Modulating application behaviour for closely coupled intrusion detection
(2003)
This thesis presents a security measure that is closely coupled to applications. This distinguishes it from conventional security measures which tend to operate at the infrastructure level (network, operating system or ...
Speech perception in virtual environments
(2005)
Many virtual environments like interactive computer games, educational software or training simulations make use of speech to convey important information to the user. These applications typically present a combination of ...
Introduction to Java programming for the high school student
(2004)
The objective of this project was to evaluate the effectiveness of teaching high school students the Java language utilising Java classes. These classes were designed to simplify the syntax of the language and to introduce ...
Semiotic machines : software in discourse
(2008)
This study develops new theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of software as a medium of communication. This study analyses voting software, educational software, search engines, and combat and narrative ...
A novel interface for first person shooter games on personal digital assistant devices
(2008)
The main aim of this study is to enhance the playability of games on current standard PDA devices. The newly designed interface more effectively leverages current well-established devices, which solves the problem of rapidly ...
A web browsing workload model for simulation
(2004)
The simulation of packet switched networks depends on accurate web workload models as input for network models. We derived a workload model for traffic generated by an individual browsing the web. We derived the workload ...
Flexible packaging methodologies for rapid deployment of customisable component-based digital libraries
(2006)
Software engineering is a discipline concerned with manufacturing or developing software. Software plays a pivotal role in everyday life, an absence of which will be devastating to a number of governmental, recreational ...
A lossy, dictionary -based method for short message service (SMS) text compression
(2009)
Short message service (SMS) message compression allows either more content to be fitted into a single message or fewer individual messages to be sent as part of a concatenated (or long) message. While essentially only ...
A linear framework for character skinning
(2007)
Character animation is the process of modelling and rendering a mobile character in a virtual world. It has numerous applications both off-line, such as virtual actors in films, and real-time, such as in games and other ...
Model driven segmentation and the detection of bone fractures
(2004)
The introduction of lower dosage image acquisition devices and the increase in computational power means that there is an increased focus on producing diagnostic aids for the medical trauma environment. The focus of this ...
