UCA Faculty and Alum Research Paper Presented at Paris Conference

Dr Ayman Aljarbouh, Associate Professor at UCA’s School of Arts and Sciences, presented a paper entitled “A Dynamic API Approach for Improved Management of Winning Conditions in Online Auto Chess Multiplayer Games,” at the 7th International Conference on Computer, Software, and Modeling in Paris, France. The paper has been co-authored by a fellow faculty, Dr Dymtro Zubov, Associate Professor, and Aktan Tursunbaev, Alumnus, Class of 2022. The paper proposes a novel technique based on the development of a dynamic Application Programming Interface that facilitates real-time communication with the Dr Dymtro Zubov, Associate Professor, and Aktan Tursunbaev, Alumnus, Class of 2022.

The paper proposes a novel technique based on the development of a dynamic Application Programming Interface that facilitates real-time communication with the server's database with minimal user intervention. Unlike existing mechanisms that rely on HTTP and constant update requests, the team utilised web sockets for instant communication, allowing updates to be sent over the network as soon as they become available.

Dr Aljarbouh's research paper was recognised as the Best Presentation of the Session. Emphasising the importance of collaborative work, Dr Aljarbouh, stated, “Engaging students in research is one of the top priorities at the Department of Computer Science. It was a great experience to involve an alumnus in research that has been accepted for publication by the Journal of Software. These experiences allow students to learn new techniques on how to solve real-world problems through research.”

UCA continues to foster an environment that encourages faculty and students alike to collaborate and innovate.
