Acceptance of Self-Driving Cars in United Arab Emirates
Transportation industry witnessing a revolution of the emerging of self-driving cars which are autonomous vehicles that drive by itself without human involvement. It is expected that self-driving cars would have powerful feature and would provide a lot of benefits such as reducing traveling time, reducing traffic jams, reducing car accidents and many other benefits. The government of United Arab Emirates adopt technology implementation in all life aspects in the country starting by turning into smart government and then smart education and many other implementations of using technology in different aspects of the country. This adoption of technology positively affected UAE people’s intention toward accepting technology. As UAE government always adopt best technology practices, it is expected that United Arab Emirates would adopt the using of autonomous cars. The aim of this research paper is to investigate UAE people’s intention to turn into using self-driving cars. Researcher aim as well to explore the most common factors that may affect people’s intention to turn into using self-driving cars. This research paper methodology based on quantitative methods for gathering data in which questionnaire developed and sent to people live in United Arab Emirates.
On Systems of Systems Engineering: Online Distance Education Systems Key Challenges
Technology development have affected educational delivery around the world. The utilization and implementation of online learning is rising at a staggering manner. Online Distance learning has become an urgent need recently. The use of distance learning has appeared in the past ten years, the learning has been extended by the technology from classrooms in the schools into online learning.

Although the online learning has been implemented years ago, still it faces challenges. The author of this research paper aim to explore the key challenges that reported while implementing Online Distance Education System as Systems of Systems. The author then outlines research agenda that identifies 11 research themes that can be considered as a solution for the current Online Distance Education System implementations challenges.
