Toward Authentication Mechanisms for Wi-Fi Mesh Networks
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
Wi-Fi authentication mechanisms include central authentication, dynamic and distributed authentication and some encryption methods. Most of the existing authentication methods were designed for single-hop networks, as ...
Smart renewable energy : architectures, dimensioning and monitoring
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
The Smart Renewable Energy project at the University of The Western Cape, under the guidance of the Intelligent Systems and Advanced Telecommunication (ISAT) group, aims at developing a dynamic system that enables users ...
Performance estimation of wireless networks using traffic generation and monitoring on a mobile device.
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
In this study, a traffic generator software package namely MTGawn was developed to run packet generation and evaluation on a mobile device. The call generating software system is able to: simulate voice over Internet ...
Autonomous facial expression recognition using the facial action coding system
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
The South African Sign Language research group at the University of the Western Cape is in the process of creating a fully-edged machine translation system to automatically translate between South African Sign Language and ...
Recognition of facial action units from video streams with recurrent neural networks : a new paradigm for facial expression recognition
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
This research investigated the application of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) for recognition of facial expressions based on facial action coding system (FACS). Support vector machines (SVMs) were used to validate the ...
The strategic role of software development within the software industry of the Western Cape (South Africa)
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
Africa’s mobile phone penetration has surpassed that of the United States of America and information communication technologies, according to the World Bank, contribute more to its gross domestic product than the global ...
South African Sign Language Hand Shape and Orientation Recognition on Mobile Devices Using Deep Learning
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
In order to classify South African Sign Language as a signed gesture, five fundamental parameters need to be considered. These five parameters to be considered are: hand shape, hand orientation, hand motion, hand location ...
Towards a unified modelling framework for adaptive networks.
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
Adaptive networks are complex networks with nontrivial topological features and connection patterns between their elements which are neither purely regular nor purely random. Their applications are in sociology, biology, ...
Towards ensuring scalability, interoperability and efficient access control in a triple-domain grid-based environment
(2012)
The high rate of grid computing adoption, both in academe and industry, has posed
challenges regarding efficient access control, interoperability and scalability. Although several methods have been proposed to address ...
Development of a health management information system using agile software-engineering methods
(2013)
The purpose of this thesis is to discuss the development of a web application
from scratch. It serves to build a health management information system from
basic principles and covers all the software engineering activities ...
