Every student of Computer Science will encounter certain very important and fundamental data structures and algorithms. Many of those structures are relatively simple to understand conceptually, but exceedingly difficult to analyze, especially when average behavior is taken into account. Therefore, if students are to choose the best algorithm for a problem or optimize the parameters of an algor...

Developing university schedules that could take into account factors such as faculties’ preferences to courses, timeslots, and classrooms, in a timely fashion while being unbiased and meeting university requirements, is a hurdle in many universities around the world.This paper exploits the use of threestage integer goal programming (IGP) technique to solve the university scheduling problem, as ...

Open-ended or closed-ended case study design schemes offer different educational advantages. Anatomy and physiology faculty members who participated in a conference workshop were given an identical case about blood doping and asked to build either an open-ended study or a closed-ended study. The workshop participants created a rich array of case questions. Participant-written learning objective...

Formally established on 26 August 1941, its intellectual inspiration came from the thoughts of Mawlana Sayyid Abul A’la Mawdudi, who, along with Dr. Muhammad Iqbal, set the pace for contemporary Muslim thinking in the Indo-Pakistan sub-continent. With the establishment of Pakistan on the 14th August, 1947, the Jama‘at was also reorganized in the form of two independent organizations – the Jama‘...

1. Reasons for the Workshop The testing of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) products is expensive and time consuming. Hence there is a great desire on the part of the suppliers of such products to have their products tested only once. At the same time, clients are seeking assurances that newly acquired OSI products will interwork with their existing systems. These two points of view cannot cu...
