Parthiban, National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, India Chapter I, Hybrid Arti.cial Intelligence Heuristics and Clustering Algorithm for Combinatorial Asym- metric Traveling Salesman Problem, develops a set of meta-heuristics genetic algorithms (GA), simu- lated annealing (SA) and hybrid GA-SA to solve a variant of combinatorial optimization problem called asymmetric traveling salesman problem. The set of met heuristics is compared with clustering based heuristic and the results are encouraging. Chapter II An Enhanced Text-Classification-Based Arabic Information Retrieval System ................................. 37 Sameh Ghwanmeh, Yarmouk University, Jordan Ghassan Kanaan, The Arab Academy for Banking and Financial Sciences, Jordan Riyad Al-Shalabi, The Arab Academy for Banking and Financial Sciences, Jordan Ahmad Ababneh, The Arab Academy for Banking and Financial Sciences, Jordan Chapter II, An Enhanced Text-Classification-Based Arabic Information Retrieval System, presents enhanced, effective and simple approach to text classification. The approach uses an algorithm to auto- matically classifying documents. The effects of the Arabic text classification on Information Retrieval have been investigated. Chapter III Landmark-Based Shape Context for Recognition of Handwritten Digits ............................................45 Shyamanta M. Hazarika, Tezpur University, India Chapter III, Landmark-Based Shape Context for Recognition of Handwritten Digits, introduces a new handwriting methodology based on landmark shapes. The primary contribution is a robust and simple algorithm for finding correspondence between handwritten digits using a variant of shapes. In this chapter, an approach to recognizing handwritten digits based on shape similarity computed through landmark-based shape context is presented. Shape context based object recognition being an iterative process; the reduction in the number of sample points provides a basis for faster recognition. Chapter IV Enhanced Information Retrieval Evaluation between Pseudo Relevance Feedback and Query Similarity Relevant Documents Methodology Applied on Arabic Text .............................56 Sameh Ghwanmeh, Yarmouk University, Jordan Ghassan Kanaan, The Arab Academy for Banking and Financial Sciences, Jordan Riyad Al-Shalabi, The Arab Academy for Banking and Financial Sciences, Jordan Chapter IV, Enhanced Information Retrieval Evaluation between Pseudo Relevance Feedback and Query Similarity Relevant Documents Methodology Applied on Arabic Text, introduces an enhanced informa- tion retrieval evaluation between pseudo relevance feedback and query similarity relevant documents methodology applied on Arabic text. The new method uses global feedback information for query expansion in contrast to local feedback information. Chapter V New Technique to Detect CNP Fraudulent Transactions ......................................................................67 Adnan M. Al-Khatib, Yarmouk University, Jordan Ezz Hattab, The Arab Academy for Banking and Financial Sciences, Jordan Chapter V, New Technique to Detect CNP Fraudulent Transactions, presents comprehensive frameworks that mines and detect fraudulent transactions of Card-Not-Present (CNP) in the e-payment systems with a high degree of accuracy. The motivation for a comprehensive framework is that money in the e-com- merce network is really bits and bytes. Which in turn, make digital crime within banking and financial systems happen very fast and may cost billions of dollars each year-undetected and unreported. Chapter VI Key Topics in the Ethics and Economics of Cyber Security ................................................................78 Sattar J. Aboud, Middle East University for Graduate Studies, Jordan-Amman Chapter VI, Key Topics in the Ethics and Economics of Cyber Security, studies key topics in a nascent literature on a cyber security. The chapters first concentrate on how inducements influence the major topics in information security. Three significant topics pertinent for a cyber security concerns are: an exterior security, the internet consequence and information sharing which make effect in the information security. The budding literature has started to study the relationships between vulnerability revelation, patching, manufactured goods prices and profits. Chapter VII Using Maturity Model to Govern Information Technology ..................................................................90 Asim El-Sheikh, The Arab Academy for Banking and Financial Sciences, Jordan Husam A. Abu Khadra, The Arab Academy for Banking and Financial Sciences, Jordan Chapter VII, Using Maturity Model to Govern Information Technology , introduces the COBiTs’ maturity model as a mean of studying the information technology (IT) governance and its affect on the perceived security threats. It argues that IT governance using the maturity model offers a probable influence on the level of security breaches frequency; such evidence would be extracted through a complex quantitative and qualitative approach, offers a better understanding of intricate relationships between different fac- tors. Moreover, the authors aimed at understanding the influence of using the maturity model will not only inform the researchers of a better design for IT governance and defining implementation pitfalls, but also assist in the understanding of IT governance practices trend in the Jordanian environment. Chapter VIII The Critical Success Factors of Web-Based Supply Chain Collaboration Adoption: An Empirical Study .............................................................................................................................110 Saad Ghaleb Yaseen, Al-Zaytoonh University of Jordan, Jordan Khaled Saleh Al Omoush, Al-Zaytoonh University of Jordan, Jordan Chapter VIII, The Critical Success Factors of Web-Based Supply Chain Collaboration Adoption: An Empirical Study, identify the critical success factors (CSFs) and outcomes of Web-based supply chain collaboration (SCC). The study is conducted on seven manufacturing firms in Jordan that use Web systems to collaborate with supply chain members. The results showed that top management support, IT infrastructure, training and education, business processes reengineering, trust among partners, open information sharing, and performance measurement are critical factors for Web-based SCC implementa- tion success. In addition, this study revealed that Web-based SCC implementation is positively related to supply chain relationship quality, performance effectiveness, and performance efficiency. Chapter IX Web Engineering in Small Jordanian Web Development Firms: An XP Based Process Model.........130 Haroon Altarawneh, Albalqa’ Applied University, Jordan Asim El-Sheikh, The Arab Academy for Banking and Financial Sciences, Jordan Chapter IX, Web Engineering in Small Jordanian Web Development Firms: An XP Based Process Model, proposes a theoretical model for small Web project development and its special features in the con- text small Web firms, which are capable of being ‘tailor able’ to the particular stage of organizational development of small Web firms.
