    The proliferation of cloud resources among organizations has had numerous benefits with regard to how business processes are conducted. However, despite the benefits, the cloud has not been very resilient due to how it is ...
  • Particle swarm optimization : understanding order-2 stability guarantees 
    Cleghorn, Christopher Wesley (Springer, 2019-03)
    This paper’s primary aim is to provide clarity on which guarantees about particle stability can actually be made. The particle swarm optimization algorithm has undergone a considerable amount of theoretical analysis. ...
  • Co‐evolved genetic programs for stock market trading 
    Nicholls, Jason Frederick; Engelbrecht, Andries P. (Wiley, 2019-07)
    The profitability of trading rules evolved by three different optimised genetic programs, namely a single population genetic program (GP), a co‐operative co‐evolved GP, and a competitive co‐evolved GP is compared. Profitability ...
  • Optimized Security-aware VM placement algorithm 
    Thulo, Motlatsi Isaac (University of Pretoria, 2019)
    The rapidly increasing dependency on use of clouds results in Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) having to deal with high cloud services demands. To meet these demands, CSPs take advantage of virtualization technology to provide ...
  • Digital forensic readiness for IOT devices 
    Kruger, Jaco-Louis (University of Pretoria, 2019)
    The Internet of Things (IoT) has evolved to be an important part of modern society. IoT devices can be found in several environments such as smart homes, transportation, the health sector, smart cities and even facilitates ...
  • Combating Data Leakage in the Cloud 
    Dlamini, Moses Thandokuhle (University of Pretoria, 2020)
    The increasing number of reports on data leakage incidents increasingly erodes the already low consumer confidence in cloud services. Hence, some organisations are still hesitant to fully trust the cloud with their ...
  • The impact of genetic programming in education 
    Pillay, Nelishia (Springer, 2020-06)
    Since its inception genetic programming, and later variations such as grammar-based genetic programming and grammatical evolution, have contributed to various domains such as classification, image processing, search-based ...
  • Digital behavioral-fingerprint for user attribution in digital forensics : are we there yet? 
    Ikuesan, Adeyemi Richard; Venter, H.S. (Hein) (Elsevier, 2019-09)
