Engaging ICTs as a “Tool” for eHealth prioritization on human development and poverty reduction in the African region
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Inc., 2011)
The association connecting information and communication technologies (ICTs) and well-being
or poverty remains vague and research today has resulted to divergent conclusions. This paper
defines ICTs as “tools” that facilitate ...
A query-based SMS translation in information access system
(Blue Eyes Intelligence Engineering & Sciences Publication Pvt. Ltd., 2011)
Mobile technology has contributed to the evolution
of several media of communication such as chats, emails and
short message service (SMS) text. This has significantly

UDCA: Energy optimization in wireless sensor networks using uniform distributed clustering algorithms
(Academic Journals Inc., 2011)
Transceivers are the major energy consumption in a Wireless Sensor Network which is made of low-power, small in size, low cost and multi-functional nodes. These sensor nodes are operated by batteries which put significant ...
Peer-to-Peer Computing and Grid Computing: towards a better understanding
(Akamai University, 2011)
Currently, both Peer-to-Peer Computing (P2P) and Grid Computing have remained the most vibrant and useful forms of distributed computing all over the world. Their applications are such that they cut across both academia ...
Ensuring the security and privacy of information in mobile health-care communication systems
(Academy of Science of South Africa, 2011)
The sensitivity of health-care information and its accessibility via the Internet and mobile technology systems is a cause for concern in these modern times. The privacy, integrity and confidentiality of a patient’s data ...
ANCAEE: A novel clustering algorithm for energy efficiency in wireless sensor networks
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2011)
One of the major constraints of wireless sensor networks is limited energy available to sensor nodes because of the small size of the batteries they use as source of power. Clustering is one of the routing techniques that ...
