The Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) algorithm meets the requirements for multimedia encryption since the encipher operation of the ECC algorithm is applied at points only and that offer significant computational advantages. The encoding/decoding operations for converting the text message into points on the curve and vice versa are not always considered a simple process. In this paper, a new mapping method has been investigated for converting the text message into a point on the curve or point to a text message in an efficient and secure manner; it depends on the repeated values in coordinate to establish a lookup table for encoding/ decoding operations. The proposed method for mapping process is composed of various operations; firstly, the Exclusive OR and Circular Shift are performed on the message to enhance the diffusion property and that lead increasing the strength against cryptanalysis attack. Secondly, both parties agree on domain parameters for creating the elliptic curve and the mechanism to build the lookup table for encoding/decoding process. Thirdly, the base point is selected for generating all (x, y) pair points of the elliptic curve and extract – coordinate values
to calculate the maximum value for and its frequency to create the lookup table.
Finally, applying encoding/decoding operation for the message. The results of the proposed method are considered more efficient, secure and less time consuming compared with the ECC algorithm, besides it's suitable for preserving the confidentiality for real-time applications.

Factors affecting global virtual teams’ performance in software projects
Today the trend is to perform software development work via distributed geographical area among team
individual or even as an organization. However
due to the global market and international presence of many companies
there is a need to implement a global virtual teams. The global virtual team members are gradually engaged in globalized business environments across space
time and organizational boundaries via information and communication technologies. A global virtual team relies on communication
collaboration
and information exchange are the most important criteria in global virtual teams’ operations. The purpose of this paper is to answer two research questions. The first research question is to identify the factors affecting global virtual teams’ performance. A systematic literature review was conducted to answer the first research question. The second research question is on what the rank of the factor affecting the global virtual teams’ performance according to their level of effect on global virtual teams’ performance. Online survey was conducted within 103 developers and IT managers from eight IT companies to answer the second research question. The Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS 22) was used to analyze the collected data. In this study
we investigated factors that affect global virtual teams’ performance
factors considered include cultural differences
language problems
time-zone differences
team size
technical problems
lack of trust
lack of sufficient training
and ICT problems. Also the findings indicated that lack of sufficient training is the highest level of effect on global virtual teams’ performance. On the other hand
team size is the lowest level of effect on global virtual teams’ performance. © 2005 - 2016 JATIT & LLS. All rights reserved.

Financial markets liquidity and their impact in the return of common stocks
The research aimed to study the financial markets liquidity and returns of common stocks
Take the research the theoretical concepts associated with each of the liquidity of financial markets and returns of common stocks
As well as the use of mathematical methods in the practical side to measure market liquidity and Stocks Return
the community of research in listed companies in Iraqi stock exchange that have been trading on its stock and number 85 joint-stock company
The research was based to one premise
there is a statistically significant effect for the liquidity of the Iraqi stock exchange on returns of common stocks to traded companies in which
Using the SPSS program was to test the hypothesis research population represented Iraq Stock Exchange for a period of three years (2010-2012) on a monthly basis. The research found the set of conclusions most important rising market liquidity for Iraq Stock Exchange and followed increase in return of common stocks for a period of research
as the results of statistical analysis indicated the presence of a statistically significant effect of moral Iraq Stock Exchange liquidity on returns of common stocks
and most important recommendations should the Iraq Stock Exchange work to expand its activities in electronic trading
by providing the possibility of trading for investors through the Internet
and not limited to trading within the market
and should work to reduce the transaction costs to raise the liquidity common stock
and thus reflect positively on the liquidity of the Iraq Stock Exchange brokerage firms associated with it .
