Particle Swarm Algorithm for Improved Handling of the Mirrored Traveling Tournament Problem
(2021-08)In this study, we used a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to address a variation of the non-deterministic polynomial-time NP-hard traveling tournament problem, which determines the optimal schedule for a double ... -
Proposed Model for Predictive Mapping Graduates' Skills to Industry Roles using Machine Learning Techniques
(The International Journal Of Engineering And Science (IJES), 2016-04)The main focus in training evaluation is not only to determine whether training objectives were achieved but also how to improve evaluation so as to enhance both employability of graduates and performance in the job. This ... -
A SITUATIONAL METHOD FOR HEALTHCARE BUSINESS PROCESS IMPROVEMENT
(International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology, 2018)Healthcare business processes are complex due to the many decisions and procedures captured, are highly dynamic, increasingly multidisciplinary and ad hoc which makes it difficult to achieve any meaningful improvement ... -
SMS Enhanced Justice: Towards Efficiency and Convenience in Court Cases
(University of Nairobi, 2017)We seek to bring convenience and efficiency in the process of accessing justice through the courts of law. A lot of time and money is wasted when litigants travel long distances to visit court registries, in order to ... -

Students Selection for University Course Admission at the Joint Admissions Board (Kenya) Using Trained Neural Networks
(2011-01)Every year, the Joint Admission Board (JAB) is tasked to determine those students who are expected to join various Kenyan public universities under the government sponsorship scheme. This exercise is usually extensive ... -
Tackling Data Related Challenges in Healthcare Process Mining using Visual Analytics
(IJCAT, 2018)Data-science approaches such as Visual analytics tend to be process blind whereas process-science approaches such as process mining tend to be model-driven without considering the "evidence" hidden in the data. Use of ... -
Towards Prediction of Students’ Academic Performance in Secondary School Using Decision Trees
(International Journal of Research and Innovation in Applied Science (IJRIAS), 2009-10)Abstract - Prediction of students’ academic performance with high accuracy is useful in many contexts. Institutions would like to know which students are likely to have low academic achievements or need assistance in ... -
