Project 3

Project Title Linking UML and VDM++ For Developing Library

Management System

Proposed By: Dr. Nazir Ahmad Zafar

Brief Description

The objective of the project is to identify a relationship and

to link Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Vienna

Development Method (VDM++). Although UML as well as

VDM++ support object oriented development, however,

both have their limitations. For example, UML is based on

graphical models and is prone to causing errors. The unseen

semantics under the UML diagrams causes ambiguities and

inconsistencies in the models at design level. VDM++ being

formal language is based on mathematical structures and

difficult to apply at initial phases of software development.

Therefore, it will be interesting to link both approaches to

support a complete systematic software development

process. Library Management System will be taken as a case

study to make practice of this integrated approach.

Expected Learning

Outcomes

The students will be able to

Understand and analyze modeling power of UML

and VDM++ to develop meaningful models

Apply specialized mechanisms to explore and

capture the core functional concepts

To provide a formal basis for developing any

system

To integrate best practices in terms of linking

popular object oriented techniques

Apply integrated approaches by taking a simple case

study, that is, Library Management System

Project 4

Project Title Developing Finite-State-Based Vending Machine

Proposed By: Dr. Nazir Ahmad Zafar

Brief Description

System specification and design have become important activities in

software engineering. The design of complex and automated systems

requires techniques for specification, capturing functionalities and

control behaviors. Unified Modeling Language (UML) has become de-

facto standard for design of object oriented systems. Automata are

abstract models of machines which can be represented using diagrams.

Automata theory has emerged with several modern applications in

software engineering, for example, optimization of logic based

programs, specification and verification of protocols. Automata theory

is ideal one for modeling control behavior in terms of diagrams and

mathematical relationships among system functionalities. Graph-based

formalisms (automata) have been predominant in systems development

and can be effectively verified by various model checkers. The

objective of the project is make practice of software engineering

approaches, UML, graphs, algorithms and automata theory, to model

and develop vending machine.

Expected Learning

Outcomes

The students will be able to

Make practice of UML, automata and software engineering in

modeling of automated systems

Design vending machine using UML diagrams

Automate and optimize the machine by application of automata

theory

Transform the automated model to mathematical model,

procedures and algorithms

Implement the machine based on above models by any of the

object oriented language

Expected Project

Project 5

Project Title

Digital Mother Child Health Handbook (MCHH)

Proposed By: Dr. Hafiz Farooq Ahmad

Brief Description

Wellbeing and care of a mother during pregnancy is vital for a healthy

child birth. Necessary guidelines and information handbooks for

expecting mothers and families have been prepared for awareness and

tracking health progress of mother and the baby. Japan took such an

initiative in 1947 to develop Maternal and Child Health Handbook

(MCHH). The outcome of the initiative was a drastic decrease in Infant

Mortality Rate (IMR) from 76.0 deaths per 1000 live births in 1947 to 2.6

in 2007. From 1947 to 2007, IMR decreased by 50% annually and

currently it is well below the Millennium Development Goal (MDG)

target set by the UN for 2015. In this project, we propose to develop

general system architecture of Digital Maternal and Child Health

Information System that would also be localized according to any specific

requirements of Saudi Arabia. The proposed system may be used to

maintain health record of mothers and babies from conception to delivery.

Such a system can help improve the quality of healthcare for mothers and

babies in Saudi Arabia. The requirements will be based on various

sources including Japan Maternal and Child Heath Handbook and

Common Requirements for Maternal Health Information Systems

proposed by Program for Appropriate Technology in Health (PATH). The

proposed system may be decomposed into sub-systems such as pregnancy

medical record, child health information, information and awareness and

decision support systems. A prototype system encompassing some of the

key features would also be developed.

Project # 6

Project Title Tibbe Nabvi Health App

Proposed By: Dr. Hafiz Farooq Ahmad

Brief Description

Healthcare and wellbeing of an individual is the most important aspect of

human life since ancient times. Nature has created herbs with medicinal

properties to keep human being healthy. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has

described these facts at a number of occasions. More than 800 years ago,

researchers, such as Ibne Al Qayyim, compiled the sayings of the prophet

about herbal used for medicine and this practice is still continued. Use of

herbs for curing illness has been used all over the world since prehistory

times and there has been strong interest recently to use herbs. As per

WHO, herbal medicine had prominent role to contain and treat severe

acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in China [1]. Eighty per cent of

African populations use some form of traditional herbal medicine. The

worldwide annual market for these products approaches US$ 60

billion. Many hope traditional herbal medicine research will play a critical

role in global health. China, India, Nigeria, the United States of America

(USA) and WHO have all made substantial research investments in

traditional herbal medicines.

