Measuring Computing Research Excellence and Vitality
(Fountain Publishers, 2006)Measuring computing excellence and vitality has become an important approach to understanding sustainable information and communication technology (ICT) for societal transformation and development around the world. In ... -
A Methodology for Feature Selection in Named Entity Recognition
(Fountain Publishers, 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 ... -
On Efficient Distribution of Data in Multicast Networks: QoS in Scalable Networks
(Springer, 2005)Multimedia applications or real-time applications such as audio and video on demand, teleconferencing and whiteboard sharing require Quality of Service (QoS) guarantee assurance. QoS constraints, namely required bandwidth, ... -
On the Convergence of an Inexact Primal-Dual Interior Point Method for Linear Programming
(Springer, 2005)The inexact primal-dual interior point method which is discussed in this paper chooses a new iterate along an approximation to the Newton direction. The method is the Kojima, Megiddo, andMizuno globally convergent ... -
Properties of Preconditioners for Robust Linear Regression
(Fountain Publishers, 2000)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 ... -
A Review of Termination Rules of an Inexact Primal-Dual Interior Point Method for Linear Programming Problems
(Investigación Operacional, 2018)In this paper we apply the Inexact Newton theory on the perturbed KKT-conditions that are derived from the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker optimality conditions for the standard linear optimization problem. We discuss different ... -
The Role of Academia in Fostering Private Sector Competitiveness in ICT Development
(International Journal of Computing and ICT Research, 2007)Increased adoption of eCommerce and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in the private sector often leads to expanded economic growth by opening new markets, increasing access to market information, and improving ... -
A Spatial Decision Support Tool for Landfill Site Selection: Case For Municipal Solid Waste Management
(Fountain Publishers, 2022)One of the problems faced worldwide is waste management. It involves several activities, which can be categorized into: collection, transportation and disposal of waste. Computerizing the processes involved in these ... -
A System Dynamics Model of Land-use Change for Climate Change Adaptation: The Case of Uganda
(Scitepress science and technology publications, 2021)System dynamics models in land use change are useful tools for understanding the cause and effect of land use changes, assessing the impacts of land use systems on the environment, and supports land use planning and ... -
Web Content Filtration according to context of use: Case Study of Accessibility Guidelines
(Fountain Publishers, 2009)In this paper, we propose an approach for filtering Web based content according to context of use based on user roles and other use case scenarios. The purpose of the filtration approach is to make such Web content easier ...
