CSE Faculty Receives QU Research Excellence Award
Prof. Somaya Al-Maadeed has been granted the QU Research Excellence Award in Sciences & Engineering. The awards is were presented at the Qatar University Annual Research Forum & Exhibition 2021 by Dr. Hassan Al-Derham, the president of Qatar University.
The Research Excellence Award was established to publicly recognize, encourage, and promote the sustained research of QU faculty members and researchers that has significant impact on society, industry, and related disciplines, meeting the vision and mission of the University. The award in 2021 is granted to faculty members and researchers based on their research during the past 5 years, i.e., since January 2016 to present.
Congratulations Dr. Somaya!
A new patent received by CSE faculty
Inventors from Qatar University: Dr Armstrong Nhlabatsi, Eng. Rachael Fernandez, Eng. Alaa Hussein, Dr. Noora Fetais, and Dr Khaled Khan received a new patent titled: “Threat-Specific Security Risk Evaluation for Networked Systems”.
Existing security risk evaluation approaches do not consider specific security requirements of individual organizations in the security risk evaluation. This patent has defined a threat-specific risk evaluation approach that uses various security attributes of the cloud as well as the organization-specific security requirements. The patented approach allows a security administrator of the cloud provider to make fine-grained decisions for selecting mitigation strategies in order to protect the outsourced computing assets of individual organizations based on their specific security needs against specific threats. On the other hand, the proposed approach enables security administrators to compute a range of more effective organization-specific countermeasures with respect to the importance of security requirements and threats. The experimental evaluation results demonstrate that effective security solutions vary due to specific threats prioritized by different organizations for an application in the cloud. Further, the proposed approach is not limited to only the cloud-based systems, but can easily be adopted to other networked systems. We have also developed a software tool to support the proposed approach. This patented approach is an improved technique for monitoring the security of network. The team hopes this invention will make evaluation of network security risk more effective and robust.
Congratulations to the patent team!
Qatar Seeds for the Future 2021

CSE Faculty Participates in Facebook “Ethics in AI Research Initiative for the Asia Pacific” Roundtable
Dr. Junaid Qadir, Professor of Computer Engineering at our department participated in the “Facebook Ethics in AI Research Initiative for the Asia Pacific” Roundtable on 10th September, 2021, and presented an update on the “Culturally-informed pro-social AI regulation and persuasion framework” project. This project is funded by Facebook Research and focuses on studying the ethical issues related to Artificial Intelligence (AI) from an Islamic Perspective and explores culturally-sensitive human-centered AI for the Muslim World. The roundtable was attended by top AI experts and discussants included ethicists, technologists, researchers, and policy makers.
Dr. Junaid is currently teaching the course CMPE483 “Introduction to Robotics” at QU. The course provides a detailed overview of the robotic ecosystem and discusses basic concepts related to sensing, actuation, and robotic intelligence. The course also explores the ethics of using AI and intelligent robots and its socio-technical implications.

CSE PhD Student Wins the “Best Doctoral Proposal Award” at ICPLM 2021
Tahani Abu Musa, a PhD student at our department, supervised by Prof. Abdelaziz Bouras, has received the “IFIP WG5.1 Award of the Best Doctoral Proposal” during the IFIP 18th International Conference on Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) held on 11-14 July 2021, Curitiba, Brazil.
Tahani’s presented research plan titled “Anomaly Detection in Blockchain-enabled Supply Chain: A Deep Learning Approach” deals with the development of an anomaly detection framework, for detecting anomalous transactions in business processes. Her research work focuses on three objectives:
- Improve the accuracy of anomaly detection in the Supply Chain large volume of transactions, using a deep learning-based approach.
- Provide anomalies classification, to improve the Supply Chain business processes, by utilizing Ontology as a smart knowledge base.
- Enhance and secure the Supply Chain information system by incorporating Blockchains in the global network and building more reliable Smart Contracts.
