Title:	COMPARATIVE WEB ACCESSIBILITY EVALUATION OF SAUDI GOVERNMENT WEBSITES FOR COMPLIANCE WITH WCAG 1.0 AND WCAG 2.0 USING AUTOMATIC WEB ACCESSIBILITY TOOLS
Author:	MUHAMMAD AKRAM, ROSNAFISAH BT SULAIMAN
Abstract:	Web sites are an essential source of information in education, social life, employment, government, commerce, e-shopping, healthcare etc. As the Saudi government is continuously introducing many new e-services for his citizen and residents, but still many disable peoples are not able to get full advantage from these e-services due to poor web accessibility. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) reports, more than one billion people live with different kinds of disabilities all over the world. Saudi Arabia has 720,000 disabled people which are about 4% of the total Saudi population. Many researchers documented that government official paid very little attention towards the need for disabled people during the planning and implementation of web projects. Therefore, it is essential that all citizens and resident of Saudi Arabia must have equal opportunities to access and benefit from all e-government recourses. The objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the web accessibility of Saudi government websites by using automatic web accessibility tools. Fifteen Saudi government websites were selected, and the homepage of each website was evaluated for web accessibility and HTML and CSS validity. Results generated by automatic accessibility tools exposes that most the government websites have serious accessibility problems which hinder the disable users to access the web contents completely. Furthermore, automated web accessibility tools are not able to report some accessibility issues found by users because it is difficult for accessibility analysis tools to understand the way web contents interact with assistive technologies used by disabled users. However, findings in this study demand to do extensive research by involving the disabled users, web developers and accessibility experts in web accessibility evaluation process to improve the website accessibility and overall quality of websites.

Author:	GEDE WISNU ARTA SUYASA, NILO LEGOWO
Abstract:	Enterprise Risk Management is very important in a company because it can have a very important impact on information systems in the company. The purpose of this study is to analyze the risk of risk management information systems especially on financial technology which is based on the level of risk that is happening and also measure the level of maturity that has been applied whether it is in line with the expected target of one of the state-owned banks. this research uses ISO 31000 standard, observations, audit check lists, and interviews. In this risk management information system analysis will focus on 7 domains. The results of this study indicate that the level of risk faced by Bank XYZ is at the highest risk level. so that Bank XYZ must take control to overcome these risks. Information system maturity level at Bank XYZ has an average value of 3.00 which explains that it is still in the defined stage. While the target expected by Bank XYZ is 4.00. The gap of 1.00 must be a concern, because the level of risk arises due to the maturity level of the Bank XYZ system that has not been fulfilled.

Author:	OOK LEE , JUNGWOON CHOI
Abstract:	Humans have evolved to walk upright since a million years ago. However, as an industrial society entered, seating and working hours became abnormally high only a few decades ago. This has caused the human body to be badly affected. According to the preceding medical studies, the environment of sitting and working for a long time negatively affected adult diseases. In modern society, people are doing long-again tasks such as sitting in one place or standing up. This has many side effects on the human body. This is because humans have evolved in a moving direction. Reflecting this background, the study adds evolutionary biological perspective to think about working in a walking environment as well as standing desk working environment. It also expected expansion of the mobile office environment where smartphones, a type of smart work, are used directly in the field. To do so, it is going to carry out an experiment that does work with Smartphones. The study could help build and establish a mobile office environment, a type of smart work. In addition, a working environment for walking around as well as using smartphones could be developed. Furthermore, the work environment and the study environment of students could change.

Title:	IRBYTSA: A NOVEL LINK-SCHEDULING ALGORITHM FOR IEEE 802.15.4E TSCH NETWORK
Author:	IMAN HEDI SANTOSO, KALAMULLAH RAMLI
Abstract:	This paper proposes a novel algorithm named IRByTSA, as a scheduling algorithm that is both simpler and faster than TASA, in terms of its speed in generating link-schedule decision. The simplification makes IRByTSA a low-complexity algorithm. The IRByTSA algorithm owes its relatively low complexity to the following procedures: maximum matching to generate link-schedule; maximization of nodes performing simultaneous transmissions by prioritizing from higher-ranking nodes to leaf node; transmission of all queued data packets in bursts (bursty); and provides each node with a transmission opportunity based solely on turn. The research confirms that the resulting complexity is , which indicates that IRByTSA is a low-complexity algorithm. The advantage of using such a fast and low-complexity algorithm is increased network scalability, as the reduction in complexity and increase in speed enable the existing PCE to serve additional networks.

Title:	A MULTILEVEL PRINCIPAL COMPONENT ANALYSIS BASED QOS AWARE SERVICE DISCOVERY AND RANKING FRAMEWORK IN MULTI-CLOUD ENVIRONMENT
Author:	A V L N SUJITH, Dr. A. RAMA MOHAN REDDY, Dr. K MADHAVI
Abstract:	With the rapid increase in the utilization of the cloud services, various cloud service providers are keeping their efforts in the design and development of the Quality of Service (QoS) aware composite services that satisfy the user preferences. QoS aware cloud service discovery and selection is considered as an NP-hard problem due to the existence of similar cloud services in different cloud environments. Existing cloud service selection mechanisms adopt the procedure of calculating the weighted summation of the QoS attributes to select cloud services. But due to the lack of correlation between the QoS preferences of the cloud service, these approaches may produce inaccurate results. In this paper, a multilevel principal component analysis (PCA) based service selection mechanism is proposed to discover and rank the services based on the user preferences in a multi-cloud environment. Modified PCA based service agent is deployed to select the services on analyzing the QoS correlations if each service. Finally, the experimental results show that our proposed mechanism outperforms the existing service selection techniques in terms of computation time and reduction of discovery overhead.

