Engineer Muhammad Abdullah from the Computer Science Department obtained a participation certificate from the researchers and academics platform (IFAD) for his participation in the lecture titled “Features of the New World and Artificial Intelligence Technology in Light of the Challenges of the Age and the Coronavirus Pandemic” held via the electronic platform zoom on 8/15/2020 in cooperation with the Forum Sustainable Development (Swedish-Iraqi Network) Lund University. In the same context, Eng. Mohammed Abdullah obtained a certificate of attendance and participation in the lecture tagged (Introduction to Linux) from King Abdulaziz University / College of Computers and Information Technology on 7/12/2020 that includes introducing the Linux system, its importance and its applications. The engineer also obtained a certificate of attendance and participation from the American International Academy of Higher Education and Training (the American Institute for Biological, Engineering and Nanotechnology Studies) for attending the workshop activities for the period (15-18 September 2020).

The Director of the Department of Scientific Affairs and Cultural Relations at the University of Technology, Assistant Professor Dr. Alaa Abdel-Hadi Gabr appreciated the great efforts of the Computer Science Department in preparing the annual report of the work carried out in the Scientific Affairs and Cultural Relations Division for the period from (1/9/2019) to (1/8/2020) Wishing everyone success in their scientific career in the service of our generous university.

The Department of Computer Science awarded a doctoral degree to the student (Suhaila Najm Muhammad) in Computer Science / General for the thesis tagged "A multimodal emotion recognition system for the interaction between man and robot." Multimodal Emotion Recognition System For Human Robot Interaction
On Monday, 9/7/2020, in the discussion room in the Computer Science Department building.
The discussion committee consisted of:
Prof. Abbas Mohsen Abdel-Hussein as Chairman
Prof. Dr. Muthel Emad El Din Abdel Moneim, member
Dr. Yusra Hussein Ali, member
Dr. Abeer Salem Al-Bir, member
Prof. Dr. Alia Karim Abdel Hassan, member and supervisor
There are many channels of verbal and non-verbal information that can be used to convey the emotional state to the robot, such as facial expressions, voice, spoken words, body gestures, and vital signs. In this thesis an automatic multimedia system for emotion recognition for HRI purposes is presented based on the visual and audio information extracted from facial expressions. Speech signal. Five main images were selected to work in the visual data and a new method for identifying facial emotions was proposed, based on graphic mining, which is a paradigm shift in the way the facial area is represented. In this thesis, a simple robot head was designed for interactive purpose.

The Department of Computer Science granted a master's degree to the student Ansam Sabah Badr in Computer Science / Information Systems for her message tagged "Establishing a secure system for e-learning for one of the Department of Computer Science's laboratories based on the RSA and ZNP algorithm." Secure E-Learning Platform For Selected Computer Laboratory Based on RSA and ZNP
On Monday 08/10/2020 and in the discussion room in the building of the Computer Science Department, the discussion committee consisted of:
Dr. Abeer Tariq Mawloud as Chairman
Prof. Israa Abdel-Amir Abdel-Jabbar, member
The charter of the student as a member
Prof. Shaima Hamid Shaker, member and supervisor
Prof. Maysa Abd Ali, member and supervisor
This message aimed to propose an e-learning system to make the user's login password confidential, as well as authentication using the RSA-OAEP algorithm and proof of zero knowledge. The system consists of three main parts, the first part is the design and implementation of a learning platform, the second part focuses on improving the security of the system, and the third part is the password authentication and user login. The proposed system was evaluated through statistical tests that were used.
