This is based on the premise that, in this globalized world, there has been a popular and unique research interest in information and communication technologies (ICTs). Many developed and developing countries have in one way or other undergone important and significant changes in different sectors of life in their countries, and all of these changes can be well traced to the use of ICTs. Globally, in recent times, there has been a tilt towards multimedia computing as related to information and communication technology. Multimedia computing has been a major driver in the use of ICTs in every aspects of life. The use of multimedia computing has been at the forefront of ICTs in different sectors: banking, education, travels and tour, telecommunications, economics, social etc. Multimedia is about conveying information as effectively as possible through the integrated use of different media. Multimedia computing combines the principles of computing with the tools and skills necessary for working with multimedia. Therefore, this paper covers the important multimedia computing methods by presenting a comprehensive coverage of the underlying processing, content transformation and resource optimization techniques in a variety of systems such as multimedia information retrieval, conferencing, surveillance and security. The link between multimedia and computing science is emphasized and illustrated throughout the paper. Therefore, this study recommends the need to integrate multimedia computing technology with different economic sectors for rapid transformation and improvements in the information and communication technology world.

As a result of this, both social and academic activities and engagements among university students are rapidly carried out through social networking sites (SNSs) such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. All of these are usually used by students for various purposes. In recent times, the use of SNSs has become an integral and suitable part of day to day communication among university students. The use of SNSs has a major influence and effect on students in enormous ways, most especially on their social interactions and relationships. The aim of this study is to investigate the use of social network sites among university students and the impact it has on their social relationship. A structured questionnaire was designed and distributed among the sample of students who are considered to be active users of social networking sites. The results gotten shows that the SNSs that is mostly used among the university students is Facebook and Twitter and we also found out that the duration of time spent on SNSs per day is between 1-12 hours. Findings also shows that most students make use of SNSs majorly to keep in touch with relatives, family and friends, as this is most positive impacts that SNSs have on the students. However, the students expressed their concerns about the security and privacy issues of SNSs as a major negative effect on their interaction on the SNSs. Based on the research findings, the more active a student is on SNSs, and the more conspicuous will be the student's likelihood of keeping up a private profile. The result of this study gives a sign on how dynamic the students are on the social network sites. The review at long last present data that could be helpful for the educators about the overall activities of students. Through this review, instructors could translate the social structure of the systems gotten from the various activities carried out on the social network sites and in this manner gain knowledge on the forms of social interaction of students on social network. Therefore, it is recommended that students should explore the various activities and various security settings that are available on the SNSs as these will make them get well-groomed in the use of the privacy settings and options. The most grounded sources of social influence tend to be our direct associates, peers and colleagues and the more friends with private profiles a student has, the more important will be the student's likelihood of keeping up a private profile herself.

The higher education learning topic has moved from knowledge to a continuous learning process as relating to skills. Collaborative skills which are a piece of these skills have been held in high regard by both learners in the higher institution and even managers in the various organization. Despite arguments about negative opinions and assumption of social networking impact on learning outcomes, social interaction, and performances of students, some of the learners and teachers make use of this platform to disseminate information and carry out some other online educational collaborative activities which fosters communication between them. Based on this, research was carried out to explore the utilization of social networking in higher education environment for collaborative learning, particularly among teachers and learners. The purpose of this research is to analyzes the impact on social interaction in discussion forums and knowledge construction amongst students. The research utilized highly populated public university which is familiar with social network collaborative learning activities. However, the research focuses on the usage of three kinds of activities (social interaction with peers and teachers, knowledge construction, and collaborative learning) which are performed via various social network platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, wiki, TedED, YouTube, blog. The result shows that most respondents agree that social network promotes collaboration with their peers and their teachers, and also it improves their communication skills with their peers and teachers. It also enhances social interaction and knowledge sharing with their colleagues and teachers. In the result, most of the respondents say that Facebook is the most used social network that enhances collaborative learning, social interaction and knowledge construction and the use of YouTube is more efficient in enhancing their educational purposes. Given this, will foster the learning outcome and experiences using collaborative learning, intellective abilities replication, and metacognition to promote a social network for collaborative learning in the institution of higher learning. The result of this analysis gives an indication on how active the students are within the social network's activities. The study finally present information that could be useful for the teachers about the students' performance, knowledge construction and students interactions within the course. Through this study, teachers and/or tutors were able to interpret the social structure of the networks extracted from activities performed on the social networks and thus gain insight on students' participation patterns and styles in the course.

Data Visualization is a major method which aids big data to get an absolute data perspective and as well the discovery of data values. Since the visualization techniques are so enormous, it can at times be difficult to know what appropriate technique to be used to visualize data. The purpose of representing data visually is to basically give an interpretation to what is insight without difficulties. At different point in time, the visualization techniques are being used to carry out different task which as well communicates different level of understanding. In this paper, we examined various data mining visualization techniques and how they can be well understood and utilized and then we made discussed our contributions in making research about the adequacy and inadequacy of data visualization technique in handling big data.

Operating traffic signals is inherently a difficult task with many conflicting objectives. This research designs and simulates a fuzzy traffic light control system using method that incorporates fuzzy logic to control the phase-splits of the traffic light at road intersections. MATLAB (fuzzy tool) software is used to simulate the effectiveness of fuzzy logic controller in controlling traffic conditions at intersections. The fuzzy traffic controller operates by determining whether to extend or terminate the current green phase, based on a set of fuzzy rules which consists of the IF … THEN rules, that are used for its decision. The fuzzy rules compare the traffic conditions with the current green phases and with the next candidates green phase. INTRODUCTION Over the years, movement of all living and non-living things is one major activities which is common and inevitable among men for their survival. This activity remains an essential and important aspect of every human life in our world today. The movement involves the use of the various forms of transportation including road, rail, and water transportation. Among these, road transportation is the earliest and unavoidable form of transportation. In the olden days, it involves the movement of people and goods through the use of some animals like cattle, donkey etc. and the use of various types of vehicles in our world today. As a result of the ever increasing population of most countries, there is also an increase in the number of vehicles and traffic demand on our road today and this has led to issues of traffic congestion, air pollution, sound pollution, weariness, stress time and energy wastage [1]. However, as modern technology is on the ever increasing side and with advancement in technology, different researches are being carried out in order to decrease and eliminate completely the long existing problems that are encountered in road transportation and to improve the reliability and efficiency of the road network so as to yield