Title:	A BELIEF FORECASTING METHODOLOGY TO PRESERVE DATA SECURITY AND PRIVACY IN MANET ROUTING
Author:	K. RAMESH RAO, S. N. TIRUMALA RAO, P. CHENNA REDDY
Abstract:	The importance of data communication in wireless network demands a complete belief system through which the data security and privacy can be preserved during communication. Even the increase of the utilization of wireless data sharing especially in short-range communication or ad hoc network suffers from impersonation and DoS attacks. It is highly important to identify the belief nodes which supports the sort range or hop based communication to have a secure and privacy routing. In this paper, we propose a Belief Forecasting Methodology (BFM) to forecast the routing node about the believing nodes to improvise the data privacy routing in MANET. The goal of the BFM to protect the network from the malicious intruders and secure the data privacy during routing. It will compute the Belief Weight (BW) prediction based on the node activity and trustiness to decide the level of privacy of a node to support routing. The experiment simulation was performed through intruding malicious node in the network to evaluate the improvisation, and the result analysis suggested the effectiveness of the BFM to preserve the routing privacy in comparison of different evaluation measures.

Title:	THE CONCEPT OF PINK MARKETING: A META-ANALYSIS FROM THE GENDER DIFFERENCES PRESPECTIVE
Author:	OSAMA AHMED ABDELKADER, AKRM AHMED ABDELKADER
Abstract:	Women are half the society, but so far women's issues have not been given proper attention in marketing researches. The world needs review papers cover furtherly the nature of dealing with women, with full respect for their rights, without being considered them as second-class populations on this planet. Thousands of scientific studies have identified dozens of gender differences between males and females in most physical, medical and behavioral fields. But literature needs researches that combine these gender differences in order to achieve effective integrations between men and women rather than racial discrimination against women. 17 meta-analyses papers were included in this current study; the results identified more than 74 fundamental differences that must be observed when dealing with women to achieve effective communication. The depended meta-analyses studies covered 1863 of previous studies; their samples were collected from more than 58 countries. One of the seventeen meta-analyses studies was added by this present study, it includes 65 of previous studies. The essence of the modern concept of marketing can be expressed in the question: "How (you/and what you offer) to be accepted from others?" therefore, this study presents a significant contribution in this context by suggesting the academic proposal of the "Marketing Pink" concept. It also could be considered as a strong review paper on the context of how to achieve more effective communication between women and men. Future researchers can address the components of the pink marketing mix and analyze other areas of gender differences to support the issues of successful dealing with women.

Author:	BELKADI SOUKAYNA, CHERTI ILIAS, BAHAJ MOHAMED
Abstract:	Due to fast evolution on the services provided by telecommunication companies, the Information Technology (IT) environment has been gaining an increasingly importance inside organizations which are under increasing pressure to improve their efficiency in delivering more and better services to citizens. As a result, IT governance tools are becoming increasingly important in the operation of business, namely ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) framework which has positioned itself as a generic solution to tackle a broad range of IT service Management (ITSM) issues and try to guide IT managers in their endeavors. However, researches about ITIL framework has been mostly restricted on the best practices of ITIL to the implementation of incident, problem and change management processes, but few of them focus on its improvement using lean methodology. Also the initiatives taken to improve ITIL processes using Lean have some limitations as they do not address all Lean’s principles and goals. The aim of this work is to study an innovative approach of Lean methodology applied to ITIL by representing an ontological framework of ITIL using Lean Toolkits and by developing a model with deeper explanation of the various concepts of Lean that could be used for qualitative use of ITIL service lifecycle, We will try in this paper to show how Lean, from the world of manufacturing, applies to ITIL can improve the performance and the safety of the information system.

Abstract:	Using of radar navigation in Indonesian Warships, specialty in Patrol Boats Unit of Indonesian Eastern Fleet is very vital as remote sensing devices in navigation. It’s using must exist absolutely at the time of Indonesian Warships carry out operations, so the readiness of radar navigation will greatly affect the implementation of the tasks performed. This study aims to obtain critical components on navigation radars on warships and also aims to obtain a critical time interval for replacing critical components of the navigation radar so that warships are ready to operate. In the next stage this research also aims to calculate the cost of critical component replacement components based on the Cost Benefit Ratio (CBR) method. In this paper proposed FMECA models in determining the critical components of Navigation Radar. Failure Mode Effect and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) is used as a methodology to identify and analyze all potential failure modes of various parts of the system, the effects of the failure of the system, how to avoid failure and to reduce the impact of failure on the system. Based on the model is obtained Risk Priority Number (RPN) that is used as a reference value in determining the critical components. RPN value of each component is analyzed by Risk Matrix, from 27 (twenty-seven) components that have been identified, There are obtained seven (7) components that are considered critical: Modulator, Power Supply Scanner, Diodes Limiter, Magnetron, Receiver, Motor, and Circulator. The modulator has the highest RPN value, 24180 and Plotter Control Circuit has the lowest RPN value, 3289. Determining the time interval replacement of critical components that have been obtained using the approach Reliability and Cost Benefit Ratio (CBR). Results indicate that the component replacement Diode Limiter has the fastest time, 152 days. While the replacement of components with the longest time are Motor and Circulator, 458 days. CBR value for all of the critical components are less than 1 (CBR <1), it shows the recommendation of replacement cost was efficient. Diode Limiter has CBR value that is the most efficient, namely 0.57572. From sensitivity analysis is obtained that Reliability R(t) variable greatly affects the determination of the change in the time interval replacement of critical components, in which there are parameter β (slope), Ƴ parameter (location), and the parameter Ƞ (scale). Parameter β more influence on changes in the value of Reliability R(t).
