25. A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK FOR IMPLEMENTING CLOUD ERP SYSTEM IN A DEVELOPING COUNTRY LOCAL GOVERNMENT: A CASE OF UGANDA

Emerging Technologies

Research Paper

Increased demand for efficiency and effectiveness in service delivery has made the implementation of information systems and the demand for access to real time information no longer a requirement unique to private sector or large public sector entities. Local government entities like municipalities are also challenged to provide services with similar efficiency and effectiveness. Successful...

16. A Scalable Zigbee WPAN for waterflow Telemetry

Emerging Technologies

Poster

Water and Sewerage service providers in Africa have encountered challenges in proficient collection of water billing data from customer’s meters. This necessitates the need to implement a proper data collection mechanism that can be implemented remotely, effortlessly, and accurately. A Zigbee WPAN-to-WAN solution for water meter data collection is thus a viable solution. The objective was to...

5. A SERIAL NUMBER BASED IDENTIFICATION MODEL FOR A COMPUTER IN A WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK

Emerging Technologies

Research Paper

With today’s technological evolution, wireless networks have become very common for organizations, homes and public places. Besides, wireless devices seem to fill our daily lives with wireless "hotspots" emerging almost everywhere both in offices, airports, cyber cafes, sports venues and even in coffee shops. For any device to be authenticated and authorised to use any of the wireless network...

26. A Web Based Inter Institution Model for Lecturer’s Teaching Workload Monitoring in Kenyan Institutions of Higher Learning

Emerging Technologies

Research Paper

Part-time lecturing is a familiar engagement that many lecturers in Kenya undertake. Lecturers are assigned lectures in multiple independent learning institutions and there is no platform to foster inter-university communication regarding the shared lecturers’ employment state, tenure and lecturing obligations. Commission for University Education has guidelines set to limit the maximum...
