Preface

The Public University “Kadri Zeka” (UKZ) in Gjilan, Kosovo, continues its

former university tradition in Gjilan - Teacher training began in the second

half of the 1950s (1958), at the level of higher schools. It was initially

established as a Pedagogical Academy on 18 September 1973, while the

work started on 25 December 1975.

The New University of Gjilan was established with the decision of the

Government of Kosova on 6 March 2013, and adopted by the Assembly of

Kosovo on May 30, 2013, with the idea of promoting and developing

university higher education, research scientific, artistic creativity,

qualification of staff to the doctoral degree. The establishment of the UKZ

enabled the inclusion of the largest number of students in the Gjilan region,

the Presheva Valley and other areas of Kosovo and outside of Kosovo

At the 2nd meeting of the Senate of the "Kadri Zeka" University, held on

26.12.2013, the new Faculty of Computer Science (FCS) was approved and

accredited in the framework of UKZ and after regular evaluation of the

experts from Kosovo Agency for Accreditation. Unlike the other faculties of

the "Kadri Zeka" University, which were continuation of the branches of

the respective faculties of the University of Prishtina, the FCS started its

work for the first time on October 1st, 2014, registering 122 new students.

In the public contest for student enrollment for the coming years, a large

number of candidates were presented, so math's and informatics tests were

selected for the selection of the best.

The curriculum at the FCS is carried out for three years (6 semesters) of

regular studies. The FCS provides basic and advanced knowledge on

technological and software challenges in the field of computer science as

8

well as tire application in the IT industry and software development for Web

Design and Economics.

Knowing that engineers in modern times need to be able to solve ever more

complex problems and issues for designing and implementing package

software, designing and implementing computer solutions, or to improve

and maintain technology information that will be provided in this Bachelor

program will cover techniques that will increase productivity in the

development of software and information technology.

Within the Faculty of Computer Sciences, from the academic 2017/2018

was accredited the Master e-Governance program where 60

regular students were enrolled. For the next year is planned accreditation of

new master and bachelor study programs from the IT field.

Introduction

The digitalization could be explained such as the evolution of the humanity,

a development of the human intelligence, if it is used properly. At

company’s level, the target of this digitalization is to develop

effective management and operational processes to make easier and

maximize company’s efficiency.

If we want to know the impact of this phenomenon on companies and

markets you just have to think about one question:

- What company could survive in its respective market without have a

webpage or appear on the Internet?

Nowadays it’s impossible to imagine a big company or a SME without a

minimum reference on the Internet, because that information makes

customers trust in enterprises and their services or on the other hand

doubt about them depending on the appearance of their webs or regarding

opinions of other costumers.

But the profits of digitalization provide more advantages than

disadvantages to companies. With the progressive arrival of this

phenomenon all the markets have been globalized and enterprises have

yield benefits from it, using for example the Internet as a canal to sell their

products and gain share of the market.

When we are thinking about digitalization and taking into account its

progress, an unavoidable question appears on our minds:

- Will we be replaced in our jobs for computers in the near future?

10

In this digital era, we can’t be sure at all. All the enterprises require a good

use of technologies as something essential and basic to fulfill their profile of

employee. It’s all about taking any opportunities to learn

about technological process and programs that could be useful for working

in different kind of enterprises.

The main target of this Conference is to motivate and make the students

aware about the importance of technologies in business, showing them a

huge variety of options to use digital technology and the profits that could

be achieved through it.

The characteristics of the event and the quality of the projects which will be

presented in the DiGiDay Conference will offer a perfect opportunity of

gaining meaningful insights of present and future trends in digital marketing

and sales for businesses.

At the end of the DiGiDay Conference we will leave with a pretty good idea

of how important the technology is nowadays for business.

That digital marketing is very important for a company at all levels:

- Awareness,

- Website,

- Brand advertising,

- Personalization, etc.

Also, to engage the consumers, it is a great idea to involve them in activities

related to the company for example sending them surveys so they can get

involved in the improvement of the company.

And for the last one it is kind of obvious, the bookings being made online or

through an app. It’s innovative!

SESSION I – KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

Dr. Erwin Bratengeyer, Danube University Krems, Austria

The brave new world of Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is addressed from a scientific, technological, and

philosophical point of view. Some fundamental explanations are provided

and philosophical questions are raised which emerge from the outrageous

potential AI seems to hold. Based on definitions of AI recent leaps forward in

development, current success stories as well as myths and facts are

presented.

Basic features of machine learning and artificial neural networks, which

essentially contribute to the exponential growth of AI, are explained and

examples including current realizations are given. The hypothesis, that

exponentially growing progress in AI achievements gives rise to the so-called

“singularity” will result in unfathomable changes to human civilization is

discussed.

