OntoSoS.QM.Gov: A quality governance framework for systems of systems (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Qaddoumi, E., Odeh, M., Khan, Z., Kossmann, M., Traish, I., & Tbakhi, A. (2017, December). OntoSoS.QM.Gov: A quality governance framework for systems of systems. Paper presented at Complex systems design and management conference, Paris, France

Many organisations develop Systems of systems (SoS) to accomplish their business objectives. SoS deliver new capabilities by enabling cooperation between existing constituent monolithic systems. However, domain and process heterogeneities and varying... Read More about OntoSoS.QM.Gov: A quality governance framework for systems of systems.

VeidBlock: Verifiable identity using blockchain and ledger in a software defined network (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Abbasi, A. G., & Khan, Z. (2017, December). VeidBlock: Verifiable identity using blockchain and ledger in a software defined network. Paper presented at Smart City Clouds: Technologies, Systems and Applications (SCCTSA) co-located with 10th IEEE/ACM Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC), Austin, Texas

Blockchain and verifiable identities have a lot of potential in future distributed software applications e.g. smart cities. In this paper, we proposed a novel technique, namely VeidBlock, to generate verifiable identities by following a reliable auth...

A network-based approach to capture provenance of a policy-making process (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Javed, B., Khan, Z., & McClatchey, R. (2017, July). A network-based approach to capture provenance of a policy-making process. Paper presented at Proceedings of the 21st International Database Engineering & Applications Symposium on - IDEAS 2017., UWE, Bristol, UK

A policy-making process entails large sources of data for its creation, the tracking of which can provide a significant insight into a process and data that was being employed for its creation. However, a process employed for creating policies varies... Read More about A network-based approach to capture provenance of a policy-making process.

Using a model-driven approach in building a provenance framework for tracking policy-making processes in Smart Cities (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Javed, B., Khan, Z., & McClatchey, R. (2017, July). Using a model-driven approach in building a provenance framework for tracking policy-making processes in Smart Cities. Paper presented at Proceedings of the 21st International Database Engineering & Applications Symposium on - IDEAS 2017, University of the West of England, Bristol, UK

The significance of provenance in various settings has emphasized its potential in the policy-making process for analytics in Smart Cities. At present, there exists no framework that can capture the provenance in a policy-making setting. This researc...

ELCMM: An e-learning capability maturity model (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Hammad, R., Odeh, M., & Khan, Z. (2017, April). ELCMM: An e-learning capability maturity model. Paper presented at The 15th International Conference on e-Society, Budapest

The widespread applications of e-learning or technology-enhanced learning in academic institutions have led to a huge escalation in the development of e-learning evaluation models. Such models are focused on the assessment of e-learning systems at th... Read More about ELCMM: An e-learning capability maturity model.
