Two lecturers from our department (Asst. Lect. Rasha Ismail and Asst. Lect.. Rasha Muhammad) participated in the first scientific conference held at Al-Mustansiriya University / College of Education / Computer Science Department. on Thursday 19/12/2019 with a paper about data security specialization on their research titled (Improvement the Security of the Key Exchange Protocol Using Random Image Generation). The research covered how image processing can be used to improve key exchange security for cryptographic purposes.

The student (Zainab Fadel Yassin) obtained her master’s degree from the Computer Science Department / University of Technology for her thesis titled (A Proposed Technique to Remove, Hide, and Restore Selected Object in a Video Sequence) In this proposal, the sub-transmission system will determine the object required to track it in the video through a tracking process Object, remove the requested object from the video, and encode it with Vernam's encryption algorithm to provide security, and effectively complete the removal object background using one of three suggested completion techniques. The proposed completion technique is suitable for all states of object and camera movement (static or dynamic), and to hide them in the video itself by hiding the proposed object based on MSUSAN technology. While the proposed sub-receiving system extracts the hidden object from the video by the proposed MSUSAN extraction technology, decoding it with Vernam encryption algorithm and recovering it in the same location before removal by the proposed object recovery technology. The results of the proposed system were tested and compared to evaluate their performance using PSNR and MSE and implementation time.

That was on Monday, December 16, 2019, at the discussion hall in the department. the discussion committee composed of (Dr. Nidaa Falih Hassan and Dr. Yousra Hussein Ali) from the University of Technology / Computer Science Department and (Dr. Methaq Talib Kate'a) from Al-Mustansiriya University / College of Science / Computer Science Department in the presence of the student's supervisor (Dr. Abdul Amir Abdullah Karim).

Prof. Dr. Hala Bahjat Abdel Wahab, former head of the department, received a letter of thanks and appreciation from the President of the University of Technology, Prof. Dr. Ahmed Mohamed Hassan Al-Ghabban, due to her distinguished efforts during her tenure as president of the department and through her active membership in the university council and for the end of the tasks of most members of the council and honoring her with the university shield and appraisers that she took the assigned responsibility, hoping from her to do more to improve the performance of the university in the service of our dear homeland.

A graduate student thesis discussion was held for the student Samir AbdulWahab Qadir from the Department of Computer Sciences / University of Technology for his thesis entitled (Personalized Social Friends Recommendation System based on User's Behavior). This thesis proposed a personalized friend recommendation system with two different models, namely dual-stage friend recommendation model and model-based friend recommendation model. The dual-stage model applies a methodology on unlabeled data of 1241 users. Such data are collected from OSN users via online survey platform featuring user interests and activities based upon which users, with similar social behavioral patterns, are recommended to each other. The model employs a variety of techniques, including User-Based Collaborative Filtering (UBCF) approach and graph-based approach friend-of-friend recommendation. The dual-stage model offers solutions to common problems of FRS such as data sparsity as well as providing seamless integration with other FRSs. The evaluation of the dual-stage model shows a positive correlation of Pearson Correlation Coefficient (PCC) compared to the baseline used... This was on Thursday, 14/11/2019 at the discussion hall in the department and the discussion committee was composed of (Prof. Dr. Ahme Tariq Sadiq and Assist Prof. Dr. Hasaneen Sameer Abdullah) from the University of Technology / Department of Computer Science and (Assist Prof. Dr. Khalid Shakir Jasim) from Al Anbar University / Department of Computer Science and in the presence of the student's supervisor (Assist Prof. Dr. Ayad Rawdhan Abbas).
