Using JAD to Bridge the Design-Reality Gaps; a Major Cause of ISProjects’ Failures in the Developing Countries; in the proceedings of The 2 nd AnnualInternational Conference on Sustainable ICT Capacity in Developing Countries, MakerereUniversity, Kampala, Uganda 6 - 9 August 2006.
(School of Computing and Informatics, 2006)Information Systems (IS) projects failure is ‘a gap between what the users expect from an IS and how well these expectations are met by the perceived performance of the delivered system’. IS projects fail more than they ... -
A Framework for Predicting Droughts in DevelopingCountries Using Sensor Networks and Mobile Phones
(School of Computing and Informatics, 2010)Drought is the most complex and least understood of all naturaldisasters and it affects more people than any other hazard.Droughts have become synonymous with the developingcountries and in particular the Sub-Saharan Africa ... -
A SYSTEMS THINKING FRAMEWORK FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE INTRANSNATIONAL EDUCATION - THE CASE OF KENYA
(School of Computing and Informatics, 2011)Research has shown that transnational education is growing rapidly, but this growth has not beenaccompanied by effective quality assurance mechanisms. Given the complex nature of transnationaleducation, especially in its ... -
A Framework for Integrating Indigenous Knowledge With Wireless Sensors in Predicting Droughts in Africa. In Proceedings Indigenous Knowledge Technology Conference 2011
(School of Computing and Informatics, 2011)Unlike in other parts of the world, droughts are the leading natural disasters in Africa; they account for over 90% of effects perpetuated by natural disasters. The problem is compounded by the fact that droughts form a ... -
The Role Of ICTs In Quantifying The Severity And Duration Of Climatic Variations – Kenya’s Case
(School of Computing and Informatics, 2011)For the last 2 decades, Kenya has consistently contributed the highest number of people affected by natural disasters in Africa. This is especially so for disasters triggered by climatic variations. The Kenya Meteorological ... -
