Software Engineering Department

Software Engineering Department
The department established in 2000 with accepting just 20 students. the Engineering College was the first college to start this prestigious branch. The number of students gradually increased year by year, so now we have over 200 students for BSc. courses. In 2002 the department has started to open high diploma courses, afterwards in 2006 MSc. courses started to be given to postgraduate students. 
The department act as a dynamic research department, drawing skilled researchers from the region and reacting swiftly to the changing technological landscape. Some 15 researchers are currently working within the department, including academic staff, research staff, and research students. A part of these research activities, the department has a well-known annual fair named SEDAF. 
Software Engineering Department Fair-SEDAF
The exhibition aims to focus attention on the extensive research activities undertaken within the software and to give our students the opportunity to present their project to the Kurdistan’s community. The entire projects are designed and proposed for both private and public sectors use, and hence the government institutions in particular will get benefit in implementing these projects in order to provide services to the citizens effectively and efficiently.
There are different professional software projects for presentation in the exhibition along with various posters every year. The projects are more feasible for KRG’s institutions.

iPad Mini

iPad Mini

The infamous 8-inch version of the iPad has wallowed in the rumor mill for months. Now, some outlets are reporting that the device is actually going into a manufacturing phase. The size makes sense, both in terms of how Apple offers multiple sizes for the MacBook line and as a way for the company to fend off recent challenges by Google (with the Nexus 7 tablet) and Amazon (with the Kindle Fire). That's a regular-sized iPad to the left.

Microsoft's Surface Tablet Pro

The tablet with the funky cover/keyboard combo will likely arrive this fall, but the big splash will come in 2013 with the Pro model, which will have a legit Intel i5 dual-core processor. Why is a Microsoft tablet such a big deal? It’s the future of Windows computing, that’s all. Swipes and gestures on the new Metro interface are one thing, but the Office Touch apps might finally make business users pay attention.

CPU: Central Processing Unit




CPU: Central Processing Unit

CPU is the central processing unit which is responsible for carrying out all the activities within the internal structure of the computer. The system works as a program which at times needs up gradation to increase its efficiency and effectiveness so that people can easily work on it. Moreover the RAM and ROM can also be found on the computer.

CPU is one of the most important elements of the computer as each and everything needs to be carried out through it. All the information is to be stored in the CPU and at time the information can be easily accessed but at time it becomes quite hard for the person to get to the exactly saved information. Apart from this CPU is also responsible for performing some other functions which are concerned with the mathematical and operational ability of the computer. Moreover the computer CPU acts as a storage device where much of the information can be easily saved and hence the stored information is found to be quite helpful for many people as it can be retrieved by the person at the time of need. The arithmetical ability if also carried out by the CPU as it does not have any capacity of committing any error at all so all the functions can be performed. The CPU acts according to the instructions of the user.

On the other hand, at times CPU also gathers some of the hidden information from its memory so the process of gathering and extracting that information is known as the logical unit which is another important function of CPU. The operational activities within the CPU are carried out through different steps, where at first the information needs to be found out, then it needs to be decoded and executed and finally the results are to be gathered at the end.

Introduction to Logic Gates and Boolean Functions

Introduction

Boolean functions may be practically implemented by using electronic gates. The following points are important to understand.
  • Electronic gates require a power supply.
  • Gate INPUTS are driven by voltages having two nominal values, e.g. 0V and 5V representing logic 0 and logic 1 respectively.
  • The OUTPUT of a gate provides two nominal values of voltage only, e.g. 0V and 5V representing logic 0 and logic 1 respectively. In general, there is only one output to a logic gate except in some special cases.
  • There is always a time delay between an input being applied and the output responding.

    'Introduction' Truth Tables

    Truth tables are used to help show the function of a logic gate. If you are unsure about truth tables and need guidence on how go about drawning them for individual gates or logic circuits then use the truth table section link.


    'Logic Logic gates

    OR gate

      
    The NOT gate is an electronic circuit that produces an inverted version of the input at its output.  It is also known as an inverter.  If the input variable is A, the inverted output is known as NOT A.  This is also shown as A', or A with a bar over the top, as shown at the outputs. The diagrams below show two ways that the NAND logic gate can be configured to produce a NOT gate. It can also be done using NOR logic gates in the same way.


      
    This is a NOT-AND gate which is equal to an AND gate followed by a NOT gate.  The outputs of all NAND gates are high if any of the inputs are low. The symbol is an AND gate with a small circle on the output. The small circle represents inversion.
    NOR gate
      
    This is a NOT-OR gate which is equal to an OR gate followed by a NOT gate.  The outputs of all NOR gates are low if any of the inputs are high.
    The symbol is an OR gate with a small circle on the output. The small circle represents inversion.
    EXOR gate
      
    The 'Exclusive-OR' gate is a circuit which will give a high output if either, but not both, of its two inputs are high.  An encircled plus sign () is used to show the EOR operation.
    EXNOR gate
      
    The 'Exclusive-NOR' gate circuit does the opposite to the EOR gate. It will give a low output if either, but not both, of its two inputs are high. The symbol is an EXOR gate with a small circle on the output. The small circle represents inversion.

    The NAND and NOR gates are called universal functions since with either one the AND and OR functions and NOT can be generated.
    Note:
    A function in sum of products form can be implemented using NAND gates by replacing all AND and OR gates by NAND gates.
    A function in product of sums form can be implemented using NOR gates by replacing all AND and OR gates by NOR gates.
    Table 1: Logic gate symbols

    Table 2 is a summary truth table of the input/output combinations for the NOT gate together with all possible input/output combinations for the other gate functions. Also note that a truth table with 'n' inputs has 2n rows. You can compare the outputs of different gates.
    Table 2: Logic gates representation using the Truth table
     

    'Example' Example

    A NAND gate can be used as a NOT gate using either of the following wiring configurations.

                                            (You can check this out using a truth table.)



    'Problem' Problem

    Draw the circuit diagrams like the ones in the example above to show how a NOR gate can be made into a NOT gate.
