    A mobile ad hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile devices which dynamically form a temporary network, without using any existing network infrastructure or centralised administration. Each node in the network ...
  • Fingerprinting Encrypted Tunnel Endpoints 
    Izadinia, Vafa Dario (University of Pretoria, 2005)
    Operating System fingerprinting is a reconnaissance method used by Whitehats and Blackhats alike. Current techniques for fingerprinting do not take into account tunneling protocols, such as IPSec, SSL/TLS, and SSH, which ...
  • Decentralising the codification of rules in a decision support expert knowledge base 
    De Kock, Erika (University of Pretoria, 2005-04-06)
    The paradigm of Decision Support Systems (DSS) is to support decision-making, while an Expert System’s (ES) major objective is to provide expert advice in specialised situations. Knowledge-Based DSS (KB-DSS), also called ...
  • Resource sharing in distributed peer-to-peer internet applications 
    Danzfuss, Theodor Louis Ferdinand (University of Pretoria, 2005-05-05)
    A dissertation presented on distributed Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Internet applications, focusing on distributed resource sharing as a P2P application. The history of Internet applications is researched to point out the roots of ...
  • Team work in distributed collaborative virtual environments 
    Goebbels, Gernot Peter Josef (University of Pretoria, 2005-07-12)
    Today’s technology and advances in networking and telecommunications stimulate a change in the way everyday business is carried out, making it a globally distributed process, in which communication and collaboration of ...
  • Performance measurement as a tool for software engineering 
    Van Aardt, Jan Markus (University of Pretoria, 2005-07-26)
    Some software development teams regard software performance measurement as a mere luxury. When it happens, it often tends to be infrequent, insufficient and subjective. Countless software projects were sent into an ...
  • Niching strategies for particle swarm optimization 
    Brits, Riaan (University of Pretoria, 2005-09-09)
    Evolutionary algorithms and swarm intelligence techniques have been shown to successfully solve optimization problems where the goal is to find a single optimal solution. In multimodal domains where the goal is the locate ...
  • The engineering of emergence in complex adaptive systems 
    Potgieter, Anna Elizabeth Gezina (University of Pretoria, 2005-09-22)
    Agent-oriented software engineering is a new software engineering paradigm that is ideally suited to the analysis and design of complex systems. Open distributed environments place a growing demand on complex systems to ...
  • A case-study based assessment of Agile software development 
    Theunissen, William Herman Morkel (University of Pretoria, 2005-09-30)
    This study set out to determine various aspects of the agile approaches to software development. These included an investigation into the principles and practices driving these methodologies; determining the applicability ...
  • The Axial line placement problem 
    Sanders, Ian Douglas (University of Pretoria, 2005-10-17)
    Visibility, guarding and polygon decomposition are problems in the field of compu¬tational geometry which have roots in real world applications. These problems have been the focus of much research over a number of years. ...
