A Comprehensive Comparative Study of Word and Sentence Similarity MeasuresIssa Atoum, Ahmed Otoom, Narayanan Kulathuramaiyer
Sentence similarity is considered the basis of many natural language tasks such as information retrieval, question answering and text summarization. The semantic meaning between compared text fragments is based on the words semantic features and their relationships. This article reviews a set of word and sentence similarity measures and compares them on benchmark datasets.

An Implementation Framework (IF) for the National Information Assurance and Cyber Security Strategy (NIACSS) of JordanAhmed Otoom, Issa Atoum
This paper proposes an implementation framework that lays out the ground for a coherent, systematic, and comprehensive approach to implement the National Information Assurance and Cyber Security Strategy (NIACSS) of Jordan. The Framework 1). Suggests a methodology to analyze the NIACSS, 2). Illustrates how the NIACSS analysis can be utilized to design strategic moves and develop an appropriate functional structure, and 3). proposes a set of adaptable strategic controls that govern the NIACSS implementation and allow achieving excellence, innovation, efficiency, and quality.The framework, if adopted, is expected to harvest several advantages within the following areas: information security implementation management, control and guidance, efforts consolidation, resource utilization, productive collaboration, and completeness. The framework is flexible and expandable; therefore, it can be generalized.