Notions and believes of relevant stakeholders from leading global players

and renown AI-protagonists are contraposed.

Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Singularity, Exponential

Challenges of e-Services in Kosovo using national biometric eID

card in compliance with eIDAS regulation.

Abstract

Today, we are witnessing increased demand for more speed and capacity in

the Internet, and more processing power and storage in every end user

device. Demand for greater performance is present in every system.

Electronic devices and their hosted applications need to be fast, but not to

lose their main security features. Authentication and encryption are the

main processes in the security aspect, and are required for a secure

communication. These processes can be executed in different devices,

among them PCs, microprocessors, microcontrollers, biometric cards or

mobile devices.

Biometric identity cards are becoming increasingly popular, challenging

traditional PC devices. This presentation compares two processing systems,

the efficiency of encryption and signatures on the data executed in national

identity biometric card versus PC, known also as the match-on-card versus

the match-off-card. It considers how different parameters impact the

process and the role they play on the overall process. The results, executed

with a predefined set of test vectors, determine which processing system to

use in a certain situation. Final conclusions and recommendations are given

taking into consideration the efficiency and security of the data.

Keywords: Cryptography, Digital Signature, Match-on-Card, Match-off-Card,

Data Analytics in Health: The Future of Disease Prognosis

Abstract

The focus of the research study is to investigate and analyses the current

analytical issues in approaches and analysis of diabetes in order to make

sense of the data and use it to improve the health system. Within the

investigation of the set of data from the ministry of health of Kosovo

realised several types of analyses using different software tools. The lack of

a formal definition for Big Data has led research to evolve into multiple and

inconsistent paths.

Furthermore, the existing ambiguity among researchers and practitioners

undermines an efficient development of the subject especially its potential

to be used in medicine within the bioinformatics discipline. The current main

challenge is to efficiently translate science into modern medicine that is

limited by our capacity to process and understand these big data. So,

there is an urgent need to develop and integrate new, mathematical and

computational models with the ability to analyze Big Data in order to

retrieve useful information to aid clinicians in accurately diagnosing and

treating patients to improve patient outcomes.

Scientists and health-care providers may learn from one another when it

comes to understanding the value of Big Data and analytics. Data, derived

by patients and consumers, also requires analytics to become actionable.

Insights and recommendations are provided, and argumented are provided

and discussed.

A heursitic approach for an optimal university shift scheduling

Abstract

Nowadays the number of students within educational institutions increases

rapidly, leading to the more and more higher complexity during assigning of

students as well as teachers to the teaching courses. Knowing that the

typical educational timetabling problems are NP complete, there can be

found a number of heuristic algorithms designed to solve those problems.

The most of such approaches tends either to solve problems from the

teacher point of view or from the student point of view. In this paper, a new

heuristic approach for the solution of University timetabling problem is

proposed and implemented, having in consideration at the same time more

source indicators like, professor availability , student, optimal room

availability, fitting optimal number of students within course classes,

minimal waiting time for students between courses time, etc.

All these indicators can be previously assigned to the set of values in order

to restrict the space searching. There is also implemented a cross-platform

web application that helps administrative officials to manage the services

included within the platform. The platform aims to provide scalability, high

availability and low latency.

The approach is tested, verified and successfully used for the solving of

timetabling problems at some faculties within UKZ.

Abstract

In this paper, we will discuss the importance of the efficient use of

technology tools in the learning process. In today's society, the use of

technology is an important part of every individual's life. But do children in

our schools, have the motivation to use technology efficiently, in favor of

developing their critical minds?

What is the role played by technology to develop computer and critical

thinking of students in mathematics, and does the level of teachers who will

implement this teaching technology, go hand in hand with it? Do our

schools, have the right infrastructure to enable talented teachers with

efficient technology to bring the change that society expects from school?

Abstract

This is a project with objectives to study and to apply the surface of the

hardware and software part of the panel with LED diode lamps. Much more

is focused on the programming of LED matrix diodes located on 16X96

electronic panels, respectively 16 rows of 96 columns. Also, there is

elaborated the study of the mode of operation, composition, coding and use

of software for panel diodes. In the focus of all this is the introduction of

diode panels in use at "Kadri Zeka" University exactly at the Faculty of

Computer Science to provide digital information to students, professors or

anyone passing through the premises of the university what is happening

inside the classrooms of the Faculty of Computer Science. This happens in

real time in accordance with the schedule of lectures and exercises in the

respective classrooms of the FCS. In fact, this project explains in detail the

concept of LED diodes and microcontrollers, their features, operation, power

supply and work with 0 [VDC] and 5 [VDC] voltages, respectively 0 and 1

logic bits. Meanwhile, the project also explains how coding, software

building that locks, and unlocks LED diodes on a 16X96 LED diode panel,

thereby producing text on the panel (display, screen) in static, mobile,

animation or up-down, left and right movements according to the time

allocated to the timers of the microcontrollers. Such action achieves the goal

of the digitalization project of the classrooms of the Faculty of Computer

Science.

