Trends in social engineering attacks in the UAE. In this first assignment, students, individually, are requested to investigate the field of R&D in UAE while identifying the current trends, challenges, priorities as well as building a roadmap for the near future. You can draw a big picture of UAE R&D in the field of IT or a small picture, mainly focusing on a very narrow and specific topic.

We will be focusing this term on e-government and e-services that are paving the road for smart cities and smart governments.

You should consider the entire UAE R&D eco-systems, including all stakeholders engaged in the creation, design, engineering, funding, management, and uses of e-governmental services, systems, and services. This includes citizens (final users of the services and systems), governmental agencies, IT companies providing the IT logistics (data clusters, software producers), startups (creating new services), funding agencies, as well as those doing research (from fundamental to very applied), also training clusters. What is and Why E-government and services. It promises to move a lot of citizen-government transactions online.

When it is fully functional, citizens no longer must show up in person waiting a long time to get or submit forms, apply for benefits, or permits, or make payments when the government offices open from 9 to 5.
