Self-tuning Linux Kernel Performance Using Support Vector Machines
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)In this chapter, we provide the motivation and background behind the automatic optimisation of an operating system. We begin with a discussion of some of the difficulties of automatic operating system optimisation and ... -
Semantic data access for relational databases using an ontology
(University of the Western Cape, 2024)Data analysis-based decision-making is performed daily by domain experts. As data grows in size and heterogeneity, accessing relevant data becomes challenging. In an Ontology-based data access (OBDA) approach, ontologies ... -
Semi-synchronous video for deaf telephony with an adapted synchronous codec
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)As Information and Communication Technology (ICT) matures, communication services must be improved to meet the needs of all types of users. For some uses, current Video over Internet Protocol (IP) brings unsatisfactory ... -
SIP-based content development for wireless mobile devices with delay constraints
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)SIP is receiving much attention these days and it seems to be the most promising candidate as a signaling protocol for the current and future IP telephony services. Realizing this, there is the obvious need to provide a ... -
SIP-based location service provision
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)Location-based service (LBS) is a geographical location-related service that provides highly personalized services for users. It is a platform for network operators to provide new and innovative ways of increasing profits ... -
Situation-aware routing for wireless mesh networks with mobile nodes
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)This thesis demonstrates that a situation-aware algorithm improves quality of service on small mesh networks running BATMAN-adv with some mobile nodes. BATMAN-adv is a proactive mesh routing protocol that counts beacons ... -
