End-to-end single-rate multicast congestion detection using support vector machines
(2008)
IP multicast is an efficient mechanism for simultaneously transmitting bulk data to multiple receivers. Many applications can benefit from multicast, such as audio and videoconferencing, multi-player games, multimedia ...
Policy based network management of legacy network elements in next generation networks for voice services
(University of the Western Cape, 2002)
Telecommunication companies, service providers and large companies are now
adapting converged multi-service Next Generation Networks (NGNs). Network
management is shifting from managing Network Elements (NE) to managing ...
Virtual human modelling and animation for real-time sign language visualisation
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
This thesis investigates the modelling and animation of virtual humans for real-time sign language visualisation. Sign languages are fully developed natural languages used by Deaf communities all over the world. These ...
Carrier grade adaptation for an IP-based multimodal application server: moving the softbridge into SLEE
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
Providing carrier grade characteristics for Internet Protocol (IP) communication applications is a significant problem for IP application providers in order to offer integrated services that span IP and telecommunication ...
Affective gesture fast-track feedback instant messaging (AGFIM)
(University of Western Cape, 2005)
Text communication is often perceived as lacking some components of communication that are essential in sustaining interaction or conversation. This interaction incoherency tends to make text communication plastic. It is ...
A digital identity management system
(UWC, 2007)
The recent years have seen an increase in the number of users accessing online services using communication devices such as computers, mobile phones and cards based credentials such as credit cards. This has prompted most ...
Ellection markup language (EML) based tele-voting system
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
Elections are one of the most fundamental activities of a democratic society. As is the case in any other aspect of life, developments in technology have resulted changes in the voting procedure from using the traditional ...
Chereme-based recognition of isolated, dynamic gestures from South African sign language with Hidden Markov Models
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
Much work has been done in building systems that can recognize gestures, e.g. as a component of sign language recognition systems. These systems typically use whole gestures as the smallest unit for recognition. Although ...
Metric of trust for mobile ad hoc networks using source routing algorithms
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
This thesis proposed and presented technical details of new probabilistic metrics of trust in the links wireless ad hoc networks for unobservable communications. In covert communication networks, only the end nodes are ...
The Complexity of Splay Trees and Skip Lists
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
Our main results are that splay trees are faster for sorted insertion, where AVL trees are faster for random insertion. For searching, skip lists are faster than single class top-down splay trees, but two-class and multi-class ...
