Global Computing is a massively networked infrastructure supporting a large population of diverse but cooperating entities. The composition and characteristics of this infrastructure will be both dynamic and unpredictable. ...

Over the last decades, the increase in demand for road transportation has traditionally been matched by an expansion of the road network to prevent or reduce traffic congestion. This approach is unsustainable in the long ...

There is a lack of consensus on the nature of the process of linking; that is, how the conceptual form of thoughts determines the form of the spoken expressions used to describe them. Prominent theories of argument structure ...

Computer systems that employ autonomous robots have been demonstrated in many areas including entertainment (e.g., robot soccer), defense (e.g., reconnaissance) and homeland security (e.g., disaster rescue). To ensure ...

The widespread employment of the Internet facilitates collaboration and the use of distributed applications. Security concerns, such as controlled access to resources are preeminent. Often different applications employ ...

The challenges for academics in meeting the learning requirements of students are many and varied. This research focuses on the concept of personalised learning, where activities are specifically selected to suit the ...

Traversing an acceleration data structure, such as the Bounding Volume Hierarchy or kD-tree, takes a significant amount of the total time to render a frame in real-time ray tracing. We present a two phase algorithm based ...

Provision of connections with low end-to-end latency is one of the most challenging requirements in 5G. In most use cases the target is for < 100ms latency, while for some applications it is < 10ms. In part, this reflects ...
