- ItemAnalysis and design of a website for organic products; a case of national organic agricultural movement of Uganda(Kampala international international: School of computing and Information technology, 2010-06) Andersen, Kirsten MarianneThis project has the purpose of making a website as a tool for advertising for NOGAMU, a shop that sells organic products. First the researcher contacted the manager of the establishment and asked permission to interview staff and customers alike and use NOGAMU as a case study. They were very cooperative and discussed at length the system they are using at present and how it works, A mail sent to prospective customers every week and it contains information about the products that are there at the particular time. They have the option of getting goods delivered if they want to save themselves the journey to Kabalagala and the heavy traffic on Ggaba Road. The customers and staff also expressed what they felt was relevant to include in the website. From the research it was established that although the current system is working well and the number of customers have been increasing, the advertising could be improved by a website. It will reach a wider audience and many people that did not know about NOGAMU will be able to get information about the products and services of the shop. The website has been designed with clear information about the shop, where it is located and what products are to be found in the shop. It also has some information about organic products in general and there is a link to a page that tells more about the background of the shop and about the organization of NOGAMU. The website combined with the mail and delivery service that is already being used by NOGAMU will be able to reach many more with information about the possibility of getting organic products from NOGAMU.
- ItemAn analysis of computer forensic activities in data network(Kampala International University, School of Computing and Information Technology, 2010-06) Olowo, Charles ObadiThe report summarizes that in this Information ‘i’echnology age, the needs of law enforcement are changing. Some traditional crimes, especially those concerning finance and commerce, continue to be upgraded teehnological1~. Paper trails have become electronic trails. Crimes associated v~. ith the the 11 and manipulations of data are detected daily. According to the website www.cyber crime.com, an attack is defined as any kind of malicious activity targetted against computer s~ stem resources. including,but not limited to. a break—in (any unathourised access), virus infestation, data or destruction, or distributed denial of service attacks. In addition, some sLiggest attackers are likely to strike in the midst of confusion that people expect with the arrival of the Year 2000 computer problem. ‘l’ribe and Trinoo also may be more powerful than previous programs of the same kind. The duo, which started appearing in recent months, are steps above ~~hat has happened before, according to Dave Dittrich, a computer security technician at the University of Washington who wrote analyses of the programs. When installed onto hundreds or thousands 01’ computers. the programs simultaneously bombard a select point on the Internet. If’ the information from the attackers comes fast enough, the target computel’ freezes up. Flooding attacks such as ‘l’ribe and ‘l’rinoo are examples of so-called denial of-service attacks, a method that’s been around as long as there have been networks to inundate. ‘[here is a critical need in the la~\ enfireement community to ensure the reliability of computer forensic tools. I he goal of’ the Computer l”orensic l’ool ‘l’esting (CJFTT) project at the National institute of Standards and ‘l’echnology (NISI’) is to establish a methodology for testing computer forensic software tools by development of general tool specifications, test procedures, test criteria, test sets. and test hardware. [‘he results provide the information necessary for toolmakers to improve tools, for users to make informed choices about acquiring and using computer forensics tools, and [or interested parties to understand the tools capabilities. A capability is required to ensure that forensic sof ~ are tools consistently produce accurate and objective test results. Our approach for testing computer forensic tools is based on well-recognized international methodologies for conformance testing and quality testing. The researcher used intervie~\. questionnaire. observation and internet and reading materials in order to analyze,collect, and to gather e~ idence of criminal activity which is admissible in a court of law

