This work is proposed within the context of a cultural heritage heritage project (CEPROQHA). The vision behind CEPROQHA is to design a complete management infrastructure dedicated to showcase and promote Qatar National heritage. The new and evolutionary digital technologies represent a new way to value and exhibit cultural heritage. The CEPROQHA Project has for a goal to design a complete cultural heritage management and preservation platform. This platform is the main middleware that connects all the stakeholders (museums, heritage institution, targeted audience, and tourism institutions). Content management systems or collection management systems (in the cultural heritage context) are software tools used to create, manage, curate, share, exhibit and preserve cultural heritage assets. These systems are frequently adapted to several use cases which makes them one of the pillars of the CEPROQHA project. A collection management system is more likely to be a web-based solution similar to a traditional content management system. Content management systems are web-based frameworks that gives the ability to multiple users with different permissions/access levels to create, edit, enrich and share information (“content”) to wider audience. CMSs are considered as distributed platforms that allow simulations access of multiple users at the same time. As an example of a CMS platform the web framework WordPress, Joomla, MediaWiki, etc. Basically, A web framework is called a CMS if at allows this set of functionalities: Create, Edit, Publish, and archive content. In the cultural heritage context, in addition to having the Content management systems functionalities, A collection management system add more specific tools to manipulate and document cultural assets.

The use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), more commonly known as drones, is rapidly expanding not only in military and airport airspace but can also be found in civil areas. That is due to the wide range of roles a drone can possess. For example, drones that are used for civilian purposes can range from surveillance, data collection and analysis, traffic monitoring, to more of a business and personal use such as videography and delivery services. However, the noticeable use of drones can also cause major security threats if they are used for malicious and harmful activities such as interfering with aviation, flying around prohibited territories to steal private data, or even worse where a bomb-carrying drone can threat someone’s life. Such activities raise the importance of having an anti-drone system to mitigate and prevent any damage caused by such drones. To counter un-authorized drones, there exist many solutions utilizing various approaches and technologies; however, they focus only on one or few stages of the process: detection, localization, tracking, and jamming. This project will propose a comprehensive design of a real-time anti-drone system that is capable of tracking the drone and automatically jamming it. Commercial drones use Radio Frequency (RF) signals to communicate with and receive commands from its remote controller; hence, a jamming signal can effectively be used to disable the communication resulting in the drone performing either an emergency landing or returning to its base. Our system will utilize a 360-degree camera for an omni-directional coverage and real-time tracking. Once a drone is tracked, the jamming device, mounted on a controllable and movable arm, will be directed at the drone to disrupt its malicious activity.

Mobile Crowdsourced Sensors (MCS) offer a viable alternative solution to collect real-time spatio-temporal data to enable tracking the location of transit vehicles without the need to deploy monitoring equipment such as vehicle networked sensors, loop detectors and road-side cameras. This project aims to design and build MCS-based solution to collect real-time spatio-temporal data using mobile phones of public transport passengers to enable accurate tracking of the location of transit vehicles such as buses. This will allow enhanced travel planning and transit service delivery. Additionally, the solution will enable commuters to share and access available WiFi services during their journey. WiFi services could be provided by passengers or by WiFi providers along the transport network. The optimal journey plan from point A to B should address both the journey preferences (e.g., maximum walking distance between stops and the maximum waiting time at connecting stations) and WiFi coverage requirements (e.g., maximum disconnection time). We will design and develop a Journey Planning mobile App to provide commuters the ability to plan a journey, get real time bus location, share spatiotemporal data and share and access available WiFi services. The mobile app will use a variety of backend services such as the Journey Planning Service and Vehicle Tracking Service. The MCS-based solution will also provide a variety of transit network analysis services such as reporting the crowdedness status of stations to enable better planning and scheduling of transport services.

