InternShip
CMIC Internship program encourages a new generation of highly qualified persons to pursue a career in research and development; also helps increase the capacity of research in a way that involves Egyptian talents as well as providing university students an opportunity to gain on-the-job experience which supplements and modifies ideas gained from academic courses. CMIC in return benefit through gaining a more comprehensive understanding of the available talents in the research community in Egypt.
CMIC Internship is designed to assist undergraduate students the opportunity to maximize their educational potential and personal development experience during the program.

INTERNSHIP PROGRAM 2008: EASY WAY

In this paper we describe our invention ‘EasyWay’; an automated traffic prediction solution involving a mobile-based positioning technique, the developed approach can be applied for traffic estimation of certain paths on the map.
A Server runs 24-hours making all the calculations; sections’ average speeds, best paths, etc. It also creates the database of the personal profiles and sections database and updates both databases frequently.
A web service (web site) is made to interact with users allowing them to create their paths and show them the fastest and the shortest paths drawn on the ‘Windows Live Maps’. This web service is available through a computer or a mobile phone’s GPRS connection.
A mobile program is made to interact with the server through GPRS connection. The mobile program sends the CID and LAC to the server each time a handover occurs. This program is made such that the user can see all the alternative paths on a pre-cached map and view the statistics of traffic in all the paths.

INTERNSHIP PROGRAM 2007:

The current present technologies have allowed people to share video, music and image files in a variety of ways. Bluetooth is now one of the daily used technologies used to transfer a file between two mobile phones; however, there are situations when those files are captured and created during a social event by many users. In this situation, the several files are distributed over numerous mobile phones. For all of these files to be shared among the set of people in that event will require each of them to manually send all of them to each other or to classically upload them later on and send them via the Internet. This process wastes a great deal of time, in addition, doesn't guarantee the receiving of every file to every person who wants to have them.

BSpark will allow its users to use their Bluetooth enabled mobile phones to automatically share files immediately after they are created with other users. A room is created by one member, which will be referred to as a BlueRoom. Any BlueRoom member will be able to invite other members to join. Any member who creates a file in the room - for example captures an image - will have it instantaneously transferred to all the members of the room the moment it is captured. The introduction of this empowerment will save considerable time taken by people who want to share files to numerous destinations, needless to mention, it will achieve that on the spot thus preserving the essence of social events.
