Dynamic analysis of application delivery network for leveraging software defined infrastructures
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2015 , Conference)Application Service Providers (ASPs) may obtain resources from a number of cloud service providers (CSPs) in an attempt to improve latency and minimize operational expenses (OpEx). The CSPs may use management and control ... -
Problem-based learning environments in Moodle: Implementation approches
( IEEE Computer Society , 2015 , Conference)Problem-based learning (PBL) educators resorted to developing their own environments even with existence of comprehensive Learning Management Systems (LMS). They realized that both commercial and open source systems were ... -
Towards pedagogy-driven learning design: A case study of problem-based learning design
( Springer Verlag , 2014 , Conference)Existing learning design languages are pedagogy-neutral. They provide insufficient support to explicitly represent pedagogy-specific approaches such as problem-based learning (PBL). As the first step towards pedagogy-driven ... -
An integrated development environment for the creation and delivery of m-Learning objects
( IEEE Computer Society , 2014 , Conference)We live in a new era where education is not anymore restricted to grouping individuals in a room and feeding them information. We also live in the same era where we deal with our handheld devices more than any other normal ... -
Multi-cloud distribution of virtual functions and dynamic service deployment: OpenADN perspective
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2015 , Conference)Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Service Chaining (SC) are novel service deployment approaches in the contemporary cloud environments for increased flexibility and cost efficiency to the Application Service Providers ... -
Open education resources and mobile technology to narrow the learning divide
( Athabasca University , 2013 , Article)As the world becomes more digitized, there will be an increasing need to make available learning resources in electronic format for access by information and communication technologies. The question education will face is ... -
A problem-oriented approach to represent and manage knowledge in PBL
( Asia-Pacific Society for Computers in Education , 2015 , Conference)In traditional subject-based learning knowledge is well-structured and prepared in advance by the teachers before transferring in the form of a lecture presentation. However, the knowledge learned in problem-based learning ... -
Using a PBL authoring tool to train teachers in designing an online PBL unit
( Asia-Pacific Society for Computers in Education , 2014 , Conference)Problem-based learning (PBL) is proposed as one of the most well-known alternatives to subject-based learning in educating graduates to become independent workers, critical thinkers, problem solvers, lifelong learners, and ... -
A flexible system and data model for the representation and management of PBL scripts
( Asia-Pacific Society for Computers in Education , 2014 , Conference)As problem-based learning (PBL) is becoming more and more popular, there is also a growing interest in developing and using technologies in the implementation of PBL. However, teachers may have difficulties to design a ... -
Towards a web-based adaptive problem-based learning application
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2015 , Conference)Problem-based learning (PBL) can be organized and conducted in a number of ways. Building a PBL application to support various PBL forms directly is difficult because the scope of variability cannot be completely known and ... -
A domain-specific modeling language approach to support various forms of online PBL
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2014 , Conference)Problem-based learning (PBL) can be organized and conducted in a variety of forms. By adopting a Domain-Specific Modeling Language (DSML) approach we have developed a PBL scripting language, which provides natural concepts ... -
Use of mobile learning apps in workplace learning
( IEEE Computer Society , 2013 , Article)Organizations are starting to use mobile learning to train workers and to provide professional development of workers so that they can function on the job. The training can be delivered using mobile apps which provides the ... -
Guidelines for design and implementation of mobile learning
( IGI Global , 2016 , Book chapter)As technology evolves, there is a shift towards the use of mobile technology to deliver education both on-campus in a blended format and online delivery. This shift is moving at a very fast pace which is a major challenge ... -
E-learning and mobile learning development in the state of Qatar

State of the Art Study on Aging of Asphalt Mixtures and Use of Antioxidant Additives
( Hindawi , 2018 , Article)The detrimental effects of hardening in asphalt pavements were first recognized by pioneering pavement engineers in the 1900s and have been studied extensively during the last 70 years. This hardening process, referred to ... -
Comprehensive evaluation of long-term aging of asphalt mixtures in hot climatic condition
( Taylor & Francis , 2018 , Article)Aging is an inevitable phenomenon in hot mix asphalt production and during in-service period of flexible pavement operation. This paper presents an experimental evaluation of long-term aging of asphalt mixtures in Qatar. ... -
Application of Tools of Quality Function Deployment and Modified Balanced Scorecard for Optimal Allocation of Pavement Management Resources
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE) , 2020 , Article)Pavement management is a set of tools used to evaluate and maintain pavements so that the pavements can be used safely and effectively over a certain period. Many traditional methods were and are still being used by entities ... -
A framework for the analysis of damage and recovery characteristics of asphalt mixtures
( Taylor & Francis , 2020 , Article)This study presents two approaches for evaluating damage and recovery characteristics of asphalt mixtures. The first approach focuses on determining damage by extracting recoverable viscoelastic strain that has no damage ... -
