Design and implementation of a database management system case study: sports view hotel
(Kampala International University,School of Computing and Information Technology, 2009-05) Nandawula, Maria
The 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

Design and development of automated records management system for Kabojja Junior School Library
(Kampala International University,College of Computing and Information Technology, 2009-07) Makumbi, Sulaiman
This 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.

Comparison 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 Mercy
Proprietary 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.

Design and Modeling of School Time Table Application System: A Case Study of Kampala International University school of Computer Studies
(2010-06) Kantalama, Margaret
Studies not only to safeguard the economic interests in education but also social one to protect students from lot more confusion without a time table. Hence the need to seek to change the society’s negative attitudes towards best attainments of timetabling and applications, which are supposed to be free disregards by users. The timetable is difficult to interpret by user in the first place. It’s also crushes many times often. This is where for example the same lecturer is given two different classes in a same hour. It is also unfavorable to visiting lecturers who many times complain of having other duties in the same hour allocated on it. The challenges met during the research were: Crushing time schedule for individual lecturers whereby we devised a means of improving the time table by collectively making it than sitting singularly to make one; Another challenge yet is confusing timetable to students whereby we have minimized such confusion by releasing the time table in time before the start of the semester for clear analysis and due collections in time. Lecture halls are few and there is lack of sufficient space for allocation of the lectures which hampers the timetable application. Yet another problem arising from lecturer competition for teaching space on particular days when their schedules are not tight is high. For example almost all lecturers would preferably allocate their lectures on Saturday which hampers the students’ right to rest on weekends. This, through our research was resolved by student-lecturer agreement which settles the timetable at the most convenient time schedules. This however, includes even wee late hours of the night. The issue of duplication and omissions of the time-table is one great challenge we faced in this research. However, we found a solution through all the above methods of problem analysis. For example by computerizing the time table we evaded the duplicity which minimally exists with the computerizing such work.
