(In Optical Fiber Communication Conference, 2017)Emerging applications such as high definition video streaming and cloud computing are the main drivers for the user-driven increase in the Internet traffic for the past few years. This has led to an increase in the ... -
Acceptance and Use of Electronic Library Services in Ugandan Universities
(ACM/IEEE-CS joint conference, 2008)University libraries in Developing Countries (DCs), hampered by developmental problems, find it hard to provide electronic services. Donor communities have come in to bridge this technology gap by providing funds to ... -
An Accurate Indoor User Position Estimator For Multiple Anchor UWB Localization
(IEEE, 2020)UWB-based positioning systems have been proven to provide a significant high level of accuracy hence offering a huge potential for a variety of indoor applications. However, the major challenges related to UWB localization ... -
Adding Value Every Sprint: A Case Study on Large-Scale Continuous Requirements Engineering
(WS on Continuous Requirements Engineering, 2017)Agile development practices, such as continuous integration and continuous delivery, promise value through shorter time to market and increased exibility. While these practices have been widely adopted in small-scale, ... -
ADSMS: Anomaly Detection Scheme for Mitigating Sink Hole Attack in Wireless Sensor Network
(IEEE, 2017)In past years, mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) widespread use in many applications, including for some mission-critical applications, and has become one of the major concerns such as security MANETs. MANETs due to some ... -
An Algorithm for Geo-Spatial Objects Adjustment
(Advances in Geomatics Research (, 2015)GIS practitioners always integrate geo-spatial data from different sources using map-overlay operations in order to make decisions and solve queries that deal with multiple layers. But they are always faced with openings ... -
Analyzing the Eclipse API Usage: Putting the Developer in the Loop
(IEEE, 2013)Eclipse guidelines distinguish between two types of interfaces provided to third-party developers, i.e., APIs and non-APIs. APIs are stable and supported, while non-APIs are unstable, unsupported and discouraged as they ... -
ANN-based Stride Detection Us ing Smartphones for Pedestrian Dead Reckoning
(IEEE, 2018)Position awareness is a very important issue for internet of thing (IoT) applications using smartphones. Pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) is one of the methods used to estimate a user’s indoor position. The accuracy of ... -
Application of Response Surface Methodology for Optimizing Tensile Strength of Rice Husk Fiber-Reinforced Polylactic Acid Composites
(MDPI, 2021)Filler/fiber loading and surface modification significantly influence tensile properties of natural fiber-reinforced plastic composites. It is therefore pertinent that they are suitably selected in order to yield the optimum ... -
Approaches Towards Effective Knowledge Management for Small and Medium Enterprises in Developing Countries - Uganda
(IIMC International Information Management Corporation, 2009)In developing countries, many Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) collapse due to complex factors. Knowledge shortage and fragmented information are their key challenges as a result of obsolete technology and exposure. ... -
Automated image-based diagnosis of cowpea diseases
(AGILE, 2018)Cowpea is the third most important legume food crop in Uganda with the eastern and northern regions accounting for most of the production in the country. However, it is vulnerable to virus and fungal diseases, which threaten ... -
A Bird’s Eye View of a Sustainable Learning Game Design
(Springer, Cham., 2021)We empirically explore learning games with an aim of empowering learners’ lifelong learning skills to enable them deal with complex situations sustainably. Learning is better by doing and the relation between learning ... -
Blockchain-Oriented Software Variant Forks: A Preliminary Study
(IEEE, 2022)In collaborative social development platforms such as GitHub, forking a repository is a common activity. A variant fork wants to split the development from the original repository and grow towards a different direction. ... -
Can We Find Stable Alternatives For Unstable Eclipse Interfaces?
(IEEE, 2016)The Eclipse framework is a popular and widely adopted framework that has been evolving for over a decade. Like many other evolving software systems, the Eclipse framework provides both stable and supported interfaces ... -
Catching up with Method and Process Practice: An Industry-Informed Baseline for Researchers
(IEEE, 2019)Software development methods are usually not applied by the book. Companies are under pressure to continuously deploy software products that meet market needs and stakeholders’ requests. To implement efficient and ... -
Challenges of Aligning Requirements Engineering and System Testing in Large-Scale Agile: A Multiple Case Study
(IEEE, 2017)As agile methods become more pervasive, agile practices are applied to more large-scale systems with a scope that goes beyond pure software. The expansion of agile in these contexts provides benefits, but creates new ... -
Classification and Measure of Quantitative Difference between Polyester and Cotton Fabrics Based on Sensory Analysis
(FLINS, 2016)In this study we compare cotton and polyester (Polyethylene terephthalate) (PET) sensory attributes, as a precursor for sensory modification of polyester, for cotton replacement. We systematically identify the key sensory ... -
Classifying Desirable Features of Software Visualization Tools for Corrective Maintenance
(ACM symposium on Software visualization, 2008)We provide an evaluation of 15 software visualization tools applicable to corrective maintenance. The tasks supported as well as the techniques used are presented and graded based on the support level. By analyzing user ... -
Clone-Based Variability Management in the Android Ecosystem
(IEEE, 2018)Abstract—Mobile app developers often need to create variants to account for different customer segments, payment models or functionalities. A common strategy is to clone (or fork) an existing app and then adapt it to ... -
Co-evolution of the Eclipse SDK Framework and its Third-party Plug-ins
(IEEE, 2013)Today, when constructing a new software system, many developers build their systems on top of frameworks. Eclipse framework is one such popular and widely adopted framework that has been evolving for over a decade. ...
