Project 3

Project Ti tleLinking UML and VDM++ For Developing LibraryManagement System

Proposed By: Dr. Nazir Ahmad Zafar

Br ief Description

The objective of the project is to identify a relationship andto link Unified Modeling Language (UML) and ViennaDevelopment Method (VDM++). Although UML as well asVDM++ support object oriented development, however, both

have their limitations. For example, UML is based ongraphical models and is prone to causing errors. The unseensemantics under the UML diagrams causes ambiguities andinconsistencies in the models at design level. VDM++ beingformal 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 tosupport a complete systematic software development process.

Library Management System will be taken as a case study tomake practice of this integrated approach.


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 casestudy, that is, Library Management System

Project 4

Project Ti tle Developing Finite-State-Based Vending Machine

Proposed By: Dr. Nazir Ahmad Zafar

Br ief Description

System specification and design have become importantactivities in software engineering. The design of complex andautomated systems requires techniques for specification,

capturing functionalities and control behaviors. UnifiedModeling Language (UML) has become de-facto standard

for design of object oriented systems. Automata are abstractmodels of machines which can be represented usingdiagrams. 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 formodeling control behavior in terms of diagrams and

mathematical relationships among system functionalities.Graph-based formalisms (automata) have been predominantin systems development and can be effectively verified by

various model checkers. The objective of the project is makepractice of software engineering approaches, UML, graphs,

algorithms and automata theory, to model and developvending machine.


The students will be able to

Make practice of UML, automata and software

engineering in modeling of automated systems

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

child birth. Necessary guidelines and information handbooks forexpecting 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.

Proposed By: Dr. Hafiz Farooq Ahmad

Br ief Description

(it should be

Description shouldaddress researchmethodology,

researchapproaches, tools

and techniques tobe used)

Healthcare and wellbeing of an individual is the most important aspect ofhuman 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 ofchallenges specially usability and requirements gathering will be

addressed in this project. Working prototype will be implemented in

phase II.

The objective of this project is to introduce the studentsto 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 # 15

Project Ti tle Learning Tool for Kids

Proposed By: Dr. Abdul Raouf Khan

Br ief 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 timemanagement 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 accordingly the system will be able to provide treatment

to the child as per learning difficulty.

It is important to have automatic class attendancesystem in schools. Teachers are unable to calculate

timing of students in the class. Teachers can only mark

present, absent or late, but he does not keep the exact

timing of the students in the class. Students can also use

proxies. Using face detection algorithm of image

processing will help to make automatic attendance of

students and their total time in the class. Cameras will

be installed in the class rooms and they will be

connected to the remote system. Videos will be stored

and searched for the students presence in the class

according to the time-table of the classes. Students will

be detected using the face detection algorithm. A few

assumptions will be made to simplify the system so that

the system should be implemented and tested. The

system will also help the administration to monitor the

class timing and participations.

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 continuedtill 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 Ti tle Course Registration Academic Guidance System (CRAGS)

Proposed By: Mr.Marwan El-Haj

Br ief Description The process of Course Registration according toAcademic Guidance Basis is done by both Academic

Advisors and students,it is relatively a long process and

needs lot of preparation by the Academic Advisor ,

Sometimes the lake of information and unavailability of

the advisor in certain times considered to be a problem

that faces most of the students in having the appropriate

academic guidance.

CRAGS is a system that is intended to advise the

students for the courses to be registered for each new

semester, the system plays the role of the Academic

Advisor to provide help for the courses that a student

may register based on his academic record

Expected Outcomes A software that guide a students through

registration process

Project Ti tle Smart Blood Donation System

Br ief Description

the project. Description should

address research methodology,research approaches, tools and


In health related emergencies, the needs of bloodhas 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

Project # 29

Project Ti tle Jobs scheduling and resources

management systemProposed By: Muneer Ahmad

Br ief Description

(it should be elaborative andshould clearly define the scope of

the project. Description should


research approaches, tools andtechniques to be used)

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 toits 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


43/47

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 taskswould also be managed by the system.



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 # 30

Project Title Automatic organization of confidential documents usingdocuments 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: documents 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 OutcomesConfidential documents could be classified based on their

access levels and students would be able to learn and

compare clustering approaches used for text data.
