Abstract This is an applied group project done by Joshua Tabu Shehe and Ernest Musyoki Museve. This report looks at the processes by which the web-based article management system called WriteWell is developed and implemented for the userside (front-end). This application will allow Eldoret Writers Centre writers to manage their own articles in an efficient way than what they are using currently. This report will look at the background information about Eldoret Writers Centre based in Eldoret ...
Abstract Producing software compels programmers to have in-depth knowledge of several programming languages, tools and frameworks. This time-consuming process demands dedication and mastery which are typically the foremost reasons most novice programmers give up a little into the software development process. This project seeks to eliminate learning programming languages and tools to create Android applications and reduce the time used in creating Android applications. This paper presents a c...
ABSTRACT Research shows that Africa’s growth in international Internet capacity outpaces all other regions of the world. Between 2014 and 2015, the internet bandwidth in Africa grew by 41% and by 51% when compounded annually over the past five (5) years ("Africa leads world in Internet growth | TechCentral", 2017). This has led to the proliferation of online applications and electronic commerce. This project seeks to develop an online auction application for the Ghanaian market in an effort...
Abstract Virtual Reality has been around since the 1960’s but it was a very expensive technology until Oculus and Google released the Oculus Rift and the Google Cardboard VR headset in 2015 respectively. These releases have made virtual reality more affordable and there has been an increase in apps and materials to develop content. The Virtual Chemistry Lab is a mobile application in VR that aims to allow to students simulate experiments in a virtual lab via the Google Cardboard. The focus ...
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY With increased competition in the hospitality industry, many hotels have had their fair share of struggles to be the number one option in their customer’s mind. Due to this competition, pricing is no longer an essential but rather quality services and experiences. With Tenack Beach Resort’s vision in upgrading its star rating by 2020, it is on course in improving its facilities and experiences, but through research, a gap in their services was discovered. The project was...
Abstract Businesses in Ghana do communicate with each other through letters, telephones, fax, and emails. Due to the growth of technology, most of these businesses are providing their services online to make it convenient for customers. However, these mediums of communication have some limitations when it comes to language. In the instance where the parties involved in the communication speak and understand different languages, it becomes difficult to understand. Businesses would like to reac...
ABSTRACT As the world increasingly progresses towards a technology driven environment, the legal sector is not to be left behind. In the past years, clients got to know about lawyers through recommendation and at the same time lawyers had a challenge reaching out to their clients. Work was slow and tedious as research was conducted on dusty and old textbooks. The basis of this project is to bridge the technology gap between the lawyers and advocates in Africa. Firms that deal with legal servi...
ABSTRACT Network Threat Management (NTM) is used to model and mitigate network threats classified as major-threats and minor-threats without exceeding Cost of Detection (CD), Time of Detection (TD) and False Positive Rate (FPR) limits. Existing network threat modelling and mitigation frameworks focused on major-threats because until recently, only major-threats are usually harmful, while minor-threats were perceived non-harmful. Recent studies however have shown that some minor-threats are h...
ABSTRACT Spatial qualification problem, an aspect of spatial reasoning, is concerned with the impossibility of knowing an agent‟s presence at a specific location and time. An agent‟s location determines its ability to carry out an action given its known spatial antecedents. There are sparse works on the formalisation of this problem. Qualitative reasoning approach is the most widely used approach for spatial reasoning due to its ability to reason with incomplete knowledge or reduced data...
Abstract As a middle income country, Ghana has made formidable strides in improving health care delivery in the country. Notable among them is the introduction of the Community Health and Planning Services system. This system was adopted to increase access to and use of health care services by setting up health centers known us CHPS zones in the remote communities where it is particularly difficult for Ghanaians to receive proper and timely medical attention. These health centers are manned b...
ABSTRACT Inventory management is key in every business setting. Proper inventory management helps businesses to reduce cost and maximize profit. Hence, this project seeks to design and build a user-friendly inventory management system that will work on a web platform to allow the staff of Dzigua Enterprise in Accra to key in inventory details for their various agricultural products. The staff should be able to key in inventory received and removed either for processing or sales to allow for t...
Abstract Examination writing in Ghana seems to be a location based process. This is so because most examinations taken, be it school exams or other external examinations, are taken at specific selected locations. If exams are to be taken in a school like Ashesi University for instance, there is a time table drawn which includes a course, date, time and place of the exam. The processes that precede it include typing and photocopying of questions which can use up a lot of paper, time and space ...
Abstract Ashesi University College recently acquired a TurtleBot1 robotic platform to experiment with service robotics on campus. This platform runs the Robotics Operating System (ROS)2 for developing robotics applications. This MOLAM project (Motion, Localization And Mapping) sought to build a fundamental framework that extends ROS functionalities on a TurtleBot to navigate autonomously around the Ashesi campus in Berekuso. The focus of this project was to extend the ROS enabled functionalit...
Abstract Automated machine learning holds a lot of promise to revolutionize and democratize the field of artificial intelligence. Neural architecture search is one of the main components of AutoML and is usually very computationally expensive. Autokeras is a framework that proposes a Bayesian optimization approach to neural architecture search in order to make it more efficient [8]. AutoKeras suffers from two major limitations: (i) the lack of support for parallel Bayesian optimization, which...
ABSTRACT Computer Role-Playing Games (CRPG) are a genre of video games were the player controls at least one character, the character has attributes and relationships with other game objects and is important to the story. They are one of many entertainment media that have storytelling as one of its major components. The better the story component of a game the better the gameplay experience is. This project explores an approach to improving gameplay of RPG games by personalization of game sto...
