Modulating application behaviour for closely coupled intrusion detection
(2003)
This thesis presents a security measure that is closely coupled to applications. This distinguishes it from conventional security measures which tend to operate at the infrastructure level (network, operating system or ...
Speech perception in virtual environments
(2005)
Many virtual environments like interactive computer games, educational software or training simulations make use of speech to convey important information to the user. These applications typically present a combination of ...
Semiotic machines : software in discourse
(2008)
This study develops new theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of software as a medium of communication. This study analyses voting software, educational software, search engines, and combat and narrative ...
A novel interface for first person shooter games on personal digital assistant devices
(2008)
The main aim of this study is to enhance the playability of games on current standard PDA devices. The newly designed interface more effectively leverages current well-established devices, which solves the problem of rapidly ...
A web browsing workload model for simulation
(2004)
The simulation of packet switched networks depends on accurate web workload models as input for network models. We derived a workload model for traffic generated by an individual browsing the web. We derived the workload ...
Flexible packaging methodologies for rapid deployment of customisable component-based digital libraries
(2006)
Software engineering is a discipline concerned with manufacturing or developing software. Software plays a pivotal role in everyday life, an absence of which will be devastating to a number of governmental, recreational ...
A linear framework for character skinning
(2007)
Character animation is the process of modelling and rendering a mobile character in a virtual world. It has numerous applications both off-line, such as virtual actors in films, and real-time, such as in games and other ...
Model driven segmentation and the detection of bone fractures
(2004)
The introduction of lower dosage image acquisition devices and the increase in computational power means that there is an increased focus on producing diagnostic aids for the medical trauma environment. The focus of this ...
The efficient and cost effective asynchronous mail sender for road warriors
(2007)
Email has become a very important communication tool. The rise of SPAM, however, has forced system administrators to restrict the usage of their SMTP servers. Such a restriction causes problems for users who send emails ...
