Identifying Key Challenges in Performance Issues in Cloud Computing
Статья научная
Cloud computing is a harbinger to a newer era in the field of computing where distributed and centralized services are used in a unique way. In cloud computing, the computational resources of different vendors and IT services providers are managed for providing an enormous and a scalable computing services platform that offers efficient data processing coupled with better QoS at a lower cost. The on-demand dynamic and scalable resource allocation is the main motif behind the development and deployment of cloud computing. The potential growth in this area and the presence of some dominant organizations with abundant resources (like Google, Amazon, Salesforce, Rackspace, Azure, GoGrid), make the field of cloud computing more fascinating. All the cloud computing processes need to be in unanimity to dole out better QoS i.e., to provide better software functionality, meet the tenant’s requirements for their desired processing power and to exploit elevated bandwidth.. However, several technical and functional e.g., pervasive access to resources, dynamic discovery, on the fly access and composition of resources pose serious challenges for cloud computing. In this study, the performance issues in cloud computing are discussed. A number of schemes pertaining to QoS issues are critically analyzed to point out their strengths and weaknesses. Some of the performance parameters at the three basic layers of the cloud — Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as a Service and Software as a Service — are also discussed in this paper.

Image Watermarking Using 3-Level Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT)
Статья
We have implemented a robust image watermarking technique for the copyright protection based on 3-level discrete wavelet transform (DWT). In this technique a multi-bit watermark is embedded into the low frequency sub-band of a cover image by using alpha blending technique. The insertion and extraction of the watermark in the grayscale cover image is found to be simpler than other transform techniques. The proposed method is compared with the 1-level and 2-level DWT based image watermarking methods by using statistical parameters such as peak-signal-to-noise-ratio (PSNR) and mean square error (MSE). The experimental results demonstrate that the watermarks generated with the proposed algorithm are invisible and the quality of watermarked image and the recovered image are improved.

Impact of Cognitive and Emotional Intelligence on Quality Education
Статья научная
At present school and colleges are expanding very much quantitatively but less attention is being paid at the quality of education. In order to improve the quality of any course, the present study will be conducted, and this study is related to the improvement of the selection criterion of candidates by introducing the significance of testing emotional intelligence also. Till now the gold standard of selection the candidates for any course, has been cognitive intelligence tests. Previous researches had proved that emotional intelligence is much more important than cognitive intelligence. Then it should also be measured or tested. In other words if a student is cognitively intelligent, will he/she also be emotionally intelligent relatively or not. Is it different according to sex, locality etc. so in order to find out the difference between cognitive and emotional intelligence of students we have performed this study.

Impact of Foreign Language Proficiency and English Uses on Intercultural Sensitivity
Статья научная
The main purpose of this study was to examine the impact of English uses and English proficiency on inter-cultural sensitivity among 292 Taiwanese participants. Results indicate that there is a significant differential level of English uses across three groups of the participants (high, moderate and low frequency of English uses). Post-hoc comparison indicated that high-frequency English usesrs have significantly higher inter-cultural sensitivity than moderate and low-frequency users. However, the results do not support the hypothesized linkage between foreign language proficiency and inter-cultural sensitivity. The implications from these findings suggest that the frequency of English uses will better equip EFL learners with sufficient socio-linguistic competences and communicative skills compared with English proficiency. Moreover, inter-cultural sensitivity is a skill learned through authentic interaction in an intercultural context. Thus, the MOF in Taiwan should rethink of washback effect of the English Benchmark Policy.

Статья научная
The pandemic situation due to covid-19 has disrupted routine activities such as attending classes physically in educational institutions, which insisted on moving towards online education with the help of advent and increased uses of new telecommunication services. Service quality is the prerequisite for customer satisfaction. Service quality assessment is crucial to ensure increased customer satisfaction in any service. Typically, it is not easy to evaluate service quality because of opacity in the information, and incompleteness characteristics of problems. With the collected data through an online survey, this study aims to analyze the facts that influence the students’ perception regarding the impact of telecommunication service quality on online education during the pandemic situation. Initially, some relevant criteria are derived from literature reviews. The proposed model is exerted to evaluate the quality of the online education and telecommunication service in Bangladesh during the covid-19 pandemic with the participation of 350 students answering 39 questions. The collected data is analyzed to assess the current state of service quality by evaluating the students’ satisfaction using the entropy technique. The findings of the study suggest that the online education system in Bangladesh is not interactive enough, and the telecommunication service quality here is not sufficient for this purpose. Telecommunication challenges such as poor network quality, overpricing structure of telecommunication services and slow connection speed must be resolved to ensure satisfactory quality of online education.

