Exploring the factors affecting the adoption of e-assessments among the computer and information science programmes in a Higher Education Institution in the Middle East (HEIME)
The rapid development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) opened up new possibilities for teaching and assessment practices in higher education. This has encouraged educational institutions worldwide to change assessment format from paper-based to computer-based assessments. In the …

Designing a social website to encourage networking among women students at conferences
The percentage of women participating in computer science has been disturbingly low, and the number of computer and information science degrees earned by women has been on a downward trend. Several conferences have been put in place to address this issue, but networking at these conferences is …

Joint clustering of hospitals based on their adminission behavior for different diseases using network of networks data model
… data-driven insights into their clinical and operational decisions. One such insight involves clustering hospitals based on similarities in their monthly admission behavior, which can help ensure that the supply of healthcare services meets the population’s needs. Since diagnosis plays a …

Adaptive combinations of classifiers with application to on-line handwritten character recognition
… performance in a user-dependent system, and even though adaptation is usually performed on the classifier level, also adaptive committees can be very effective. Adaptive committees have the distinct ability of performing adaptation without detailed knowledge of the classifiers. Adaptation …

You don't know what you don't know: Investigating the information needs of clients of web based public sector information services
… frustration experienced when attempting to find information on websites; especially government websites. Often the sites were loaded down with all sorts of information such as corporate organisation charts and press releases but lacked the information which would allow clients to interact …

Effective visualisation of callgraphs for optimisation of parallel programs: a design study
… used to perform scientific calculations on supercomputers. Optimising parallel applications to scale well, and ensuring maximum parallelisation, is a challenging task. The performance of parallel programs is affected by a range of factors, such as limited network bandwidth, parallel algorithms, …

Parallelization in Rust with fork-join and friends: Creating the fork-join framework
This thesis describes the design, implementation and benchmarking of a work stealing fork-join library, called ForkJoin, for the new language Rust. Rust is a programming language with a novel approach to memory safety and concurrency, and guarantees memory safety through zero-cost abstractions and …

Comparing Programming Languages in Google Code Jam
… The goal of this study is to identify weakness and strengths of some popular programming languages based on how they are used in practice by professional programming contestants. This study empirically examines five programming languages: C, C#, C++, Python and Java. The characteristics of the …

Statistical parsing and unambiguous word representation in OpenCog’s Unsupervised Language Learning project
… steps of the pipeline, including the selection and pre-processing of useful text collections to build and test its performance, as well as the syntactic learning loop in which the system obtains statistics from sentences in a given corpus and leverages them to implicitly learn the syntactic …

Security Analysis of Machine Monitoring Sensor Communication A threat modeling process implementation and evaluation
… connected to the Internet is increasing rapidly and the system that controls them are becoming more and more complex. Using these devices in products and system has the potential to lower costs, increase performance and provide new functionality. A substantial amount of these devices are used in …

Evaluating interactions and decision-making by annotators and users in computer vision systems
Understanding how humans interact with and are influenced by intelligent systems is essential for improving their design and effectiveness. Although computer vision research has largely centered on algorithmic advances, these increasingly complex systems are ultimately used by people whose …

Image Classification With Unstructured Collections
Most methods for scene understanding in computer vision consider the analysis of a single image or video. However, there is also a long history in multi-view analysis. Having information from multiple views can provide many benefits, such as estimating depth, mitigating issues of occlusion, and …

REPRESENTATION LEARNING FOR VISUAL TASKS: A STUDY OF ATTENTION AND INFORMATION SELECTION
… learning by optimizing attention mechanisms and information selection strategies within deep learning models. Standard approaches often process images independently and compress them into single global descriptors, limiting performance on tasks requiring contextual understanding or …

Partial Image Decoding On The GPU For Mobile Web Browsers
… by partially decoding JPEG images on the CPU, and offloading the rest of the process to the GPU. Both the decoding- and encoding process of the JPEG format will be investigated to determine which parts of the decoding process would be suited to be performed on the GPU. The study will show that …
