Evaluation of community preferences for decentralised water management systems: a case study in Akaroa, Banks Peninsula
… water use in the summer and new requirements for decentralised water management systems for new construction have been used to alleviate the burden of town water supply. Rainwater harvesting systems (RWHS) and greywater reuse system (GWRS) both represent potential options to decentralise the …

Towards a worldwide storage infrastructure
Peer-to-peer systems have recently gained a lot of attention in the academic community especially through the design of KBR (Key-Based Routing) algorithms and DHT (Distributed Hash Table)s. On top of these constructs were built promising applications such as video streaming applications but also …

The effect of fiscal decentralisation on the financial condition of district municipalities
The adoption of decentralised systems of governance in its various forms across the world represents one of the most important reforms of the past generation. In South Africa, through a plethora of legislative reforms post 1994, the framework of developmentalism and decentralisation underpin the …

A structural method for the design of fault tolerant distributed control systems
Distributed digital control systems provide alternatives to conventional, centralised digital control systems. Typically, a modern distributed control system will comprise a multi-processor or network of processors, a communications network, an associated set of sensors and actuators, and the …

Explanations for Autonomous Agents
… seen an accelerated development of agents and systems capable of sophisticated autonomous behaviour. As the consequences of such agents' actions begin to manifest in society, the need for understanding their decisions motivates the study of mechanisms for obtaining explanations that are …

Energy Sensitive Urban Water Planning in Developing Countries: Unlocking the Potential of Distributed Recycled Water Systems to Reduce the Overall Energy Intensity for Urban Water Services
… the potential for distributed recycled water systems (decentralised systems connected to centralised systems) to reduce the overall energy intensity of urban water and wastewater systems in a developing country context. The literature review revealed that the energy intensity of treatment …

Agent-based open connectivity for decision support systems
… discourages the development of Decision Support Systems (DSSs) is the un-standardised DSS environment. Computers that support modern business processes are no longer stand-alone systems, but have become tightly connected both with each other and their users. Therefore, having a standardised …

Accelerating the Commercial Implementation of Electromethanogenic Reactors
… However, traditional anaerobic digestion (AD) systems are often economically and technically unsuitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), limiting broader adoption. In contrast, electromethanogenic reactors offer a next-generation solution: scalable, decentralised systems that couple …