We reported BodoAR, a marker-based AR application suitable for teaching the Bodo language, a tribal language of India in this work. The proposed application was developed using UNITY. To find the efficacy of the proposed BodoAR, five research questions were formed. An empirical study was conducted in five primary schools on two distinct user groups: native and non-native speakers of the Bodo language. All the participants were again randomly divided into two other groups- the experimental and the control group. A mixed-method approach was employed to collect the data, utilizing quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Analysis of empirical data shows native Bodo speakers' learning - in terms of academic achievements was significantly improved using the proposed application. For non-native students, experimental groups performed better than the controlled group. Both the native and non-native experimental groups experienced low anxiety, positive attitudes, and high levels of satisfaction while using the BodoAR application. Additionally, the academic achievements and attitudes of the native students in the experimental group were positively and significantly correlated. In contrast, the achievement of non-native students exhibits a positive and significant relationship with usability. The findings show increased satisfaction and academic performance among students who used the BodoAR application, affirming its effectiveness in enhancing Bodo language learning for primary school children.

Implementation of Instructional Design Models without Considering Inclusive Education
Статья научная
At present, education is a matter of global concern and it is the responsibility of all States to be able to provide the ideal conditions so that it is accessible to the entire population. As indicated by one of the objectives of the 2030 Agenda which seeks to guarantee inclusive and equitable education quality. Different studies indicate that instructional design models allow the creation of optimal educational environments for all people and that their correct application allows students to generate satisfactory learning, however, there is an important group of people who are not considered in the tests of these models making it is impossible to reach the goal of achieving the desired educational inclusion. Therefore, the stated objective is to demonstrate that people with some type of disability have not been considered to work and to validate the studies that use different models, approaches or techniques to develop virtual learning environments. The results are worrisome as they demonstrate that of the 90 scientific articles analyzed, only 4.44% have included topics related to disability and of the total sample of participants that total 11,732 people, only 42, that is, 0.36%, had some type of disability. This shows that we are very far from being able to meet the sustainable development goal that seeks to guarantee inclusive and equitable quality education. Based on the results achieved, it is intended to sensitize governments, educational institutions and teachers around the world to work responsibly to close the gap that marginalizes people with disabilities and build appropriate virtual learning environments that guarantee that everyone can access and learn in the best way.

Implementation of Weighted Product Method for Evaluating Performance of Technicians
Статья научная
The ISP is responsible for providing programmable cables or DSL modems. The ISP will send a technician to run the cabling and activate the service to the home or office. There are several obstacles from observations made at PT Telkom Akses Ujung Berung in evaluating the performance of Technicians. Management has difficulty evaluating the performance of the desired assessment technician. The evaluation process still uses an assessment based on subjective perceptions from the team leader, this is due to the absence of appropriate methods to be applied in the process of evaluating the performance of technicians at PT Telkom Akses Ujung Berung. One way to overcome the problem is the existence of a method for making appropriate decisions to assess or evaluate the performance of the Technician. The purpose of this research is to implement a decision support system that is implemented in an application performance evaluation technician with the Android-based Weight Product method that can solve problems by multiplying to connect the attribute rating with the corresponding weight attribute. In this method, there are 5 criteria used and 12 alternative ratings for PT. Telkom Access Ujung Berung. The results of this research are the highest results from the criteria, which are sorted from the highest to the lowest technician scores so that it can facilitate the management in evaluating the performance of technicians at PT Telkom Akses Ujung Berung.