Project title: Case Management System at PEMA Day Care Center Authors: Dr. Lindita NEBIU HYSENI, Lirikë QERIMI (Team Leader), Elmedina REXHEPI, Tringa SALIHU, Dafina DEMA, Qendrim SABEDINI Faculty of Computer Sciences, Public University “Kadri Zeka” Gjilan

Abstract

Case Management System at PEMA Day Care Center (for short PEMA) is

developed by students of the Faculty of Computer Sciences (FCS) in

cooperation with the mentor of the Project course in order to contribute in

managing cases, schedules and sessions held in this center for children with

disabilities and other disadvantaged groups of children in Kosovo. The online

system has two main modules: Management Module (MM) for head office

in Pristina and Employees Module (EM) for center in Gjilan, Prizren, Peja,

and Ferizaj.

The EM can be extended for new centers in the future. The MM enables the

organization's management as well as the managers to manage all centers

from Pristina in term of cases, schedules, sessions, nomenclatures (i.e.

adding a new type of case) and Reports: a) Reports of the number of cases

by case type, age, gender, engaged employee in cases, and references. b)

Reports of the number of sessions by familiar therapy, group therapy,

individual therapy, and engaged employee in cases.

All the steps for the realization of this system were undertaken in

coordination with the data provided by the PEMA Day Care Center,

comparing it with the data provided during the interview with the Center

Manager and observation of the work that the employees do in the center.

The PEMA system has been successfully analysed, developed and tested by

the students at the FCS, also it is presented by students to the employees of

the PEMA Day Care Center in Gjilan who have positive impression during the

presentation. This system is ready for testing and implementation by

FCS`students at the PEMA Day Care Center.

Project title: Advantages of Moodle 3.2 against Google Classroom Authors: Prof.Dr. Basri AHMEDI, Agnesë KRASNIQI, Artina SYLA, Diellza BAJRAMI, Florianë MUSHICA

Faculty of Computer Sciences, Public University “Kadri Zeka” Gjilan

Abstract

Thanks to technology developments and massive use of computers and

other electronic devices, new forms of learning, other than traditional ones,

have spread. Almost everyone has experienced a form of e-learning in the

business, education, or social context. Electronic learning uses electronic

media to facilitate learning. Web pages, presentations, digital books, or

dedicated electronic courses are examples of electronic learning.

Educational Institutions require different types of Learning Management

System - LMS. To find out which one is most appropriate, the platforms, the

opportunities they offer, and their prices have to be analyzed.

The idea of this project is to get acquainted with one of the e-learning

platform e.g. Google classroom and comparison with Moodle 3.2 platform

which is used at “Kadri Zeka” University. During this study, there are many

controversies about how learning platform such as Google Classroom.

Although it is more powerful and has a greater name based on the results of

this study, Google Classroom does not provide enough opportunities that

can help increase the quality of education in institutions that is used as it

can offer Moodle 3.2. The incorporation of the e-Learning platform at “Kadri

Zeka” University has led to a significant increase in the number of

participants in the courses.

The use of e-Learning as an e-learning platform in the teaching process at

the University of Gjilan has continued for 3 years and is still used today. The

project includes statistics, research, testing, and ultimately it gives a

conclusion on which platform is most appropriate for our conditions.

Project title: Programming and Coding with Scratch Authors: Prof. Dr. Xhevdet THAQI, Ensar KRASNIQI Faculty of Computer Sciences, Public University “Kadri Zeka” Gjilan

Abstract

Every day, the need of computer devices is steadily rising. And with that

more programs are created to maintain this trend. Most of the developing is

done by professional programmers, that use really complicated

programming languages, but what about kids, how can they learn and

program different applications easier? That’s what me and my Mentor will

try to explain with this presentation.

A presentation about programming with the Scratch Programming

Language. Not only Scratch is a programming language suited for children,

it is so extensible, that even professional developers and professors can use

it effectively.

Also, we will try and demonstrate a few greater projects made in Scratch to

show that not only it’s possible to create valid problem solving projects, it’s

also possible to use Scratch to make really breathtaking animations and

interactive projects.

