Currently, the increase in home breaking usually occurs during school holidays and public holiday seasons. Therefore, to overcome the problem and the main objective is to design and develop a low-cost home security notification system using PIR sensor to detect movement of intruders, Raspberry Pi Camera, GPS module integrated with Raspberry Pi Zero WH to send an alert notification message with image, date, location, and time via Telegram Bot to the house owner’s and people nearby through a smart phone. The system utilizes the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) by implementing the waterfall model as the methodology. Three experiments were conducted to examine the effectiveness of the system which is sensor detection range, response time and user acceptance test (UAT). The finding indicates that the home security notification system was efficient, effective, low-cost, and easy to use...

From cafes to shopping areas, most of them offer users with a free-to-use WLAN which popularly known as Open Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi Hotspots. Although it is a convenient for them to access the Internet at these places, later they know it also makes them a vulnerable target for attackers that might be lurking in the same network they are connected. Therefore, a Hybrid IDS that combines both SNORT, a network-based IDS (NIDS) and OSSEC, a host-based IDS (HIDS) was developed to curb the problem. NIDS was used to monitor network traffics while HIDS monitor user’s system for any suspicious activities. Then, a system that can control and manage both IDS in the much easier and simpler way was developed using Python programming language. The system then can generate alerts with the help of both IDS to notify users for any suspicious activities that might occur in the network or user’s...

It also encourages people to think. Despite the rich content of the Holy Book, a lot Muslims do not understand what they read since it is revealed in Arabic, a language which is foreign to the majority. In Southeast Asian countries, the majority of Muslims speaks in Malay language and they do not really understand the words of Quran, which are in Arabic. Most of them read translations. Today, Quran readers may resort to application from the computers and smartphones to guide the reading and understanding of the teachings of the religion. Unfortunately, there are not many applications written in Malay language. Thus, it is significant to provide the Malay readers with a support tool to assist them understanding what they read based on the words from the Quranic index just by searching an index or topic. This paper presents the design of Quran index i...

It has been implemented on most of the application to detect the user current location. With the lack of use and awareness of this features, we took that opportunities to develop mobile app and collaborate with YS Auto Workshop. It will detect the customer current location when they request for car breakdown from YS Auto workshop. Notification will be sent to the manager of the workshop and can see the marker on user current location and take an action. Main objectives are to design and develop mobile app and to evaluate its usage using user acceptance test in improving the user needs. Agile methodology has been used based on requirement and it is suitable in the development of mobile application. The development of the system has use agile method which has fifth phases including planning, analysis, design, development, and testing. Three expert users involve during Functionality Testing meanwhi...

If this platform is fully utilized by farmers, it can improve the sustainability of farmers in agriculture industry because it can improve sales volume and fair price for farmers and consumers. However, the current AgroBazaar Online has a few enhancements that can be proposed to improve the acceptance from farmers and consumers. Therefore, there is a need to design the system that can encourage target users to use the system and make the system easy to be used by farmers who relatively have lower ICT literacy. The main requirement to develop intelligent marketing is data to provide intelligent information and services for both farmers and consumers. This project aims to explore data strategies to provide intelligent digital agricultural marketplace based on cloud data platform. This research proposes to develop cloud data platform for e-marketplace based cloud data platform ...

It needs an effective architecture for integration and interoperability between a one-stop e-government portal and related e-government services. However, due to heterogeneous e-government service platforms and bad e-government service organization, a one-stop e-government portal may fail to provide its main function effectively. This study proposes an architectural approach to improve integration and interoperability among one-stop e-government portal, e-government applications, and e-government services using a service component architecture. The evaluation shows that the proposed approach could be successfully implemented in a prototype of a one-stop e-government portal.

The major concern among Pre-Diploma students is their lack of English vocabulary despite years of learning the subject. Therefore, this has affected their confidence level whenever they are required to use English either in spoken or written communication. We investigate the effect of mobile games on learning targeted vocabulary for Pre-Diploma students. Moreover, this study also examines whether the interactive mobile games created can improve motivation to learn and foster a deeper processing of vocabulary especially in terms of idioms for young learners of English. Therefore, through the mobile game, students will be exposed to the benefits of technology development nowadays. Lecturers also can opt for a more interactive way of teaching vocabulary rather...

However, it is very common that the normal person does not know the SL. Thus, for assisting the hearing-impaired community to communicate in a world of spoken languages, there is a need to develop a translation tool to assist the communication between hearing-impaired community and normal persons. One of the translation tools available nowadays is Hearing Assistive Technology (HAT). HAT can dramatically improve the communication with hearing problem and increase the sustainability of social interaction in community. This paper presents an approach of HAT in the development of the sign language translation application for hearing-impaired communication by translating the SL gesture into a textual and audio form. This application integrates with a Microsoft Kinect Camera Sensor to detect the gesture of SL that is performed by the user who stands in front of the device. The...

Therefore developers need a guideline to help them to develop a secure Web application. Guideline can be used as a checklist for developer to achieve minimum standard of secure Web application. This study evaluates how good is OWASP guideline in helping developer to build secure Web application. The developed system is then tested using code auditing and penetration testing to identify the achievement of the system security for the application. After applying the testing techniques from Open Source Security Testing Methodology (OSSTMM) on the Top Ten Critical vulnerabilities as defined by OWASP, a standard measure score are calculated. The score is used to decide on the level of security of the developed web application. A high percentage score would indicate that the guideline helps in building a secured web application. Hence, the result proved that OWASP guideline is effective in ensuring the trustworthiness of the system and can be used as referral by other web developer especially in developing applications for a university.
