The growing demand for cloud-based services and high-performance computing has spurred interest in new datacenter architectures. The network inside the data center is quite different from wide-area and local-area networks that have been the subject of intensive research over the…
The sociology and economics of the conduct of international e-health technology transfers (IeTTs) is examined. Most African countries are perennial recipients with variations in their domestic e-health utilisation, development and implementation. We identify, explore, and demons…
With the increasing access to mobile devices in developing countries, the number of pilots and projects embracing mobile devices as learning tools is also growing. The important role it can play in improving education is also positively received within education communities. But…
This dissertation presents and discusses the processes of investigation, implementation, testing, validation and evaluation of several computational intelligence-based systems for solving four large-scale real-world problems. In particular, two industrial problems from the patte…
This work investigates the optimisation of Quality of Service (QoS) levels through experimentation on streaming multimedia applications with WiMAX. This work initially tests two algorithms, the intelligent Adaptive Buffer Control (iABC) and the Bandwidth Fluctuation Location Bas…
This research targeted complex abstract concepts in Computer Science and focused on bringing about the visualisation of such concepts using virtual world technologies. The research proposed the use of virtual world elements to support the understanding and learning of six comput…
This research used a case study based approach to test Abts’ CBS Functional Density Rule of Thumb (Abts, 2002; 2004) and to identify the factors influencing the costs of COTS-based systems by means of statistical analysis of a large component dataset from IBM, Grounded Theory an…
This thesis reports on research to develop the first adaptive learning system for the Arabic language. The research also develops the first robust translation of the Felder-Soloman Index of Learning Styles (ILS) instrument into Arabic. Literal translation of the ILS applied to a…
Contemporary computer interfaces are frequently designed using multiple media, including images, audio, and animation. These digital interaction modalities were conceptualized, implemented, and popularized within an interdisciplinary network of collaboration at the edges of prev…
