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 ... -
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 ... -
Generalized association rule mining using genetic algorithms.
(Fountain Publisher Kampala, 2008)We formulate a general Association rule mining model for extracting useful information from very large databases. An interactive Association rule mining system is designed using a combination of genetic algorithms and a ... -
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 ... -
Extraction of interesting association rules using genetic algorithms
(Fountain Publishers, Kampala, 2007)The process of discovering interesting and unexpected rules from large data sets is known as association rule mining. The typical approach is to make strong simplifying assumptions about the form of the rules, and limit ... -

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 ... -
Subscriber mobility modeling in wireless networks
(Fountain Publishers Kampala, 2007)In this paper, a simplified model for user mobility behavior for wireless networks is developed. The model takes into account speed and direction of motion, the two major characteristics of user mobility. A user mobility ... -
Computational Identification of Transposable Elements in the Mouse Genome
(Fountain Publisher Kampala, 2007)Repeat sequences cover about 39 percent of the mouse genome and completion of sequencing of the mouse genome [1] has enabled extensive research on the role of repeat sequences in mammalian genomics. This research covers ... -
Service Oriented Telecom Architectures for Enabling Innovative Mobile Services
(Fountain Publishers Kampala, 2008)Future networks are characterized by convergence at different technological and service levels. Convergence of fixed and mobile network is a trend that is used to develop service oriented communication networks. This paper ... -
