-
(University of Pretoria, 2017)Mobile devices form an integral part of our daily lives and have the potential to be used as tools to curb crime. In recent years, many criminal activities have gone unsolved due to a lack of sufficient evidence to convict ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2017)Privacy entails controlling the use and access to place, location and personal information. In South Africa, the first privacy legislation in the form of the Protection of Personal Information (POPI) Act (Act 4 of 2013) ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2017)This dissertation presents an analysis of the angle modulated particle swarm optimisation (AMPSO) algorithm. AMPSO is a technique that enables one to solve binary optimisation problems with particle swarm optimisation ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2017)Current computing hardware supports parallelism at various levels. Conventional programming techniques, however, do not utilise efficiently this growing resource. This thesis seeks a better fit between software and current ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2017)Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a well-known stochastic population-based search algorithm, originally developed by Kennedy and Eberhart in 1995. Given PSO's success at solving numerous real world problems, a large ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2017)The digital in-line holographic configuration is motivated by the goal of developing a portable, cost effective sensor system for pre-screening patient blood samples. The theory of holography is explained from the foundational ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2016)The need for storing and retrieving knowledge about algorithms is addressed by creating a specialised information management scheme. This scheme is operationalised in terms of a topic map of algorithms. Metadata are ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2016)This thesis presents an analysis of the nature of volunteered geographical information (VGI) and on its applicability for use in a spatial data infrastructure (SDI) to supplement official and commercial sources, particularly ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2016)Over the past decade, wireless mobile communication technology based on the IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) has been adopted worldwide on a massive scale. However, as the number of wireless users has ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2016)Digital forensics is a growing field that is gaining popularity among many computer professionals, law enforcement agencies, investigators and other digital forensic practitioners. For this reason, several investigation ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2016)A Failure Deterministic Finite Automaton (FDFA) o ers a deterministic and a compact representation of an automaton that is used by various algorithms to solve pattern matching problems e ciently. An abstract, concept lattice ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2015)Enterprise architecture (EA) has gained increasing dominance in organisations as a strategic enabler to manage complexity. However, most organisations are still finding it challenging to materialise the full benefits of ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2014)The increasing complexity of software applications can lead to operational failures that have disastrous consequences. In order to prevent the recurrence of such failures, a thorough post-mortem investigation is required ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2016)Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms have been successfully applied to discrete-valued optimization problems. However, in many cases the algorithms have been tailored specifically for the problem at hand. This study ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2015)Light beam tracing is an e cient rendering algorithm for simulating caustics, the envelopes of light that are scattered from shiny curved surfaces and focussed into lines or spots of concentrated light. Light beam tracing ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2015)Recent decades have seen a significant increase in the importance of the field of digital forensics as a result of the rapid development of information and communication technologies and their penetration into every ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2015)In the 21st century, our worlds are becoming increasingly digitised and the business world is no exception. Financial transactions and accounting data are stored electronically, allowing for sharing and electronic ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2015)Cloud computing is a relatively new computing paradigm that builds upon virtualisation technologies to provide hardware, platforms and software as services over the Internet. The cloud can be deployed in four basic ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2014)The phenomenon of overfitting, where a feed-forward neural network (FFNN) over trains on training data at the cost of generalisation accuracy is known to be speci c to the training algorithm used. This study investigates ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2014)Semantic approaches have been used to facilitate interoperability in different fields of study. Current literature, however, shows that the semantic approach has not been used to facilitate the interoperability of addresses ...
