Application of a Class of Preconditioners to Large Scale Linear Programming Problems
(Springer, 1999)In most interior point methods for linear programming, a sequence of weighted linear least squares problems are solved, where the only changes from one iteration to the next are the weights and the right hand side. The ... -
Generalized Association Rule Mining Using Genetic Algorithms
(Fountain Publishers, 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 ... -
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-enabled Services: A Critical Analysis of the Opportunities and Challenges in Uganda
(Fountain Publishers, 2008)Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs), broadly defined, facilitate by electronic means the creation, storage, management and dissemination of information. ICT is both a vehicle for communication and a means ... -
The Impact of Equal Weighting of Low and High-Confidence Observations on Robust Linear Regression Computations
(BIT Numerical Mathematics, 2001)Equal weighting of low- and high-confidence observations occurs for Huber, Talwar, and Barya weighting functions when Newton’s method is used to solve robust linear regression problems. This leads to easy updates and/or ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
