It is therefore necessary to note that if congestion in a network is not isolated then there will be an inevitable crash of the network. In this work, KPI of Self-Organized Network (SON) is critically reviewed, a congestion monitoring system for GSM was designed to illustrate the number of calls the system receives per day and this is recorded on daily bases to ascertain the level of congestion. The paper proposed and designed a system that monitors congestion in a network as a mean of network sustenance and also looked at SON as an optimization technique.

Human Computer interaction (HCI), which is about communication between human user and computer system or devices is a field of computer science that is gaining a lot of recognition in the improvement of human abilities. The communication between a person or user and the computer may involve certain device, medium or channel that has to be configured or programmed in a way that will facilitate an efficient interaction. Wireless sensors in HCI enhances and improves the way of life and the interaction in a wide variety of domains Therefore, it is important to know the specifications of these sensors and how they are being used in order to create human computer interfaces, which tackle complex tasks. This paper comprehensively carried out an overview of wireless sensors and HCI, security requirements and challenges of wireless sensors and how wireless sensors interrelate with HCI to improve human abilities in their daily activities. Finally, a brief discussion on the future of sensors in HCI is presented.

The normal procedure of allocating hostels at Babcock University involves selecting the preferred hostel online via the UMIS (University management information system) portal while the procedure for selecting rooms involves students showing up physically in school with their evidence of school fees payment. Due to these, it is undeniable that it is extremely time-consuming with an unreliable method of storing relevant documents and requires a lot of human resources. This proposed hostel management system is a web application developed using C# programming language. This application includes a module that finds missing items, a module for hostel registration and also a module for giving feedback. In conclusion the model has made managing the affairs of the hostel easy.

This study used information on local indicators of seasonal weather prediction and mean monthly rainfall and temperature record (1981-2017) from Nguru weather station located at Latitude 14°N in achieving the aim of the study. Both qualitative and quantitate (descriptive and inferential) statistical tools were employed in analysing the collected data. The study found that the local population of the study area used meteorological indicators in predicting the seasonal weather. The results of the analysis revealed that the variability of the annual rainfall during the study period was large. An increasing trend of 3.1mm annually was observed. While decreasing trend in the cold, dry and hot dry season temperature and an increasing trend in warm moist temperature by 0.025°C, 0.05°C and 0.0004°C respectively, was obs...

In this paper, we propose a QoE hexagram model that comprises six Key Quality Indicators (KQI). In this model, we introduced an additional KQI, Terminal Quality. Other new metrics like Packet Corruption Rate and Service Access Time were also incorporated. Furthermore, several experiments were conducted by introducing disturbances using the NetEm tool. The QoE value obtained from our model is an indication of the overall acceptability of the applications and services as perceived subjectively by the end users.

Wireless Sensor Network application in health care is divided into two (2) wearable and implantable sensor devices. These devices allows for the monitoring and tracking of patients’ health status. Security and privacy are issues that arise from the use of these applications. The use of sensor networks for healthcare monitoring has a lot of benefits; so therefore, it is of necessity that these issues are addressed. This paper gives a survey on the security and privacy issues faced with the use of WSNs for healthcare monitoring.

The 3D Internet is poised to replace the 2D Internet as we know it today. This paper takes a look at the two types of Internet, advantages and disadvantages and the future of the present Internet as we know it.

It has revolutionized the mainstream healthcare and healthcare delivery system. This paper applies the principle of Health Informatics to addressing the detection and management of arboviruses particularly Zika and Dengue viruses around which the aetiology of Zika Virus Disease and Dengue fever revolves. In this paper, the object-oriented approach was employed to study the fundamental procedures in the detection and management of arboviral infections. The study culminated into modelling of knowledge-based prototype system for screening patients in incidence areas. Existing knowledge on the management of arbovirus infections was complemented with purposive sampling of two specialist infectious diseases facilities in Nigeria. The health informatics prototype is christened NCliniSoft Diagnostic ZikaSol and is composed of five components validated through expert-driven differential diagnostic procedures. The prototype was evaluated to test for usability, diagnostic consistency, user acceptance and satisfaction. The prototype performs a differential screening between Dengue fever and Zika Virus disease using the Bayesian probabilities complemented by situational constructs. The result of each screening process is an automated diagnostic report that shows the status of the patient. Computed result showed high level of efficiency and acceptability.

It is an approach through which many variables can resolve complex relationships among companies in the software industry. SECOs are gaining importance with the advent of the Google Android, Apple iOS, Microsoft and Salesforce.com ecosystems. It is a coinnovation approach by developers, software organisations, and third parties that share common interest in the development of the software technology. There are limited researches that have been done on SECOs hence researchers and practitioners are still eager to elucidate this concept. A systematic study was undertaken to present a review of software ecosystems to address the features, benefits and challenges of SECOs. This paper showed that open source development model and innovative process development were key features of SECOs and the main challenges of SECOs were security, evolution management and infrastructure tools for fostering interaction. Finally SECOs fostered co-innovation, increased attractiveness for new players and decreased costs

A number of integer linear program (ILP) solutions for this problem have been presented in the literature. Most of these ILPs minimize the number of wavelength links. A more appropriate metric, for wavelength routed, all-optical networks, is to minimize the congestion (the maximum number of lightpaths on a single fiber link) of the network. We present a new ILP formulation for routing and wavelength allocation, under the scheduled traffic model that minimizes the congestion of the network. We propose two levels of service, where idle backup resources can be used to carry low-priority traffic, under fault-free conditions. When a fault occurs, and resources for a backup path need to be reclaimed, any low-priority traffic on the affected channels is dropped. The results demonstrate that this can lead to significant improvements over single service level models. We also show that the complexity of our formulation (in terms of the number of integer variables) is lower, even compared to existing approaches, which only allow a single level of service. Therefore, we are able to generate optimal solutions for practical networks within a reasonable amount of time, whereas existing formulations often do not find the optimal solution even after 2 h. Finally, we present a simple and fast heuristic that can quickly generate good solutions for much larger networks.
