1st International Conference on DCCA - Jordan
So finally I got the time to write about this special event. I had the pleasure of attending and contributing to the first international “Digital Communications and Computer Applications” conference in Jordan.
First Day:
The opening ceremony took place at Jordan University of Science and Technology (my university!), with the prescence of the minister of higher education, and the distinguished guests from all over the world ! It was a life time opportunity, to meet professors from all over the world who have Published Papers on different topics related to communications and computer applications.
The ceremony started by the national anthem, holy quran, speeches by the deans, university president, and the minister of higher education.
After that, we went for a coffee break, where we had the chance to talk to the guests. There, I talked to the team of Czech Republic. They have some amazing work in solar energy, data compression, software engineering modeling, and image processing in general.
After the long interesting coffee break, concurrent sessions took place at the “c sqaure” rooms, where each guest presented his published paper and an open discussion regarding his paper followed the presentation.
Second Day:
At 8:00 AM, the Jordan University of Science and Technology team gathered and took a bus to Jordan Intercontinental hotel, where everybody was busy attending another set of concurrent sessions and presentations by the guests. New topics for the second days. I attented the Image Processing, Computer Security, Data Communication and Computer Networks presentations.
At the coffee break, we decided to pay a visit for the “WebIT” exhibition at the ground floor of the same hotel.
A very fortunate surprise was waiting us there; it was the meeting of the fabulous team of Jeeran.com !! Jeeran is the first and the most popular company in the arab world that provides blogging servies. Jeeran is a leading company, proudly Jordanian, run by a young promising team. I had the pleasure of meeting some fellow bloggers who works for Jeeran : 7ala, Wedad, and Laith Zraikat.
Not to mention the team of Talasim.com (Zaid Qudosi) , and the blogger/photographer Sabri Hakim ( SabriHakim.com ).
Oh wait, there are more surprises !!
The post is too long already, so I will write about the most interesting team in the DCCA conference, Microsoft Windows Vista presentation and the new service of Jeeran in the next post of mine.
Actually, I met a phenomenon, a God Power. I won’t talk much about him now, but it’s enough to say for now that the title of his paper was to “Proving the Noor of Allah in the distingueshed and unique vowels of Qur’an”. He is muslim, but oddly enough, HE IS NOT AN ARAB.
to be continued…
