A Proactive Adaptation Framework for Composite Web Services
Service orientation is a design paradigm consisting of a set of principles governed by a service-oriented architecture (SOA) to support the creation of software systems as a composition of interoperable services. The ability to effectively compose services is not a trivial task due to the dynamic …

Rule Extraction from Support Vector Machines: A Geometric Approach
Despite the success of connectionist systems in prediction and classi¯cation problems, critics argue that the lack of symbol processing and explanation capability makes them less competitive than symbolic systems. Rule extraction from neural networks makes the interpretation of the behaviour of …

Structured polyphonic patterns
The present dissertation develops, applies and evaluates a novel method for the representation and retrieval of patterns in musical data. The method supports the typical polyphonic patterns that one finds in music theory textbooks. Most current computational methods to musical patterns are …

Evaluation of using web 2.0 technologies in diabetes education for adolescent and young patients
Diabetes Mellitius is a major chronic disease with multi-organ involvement and high-cost implications. Although it has been demonstrated that structured education can control the risk of developing these complications, there is a substantial room for improvement in the educational services for …

The use of XML schema and XSLT rules for product information personalization
This thesis describes research carried out in order to help solve the problem of personalization in e-commerce/CRM system. Web-based personalization consists of activities, such as providing customised information, that tailor the user's Web experience- browsing a Web site or purchasing a product, …

The construction and evaluation of statistical models of melodic structure in music perception and composition
The prevalent approach to developing cognitive models of music perception and composition is to construct systems of symbolic rules and constraints on the basis of extensive music-theoretic and music-analytic knowledge. The thesis proposed in this dissertation is that statistical models which …

Assessing the evolution of social networks in e-learning
This research provides a new approach to analysing the evolutionary nature of social networks that are formed around computer-mediated-communication (CMQ in e-Learning courses. Aspects that have been studied include Online Communities and student communication e-Learning environments. The …

The Implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems in Different National and Organisational Cultures
ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) packages provide generic off-the-shelf business and software solutions to customers. However, these packages are implemented in companies with different organisational and national cultures, and there is growing evidence that failure to adapt ERP packages to fit …

Evolutionary computing techniques to aid the acquisition and analysis of nuclear magnetic resonance data
Evolutionary computation, including genetic algorithms and genetic programming have taken the ideas of evolution in biology and applied some of the characteristics to problem solving. The survival of the fittest paradigm allows a population of candidate solutions to be modified by sexual and …

Social interactions of computer games : an activity framework
With the advent of computer games, the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) community has begun studying games, often with the intention of uncovering useful information to inform the design of work-based software. However, most HCI research on computer games focuses on the use of game technologies, …

Mobilisation of support for the Palestinian cause : A comparative study of political change at the communal, regional and global levels
Those who study world politics are divided between the traditional Realist paradigm, which depicts an international political system dominated by states involved in a 'power struggle' in pursuit of their 'national interest', and an emergent approach that includes in the analysis a wider range of …

Intelligent monitoring of a complex, non-linear system using artificial neural networks
This project uses advanced modelling techniques to produce a design for a computer based advisory system for the operator of a critical, complex, non-linear system, typified by a nuclear reactor. When such systems are in fault the operator has to promptly assess the problem and commence remedial …

Analogical specification reuse during requirements analysis
This thesis investigates analogy as a paradigm for retrieving, understanding and customising reusable specifications during requirements engineering. Cooperation between software engineers and support tools is necessary for effective analogical reuse. Retrieval uses a computational implementation …

The analysis and acquisition of proper names for robust text understanding
In this thesis we consider the problems that Proper Names cause in the analysis of unedited, naturally-occurring text. Proper Names cause problems because of their high frequency in many types of text, their poor coverage in conventional dictionaries, their importance in the text understanding …

A requirements engineering method for COTS-based systems development
An increasing number of organisations are procuring off-the-shelf software products from commercial suppliers. However, there has been a lack of methods and software tools for such requirements acquisition, product selection and product procurement. This thesis proposes a new method called PORE …

Physical and chemical properties of artificial soil with humified and non-humified organic matters
Considerable research has been carried out on organic soils which consist of various components of organic matter but the effect of particular organic matter is less reported. This may cause some of the contributing factors of each organic matter are not well understood because each type of organic …

New composite coagulant from agro-waste (tapioca peel) and polyaluminium chloride for primary landfill leachate treatment
Coagulation-flocculation is one of the applications that work efficiently for stabilised leachate treatment, alongside the utilisation of chemical coagulants. On the contrary, the use of chemical coagulants has certain drawbacks towards the health of the ecosystem and living organisms. Hence, this …
