Randy Pausch:
Randy Pausch was a computer scientist who taught the
“Building Virtual Worlds”
course for ten years at the prestigious Carnegie Mellon University from 1997 to
2007. he was known for his inspirational lecture about achieving your dreams
and his book, co-authored with Jeffrey Zaslow
I learned several important tips from his time
management lecture such as focusing on doing right things rather than doing
things right also, I liked his suggestion to have the to-do-list in a four
quadrant table and classify the tasks mainly according to their importance and
then according their due date.Besides,he suggested
breaking tasks into small steps and concentrating on one thing at a time and I belive these methods provide the sense of acomplishment, encourages us and saves time. He also
emphasized on the importance of asking and how it does magic and shortens the
way to get things done.He gave
beneficial tips regarding managing time with people and how to prioritize your
time polietly.
Prof. Christos/ Theory Questions:
1.A desicon problem is
the problem of finding a way to decide whether a formula or class of formulas
is true or provable within a given system of axioms.
2.A problem is said to be Decidable if we can
always construct a corresponding algorithm that can answer the problem
correctly.
3.The class P consists of those problems that are
solvable in polynomial time ,while The class NP
consists of those problems that are verifiable in polynomial time.
4.It asks whether every problem whose solution can
be quickly verified can also be solved quickly.

Prof Riley/Security:
·
One of the major Qatar
security incidences was the e-piracy crime that targeted Qatar news agency.
Investigations was done by Qatar investigation team with the help of FBI found
out that attackers were able to exploit an electronic gap in the Qatar news
agency website. These hackers published false remarks targeting Emir Sheikh
Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
·
Another security incident
targeted QNB where some data was leaked in the form of files uploaded on social
media leading to the exposure of personal details of some clients
including some Al Jazeera staff, members of
Qatar’s ruling al-Thani family and Yousuf Abdullah al-Qaradawi.
State-controlled
QNB has said it is investigating the matter, which it referred to as “social
media speculation in regard to an alleged data breach”

I found four
· Measure the speed of flies like you would
measure the speed of an arrow
i.e. time flies as you would time an arrow.
· Measure the speed of flies using methods that
an arrow would use
i.e. (time flies in
the same manner that an arrow would time them.
· Measure the speed of flies with qualities
resembling those of arrows
i.e. time those flies that are like an arrow.
· Time moves in a way an arrow would.
Prof Giselle/PL:
- Why did we
move from punch cards to programming languages? What does that tell you
about the purpose of programming languages?
A mistake in a punch card means repeating the whole card
that’s why it was so difficult .Programming languages
are easier to write and debug.
- There are
hundreds of different programming languages out there. Why do you think we
need so many?
Because every programming language is efficient in an aspect
more than the others so there is a variety of programming languages that their
efficiency differ according to the purpose they are
used for
- What are
some drawbacks of a programming language you use? How would you like it to
be different? Think of specific examples.
Its
hard to transfer a code from one language to another, maybe a program that is able to translate the code from a language to another.
- If you were
going to create a new programming language, how would you start? What do
you need to define?
I will start be defining basic
mathematical operations and then I will expand in different field and see what
are the necessities to do anything in a specific field for example drawing what
are the main tools that can be implemented to ease programming.
Prof. Gianni/Rob&AI:
- - How do you define AI?
is the simulation of human intelligence
processes by machines, especially computer systems.
- - Can you name at least three different sub-fields of
AI?
Machine
learning , deep learning, Neutral network
- - AI has been around since about
70 years so far. Why is it booming right now?
due to the availability of data now
- - Can you
name at least three application sectors where robots are being largely
employed? What are the reasons?
Health ,Agriculture,
food preparation
Because they are more efficient in terms of time consumed
and how precise the do their jobs
- - Can you
identify three major challenges for a wheeled autonomous robot performing
a 24h surveillance task in a large facility? (e.g., something like Mall of
Qatar)
They can break down at any moment
Prof Saquib/Embedded Systems & CS Education:
1.
What is the difference between a microcontroller and microprocessor
A microprocessor is a controlling unit of a micro-computer
wrapped inside a small chip.
A microcontroller
is a chip optimized to control electronic devices
2.
What are realtime systems
System response should be guaranteed within a
specified timing constraint or system should meet the specified deadline
3.
What is a control system
A control system manages, commands, directs, or
regulates the behavior of other devices or systems using control loops
4.
What are intelligent tutoring Systems?
computer system that aims to provide immediate and
customized instruction or feedback to learners,