Implementation of a Simple Document Repository System
Статья научная
Document repository systems have been developed actively for decades and have become quite popular on the internet. Now we can recognize several typical types of document repositories and find the full-text-search functionality as a useful search method for document repositories, so we think it has some significance to show as a mile stone an implementation scheme which covers basic types and functionality of the current document repositories which have full-text-search functionality. The basic functions covered by our scheme are: to create, read, update, delete (so called CRUD) of documents and a session control with an optional authentication. We present a description for each part of CRUD of our scheme. We implemented a library according to our scheme and developed small document repositories using the library. Our repository library and its applications form web applications whose script language is Perl. The implementation loosely follows the MVC (Model, View, Control) model for modularity and each MVC part of the library and its application named TEST are described. We also present a description of another application of our library which the author is conducting in the department he belongs to. We show some views of these applications. We conclude that our library works fine for the needs of building small repositories in a short time.

Improve Abstract Reasoning in Computer Introductory Courses
Статья научная
Due to the elevated programming courses' failing rate in our department (45%) an action research was initiated. As part of this action research, that was performed during four semesters several course structures and learning tactics were examined. The evaluation methodology was simple and based only on the percentage of failing students. The success achieved was attributed to two main factors (1) using a visualization environment (Micro-world) for the whole duration of the course, which helped in understanding the more complex and abstract issues, and (2) using individual assignments that enforced better learning habits and development of individual algorithmic thinking. The paper describes the various attempts, as well as the final structure, that reduced the failing students by over 77%.

Improve Teaching Method of Data Mining Course
Статья научная
It is clearly perceived that most of theoretical information we teach to students are lost after graduation, mostly because abstract information do not last in students' minds much longer than the final exams, as they are not related to practical aspects and uses. Though labs are useful, they are not enough as they only offer exercises, but the course benefits will highly increase if students implement theories and exercises on a real life project. Data mining (DM) is one of the core courses which Information Systems students start to use after graduation once they start their career life. This paper focuses on improving the teaching ways of the course we shall implement, in order to attain a better understanding and comprehension by the students to make it more useful in their future real life careers, and it demonstrates the improvements in students' marks average after applying main concepts to real data

Big data such as social network data, financial data, and disease data have multiple dimensions that are more complicated to interpret by the human brain. In this regard, the concept of three-dimensional metaphor-based information visualization and navigation has become very important for big data visualization. The three-dimensional visual metaphors can be used to represent information allowing dealing with more abstract data of larger volumes. Therefore new three-dimensional metaphors are needed for the visualization of multidimensional attributes into easily readable and understandable forms. When compared with 2D data representations, 3D brings many advantages in complex data visualization. But most of the existing 3D visualizations result in complex Graphical User Interfaces that require high cognitive efforts to clearly understand these datasets. Therefore this paper presents a novel 3D user interface metaphor for visual analytics of multidimensional data which leads to drawing better conclusions on the datasets. The proposed system represents information in a more realistic 3D setting. The concept of the 3D water fountain metaphor is adopted to implement the novel data exploration mechanism in 3D space. This paper provides an outline of the proposed conceptual design. Employing a Vector-Borne Disease dataset as a case study, a proof-of-concept prototype based on this conceptual design is developed. The applicability of the conceptual metaphor is showcased through two distinct experiments, each involving four groups engaged in decision-making scenarios within the realm of multidimensional data visualization. Key findings reveal that 85% of the data analysis tasks were efficiently completed using the proposed 3D metaphor. Notably, user satisfaction levels including feedback on learnability, interface aesthetics, ease of use, and overall user experience were graded high. These key findings of the evaluation underscore the heightened potential of 3D user interface metaphors for facilitating visual analytics of multidimensional datasets.

Improved PSO tuned Classical Controllers (PID and SMC) for Robotic Manipulator
Статья научная
Due to simplicity and robustness, classical PID and SMC have been still widely used in practical applications. Performance of these controllers (PID and SMC) depends upon the value of some of the constant controller parameters. To avoid the most commonly used tedious trial and error method, this paper proposes an improved PSO based method for getting the optimized value of these parameters. For validation purpose these improved PSO tuned Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) and Sliding Mode (SMC) classical controllers have been applied for the motion control problem of the robotic manipulator. The chattering problem of SMC has been handled by using pseudo sliding function. Further results have been analyzed by comparing them with the basic conventional controllers. Results and conclusions are based on simulation results.