Smart home systems achieved great popularity in the last decade as they increase comfort and quality of life. Due to the hardware improvement recently IoT have become a great tool to be used in homes. As such, smart devices are becoming part our daily lives. Many consumers use Internet-Of-Things devices without even realizing it. Each smart home device now come with their own mobile applications, or physical remote-control devices. Thus, the switch to smart home automation devices is now inevitable. To control these devices, companies such as Amazon and Google offer services such as Amazon echo and google assistant hubs which offer control over the smart devices mostly via voice commands. This project aims to introduce a gesture based remote control. The proposed system will eliminate the language barrier that is needed with these devices, and act as a universal smart home controller. The project will utilize the power of machine learning to recognize gestures. In addition, it will offer a high interoperability between Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices in its network. The proposed system consists of two parts, SMUG (smart management upon gesture) controller, and SMUG charging station.

Nowadays, security is everyone's concern especially when it comes to the operation technology (OT) network as OT's controlling critical industrial process. By interconnection of industrial network with the outside world, brings a huge risk of attacks or any sort of confidential information leakage which may lead to damages which are later not they won't be able to recover from. One of the solutions to minimize the attacks by alerting administrators is the intrusion detection system (IDS). IDS is an essential layer of protection for industrial organizations in order to detect flaws and abnormal behavior over network. In this project, we are going to design an anomaly-base IDS for the OT network which is going to detect any abnormal behavior.

Healthcare is an important pillar for the development of any country to achieve the welfare of its citizens and residents. Thus, governments are taking special care to improve the healthcare provided in their countries. One important aspect of healthcare is the continuous healthcare monitoring of individuals either in hospitals or at home. Healthcare monitoring speeds up the intervention of the caregivers at the right moment to save lives. IoT technology can play an important role in the process of continuous healthcare monitoring as the process of alarming caregivers when needed. In the proposed system, the individuals are equipped with wearable IoT nodes that are capable of capturing vital signs, processing them in real-time, then communicating with the alarming system to notify caregivers in case of abnormal situations. There is a plethora of vital signs that can be captured by the system. Some signs may need simple processing, such as heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), body temperature (BT), the estimate of the amount of oxygen in the blood (SpO2), etc. Signs that need more sophisticated processing can be equally captured, such as the electrocardiogram (ECG), electromyography (EMG), etc. The captured signs can be utilized in different ways. They can be stored on an IoT cloud for further processing to monitor the daily readings of the signs and how they change during a certain span of time as well as detecting anomalies in complex signs such as ECG and EMG. Moreover, the signs can be processed at the level of the IoT node to assess the case if the captured sign is out of range of normal values, which can, in turn, start an alarming process in case of abnormality. The alarming process can be in the form of an automatic voice call, SMS message, email message, social network notification, etc. Furthermore, healthcare monitoring can be extended to fall detection of unattended individuals, such as elder people and children. Techniques of fall detection can use motion and orientation sensors, such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, etc., or the detection can be image-based by detecting the different postures of the individual using real-time image processing techniques. Moreover, the healthcare monitoring system can be extended to manage bed-sores for bed ridden patients, by sensing how much time was the patient in a certain position, and accordingly the system can decide to inflate or deflate an air mattress below the patient to reduce the possibility of bed-sores creation. This subsystem needs the integration of pressure sensors to detect the position of the patient and actuator that controls the operation of an air pump to inflate and deflate the mattress. The actuator should be able to work automatically or manually using wireless communication.

Diabetes is a serious, chronic condition that affects Millions of people around the world. According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), the condition is the seventh leading cause of death worldwide. While diabetes itself is manageable, its complications can severely impact the patients’ lives and can be fatal if not treated immediately. Those people who are diagnosed with this chronic disease face many health challenges because even though there are many treatments. For example, Insulin is injected when the sugar level is high and high sugar contained foods should be taken when the sugar level is low. People with diabetes these days are mostly using a sensor to keep track of their blood sugar. But if the patient is home alone and his/her sugar level is far from normal levels, they may not be able to call for help on time. To the best of our knowledge, there is good system that could efficiently be used in such a critical situation to alert the medical personnel. The objective of this senior design project is to build such a device (Diabetes Alert System) and make it available to those affected patients in Qatar. In making this system, we will need to make sure that it should be cheap, easy to use and save lives in many cases. We plan to build it from off-the-shelf hardware and software. The purpose is when a significant increase or decrease in the blood sugar is detected, an alert is sent to family members and/or nearby friends to provide immediate help to the patient. If none of family members and friends is available, the nearest emergency medical personnel will get the alert and will be able to help the patient in due time.

