neighbors, which is followed by another round of learning about neighbors’ existences. Conclusively, using this idea, as a simple verification will indicate the presence of neighbors, we may restrict solicitation and advertising to only those who are eligible. This means that the computational processing time for NS and NA on DAD operations would not rise.","PeriodicalId":50314,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Innovative Computing Information and Control","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82551144","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}

One risk mitigation process is investing in cyber insurance to safeguard the organisations’ assets from cyber threats by transferring them to the insurer. For businesses to decide on cyber insurance, choosing the right insurance plan and policy is crucial. To do so, they need to consider the factors of its implementation. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the adoption of cyber insurance in Malaysian organisations, thus further exploring the organisations' perceptions of the factors of adopting cyber insurance. A qualitative study is conducted to understand and describe Malaysian organisations’ needs, obstacles, and processes related to cyber insurance adoption by interviewing cybersecurity professionals and cyber insurance personnel to explore valuable insight into the existing knowledge. 30% of the respondents have adopted cyber insurance. While 40% of the respondents were unsure, the other 30% did not adopt cyber insurance in their organisation respectively. These insights include the factors in adopting cyber insurance among Malaysian organisations, which might be crucial for informing future research and practice in the cyber insurance industry. The novelty of this research is the overview of knowledge gaps and perceptions related to the adoption of cyber insurance in Malaysian organisations. Also, this research aims to consider the advantages of the relevant obstacles that influence the decision makers to adopt cyber insurance.","PeriodicalId":50314,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Innovative Computing Information and Control","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82254248","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}
