    Development of IoT based Security System for Fire Monitoring and Prevention in Tanzanian Industries
    (International Journal of Advances in Scientific Research and Engineering (ijasre), 2021-12) Irakomeye, Jesus; Nshimiye, Abel; Ng’ondya, Kisakyake; Sumari, Elibariki; Leo, Judith; Sam, Anael
    Over the past years, there have been great advances in ICTs which have led to the development of fire monitoring and prevention systems. Despite the existence of these solutions, fire incidents especially in Tanzanian have been a major problem in industries which leads to the destruction of materials and loss of lives. With the help of wireless sensor networks (WSN) and the internet of things (IoT), the monitoring and prevention of fire outbreaks become easy and reliable. The present work explores the existing fire monitoring and prevention systems and then, designs and develops an innovative security system for early fire monitoring andprevention in Tanzanian industries through the use of emerging technologies such as WSN and IoT. The results of the system evaluation shows that 88% of users were satisfied with its functionalities. This is because the system works in real-time and through the use of different sensors such as DHT sensor, MQ2 sensor, and Flame sensor to monitor humidity, temperature, smoke, flammable gasses, and fire outbreak in the different work areas. The use of the mobile application and cloud subsystem, the developed system can timely alert the users via their mobile phones on the status of the fire and different parameter.

    Development of the web-based data-driven university information management system (UIMS) for inter-university council for east Africa
    (NM-AIST, 2022-07) Nshimiye, Abel
    A significant challenge faced by the Inter-University Council for East Africa (IUCEA) is the lack of a common Higher Education Information System (HEIS) for the East African Community (EAC) to harmonize the region's education and training system. The system has to manage data about the academic program, universities, research, and human capital respectively developed in different modules. Both EAC's citizens and IUCEA need statistics regarding this information and complex questions these data may answer. Traditional high education management is not only costly but also ineffective. In this work, a web-based data driven University Information Management system (UIMS) for IUCEA is designed to effectively manage university information concerning the academic life cycle, assets, finance, and human resource. In addition, a university application portal to help high education institutions is provided to apply for being among all degrees awarding high education. This system is the second module of the East Africa Community High Education Information System (EAC HEIS); it has been developed using agile software development and web technology such as RESTful API, React, Django, and MySQL. UIMS for IUCEA will significantly impact the IUCEA's day-to-day operation and receive recognition from the surfer. It will improve the efficiency of many processes.
