(2007)
Digital rights management (DRM) can be defined as a technology that enables persistent access control. The common understanding of DRM is that of a technology that enables means to thwart piracy of digital multimedia through ...
A structured approach to network security protocol implementation
(2005)
The implementation of network security protocols has not received the same level of attention in the literature as their analysis. Security protocol analysis has successfully used inference logics, like GNY and BAN, and ...
XSnap : a queueing network analysis package
(1992)
This dissertation describes the design and implementation of a sophisticated X-Windows based modelling package called XSnap, which can be used to solve product-form mixed multi-class queueing networks. A Graphical User ...
Accelerating genomic sequence alignment using high performance reconfigurable computers
(2008)
Reconfigurable computing technology has progressed to a stage where it is now possible to achieve orders of magnitude performance and power efficiency gains over conventional computer architectures for a subset of high ...
Cross-layer RaCM design for vertically integrated wireless networks
(2010)
Wireless local and metropolitan area network (WLAN/WMAN) technologies, more specifically IEEE 802.11 (or wireless fidelity, WiFi) and IEEE 802.16 (or wireless interoperability for microwave access, WiMAX), are well-suited ...
HOOD : a Higher-Order Object-Oriented Database model and its implementation
(1992)
There is no accepted standard for the object-oriented database paradigm at present, which has led to different definitions of features and conformance requirements. HOOD is a Higher-Order Object-Oriented Database system ...
Specification and implementation of the Larch shared language
(1989)
This project aims to prototype formal specification in Larch. The motivation for looking at formal specifications stems from an appreciation of the problem outlined above, frustration with current methods, and a desire to ...
A foundation for ontology modularisation
(2017)
There has been great interest in realising the Semantic Web. Ontologies are used to define Semantic Web applications. Ontologies have grown to be large and complex to the point where it causes cognitive overload for humans, ...
Accelerating point cloud cleaning
(2017)
Capturing the geometry of a large heritage site via laser scanning can produce thousands of high resolution range scans. These must be cleaned to remove unwanted artefacts. We identified three areas that can be improved ...
