Addressing traffic congestion and throughput through optimization.
(2021)Traffic congestion experienced in port precincts have become prevalent in recent years for South Africa and internationally [1, 2, 3]. In addition to the environmental impacts of air pollution due to this challenge, ... -
An analysis of algorithms to estimate the characteristics of the underlying population in Massively Parallel Pyrosequencing data.
(2011)Massively Parallel Pyrosequencing (MPP) is a next generation DNA sequencing technique that is becoming ubiquitous because it is considerably faster, cheaper and produces a higher throughput than long established ... -
An analysis of approaches for developing national health information systems : a case study of two sub-Saharan African countries.
(2016)Health information systems in sub-Saharan African countries are currently characterized by significant fragmentation, duplication and limited interoperability. Incorporating these disparate systems into a coherent national ... -
Analysis of cultural and ideological values transmitted by university websites.
(2003)With the advent of globalisation and new communication technologies, it was inevitable that educational institutions would follow the advertising trend of establishing websites to market their services. This paper analyses ... -
The applicability of case-based reasoning to software cost estimation.
(2002)The nature and competitiveness of the modern software development industry demands that software engineers be able to make accurate and consistent software cost estimates. Traditionally software cost estimates have been ... -
Application of artificial intelligence for detecting derived viruses.
(2017)A lot of new viruses are being created each and every day. However, some of these viruses are not completely new per se. Most of the supposedly ‘new’ viruses are not necessarily created from scratch with completely new ... -
Application of backpropagation-like generative algorithms to various problems.
(1992)Artificial neural networks (ANNs) were originally inspired by networks of biological neurons and the interactions present in networks of these neurons. The recent revival of interest in ANNs has again focused attention ... -
The application of computer technology in South African distance education.
(1996)The advent of on-line Computer-Assisted Instruction and Computer Mediated Communication may improve instruction and communication in distance education in South African universities. On-line Computer-Assisted Instruction ... -
Application of genetic algorithms to the travelling salesperson problem.
(1996)Genetic Algorithms (GAs) can be easily applied to many different problems since they make few assumptions about the application domain and perform relatively well. They can also be modified with some success for handling ... -
The application of the unified modelling language and soft systems metholdology for modelling the production process in an aluminium plant.
(2003)This research explores the combined use of soft systems methodology (SSM) and UML based business process modelling (BPM) techniques. These two techniques are integrated to provide a framework for the analysis and definition ... -
Artificial neural networks for image recognition : a study of feature extraction methods and an implementation for handwritten character recognition.
(1996)The use of computers for digital image recognition has become quite widespread. Applications include face recognition, handwriting interpretation and fmgerprint analysis. A feature vector whose dimension is much lower ... -
An assessment of the component-based view for metaheuristic research.
(2023)Several authors have recently pointed to a crisis within the metaheuristic research field, particularly the proliferation of metaphor-inspired metaheuristics. Common problems identified include using non-standard ... -
Automatic lung segmentation using graph cut optimization.
(2015)Medical Imaging revolutionized the practice of diagnostic medicine by providing a means of visualizing the internal organs and structure of the body. Computer technologies have played an increasing role in the acquisition ... -
Built-in tests for a real-time embedded system.
(1991)Beneath the facade of the applications code of a well-designed real-time embedded system lies intrinsic firmware that facilitates a fast and effective means of detecting and diagnosing inevitable hardware failures. These ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
