(open access at Springerlink.com, 2006-09-26)Abstract SMS is a widely used technology globally and may also improve ART adherence, yet SMS notifications to social supporters following real-time detection of missed doses showed no clear benefit in a recent pilot ... -
Types and priorities of multi-agent system interactions
(Interdisciplinary Description of Complex Systems, 2010-06-30)Multi-Agent Systems may be classified as containing No Direct Interactions, Simple Interactions or Complex, Conditional Interactions between agents. This paper argues and illustrates that models with simple interactions, ... -
An Empirical Study of the Evolution of Eclipse Third-party Plug-ins
(International Workshop on Principles of Software Evolution (IWPSE), 2010-09)Since the inception of Lehman's software evolution laws in the early 1970s, they have attracted significant attention from the research community. However, to our knowledge, no study of applicability of these laws on the ... -
Evaluating the computer-assisted HIV/AIDs education intervention implemented in school’s in Uganda
(University of Manchester, 2011)Over 29 years into the epidemic, fighting HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), the virus that causes AIDS (Acquired, Immune, Deficiency, Syndrome) continues to be a global concern. School-based computer-assisted HIV/AIDS ... -
A Studio Based Approach to Enhancing Decision Making in Sme Start-Up
(In 7th International Conference On Computing and ICT Research, 2011)The start-up phase plays an important role in the success and survival of many enterprises, which greatly depends on adequate and timely services for decision making. However, deciding to startup a mining Small and Medium ... -
An Approach for Agent-Based Modeling Using AiC+
(International Journal of Computing and ICT Research., 2011-12)In this paper, we present AiC+, an extension of the AiC framework designed for the explanation of human actions especially in the environmental field. We use first order logics to describe the semantics used to explain the ... -
A Controlled Pre-Post Evaluation of a Computer-based HIV/AIDS Education on Students’ Sexual Behaviors, Knowledge and Attitudes
(Online Journal of Public Health Informatics, 2012)Unlike traditional approaches to sexuality and HIV education which can be constrained by the sensitive nature of the subject, Information Technology (IT) can be an innovative teaching tool that can be used to educate people ... -
Survival of Eclipse Third-party Plug-ins
(International Conference on Software Maintenance (ICSM), 2012)Today numerous software systems are being developed on top of frameworks. In this study, we analyzed the survival of 467 Eclipse third-party plug-ins altogether having 1,447 versions. We classify these plug-ins into two ... -
Contextual Mediators influencing the Effectiveness of Behavioural Change Interventions: A Case of HIV/AIDS Prevention Behaviours
(Online Journal of Public Health Informatics, 2012)Background: Although Uganda had recorded declines in HIV infection rates around 1990’s, it is argued that HIV/AIDS risk sexual behavior, especially among the youth, started increasing again from early 2000. School-based ... -
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY-MEDIATED ISSUES IN SEXUAL HEALTH AND HIV/AIDS EDUCATION
(EJISDC, 2012)Literature on the usefulness of IT-assisted HIV/AIDS interventions especially in the African setting is scarce. This leaves little to nothing known about the benefits of IT-assisted HIV interventions from the experience ... -
Evaluating the Adoption of Electronic Health Records (EHR) in Referral Hospitals, Uganda
(International Journal of Scientific Knowledge Computing and Information Technology, 2012)Electronic health record is a response that covers the need of all engaged parties including patients, doctors, clinical staff, insurance companies, health care providers and policy makers by providing timely information. ... -
Decision Enhancement Services for Small and Medium Enterprise Start-ups in Uganda
(45th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2012)While start-up firms create a substantial economic impact on most economies, the failure rate of start-up firms seems to remain high due to inadequate agile decision services. Deciding to start-up mining Small and Medium ... -
Candidate Base Stations a Security Solution For Compromised Base Stations In Wireless Sensor Networks
(College of Computer and Communication, Hunan University, P. R. China, 2013)Wireless sensor networks heavily rely on base stations for data processing and routing within the network itself and the outside world. Considerably less attention has been put on the security of base stations in comparison ... -
Scheduling and optimization of traffic lights on a T junction using a wireless sensor network
