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 ...
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 ...
Facilitating the modelling and automated analysis of cryptographic protocols
(2001)
Multi-dimensional security protocol engineering is effective for creating cryptographic protocols since it encompasses a variety of design, analysis and deployment techniques, thereby providing a higher level of confidence ...
Epistemology as the basis for a corporate memory model
(2001)
Epistemology is the philosophical study of knowledge; it attempts to understand which beliefs a person can claim to know. This thesis discusses how theories found in epistemology can be used to understand what knowledge ...
A framework for building spatiotemporal applications in Java
(2001)
A relatively new area of study that first received attention during the past decade explores how spatiotemporal data can be efficiently used in applications and stored in databases. Spatial data includes the locations or ...
Extraction of surface texture data from low quality photographs to aid the construction of virtual reality models of archaeological sites
(2001)
A tool has been designed and implemented to use information extracted from photographs captured using uncalibrated cameras (so-called casual photographs) to fill the occlusions which occur in three-dimensional models of ...
Symbolic techniques for the performance analysis of generalised stochastic petri nets
(2001)
Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) have been successfully used in sequential circuit theory, VLSI, and model checking. They form a highly memory efficient canonical representation of a Boolean function. In this dissertation, ...
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 ...
