Digital reconstruction of District Six architecture from archival photographs
(2007)
In this thesis we present a strategy for reconstructing instances of District Six Architecture from small sets of old. uncalibrated photographs that are located in the District Six Museum photographic archive. Our ...
A methodology for analyzing power consumption in wireless communication systems
(2004)
Engergy usage has become an important issue in wireless communication systems. The energy-intensive nature of wireless communication has spurred concern over how best systems can make the most use of this non-renewable ...
Presence and co-presence in collaborative virtual environments
(2001)
Presence in Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs) can be defined into personal presence and co-presence. Personal presence is having a feeling of "being there" in the CVE yourself. Co-presence is having a feeling that ...
Link prediction and link detection in sequences of large social networks using temporal and local metrics
(2006)
This dissertation builds upon the ideas introduced by Liben-Nowell and Kleinberg in The Link Prediction Problem for Social Networks [42]. Link prediction is the problem of predicting between which unconnected nodes in a ...
Computational intelligent systems : evolving dynamic Bayesian networks
(2009)
In this thesis, a new class of temporal probabilistic modelling, called evolving dynamic Bayesian networks (EDBN), is proposed and demonstrated to make technology easier so as to accommodate both experts and non-experts, ...
Photo searching on small screen devices
(2007)
The aim of this thesis is to improve HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) knowledge in the design of the next generation of photo search tools on small display devices. Today, these devices have all the ingredients for a truly ...
Simulating raid storage systems for performance analysis
(2007)
Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) provides an inexpensive, fault-tolerant storage solution using commodity hard-drives. RAID storage systems have recently surged in popularity amongst enterprise clients, as they ...
The design and evaluation of a Java image analysis tool for componentizing lines from digitial architectural floor plans
(2006)
This research set out to determine the feasibility of using Java to create a tool that could perform paper-to-electronic format conversion by vectorizing the lines in a raster image of an architectural floor plan. The tool ...
Schema matching in a peer-to-peer database system
(2006)
Peer-to-peer or P2P systems are applications that allow a network of peers to share resources in a scalable and efficient manner. My research is concerned with the use of P2P systems for sharing databases. To allow data ...