Though the project aims to create general awareness among masses about

the herbal medicine but in particular this project focuses on the sayings of

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the research carried out by many

scholars on these aspects. This project will carry out requirement

elicitation and specification for an app namely “Tibbe Nabvi Health App”

in the first phase and implementation in the next phase. A vast literature

in the forms of papers and books are available but no application with

modern technology has been designed and implemented. A number of

challenges specially usability and requirements gathering will be

addressed in this project. Working prototype will be implemented in

phase II.

Brief Description

Animal wealth in Saudi Arabia is one of the important factor for economic and

social. Arabs like their animals and taking care of them. It is required to have a

system that enable the owner to identify his cattle/camel individually with cattle

ear tags. They can more easily determine which cattle is which. Ear Electronic

ID/RFID cattle tags are small “button-like” tags that are placed in the ear. Each

EID tag has a unique 15-digit number printed on it, and the number can also be

read by scanning the tag with an EID reader. These tags are designed to last for

the life of the animal.

It is required to have a database of animal that enable the owners to follow

cattle’s health, production, and movement in the farm.

When doctor visit the cattle, we should provide him a tablet that he can read the

cattle tag and then add any information to its health record. Moreover, the milk

production of the cattle should be stored into the database to track its production.

Access control via automatic car plate recognition

Proposed By:

Dr. Abdenour Bounsiar

Brief Description

The objective of this project is to introduce the students to

image processing techniques through a common and very

useful application which is automatic car plate recognition. The

students will have to design a system for access control through

the recognition of car plate characters from camera images.

Although a real system will require the use of a real camera to

capture car plate images in real time and then control a real

access gate, this project will only focus on the image

processing side for previously captured car images. The

students will have to perform necessary pre-processing

treatment for car palate images like binarization and histogram

calculation. The students will then have to extract the car plate

region from the car images through some techniques, like

image segmentation and region detection, before proceeding to

characters recognition by using some technique of pattern

recognition. In addition, the students will propose a simulation

interface.

Project Title

Learning Tool for Kids

Proposed By: Dr. Abdul Raouf Khan

Brief Description

Some of the main areas of difficulties in learning are information

processing, communication skills, and memory. Generally, children

learn at different levels of age. It has been observed that if such

learning disabilities are known earlier, the weaknesses can be

overcome with special treatment. The treatment can be given at

different levels. At the beginning, different tests can be performed

to

determine weakness type and level. Then, exercises can be given

according to the test results. And further evaluation and

improvement can be suggested. This requires periodical visits to the

specialists which is difficult for some people or certain areas of

cities and town.in addition it needs time management and

availability of specialist. We propose to develop an application that

may help parents to treat their children at their homes. In fact it may

be used for all children and help them develop their learning skills.

Expected Outcomes

The system will be used by the parents and children. The parents

will determine the learning difficulties of their child and

Panoramic View Generation of Khana Kaba

Proposed By:

Dr. Muhammad Bilal Ahmad

Brief Description

Creation of Panoramic view from 2D images of important places helps users

to see and visualize the places from their computer very similarly as they

were actually standing at some point in the place and see around. In this

project, students will first start to create Panoramic view of King Faisal

University and then apply the same algorithm for Khana Kaba.

Panoramic view is generated by the technique of stitching spatially closed

images of a scene. Seamless stitching of images requires sophisticated

algorithms. The process of stitching images one by one is continued till we

are able to get the whole (360 degree) panoramic view of the scene. After

creating the panoramic view, VRML (Virtual Reality Markup Language) or

any other language is used to display the 3D view of the scene. This project is

a very interesting as this will help us to preserve 3D views of important

archeological sites.

Project # 26

Project Title

Smart System to Assist Citizens

Proposed By:

Noor Zaman

Brief Description

In health related emergencies, the needs of blood has been found to be the

most demanding entity. In Saudi Arabia we have a lot of people who wish

to donate. But at times we are suffering from lack of blood in blood banks,

the reason being there is no connection between the blood banks and the

donors.

In this technological era, the blood donation problems have been handled

by different tools like the announcement using the SMS or a social website.

Some non-commercial websites have been created such as "freeblood" and

"UAEdonors". There are systems (websites and applications) around the

world that present some solution to the problem we are addressing, but

most of them are similar and have disadvantages. The main drawback in the

existing systems that we have studied so far is it contains static information

in the database, which needs hard work to update (Lack of a dynamic

solution). The location of donors and response time need to be determined

and to be update fast as soon as possible.

As depicted in figure 1, our system is aimed at enhancing the Smartphone

technology to replace the old donors' lists and all the old paper work with

easy system that can find the donors based on some data and criteria. So

Hospitals and the people who need blood can find them easily by their

nearest location, available time, and same blood type. Our system at in its

final version will be able to facilitate the search process for needy people

and make it easier than before. Increase number of donors by increasing the

facilities provided to them and Increase the awareness of the society about

the importance of blood donation.

Web System:

Hospitals can find donors easily by their nearest location considering their

free times, blood type, and last donation time and send a notification

message to them. Hospitals can easily access and update donor's info, also

insert donors' blood tests.

