At the same time when we enjoy the convenience and benefits brought by the networks, we also suffer from a great amount of intelligent attacks and malicious intrusions. As a fundamental procedure of network security measurement, network data collection executes real-time network monitoring, supports network performance evaluation, assists network billing, and helps traffic testing and filtering. Thus, it plays a crucial and essential role in dealing with network intrusion detection and unwanted traffic control. However, an adaptive and effective data collection mechanism that can be pervasively applied to heterogeneous networks is still lacking. The literature available rarely comments on and compares the performance of existing data collection mechanisms. In this study, we survey existing data collection methods, mechanisms, and architectures. According to many proposed assessment criteria, we evaluate the performance of existing data collection mechanisms and summarize their characteristics. Furthermore, we figure out some open issues based on our investigation and forecast future research directions.Item Embargo Ps Based Car Tracking System: A Case Study of Smartwatch Solutions Ltd.(Kabale University, 2022) Turigye, Charbel; Owomugisha, SusanA vehicle tracking system is an electronic device installed in a vehicle to enable the owner or a third party to track the vehicle's location. This study proposed to design a vehicle tracking system that works using GPS and GSM technology, which would be the cheapest source of vehicle tracking and it would work as an anti-theft system. It is an embedded system that is used for tracking and positioning of any vehicle by using Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global system for mobile communication (GSM). This design will continuously monitor a moving Vehicle and report the status of the Vehicle on demand. For doing so a microcontroller is interfaced serially to a GSM Modem and GPS Receiver. A GSM modem is used to send the position (Latitude and Longitude) of the vehicle from a remote place. The GPS modem will continuously give the data i.e. the latitude and longitude indicating the position of the vehicle. The same data is sent to the mobile at the other end from where the position of the vehicle is demanded. When the request by the user is sent to the number at the GSM modem, the system automatically sends a return reply to that mobile indicating the position of the vehicle in terms of latitude and longitude in real-time.Item Embargo Gender Based Violence Reporting System: A Case Study Kabale University Police Station.(Kabale University, 2019) Mbaine, AbertThe status of women in society is very diverse worldwide.

Three categories of states have emerged from the analysis: states where the majority of inhabitants are without religious affiliation, which display the lowest levels of gender inequality; Christian and Buddhist societies, with average levels of gender inequality; and states with the highest levels of gender inequality across the observed variables, whose inhabitants adhere to Islam and Hinduism. Gender inequalities can be defined as culturally and socially created differences between men and women when both sexes do not have the same share in the decision-making and wealth of a society (Ridgeway, 2004). 2 We understand religion as an ideology that affects the socio-political practices of a society and as a complex cultural system of meanings, symbols, and behaviors in communities (Stump, 2008)Item Embargo An Online Recruitment System.(Kabale University, 2019) Mucureezi, JoshuaThis project was aimed at developing a central recruitment process system for Hope For Africa Centre Company.
