Client-side encryption and key management: enforcing data confidentiality in the cloud.
(2016)Cloud computing brings flexible, scalable and cost effective services. This is a computing paradigm whose services are driven by the concept of virtualization and multi-tenancy. These concepts bring various attractive ... -
A comparative study of metaheuristics for blood assignment problem.
(2018)The Blood Assignment Problem (BAP) is a real world and NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem. The study of BAP is significant due to the continuous demand for blood transfusion during medical emergencies. However, ... -
Component-based ethnicity identification from facial images.
(2017)Abstract available in PDF file. -
Component-based face recognition.
(2008)Component-based automatic face recognition has been of interest to a growing number of researchers in the past fifteen years. However, the main challenge remains the automatic extraction of facial components for recognition ... -
Computer assisted education : design, development and evaluation.
(2001)Educational institutions throughout the world are increasingly facing classes of educationally, culturally and linguistically diverse student groups. At the same time economic constraints require these institutions to ... -
A computer mediated system for distance education.
(1996)A problem currently facing South Africa is the large number of poorly educated or uneducated people in many parts of the country. Distance education has proven to be an apt solution to this problem However, one of the ... -
Computer simulation of the two body abrasive wear process.
(2002)New computer technologies are applied to the classical material engineering two-body abrasive wear process. The computer simulation provides an interactive and visual representation of the wear process. The influence of ... -
Data classification using genetic programming.
(2015)Genetic programming (GP), a field of artificial intelligence, is an evolutionary algorithm which evolves a population of trees which represent programs. These programs are used to solve problems. This dissertation ... -
Debugging and repair of description logic ontologies.
(2010)In logic-based Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KRR), ontologies are used to represent knowledge about a particular domain of interest in a precise way. The building blocks of ontologies include concepts, relations ... -
The development of a behavioural video analysis system and a toolbox prototype.
(1996)Behavioural research studies often include a data acquisition process, during which subjects are observed, and the displayed behaviours recorded, and a subsequent analysis process, during which the observed behaviours ... -
The development of a swarm intelligent simulation tool for sugarcane transport logistics systems.
(2008)Transport logistics systems typically evolve as networks over time, which may result in system rigidity and cause changes to become expensive and time consuming. In this study a logistics model, named TranSwarm, was ... -
Devising a common vocabulary for a knowledge management university intranet.
(2003)For the past few years, the University of Natal has been using an HTML-driven InnerWeb as its intranet system. The advantages of database driven intranet technologies over static HTML pages are now well established. It was ... -
Discrete particle swarm optimization for combinatorial problems with innovative applications.
(2016)Abstract available in PDF file. -
Evaluation of a new online learning resource : the human computer interface design.
(2003)With the increasing demand for online learning, well-designed computer online learning resources are indispensable. User interfaces evaluation has become a critical quality attribute of interactive software intended ... -
An evaluation of depth camera-based hand pose recognition for virtual reality systems.
(2018)Camera-based hand gesture recognition for interaction in virtual reality systems promises to provide a more immersive and less distracting means of input than the usual hand-held controllers. It is unknown if a camera ... -
Executive information systems usage : the impact of web-based technologies.
(2002)Executive Information Systems (EIS) grew out ofthe information needs of top executives. The recent literature reports that EIS usage has spread throughout organisations. Web-based technologies are causing a revisit of ... -
Extending classical reasoning for classification queries over ontologies.
(2016)Ontologies are used within Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KRR) to represent a domain of interest and to assert specific knowledge about the domain. This is done through a class hierarchy and explicit syntactic ... -
Face recognition with Eigenfaces : a detailed study.
(2012)With human society becoming increasingly computerised, the use of biometrics to automatically establish the identity of an individual is of great interest in a wide variety of applications. Facial appearance is an appealing ... -
Foundational ontology interchangeability with the Repository of Ontologies for MULltiple USes (ROMULUS).
(2013)The notion behind foundational ontologies is to have a single foundational ontology to serve as a basis for providing high-level entities and relations that are common between all ontologies in or- der to facilitate ... -
Fusion of face and iris biometrics in security verification systems.
(2016)Abstract available in PDF file.
