Most modern programming languages are complex and feature rich. Whilst this is (sometimes) an advantage for industrial-strength applications, it complicates both language teaching and language research. We describe our ...

Network-centric computing aims to solve the problems associated with traditional client/server systems, namely the high performance requirements, and costly maintenance of, the computing resources. With the network-centric ...

We devise a PON upstream scheduler that jointly manages intra-ONT and inter-ONT capacity across VNOs. This provides balancing between throughput and delay, providing SLA-oriented QoS supporting low latency 5G applications ...

The research begins by asserting that a change in the movement of the muscle group responsible for executing a facial action unit permits one to ascertain the person?s emotional state. The connection between muscle movements ...

Data processing is increasingly becoming the subject of various policies and regulations, such as the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that came into effect in May 2018. One important aspect of GDPR is ...

This article proposes a new technique for Privacy Preserving Collaborative Filtering (PPCF) based on microaggregation, which provides accurate recommendations estimated from perturbed data whilst guaranteeing user k-anonymity. ...

Pervasive computing represents a vision of networked computers being distributed throughout our everyday environment in order to transparently provide services to people. The use of sensors enables the deployment of so-called ...

Java is increasingly used to develop large server applications. In order to provide powerful platforms for such applications a number of projects have proposed Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) that are based on network ...

South Africa has one of the most serious human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) / and tuberculosis (TB) epidemics in the world, with high incidence, prevalence and co-infection rates. Information is at the heart of managing ...

Many Internet security mechanisms depend on the use of cryptographic algorithms for various forms of authentication and confidentiality. Even when well-known and standardized cryptographic algorithms are used in well-known ...
