Mobile information management : investigating paces of interaction using mobile devices
(2005)
Mobile computing, by necessity, introduces its own paradigm of interaction and design complexities. Rather than trying to re-create miniature desktop systems, designers should focus on creating mobile software: software ...
Visualisation of ATM network connectivity and topology
(2001)
ATM and dynamic reconfiguration allow for rapid changes in a virtual path network depending on traffic load and future demands. This technology improves the utilisation, lowers the call blocking probability and increases ...
Perceptual refinement for hierarchical radiosity
(2000)
This dissertation explores the use of a simple model of the human visual system to yield a performance improvement with hierarchical radiosity. Hierarchical radiosity is a physically based rendering algorithm and hence ...
Distributed analysis of Markov chains
(1998)
This thesis examines how parallel and distributed algorithms can increase the power of techniques for correctness and performance analysis of concurrent systems. The systems in question are state transition systems from ...
Investigating cost effective communication alternatives for geographically hostile regions
(2001)
The lack of communication facilities in developing countries is a constraint to social, political and economic empowerment of the people. However, advances in technology promise to deliver voice, video and data communication ...
Bisimulation as a verification and validation technique for message sequence charts
(1998)
The complexity of determining whether a system meets the requirements of its designers has increased with the widespread use of real time concurrent systems. This testing process has however been simplified with the emergence ...
Viaduct : an interactive, very-high-level data manipulation language for a microcomputer-based database system.
(1982)
A very-high-level data manipulation language for a database system is one in which the user specifies in non-procedural terms the operations that are to be performed on the data stored in the database; the actual method ...
Active shape model segmentation of Brain structures in MR images of subjects with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder
(2010)
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is the most common form of preventable mental retardation worldwide. This condition affects children whose mothers excessively consume alcohol whilst pregnant. FASD can be identified ...
Voxel-space shape grammars
(2012)
The field of Procedural Generation is being increasingly used in modern content generation for its ability to significantly decrease the cost and time involved. One such area of Procedural Generation is Shape Grammars, a ...
A meta-authoring tool for specifying behaviour in virtual reality environments
(2004)
In this dissertation, we explore methods for empowering non-programmers with the ability to develop their own virtual environment applications. We explored some of the existing systems to determine what methodologies have ...