The system helps students by guiding them with their course registration and academic progress. Each student has their own RoadMap, which is updated every semester depending on their performance (GPA). Students will be guided on which courses they should register every semester and how much progress they have made through their academic years. This helps reduce the pressure on the academic advisors, since many students are not aware of the whole course registration process. The academic advising office is overcrowded during the add/drop week, many students do not get the chance to meet the advisors which might lead to graduation delay because of the unawareness.

When it comes to navigation, many of us immediately jump to the thoughts of using global positioning systems (GPS). While this works excellently for outdoor navigation, it can’t pinpoint someone’s location inside a multistory building. In order to obtain accurate data of the user’s location indoors, we need to implement alternative methods that can pinpoint where the user is inside the specific building as well as at what floor they are located. Luckily, many methods have already been used to provide such a service, and these methods are known as indoor positioning systems. The methods use specific algorithms (such as triangulating the device’s position) to give the user their near-exact position. The implementations of indoor positioning vary from Bluetooth beacons and Wi-fi to radio signals and Assisted GPS.

Companies are always looking forward to providing the highest security standards to protect their properties from security break-in or security breaches and property loss. Thus, many companies enforce some policies to manage to access some places or rooms, limiting access to those rooms to only authorized people. One of their policies can be the usage of a key (e.g. RFID card) that has User's info to access only the rooms he/she is authorized to enter. However, many of these systems lack the flexibility of use. In this context, our project aims to introduce a new way to authenticate and authorize the users to enter their authorized rooms with the use of two authentication factors through RFID and Capacitive touch buttons. The system can be configured to use one or both authentication factors. The system will offer more secure and more flexible access for the employees. Moreover, the proposed system provides central management and offers an admin dashboard for managing users and producing various types of reports.

Blood Donation System The system will provide various useful features for the blood doners and the hospital staff. The Blood Donor Unit at Hamad Medical Corporation does not have an online donation system. This proposed system communicates with the center and people to ease the process of blood donation with additional benefits. This project is an idea to solve a current problem in Qatar. The Blood Donor Unit at Hamad Medical Corporation does not have an online donation system. This system communicates with the center and people to ease the process of blood donation with additional benefits.The idea of donating blood through a website may not be very common, however, it is doable and possible. Blood donation is critical especially in an emergency situation. In case of emergency, instead of using the traditional process of donating blood by heading to a hospital which requires registration and documentations. This proposed system will take care of this process by providing more efficient and speed as it is done through the website. Several benefits accompany this system such as it is easier to search for donors, specific blood types, tracking amount of blood donated, recording real-time inventory of blood bank and many other information regarding the donor. Donors have the option to express their interests in donating blood voluntarily through this web site. The hospitals can also easily communicate with potential donors to organize the blood extraction process. The system will ultimately provide a systematic blood donation process and a better management of doners. This proposed system is expected to raise the people's awareness in the society to donate blood for people who need it because it costs nothing and make the donor feel great afterwards.

Students at Qatar University have been suffering with the bus system and not knowing how long it takes for a bus to arrive and always leads them to being late to class. With this driverless bus and the system created around it, will lead to a solution a student is looking for. It will allow students to determine the time for the bus to arrive and time it will take to reach their destination. By building the driverless car that will be guided by a blue road similar to the one done at Souq Waqif with a GPS tracker that will help establish its location and time it will take for its arrival. Many sensors will be required into building the bus such as ultrasonic sensor which allows to detect if any obstacles are on the way in our case if any student wants to cross the street. Another sensor we will be using is the RGB sensor which will help detect the blue road and stay in lane in order to reach its destination. Lidar sensor will also be needed which is important to collect data of any objects being on the way using laser technology. A small-scale model design will be implemented to demonstrate how the bus system will work.
