The second paper, "Ontology-Based CBR System on Religious Leadership", by A Martina Betsy, focuses on 'Leadership' aims at developing an ontology for the same, based on a few books of the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. Leadership is one of the vital personality traits that decides how much a person achieves and climbs up the ladder of success in life and influences others and the society at large. The study on leadership can be done from various perspectives like historical, sociological, psychological, etc. However, in this paper, it is approached from a Biblical perspective, wherein the Biblical truths are used both to diagnose the leadership potential in a person and recommend leadership scope for a person based on his or her leadership abilities. A combination of ontological approach and Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) is used. The OWL ontology on leadership is developed and used in the CBR system development. The CBR system is developed using myCBR. Any user can use this application to assess his leadership traits, recognize his eligibility for becoming a leader and receive Biblical recommendations to equip himself/herself for future leadership. The third paper, "Shift Strategic Algorithm for Intranet Over Cloud", by Abebe Alambo Tona and Durga Prasad Sharma, describes that Intranet and Intranetware have become a central platform for implementing the organization's task to ensure smooth and effective communication, computing and collaboration among employees. Intranets play an important role in vertical and horizontal growth. Organizations use intranet-ware for directing, reporting, collaborating, socializing, communicating and meeting or discussing the professional and social issues. Today, cloud-based computing, communication and collaboration have created new frontiers and emerging paradigms towards re-engineering of work in the organizations. In order to enhance performance with extended features, next-generation computing and communication need migration of intranet. As a primary observation, "do and do not" are serious issues in on-premise intranet versus intranet over cloud. The paper answers the questions as to how an alternative technology strategy can be explored for enhancing the performance and extending the features of educational intranet. Upon analysis of collected facts, a clear need for performance enhancement was observed with add-on features over intranet. Finally, an intranet shift/migration strategic algorithm over hybrid cloud was designed and developed using SaaS (i.e., AMU CloudNet). The paper uses the interact intranet to design the functional prototype and demonstrate that computing, communication and collaboration services can be enhanced anytime, anywhere for boundary-less access. Research institutions, individuals and some standardization organizations provide several solutions for integrating the IP network and the transport network management. However, these solutions focus only on the technical aspects of interoperability between the IP network and the Transport Network Management System (T-NMS) and addresses the interoperability problem from a business process perspective. The last paper, "Support for Deploying Business Processes for the Interaction Between IP Network and Transport Network Management Systems", by Raufu Oluwatoyin Raheem and J?rn Altmann, uses Web Service Business Process Execution Language (WS-BPEL) to describe and align the processes of the IP network management system, TNMS and a mediator that works between those management systems. The results show that it is economical and timesaving to process multiple requests at a time, while single request gives higher reliability. It is believed that the solution would provide high flexibility, leading to an effective network management interaction between IP-NMS and the T-NMS.

Development of Advisory Knowledge-Based Expert System to Identify and Mitigate Unintentional Insider Threats in Financial Institutions of Ethiopia
Security in financial institutions has become a crucial point to be considered, from design to deployment of the ICT systems, with proper care and follow-up. Today, most of the organizations have been transforming their professional activities towards end-to-end automation. Once the ICT systems or the data centers get connected via the internet, they are vulnerable or accessible to and threatened by malicious actors both from inside and outside the organization. Moreover, insiders cannot be easily detected, defended or quarantined because they are trusted insider employees. They do make innocent mistakes and sometimes erroneously pass on confidential customer records to outsiders. Their intention and coding conventions also cannot be easily traced, detected or disclosed. Hence, it is vital for the financial institutions to employ real-time surveillance to secure and protect organizational computing, communication and collaboration activities with data/ information integrity. These kinds of issues and challenges are common in the financial institutions of Ethiopia. As a matter of fact, there is an acute shortage of cyber security specialists in Ethiopia who can provide adequate security awareness and training to the stakeholders. To address the aforementioned issues and challenges, the paper has designed and developed advisory knowledge-based expert system which can identify and mitigate unintentional insider threats in financial institutions of Ethiopia with a structured guideline for legitimate users. Prolog has been used to develop the prototype of knowledge-based expert system. The paper applies exploratory applied research using quantitative approach, and rule-based approach is used as knowledge representation technique.
Ontology-Based Cbr System on Religious Leadership
The Bible, which is the holy book for Christians, contains instructions for life and has a vast reservoir of information, useful for life. It is sufficient to provide an answer to queries on any vital topic in life. The paper focuses on 'Leadership', which is an important concept in life and aims at developing Ontology for the same, based on a few books of the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. Leadership is one of the vital personality traits that decide how much a person achieves and climbs up the ladder of success in life and influences other people and the society at large. The study on leadership was done from various perspectives-historical, sociological, psychological, etc. However, in this work, it is approached from a Biblical perspective, wherein the Biblical truths are used both to diagnose the leadership potential in a person and recommend leadership scope for a person based on his or her leadership abilities. A combination of ontological approach and Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) is used for this. The Ontology Web Language (OWL) on leadership is developed and used in the CBR system development. The CBR system is developed using myCBR. Any user can use this application to assess his leadership traits, recognize his eligibility for becoming a leader and receive biblical recommendations to equip him for future leadership.
Shift Strategic Algorithm for Intranet Over Cloud
Intranet and intranetwares have become a central junction/platform for implementing the organization's specific work culture. In order to ensure smooth and effective communication, computing and collaboration among employees, intranets play an important role. For vertical and horizontal management, intranetwares are used for directing, reporting, collaborating, socializing, communicating and meeting or discussing the professional and social issues. Today, cloud-based computing, communication and collaboration have created new frontiers and emerging paradigms towards re-engineering of work cultures in the organizations. In order to enhance performance with extended features, next-generation computing and communication need migration of intranets. As a primary observation, 'haves and have not' are serious issues in on-premise intranet versus intranet over cloud. The paper answers the research questions as to how an alternative technology strategy or pathway can be explored for enhancing the performance and extending the features of educational intranets, and how an on-premise intranet can be shifted/migrated over cloud platforms with enhanced performance and extended/add-on features. Upon analysis of collected facts, a clear need for performance enhancement was observed with add-on features over intranets. The study investigates and analyzes the issues and challenges, i.e., features and performances of the current state-of-the-art of the intranets in general and on-premise intranet of Arba Minch University (AMU) in specific. Finally, an intranet shift/migration strategic algorithm over hybrid cloud was designed and developed using SaaS (i.e., AMU CloudNet). The interact intranet was used for designing the functional prototype and demonstrated that computing, communication and collaboration services can be enhanced anytime, anywhere with boundaryless access.
Support for Deploying Business Processes for the Interaction Between IP Network and Transport Network Management Systems
Research institutions, individuals and some standardization organizations are provided with several solutions for integrating the IP network and the transport network management. These solutions, however, focus only on the technical aspects of interoperability between the IP network and the Transport Network Management Systems (T-NMS). The paper addresses the interoperability problem from a business process perspective. Web Service Business Process Execution Language (WS-BPEL) is used to describe and align the processes of the IP Network Management System (IP-NMS), T-NMS and a mediator that works between those management systems. In addition to this, the performance of the mediator is compared for processing single and multiple requests in terms of time, reliability and cost of process. The results showed that it is economical and timesaving to process multiple requests at a time, while single request gives higher reliability. It is believed that the solution would provide high flexibility and lead to an effective network management interaction between IP-NMS and the T-NMS.
