Preface

This book includes Volume I of the proceedings of the 2006 International Conference on Systems,
Computing Sciences and Software Engineering (SCSS). SCSS is part of the International Joint Conferences
on Computer, Information, and Systems Sciences, and Engineering (CISSE 06). The proceedings are a set
of rigorously reviewed world-class manuscripts presenting the state of international practice in Advances
and Innovations in Systems, Computing Sciences and Software Engineering.
SCSS 06 was a high-caliber research conference that was conducted online. CISSE 06 received 690 paper
submissions and the final program included 370 accepted papers from more than 70 countries, representing
the six continents. Each paper received at least two reviews, and authors were required to address review
comments prior to presentation and publication.
Conducting SCSS 06 online presented a number of unique advantages, as follows:
• All communications between the authors, reviewers, and conference organizing committee were done
on line, which permitted a short six week period from the paper submission deadline to the beginning
of the conference.
• PowerPoint presentations, final paper manuscripts were available to registrants for three weeks prior
to the start of the conference.
• The conference platform allowed live presentations by several presenters from different locations,
with the audio and PowerPoint transmitted to attendees throughout the internet, even on dial up
connections. Attendees were able to ask both audio and written questions in a chat room format, and
presenters could mark up their slides as they deem fit.
• The live audio presentations were also recorded and distributed to participants along with the power
points presentations and paper manuscripts within the conference DVD.
The conference organizers are confident that you will find the papers included in this volume interesting
and useful.

The 2006 International Conference on Systems, Computing Sciences and Software Engineering (SCSS)
and the resulting proceedings could not have been organized without the assistance of a large number of
individuals. SCSS is part of the International Joint Conferences on Computer, Information, and Systems
Sciences, and Engineering (CISSE). I had the opportunity to co-found CISSE in 2005, with Professor
Tarek Sobh, and we set up mechanisms that put it into action. Andrew Rosca wrote the software that
allowed conference management, and interaction between the authors and reviewers online. Mr. Tudor
Rosca managed the online conference presentation system and was instrumental in ensuring that the event
met the highest professional standards. I also want to acknowledge the roles played by Sarosh Patel and
Ms. Susan Kristie, our technical and administrative support team.
The technical co-sponsorship provided by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and
the University of Bridgeport is gratefully appreciated. I would like to express my thanks to Prof. Toshio
Fukuda, Chair of the International Advisory Committee and the members of the SCSS Technical Program
Committee, including: Abdelaziz AlMulhem, Alex A. Aravind, Ana M. Madureira, Mostafa Aref,
Mohamed Dekhil, Julius Dichter, Hamid Mcheick, Hani Hagras, Marian P. Kazmierkowski, Low K.S.,
Michael Lemmon, Rafa Al-Qutaish, Rodney G. Roberts, Sanjiv Rai, Samir Shah, Shivakumar Sastry,
Natalia Romalis, Mohammed Younis, Tommaso Mazza, and Srini Ramaswamy.
The excellent contributions of the authors made this world-class document possible. Each paper received
two to four reviews. The reviewers worked tirelessly under a tight schedule and their important work is
gratefully appreciated. In particular, I want to acknowledge the contributions of the following individuals:
Yongsuk Cho, Michael Lemmon, Rafa Al-Qutaish, Yaser M. A. Khalifa, Mohamed Dekhil, Babar Nazir,
Khaled Hayatleh, Mounir Bousbia-Salah, Rozlina Mohamed, A. Sima Etner-Uyar, Hussein Abbass, Ahmad
