ABSTRACT As the world increasingly progresses towards a technology driven environment, the legal sector is not to be left behind. In the past years, clients got to know about lawyers through recommendation and at the same time lawyers had a challenge reaching out to their clients. Work was slow and tedious as research was conducted on dusty and old textbooks. The basis of this project is to bridge the technology gap between the lawyers and advocates in Africa. Firms that deal with legal servi...
ABSTRACT Network Threat Management (NTM) is used to model and mitigate network threats classified as major-threats and minor-threats without exceeding Cost of Detection (CD), Time of Detection (TD) and False Positive Rate (FPR) limits. Existing network threat modelling and mitigation frameworks focused on major-threats because until recently, only major-threats are usually harmful, while minor-threats were perceived non-harmful. Recent studies however have shown that some minor-threats are h...
ABSTRACT Spatial qualification problem, an aspect of spatial reasoning, is concerned with the impossibility of knowing an agent‟s presence at a specific location and time. An agent‟s location determines its ability to carry out an action given its known spatial antecedents. There are sparse works on the formalisation of this problem. Qualitative reasoning approach is the most widely used approach for spatial reasoning due to its ability to reason with incomplete knowledge or reduced data...
Abstract As a middle income country, Ghana has made formidable strides in improving health care delivery in the country. Notable among them is the introduction of the Community Health and Planning Services system. This system was adopted to increase access to and use of health care services by setting up health centers known us CHPS zones in the remote communities where it is particularly difficult for Ghanaians to receive proper and timely medical attention. These health centers are manned b...
ABSTRACT Inventory management is key in every business setting. Proper inventory management helps businesses to reduce cost and maximize profit. Hence, this project seeks to design and build a user-friendly inventory management system that will work on a web platform to allow the staff of Dzigua Enterprise in Accra to key in inventory details for their various agricultural products. The staff should be able to key in inventory received and removed either for processing or sales to allow for t...
Abstract Examination writing in Ghana seems to be a location based process. This is so because most examinations taken, be it school exams or other external examinations, are taken at specific selected locations. If exams are to be taken in a school like Ashesi University for instance, there is a time table drawn which includes a course, date, time and place of the exam. The processes that precede it include typing and photocopying of questions which can use up a lot of paper, time and space ...
Abstract Ashesi University College recently acquired a TurtleBot1 robotic platform to experiment with service robotics on campus. This platform runs the Robotics Operating System (ROS)2 for developing robotics applications. This MOLAM project (Motion, Localization And Mapping) sought to build a fundamental framework that extends ROS functionalities on a TurtleBot to navigate autonomously around the Ashesi campus in Berekuso. The focus of this project was to extend the ROS enabled functionalit...
Abstract Automated machine learning holds a lot of promise to revolutionize and democratize the field of artificial intelligence. Neural architecture search is one of the main components of AutoML and is usually very computationally expensive. Autokeras is a framework that proposes a Bayesian optimization approach to neural architecture search in order to make it more efficient [8]. AutoKeras suffers from two major limitations: (i) the lack of support for parallel Bayesian optimization, which...
ABSTRACT Computer Role-Playing Games (CRPG) are a genre of video games were the player controls at least one character, the character has attributes and relationships with other game objects and is important to the story. They are one of many entertainment media that have storytelling as one of its major components. The better the story component of a game the better the gameplay experience is. This project explores an approach to improving gameplay of RPG games by personalization of game sto...
Abstract In today’s world, the notion that knowledge has become the most vital resource in the transformational growth of societies is one that is pervasive. The significance of knowledge in modern societies has been overemphasized by several international bodies; most notable the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the World Bank. Ghana's desire to craft an economy where knowledge and information would play a significant role is visible on paper in...
Abstract This paper evaluates the performance of the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) scheme, a genetic algorithm, as used in Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In doing so, the protocol is implemented and compared to round-robin, a contention-free protocol that makes sensor nodes take turns in sending their data packet to the sink, and a p-persistent CSMA protocol with a p-value of 0.01. The concept of p-persistence as used in the CSMA protocol is emp...
Abstract Machine learning models have gained prevalence in the world we live in today. Currently, they are employed in different fields to automate the decision-making process of various institutions. With the increasing availability of data to train these models, machine learning models are adopted to solve complex classification problems that have the potential to affect people’s lives both positively and negatively. Unfortunately, certain patterns of bias that are tied to the presence of...
Abstract Medical diagnosis of diseases like Malaria and tuberculosis still use microscopy as a standard, but this procedure is usually very tiring for pathologists and health workers as it imposes much stress on their vision. Due to the fatigue that health workers get from this process, they might end up misdiagnosing a case. In most Rural areas of Cameroon and Ghana, there are no qualified personnel to do these diagnoses. Moreover, according to the World Bank, malaria still kills millions of...
Abstract Virtual Lab is a virtual machine management system that seeks to streamline the process of creating, editing and deploying virtual machines onto a set of computers. Many universities already use virtualization to enable their computer science students to do practical work. In some of these universities, the deployment and management of virtual machines is done manually. Virtual Lab automates this process so that faculty can focus on more useful tasks.
ABSTRACT This project seeks to make locating medicine easier for patients. Through the proposed application, patients can search for medicine and the application would suggest the nearest pharmacy with the desired drug. In addition, patients can make medicine reservation and access directions to the pharmacy via google maps. The proposed application also enables pharmacists to view medicine reservation from potential clients. In addition, they can update medicine availability on their drug da...
