This creates a great burden on higher education institutions to accurately be able to supply what the industry currently demands. Understanding and analyzing the gap between the supplied and demanded competencies has been always a topic of debate and research between both domains of knowledge. In this thesis, we propose to develop an ontology that would help in identifying the gap between the employee and occupation competencies. The objective is to be able to generate the gap analysis utilizing the ontology and provide users with information that would help them in gaining more knowledge about the domain and taking informative decisions based on facts. Two separate ontologies representing classes and object properties of the Education and the Industry domain have been\u00a0successfully modeled. The validation shows that the ontology correctly classifies the employees as Fit or Un-fit to the set of occupations they applied for according to the competency gap analysis.<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-265 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/qufaculty.qu.edu.qa\/abdelaziz-bouras\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/603\/2016\/08\/global_onto-300x120.png\" alt=\"global_onto\" width=\"421\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"http:\/\/qufaculty.qu.edu.qa\/abdelaziz-bouras\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/603\/2016\/08\/global_onto-300x120.png 300w, http:\/\/qufaculty.qu.edu.qa\/abdelaziz-bouras\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/603\/2016\/08\/global_onto-768x307.png 768w, http:\/\/qufaculty.qu.edu.qa\/abdelaziz-bouras\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/603\/2016\/08\/global_onto-1024x410.png 1024w, http:\/\/qufaculty.qu.edu.qa\/abdelaziz-bouras\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/603\/2016\/08\/global_onto.png 1507w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 421px) 100vw, 421px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul>[\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;Sample of Senior Projects&#8221;]<ul class=\"list-unstyled\">\n\t\t\t<li class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t<strong><i class=\"fa \"><\/i>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t<span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Smart city services interconnection &#8211; 2016\/17<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\">Smart City services and applications are well known to address problems of high levels of urbanization. The project is dedicated to the link between smart city services using internet of thing platform. It is proposed to model the exit flow from Smart Parkings (service 1) and connect it to a Smart Traffic (service 2). The first step is related to the detection of the cars going outside several parkings and heading to gates towards different directions (through plate numbers readers). Then, the Smart parking node communicates the needed information to the Smart traffic node. The next step is related to the intelligent management of the Traffic signals according to the cars flow in each direction. To insure the probability between the two systems, the Open Group IoT Standards O-MI (Message Interface) and O-DF (Data Format) will be used.