Keywords: Programing, Coding, Scratch

Project title: Creating a student complaint management application Authors: Prof.Dr. Basri AHMEDI, Florika QERIMI, Kastriot KADRIU

Faculty of Computer Sciences, Public University “Kadri Zeka” Gjilan

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to create an application in which students will

feel free to submit complaints or dissatisfaction with professors and the

university in general.

The survey is done to see how punctual the professors are in what they do,

do they respect the schedule and the syllabus, what are the communicative

values, and what is the student-professor relationship, as well as the

possibility of an assessment of univrsity in general. In order for students to

feel more comfortable, evaluations and comments are published

anonymously for both professors and the university. In the same line as

anonymity, we have also worked on the integrity of this platform. Thus,

through a special logic, we will make sure that only those who are really

students of our university will be able to register and eventually give

estimates.

These estimates are calculated with an algorithm and provide accurate data

for each professor. The purpose of the application for managing student

complaints is primarily to increase the performance level at the university

rather than to lower the professor and university values.

Project title: Digitalization of school library services Authors: Buen BAJRAMI, Prof. Dr. Xhevdet THAQI Faculty of Computer Sciences, Public University “Kadri Zeka” Gjilan

Abstract

The main problem directly related to access to university literature is

obviously the lack of an electronic library management system. Students are

obliged to access a non-university literature which is placed on the public market

without any academic criteria.

In this project we have enabled students to have a platform where they will have

access to the internet at any time and will be familiar with the literature of their

university. The platform has been organized on two parts, that server-side and

client-side, where students will be provided with full and authorized information for

the book and its reservation to be mailed directly to the library manager, also on

the other hand the administrator also has the possibility of library management

and library students / readers.

This platform enables the exchange of books between the university and the

student in the fastest and most secure way possible in online form.

Project title: The influence of Technology in the system of education – Case Study Municipality of Gjilan Authors: Prof.Dr. Ragmi Mustafa, Ass.PhD.Cand. Refik Ramadani Faculty of Computer Sciences, Public University “Kadri Zeka” Gjilan

Abstract

The time we are living is making the world smaller ever and more. This positive

phenomenon for mankind is happening thanks to the language of technology,

which by creating better connections every time, is greatly assisting the process of

globalization.

The first step in the formation of this language are their positive ideas and

impressions from them. Modern technological ideas, which include a great

positivity in society and are linked with thinking and communication. But where

does such a close consolidation between communication and thinking relies on?

The first beginnings of general communication are based on education, which

creates unusual creative communication ideas. With a word, education is among

the dominant factors in the language of scientific communication. But what does it

really differentiate the language of communication from the language into the

ordinary sense? How can one explain the fact that the language of science as a

whole can be recognized by everyone? Science and technology aim at the clarity

and maximum accuracy of the concepts, the connection between them and the

consistency with the data of our senses. Scientific and technological language has a

supranational character. The overwhelming character of technological concepts

and the scientific language is perceived by the fact that they are created by the

best minds of all time and of all countries that started as an educational step.

Our century is characterized by the denigration of the goals and the perfection of

the tools for their realization. Technology tools are becoming more and more

perfect every day, contributing to the ease of everyone's' life in all spheres. Among

the most important areas is the education as well. What is the exact contribution of

technology to education?

Project title: Implementation and design of VOIP at the University Authors: Prof.Dr. Basri Ahmedi, Nusmir Bunjaku, Lirigzon Salihu, Dreni Sahiti, Ardian Rashiti Faculty of Computer Sciences, Public University “Kadri Zeka” Gjilan

Abstract

Much of the information exchanged on public and private networks in

telecommunications is Voice. Older technologies used special devices for voice

transport. Usually those devices utilized electricity for data transfer, for which

reason many problems such as: Interferences, can not be sent at distant distances

because many signal generators and long cables needed, while the quality of the

signal with the increase the signal distance fell a lot. To overcome these problems,

there was a need to switch to technology called VOIP (Voice over IP). VOIP is

implemented without having additional telecommunications equipment, but only

by using similar devices for access to the Internet. VoIP is the transmission of voice

and multimedia data being transferred through Internet Protocol (IP). Codes that

we use Endpoint VoIP (Telephony) usually use the International Telecommunication

Union (ITU) standard codecs as G.711, which is the standard for packet packet

transmission and G.729 for compression packets. Usually as soon as the voice is

encapsulated over IP then transmitted via the RTP (Real-Time Transport)

protocol.The devices used to perform a VoIP topology are the following: Router,

Switch, VoIP support phones, Cables. VOIP Options: Call Pickup, Call Parking, Hount

Group, Configuring Intercom, Call Forward, Call Transfer. The phones to function

properly, 4 main points are needed: VLAN, DHCP SERVER, TFTP SERVER, NTP

SERVER. The best part of this project is the practical demonstration of VOIP.
