Scaffolding java programming on a mobile phone for novice learners
(2015)
The ubiquity of mobile phones provides an opportunity to use them for learning programming beyond the classroom. This would be particularly useful for novice learners of programming in resource- constrained environments. ...
Accelerating radio transient detection using the Bispectrum algorithm and GPGPU
(2015)
Modern radio interferometers such as those in the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project are powerful tools to discover completely new classes of astronomical phenomena. Amongst these phenomena are radio transients. Transients ...
Interactive simulation and rendering of fluids on graphics hardware
(2016)
Computational uid dynamics can be used to reproduce the complex motion of fluids for use in computer graphics, but the simulation and rendering are both highly computationally intensive. In the past performing these tasks ...
Adoption of a visual model for temporal database representation
(2016)
Today, in the world of information technology, conceptual model representation of database schemas is challenging for users both in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) domain. ...
Accelerated deconvolution of radio interferometric images using orthogonal matching pursuit and graphics hardware
(2016)
Deconvolution of native radio interferometric images constitutes a major computational component of the radio astronomy imaging process. An efficient and robust deconvolution operation is essential for reconstruction of ...
Automating user privacy policy recommendations in social media
(2016)
Most Social Media Platforms (SMPs) implement privacy policies that enable users to protect their sensitive information against privacy violations. However, observations indicate that users find these privacy policies ...
Mixed-Language Arabic- English Information Retrieval
(2013)
This thesis attempts to address the problem of mixed querying in CLIR. It proposes mixed-language (language-aware) approaches in which mixed queries are used to retrieve most relevant documents, regardless of their languages. ...
Ubiquitous mesh networking : application to mobile communication and information dissemination in a rural context
(2014)
ICT has furthered the social and economic development of societies but, rural African communities have lagged behind due to issues such as sparse population, low household income, a lack of electricity and other basic ...
Internet of things : least interference beaconing algorithms
(2014)
The emerging sensor networking applications are predicting the deployment of sensor devices in thousands of computing elements into multi-technology and multi-protocol platforms. Access to information will be available not ...
