a Teacher and candidate from the Department of Computer Sciences Assistant Lecturer Nada Najil Kamal received the highest score among the participants in the training course on networking. This course was held by Aswar Academy for Training and Development for the period from mid-July to August 10, 2019. The course included theoretical and practical lessons that included the following concepts Networking Fundamentals, Network Design Principles and Cybersecurity Principles.

The Department of Computer Sciences hosted the meeting of the Deans' Committee on Monday 19/8/2019 at the Hall of the Department Council in the presence of the department's dean Dr. Hala Bahjat Abdel Wahab and the Deans who are members of the Committee, according to the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research's book number (TM / 5238) dated 04/08/2019, which entrusts the Deans' Committee with regard to the approval of some of the initial curricula of their colleges.

The meeting started with a welcoming speech by the Chairman of the Deans Committee. Dr. Talib Abdul Samad Obaid / Dean of the College of Computer Science and Information Technology / University of Basra welcomed the deans and the meeting dealt with the adoption of curriculums for computer colleges after matching them according to the Ministry's books and agenda and recommendations where proposed.

The student Hala Hassan Mahmoud obtained her Ph.D. degree from the Department of Computer Sciences / University of Technology for her thesis entitled (Universal Image Stego-analytic Techniques for Forensic Applications). The work presented in this thesis is to design a tool for blind image analysis using a deep educational tool called Neural Network (CNN). The frame consists of three main phases: pretreatment that uses the conversion of complex double-wavelet wavelengths with a number of level equal to 5 to give an important advantage and has the ability to emphasize edge detection and suppress detail information. This is an important step to reduce redundancy and data dimensions and finally reduce memory and calculation. The detection accuracy is 0.92857, 0.96875 and 0.98387 when a number of levels equal to 3,4 and 5 are specified respectively for HUGO and UNIWARD algorithms with a load of 0.1 bpp and 0.4 bpp and a lower resolution of 0.90769, 0.92897 and 0.96659 is given for the WOW load algorithm of 0.1 basis points and 0.4 basis points respectively. Level 5 gave the best score compared to other levels for all three algorithms. The second stage was the extraction of features created using the CNN set of five consecutive sets of CNN, and the Leaky Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) activation function gives the result and problem solving. The last stage was the classification using softmax classified to obtain the last two names are the cover and stego.

This was on Thursday 5/9/2019 at the discussions hall in the department and the discussion committee was composed of (Prof. Abdull Moneim Saleh Rahma and Dr. Iyad Rodhan Abbas) of the University of Technology / Department of Computer Sciences and Prof. Mahmoud Khalil Ibrahim (from Al-Nahrain University / College of Information Engineering), Prof. Qasim Mohammed Hussein of Tikrit University / College of Petroleum and Minerals Engineering and Dr. Alaa Abdul Hamid Abdul Latif from Baghdad University College of Education Ibn Al-Haytham / Department of Computer Science in the presence of the supervisor of the student (Dr. Hanaa Mohsen Ahmed).

Download Abstract

The Head of Computer Sciences Department Dr. Hala Bahgat Abdel Wahab Member of the Social Gender Committee in the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research for the University of Technology paticipated in the first meeting of the Social Gender Committee for the development of women leaders and the fight against violence against women. The meeting dealt with the identification of a gender perspective and the preparation of workshops and conferences for the psychological empowerment of women leaders in education and preparation for the etiquette course for the Ministry's members.

The meeting also discussed the establishment of a network of Iraqi women scientists in scientific disciplines and in cooperation with the French Embassy and the Secretariat of Baghdad and work at the level of universities to combat violence as well as the empowerment of women economically, politically and scientifically.

The Department of Computer Sciences witnessed extensive preparations for the examinations of the second trial of the preliminary study for the academic year 2018-2019, Monday 3/9/2019 and under the direct supervision of Head of the Department of Computer Sciences Dr. Hala Bahgat Abdel Wahab, by the preparation of classrooms and provide the requirements of the examination committees wishing our dear students all the success.