- ItemComparison of Proprietary Software and Open Source Software Case Study: Uganda Dot Net(Kampala International University, School of Computing and Information Technology, 2009-10) Buyonjo, Annie MercyProprietary software are programs whose licenses give the user permission to run them but are not allowed to share, alter or even redistribute them while Open Source Software/Free Software (OSS/FS), also abbreviated as FOSS (Free Open Source Software) licenses give users the freedom to run the program for any purpose, study, modify, and redistribute copies of either the original or modified program without having to pay royalties to previous developers. Proprietary software has been the most commonly used software among the public over the years though with the growth of the Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) industry, FOSS is a rapidly growing and commercially accepted alternative to proprietary software in the world. In Uganda, Proprietary software is the mostly used though FOSS is winning several users too, but most users do not purchase licenses for these software products and have little or no information about benefits or challenges of using either software. This research aims at correcting this problem by providing quantitative and qualitative results that users can use to compare software and thereby purchase appropriate programs for their organizations. Therefore the choice of OSS/FOSS and proprietary software is an issue whose importance cannot be ignored. Our research reveals that OSS/FOSS and proprietary performances depend on the context and situation. When it comes to this parameter, it is hard for one to conclusively say that FOSS or proprietary software is better. The research, however, reveals that FOSS is more reliable and more secure than the proprietary software.

- ItemDesign and development of automated records management system for Kabojja Junior School Library(Kampala International University,College of Computing and Information Technology, 2009-07) Makumbi, SulaimanThis research examined the challenges Kabojja Junior School (KJS) as learning Institution faces in managing the Library records and result production for students. At KJS, the current system of record keeping is mainly manual-based and hence making it vulnerable to loss or mixing of records, and sometimes leakages. Computerizing the Library records management was therefore target towards improving the existing current system to the new one that would keep records, and process electronically all Library documents for KJS. This would in turn lead towards obtaining timely, efficient, accurate, cost saving and error free students' Library records. The Library Record Management System (LRMS) is one of the most efficient systems that handle the Library records in terms of easy access to the records and also it is faster in the production of documents. A short needs assessment for the intended users of the computerized system at KJS was done through interviews. These were done to the selected group of the school administrators and Academic staff who included: the Principal, Director of Studies (DOS), Head teacher, Class teachers (5) and selected teachers (6). The main objective was to determine if the proposed computerized system would be considered important in improving the efficiency of the Library records management system currently in use. Results obtained showed that 87 .5 % of the total persons interviewed expressed the strong need for the automated system to be put in place. This computerized system now known as Kabojja Junior School Library Records Management System (KJSLRMS) was built on the MsAccess based network environment where computers running on the school's Local Area Network (LAN) was used in the study to cover the Library records capability. These client PCs were positioned in various offices that could access the network for the ease of record processing. For the system to run efficiently stable power supply should be in place. An experienced system manager is also required to help the management of the system. Trained users of the system will help in the smoothing running of the system. In future, the use of KJSLRMS could be expanded to computerize all the records at the school beyond the Library ones.

- ItemDesign and implementation of a database management system case study: sports view hotel(Kampala International University,School of Computing and Information Technology, 2009-05) Nandawula, MariaThe use of ICT offers great opp01iunities for improving the effectiveness and efficiency Of many businesses in the processes of caring out many transactions and in the processes disseminating information. Information and communication technologies can make great contributions to the improvement of business and the handling and management of information. This has made many companies that deal in a number of businesses to adopt ICT use. Unfortunately, few individuals or companies are willing to adopt to ICT because of ignorance and lack of adequate finances to start up computer systems. This is attributed to the huge sums of money that is needed to put up an information system making the adoption of information and communication technology in areas related to hotel industry far slower than other sectors like the banking sector. This study therefore assessed how the adoption of! CT in the hotel business can facilitate access, dissemination and enhance better storage, retrieval, update and management of information with maximum safety hence improving on the time needed to processes a particular piece of information. However the use of ICTS comes along with its own challenges different to particular cases which must be addressed if any benefits are to be realized. Lack of clear information systems, low knowledge about computer and poor financing of the department are the major set backs to the use of I CT .Information systems in Sports view Hotel is majorly Manuel. It also depends on people to transfer information from one place to another and from one office to another. Problems like delay in the flow of information, difficulty in allocating information are a common phenomenon as a result decisions can be made basing on inadequate and inaccurate information. This research therefore shows that a lot is to be done both b the government and the private sector in order to get maximum value out the adoption of ICT
