Geometrical spatial dataintegration in geo-information management
(Fountain Publishers Kampala, 2007)Geospatial information systems provide users with both absolute and relative locations of objects and their associated attributes. Partly, and to achieve this, the users need to use different geospatial data sets from ... -
The greedy multi-cluster scheduler: performance bounds and parametric sensitivity
(IJCIR, 2007)Most schedulers in parallel job scheduling do not put (job) schedulability into consideration when prioritizing jobs. Performance evaluation is mostly done using average values of the measurement metric. Using the average ... -
Group-wise performance evaluation of processor co-allocation in multi-cluster systems
(Springer, 2007)Performance evaluation in multi-cluster processor co-allocation - like in many other parallel job scheduling problems - is mostly done by computing the average metric value for the entire job stream. This does not give a ... -
ICT as an engine for Uganda’s economic growth: the role of and opportunities for Makerere University
(Fountain Publishers Kampala, 2007)The use of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) to improve how goods are produced and services are delivered is a feature of everyday life in developed countries. If ICT is used appropriately, it has the ... -
ICT usage and its impact on profitability of SMEs in 13 African countries
(University of Southern California, Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, 2007)This article reports on a small and medium enterprise (SME) survey carried out by the ResearchICTAfrica (RIA) in 14 African countries. It argues that the negative return on investment reported in the literature can be ... -
Implementation of e-learnin in higher education institutions in low bandwidth environment: a blended learning approach
(Fountain Publishers Kampala, 2007)Higher Education around the world is becoming networked and fundamental changes are taking place in Higher Education Institutions. There is no geographical isolation at the university or college level. When Higher Education ... -
Improving QoS with MIMO-OFDM in future broadband wireless networks
(Fountain Publishers, Kampala., 2007)Designing very high speed wireless links that offer good quality-of-service (QoS) and range- capability in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments constitutes a significant research and engineering challenge. In this article, ... -
Knowledge management technologies and organizational business processes: integration for business delivery performance in Sub Saharan Africa
(Fountain Publishers, Kampala., 2007)To remain competitive, organizations must efficiently and effectively create, locate, capture, and share their organization’s knowledge and expertise. This increasingly requires making the organization’s knowledge explicit ... -
M-learning: The educational use of mobile communication devices
(Fountain publishers kampala, 2007)This is a position paper which explores the use of mobile communication devices in teaching and learning. We especially undertake a crosswalk around the fast evolving field of mobile learning with a view of positioning it ... -
A methodology for feature selection in named entity recognition
(Fountain Publishers Kampala, 2007)In this paper a methodology for feature selection in named entity recognition is proposed. Unlike traditional named entity recognition approaches which mainly consider accuracy improvement as the sole objective, the ... -
Not all visualizations are useful: the need to target user needs when visualizing object oriented software
(Fountain Publishers Kampala, 2007)”A picture is worth a thousand words”. In the software field, this is justified by the increasing research into software visualization. Pictures are increasingly being used to represent software code with many studies ... -
An ontological approach to domain modeling for MDA-oriented processes
(Fountain Publishers, Kampala, 2007)There exists a gap between objects which exist in the real world and the elements which represent them in a software system. This paper addresses this gap with a domain modeling process able to construct, manage, and ... -
Performance, fairness and effectiveness in space slicing multi-cluster schedulers
(ACTA Press, 2007)Parallel job schedulers have mostly been evaluated/compared using performance metrics. The deductions, however, can be misleading due to selective starvation. This calls for studies in scheduler fairness. Most studies have ... -
Properties of preconditioners for robust linear regression
(Fountain Publishers Kampala, 2007)In this paper, we consider solving the robust linear regression problem y = Ax + ∈ by an inexact Newton method and an iteratively reweighted least squares method. We show that each of these methods can be combined with ... -
Quest for knowledge and knowledge management in rural societies in Africa
(SCECSAL, 2007)To survive in a knowledge society, people ultimately engender a knowledge culture by grappling with information, knowledge and knowledge management: develop expertise, tools and resources in handling their knowledge. ... -
The role of academia in fostering private sector competitiveness in ICT development
(Fountain publishers kampala, 2007)This paper presents the prerequisite to producing computing graduates who have the skills required to fostering private sector competitiveness in information and communications technology development. Furthermore, the paper ... -
Security analysis of remote e-voting
(Fountain Publishers Kampala, 2007)In this paper, we analyze security considerations for a remote Internet voting system based on the system architecture of remote Internet voting. We examine whether it is feasible to successfully carry out remote ... -
