The Cognitive Computation and its Applications in Information Security
Prof. Dr. Eng. Sattar B. Sadkhan, SMIEEE
IT College, Babylon University, IRAQ
[email protected]
Abstract: Cognitive science is the interdisciplinary study of mind and intelligence, philosophy, psychology, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, education linguistics, and anthropology. The Cognitive neuroscience is an academic field concerned with the scientific study of the biological processes and aspects that underlie Cognition. with a specific focus on the neural connections in the brain which are involved in mental processes. It addresses the questions of how psychological/cognitive activities are affected or controlled by neural circuits in the brain.
The cognitive security is characterized by technology that is able to understand, reason and learn. A much greater scale of Key point relevant security data is now accessible with cognitive systems that can process and interpret the 80% of today’s data that’s unstructured, such as written and spoken language.

The Blockchain Technology as a New Trend: Abstracting, Usability, and Future Directions

Department of Computer Science, College of Science, University of Diyala, Iraq [email protected]
Abstract: Bitcoin paved the way for a highly successful FinTech (Financial Technology) application on the basis of a newer technology termed blockchain. Blockchain is one of the most disruptive and promising emerging technologies, and it appears to have the potential for significantly affecting the accounting and auditing fields. Essentially, blockchain is a freely open and publicly shared database that keeps track of transactions and protects data from tampering. Once a transaction is committed, it is practically irreversible and immutable unless the majority of the blockchain users collude. Blockchain technology provides a method to share a database among the participants even if they do not trust each other, and it creates a marketplace to transfer assets based on a peer-to-peer network without a central authority. Using cryptographic algorithms (e.g., digital signature and hash function), the blockchain protocol is able to guarantee data integrity, making it impossible to tamper with the transaction history. The aim of this workshop is to provide an overview of the Blockchain technology, the main advantages, disadvantages, application areas, and future directions.

Abstract: Since its inception, the blockchain technology has shown promising application prospects. From the initial cryptocurrency to the current smart contract, blockchain has been applied to many fields. Blockchain is one of the megatrends for the next years. Researchers and organizations are starting to understand the potential benefits of this technology and are exploring how it can disrupt the world we live in with a diverse range of applications. But the truth is the ability to move blockchain from concept to adoption and production has been minimal yet. In this workshop, we conduct a systematic study on the risks threats to blockchain and survey the corresponding real attack to popular blockchain systems. We also review the security enhancement solutions for blockchain, which could be used in the development of various blockchain systems, and suggest some future directions to stir research efforts into this area.

Abstract: Emotions are one of the important unconscious mechanisms that influence human behaviors, attentions, and decision-making. The emotion process helps to determine how humans perceive their internal status and needs in order to form consciousness of an individual. Emotions have been studied from multidisciplinary perspectives and covered a wide range of empirical and psychological topics, such as understanding the emotional processes, creating cognitive and computational models of emotions, and applications in computational intelligence. The aim of this talk will describe the effects of emotion ( of human) on taking a decision.
