AUEIRC’18 enabled undergraduate, graduate, and Ph.D. students from different academic
institutions to participate in the conference and share their research achievements with an
international community of academics and industry experts. Ten papers in total have been
presented during the first day as part of the Master/Ph.D. session. Two papers presented by
postgraduate students received the Best Paper Award: Ms. Noha Abd El-Rahman from British
University in Egypt (BUE), Ph.D. student, for her research paper: “The Assurance of Sustainability Reporting: An Extra Fee or A Guarantee”, and Ms. Wafa Aldamegh from Imam
Muhammad Ibn Saud Islamic University (Saudi Arabia), Master student, for her research
paper: “T-Mix a Threshold Based Cryptography Mixing Service Based on Mixcoin”.
Overall, AUEIRC’18 was a high-quality event with remarkable success, although you must
judge this matter for yourselves. We are optimistic that you will enjoy reading the collection of
papers included in this book.
