ABSTRACT Over time, payment systems have been changing, this started with Trade by barter and now the era of electronic wallet. “Wallet” in the conventional sense of the term, refers to a purse or folding case for safely holding money. An electronic wallet refers to a digital way of holding money. This system also provides users with the features of making different kinds of payments on campus and also has a campus E-commerce platform attached to it. This is aimed at promoting cashless p...
ABSTRACT The application of Near Field Communication (NFC) technology in every part of the world today has tremendously improved efficiency and effectiveness regarding security. The use of this technology in the healthcare system has taken the area to greater heights of confidence and reliability, especially for medical personnel, as well as the patients. This project focuses on helping dependent people live their lives more productively by helping them manage their lives better. With this a...
ABSTRACT Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) formalism is a Modeling and Simulation (M&S) framework that provides a means of specifying systems. It separates a model from its simulator. The former describes the structure and the behavior of a system, while the later generates the trajectories of these descriptions. P-DEVS (Parallel DEVS) is the version of DEVS that allows one to express at the modelling level, the parallelism present in a system. Though the algorithm is well defined, ...
ABSTRACT Adebayo Gbenga Waliyi: Study and implementation of Wireless Sensor Network to Manage Energy in a Smart Home. (Under the direction of Ousmane Thiare) Many studies have shown that smart homes can use energy more efficiently than traditional buildings. Thus, several researchers have advocated building a smart home in order to reduce energy consumption. In the literature, Wireless Sensor Network is adopted as the dominant technology for every proposed smart home . In this thesis I expl...
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), is composed of several spatially distributed nodes, and connected to one or more sensors, which monitor a large physical environment. The nodes (wireless devices) are typically small in size and capable of performing sensing, on-board processing, communication and storage. WSNs [1] offer economically viable solutions for a variety of applications such as current implementations to monitor factory instrumentation, pollution levels, freeway traffic, and the struct...
ABSTRACT Deep Neural Networks are now deployed for many modern artificial Intelligence applications including computer vision, speech recognition, self-driving cars, cancer detection, gaming and robotics. Inspired by the mammalian visual cortex, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been shown to achieve impressive results on a number of computer vision challenges, but often with large amounts of processing power and no timing restrictions. Software simulations of CNNs are an efficient ...
ABSTRACT Fault diagnosis, isolation and restoration from failure are crucial for maintenance and reliability of equipment.
Advances in several key communication and information technologies are worth tracking for their impact on interactive health communication and ability to meet .customers' demands. One of these technologies is the inte1net. It is based on this that this research work is cal1'ied out to dete1mine the level at which the internet has been able to improve the delivery of healthcare services in the healthcare delivery system in Nigeria. An explanatory research methodology was adopted in the c...
Abstract Biometric systems have overtime served as robust security mechanisms in various domains. Fingerprints are the oldest and most widely used form of biometric identification. A critical step in exploring its advantages is to adopt it for use as a form of security in already existing systems, such as vehicles. This research work focuses on the use of fingerprints for vehicle ignition, as opposed to the conventional method of using keys. The prototype system could be divided into the foll...
The whole idea of World Wide Web (WWVV) was born out of the desire that information should be shared. Presently WWW is really information domain. Today, users of the Web can easily access this information by specifying URI addresses, searching, and following links to find other related resources, but, in some cases users are taken to an irrelevant site. Another limitation of WWW is that the information can only be understood and interpreted by human being, it is difficult for machine to...
ABSTRACT This thesis discusses the difficulties older users encounter with Smartphones and tablets. It goes further to discuss the possible reasons for these difficulties and also suggests a solution in form of an application which will help to improve intuitiveness in the above mentioned devices for older users.
Abstract Public health surveillance is a challenge across the globe. Unexpected disease outbreaks occur even though we have vast knowledge in the field of medicine. Also not being able to forecast the next set of diseases to be reported keeps our medical practitioners less prepared. This problem is heightened in low-income countries that cannot afford the infrastructure that comes with ubiquitous computing methods including Machine Learning on a national scale. There is also a notion that su...
Abstract The modern-day automobile is no longer just an analog and mechanical entity. Currently, the most basic of vehicular functions have been computerized. The dedicated hardware assigned to these tasks are electronic control units (ECU). Automobiles consist of a number of ECUs networked together to ensure proper functioning of the vehicle. The overall safety of the vehicle relies on real-time communication between the ECUs. Intra-vehicular communication is possible because of the Controll...
Abstract The advent of mobile gaming brought about a new age of how video games are regarded in the context of mobility. Previously, a person would have to own a specialized gaming device that enabled them play on the move. Devices such as the PlayStation Portable and Nintendo’s series of GameBoy devices made this a possibility. However, mobile games have always offered a constraint on the type of interactions they offer players. A mobile game is only as enjoyable as the quality of informat...
ABSTRACT The ability to observe current trends in health information and predict the future health status of a country is an important goal of health service institutions. Health information systems are used to accumulate, validate and examine data in order to provide information which is used in the formation of health policies. The fast growth and integration of databases means health scientists now have a huge resource that can be studied to make inferences and reveal valuable trends. Dev...