Mobile App:

The system takes the user's location via GPS and updating their location

automatically or as the user's choice and it receives notifications from the

hospital. Also, the user can perform all the web operations by the mobile

app.

The final product of our research is an integrated system (combining

multiple technologies) to achieve the goals of the research. The system will

be able to facilitate the communication between the donors, hospitals, and

needy people, which will effect positively on the number of donors. In

addition, SBDS will be able to manage, hold, and process the donors' data

to mine and extract important information that is related to their tests and

health, which may save their lives in the future.


The students would be able,

To manage conducted projects resources at one platform.

To apply knowledge of computing, e.g. Java, Eclipse, SDK, data bases.

To create a prototype model, appropriate analysis and to develop ERP/

ERM models.

To learn and apply tools and techniques for development of projects.


1. It will provide assistance to community to report their problem

timely to the concern authorities.

2. Assist victims by providing timely and accurately solution.

3. Help authorities to reach the right solution timely.

Archives App for CCSIT

Proposed By:

Noor Zaman

Brief Description

In the absence any project archives system the selection and finalizing an

appropriate title for project proposal is always an issue, for students and

faculty members simultaneously at College of Computer Science and

Information Technology (CCSIT). An efficient project archives system

containing complete information for previously conducted projects and for

upcoming new project ideas is required at CCSIT. The proposed project

idea regarding Archives App for CCSIT will be an Android based app.

This will be available on Google play stores and can be freely available to

all students and faculty members at same time. This project will address

the existing issue of project archives of CCSIT for faculty members and

students. It will work in two folds, firstly by providing complete

information regarding previously successfully completed projects at CCSIT

to avoid the duplication in choosing topics; secondly at the same time it

will also facilitate faculty members to float new ideas besides of allowing

students to choose the idea for their projects. The proposed app will serve

CCSIT’s management, faculty members, quality office and students at the

same time by providing updated projects archives. Furthermore, this idea

can be extended by providing archives for co-op training students which

can assist students for previously completed ideas and by providing

companies information. Any students having programming skills related to

Java, eclipse and C can work on this idea.

Project # 29 Project Title

Jobs scheduling and resources management system

Proposed By:

Muneer Ahmad

Brief Description

This project aims at scheduling the jobs of people in a professional

organization along with resources management. Better Jobs scheduling

and efficient resources management plays a key role in the progress of

companies. Companies normally have a good number of employees that

have been assigned different tasks with defined time span. These tasks

are managed by managers who distribute the tasks to its team. A task has

normally high, medium and low priority with defined time frame and

certain restrictions (team members have access level to access and

submit the tasks). One employee in this group may have one or many

tasks and many employees may serve over one or many tasks. The

proposed job scheduler will be able to efficiently manage the employees

in groups/teams. Each group will be assigned tasks with timeline,

priority of task, access level to task and reward points that will determine

the contribution of employee towards successful completion of tasks.

The delayed or incomplete tasks will incur penalties to employees in

group. In addition, the group members will be given resources to utilize

and complete the tasks. The resources will be distributed to members

along with resource type and quantity. The proposed automated system

will also manage resources and will summarize the details of tasks and

resources to relevant manager at the end of group tasks.

The proposed system will have an admin that would be able to add /

delete / modify different managers (each manager is supposed to be

responsible for one department / section). Managers are the people who

would classify the employees based over their job nature / area of

interest. Admin would notify the jobs to managers and managers would

distribute the jobs to people in departments. One job could be divided

into a group of tasks defined by manager with task completion time

frame and priority of task. People in the department have to attend the

tasks based over priority and time frame. The outcomes of the tasks

would be submitted to manager. The system would keep track of a

scoring scheme assigned for task submission (e.g. early task completion,

in time completion, late completion). Admin, managers and people will

have a certain access level to the system. The resources being used to

complete these tasks would also be managed by the system.

Expected Learning

Outcomes

The students would be able to learn,

To schedule jobs based over their priorities and time frames in any

professional organization.

To manage resources in a large organization.

To apply knowledge of computing, e.g. algorithms, data structures

principles, data bases and programming languages.

To create a prototype model of business environment scalable to be used

for development of ERP/ ERM models.

Project Title

Automatic organization of confidential documents using

documents’ clustering based over security levels

Proposed By:

Muneer Ahmad

Brief Description

An open access to confidential documents is very important

and challenging issue. Most of the organizations in the world

intend to apply certain security levels over their confidential

documents to protect from unauthorized use. The proposed

system will employ data mining concepts to propose a new

clustering algorithm based over certain access levels assigned

to documents for automatic documents’ organization. The

important components of proposed system are: document’s

parsing, tagging, pattern matching and clustering. The

proposed concept could be generalized for clustering web

documents into meaningful categories retrieved against a

broad query using web browsers.

Expected Outcomes

Confidential documents could be classified based on their access

levels and students would be able to learn and compare clustering

approaches used for text data.
