Cybercrime has increased considerably over the past years, emphasizing the need for efficient investigations. Currently, some tools and processes are manual and lead to long and inaccurate investigations. This report provides a descriptive review of the of published research in the field of cyber forensics, in order to identify current practices, challenges and the adoption of automation. A pragmatist approach was taken to accommodate the multitude of theories and views presented in the literature. The research illustrates how the use of technology could simplify an investigators task and solving difficulties that currently exist in cyber forensics. The paper concludes in motivating for the use of automated practices in the cyber forensic process.

The exponential increases in the number of patients with diabetes warrants the use of innovative health solutions, especially in low socio-economic areas. Yet the acceptance of Information Communication and Technology (ICT) for diabetes self-management remains low, especially in developing countries. The study used key constructs from the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model and introduced education as a moderator. It analysed the survey data from 430 respondent using purposive sampling. It found that all four variables (effort expectancy (EE), performance expectancy (PE), social influence (SI) and facilitating conditions (FC)) all influenced behavioural intention (BI). Gender did not provide any moderation effect, contrary to literature. Age and education proved to have a moderating effect on the relationship between PE and BI and SI and BI. Only age had a moderating effect on the relationship between EE and BI and FC and BI.

Signature verification is a technique used to counter signature forgery. In the past, the process began with staff at a bank, who is an expert, would confirm if a signature is genuine or forged. With the development of technology, now people no longer sign on paper, rather on a digital pad which can take more data which is recorded on paper, for example, pressure, azimuth and altitude angles. Examples of details captured from a digital pen include pen pressure, azimuth and altitude angles. This data is now used in various dynamic signature verification systems that achieve high accuracy on evaluation tests using different forms of artificial intelligence. This paper investigates using artificial intelligence in the form of a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) followed by a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) to verify signatures using the SVC 2004 and SigComp2009 online datasets and it achieved a testing accuracy of 97.05%.

The term customer churn is used to describe a situation where a customer leaves one merchant or supplier and moves to a competitor of that original merchant or supplier. This is also know as customer attrition. Prior to churning, however, there are often hints or clues in the customer’s buying patterns that he or she is ready to leave the supplier. This paper looks at the use of Machine Learning algorithms to predict when customers are ready to churn or in the process of churning. These predictions are then used to look at free text unformatted log data to find any reasons why this customer might be churning. This free text log data would include textual error messages that the customer might have received or financial problems which might have arisen such as not having sufficient funds in his or her account. This merged information is then forwarded to an outbound call queue so that trained call center agents could make human-to-human voice calls to the customer and entice them to stay with the merchant or supplier by offering some financial incentive. All of the technicalities were orchestrated using Spring Boot microservices. Design Science Research was used for the this project and a number of iterations were executed until results were satisfactory. These iterations included changing from an AutoEncoder to a MultiLayerPerceptron, included changing from one Java library providing neural network objects to another Java library, included better searching of log files for possible reasons that customers were churning and included many experiments with the quantity of sales data required in order for the neural networks to create reasonable predictions.

Credit cards play a role in economic growth because they allow for a cashless society which in turn reduces government expenditure on the manufacturing and distribution of monetary notes. A cashless society would allow governments to save billions of money that can be ploughed back into the economy for other purposes. However, mediums of achieving a cashless society such as credit cards are under attack from fraudsters. Recent studies show that more and more money is being fraudulently withdrawn from accounts. This paper aims to evaluate the credit card fraud detection methods used by banks and the difficulties in implementing the said methods. The study suggests the use of artificial intelligence, geolocation and data mining in credit card fraud detection methods to mitigate the weaknesses that current credit card fraud detection methods have. The use of artificial intelligence, data mining and geolocation would enable credit card fraud detection methods to analyse and identify trends in customer spending to identify fraudulent transactions. A model is introduced to help mitigate the weaknesses. An indepth literature review was undertaken and secondary research was used throughout the study as the main source of information.

Future generation or smart grid (SG) will incorporate ICT technologies as well as innovative ideas for advanced integrated and automated power systems. The bidirectional information and energy flows within the envisaged advanced SG together with other aiding devices and objects, promote a new vision to energy supply and demand response. Meanwhile, the gradual shift to the next generation fully fledged SGs will be preceded by individual isolated microgrids voluntarily collaborating in the managing of all the available energy resources within their control to achieve optimality in both demand and distribution. In so doing, innovative applications will emerge that will bring numerous benefits as well as challenges in the SG. This paper introduces a power management approach that is geared towards optimizing power distribution, trading, as well as storage among cooperative microgrids (MGs). The initial task is to formulate the problem as a convex optimization problem and ultimately decompose it into a formulation that jointly considers user utility as well as factors such as MG load variance and associated transmission costs. It is deduced from obtained analytical results that the formulated generic optimization algorithm characterizing both overall demand and response by the cooperative microgrids assist greatly in determining the required resources hence leading to cost effectiveness of the entire system.

Waste management in Ghana has in recent times been a subject of discourse that pervades most of its industrial cities. The provision of waste bins at vantage points by waste management institutions is not enough to solve the problem of the current management system. In this paper, a proposed method that uses multiple solutions to address the issues of spillage and inefficient collection scheme is presented. The system provides a monitoring platform for the waste management institution to handle the alert records by creating orders for the garbage collectors/drivers which can be accessed via a mobile application system. The proposed system includes a smart waste bin which has a microcontroller-based system constructed and affixed to the top of the bins to detect bin level status and communicate to drivers and management office via SMS and application system. A work order is created once a utilizes is full which can be received by the drivers and routing system regarding the state of bins distributed within a specific geographic area that can be assessed on the drivers’ phone. The system implantation works successfully, making it possible to monitor waste bin status in real-time but occasionally had high latency which was primarily due to the use of GSM module for GSM/GPRS connectivity.
