Content-prioritised video coding for British Sign Language communication (2007)
Thesis
Muir, L. J. Content-prioritised video coding for British Sign Language communication. (Thesis). Robert Gordon University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/9351

Video communication of British Sign Language (BSL) is important for remote interpersonal communication and for the equal provision of services for deaf people. However, the use of video telephony and video conferencing applications for BSL communicat... Read More about Content-prioritised video coding for British Sign Language communication.

A software framework for the microscopic modelling of pedestrian movement (2007)
Thesis
Kukla, R. (2007). A software framework for the microscopic modelling of pedestrian movement. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3927

A town planner, faced with the task of designing attractive walking spaces, needs a tool that will allow different designs to be compared in terms of their attractiveness as well as their effectiveness. PEDFLOW is an attempt to create such a tool. It... Read More about A software framework for the microscopic modelling of pedestrian movement.

Solving vehicle routing problems using multipleant colonies and deterministic approaches (2007)
Thesis
Sa'adah, S. Solving vehicle routing problems using multipleant colonies and deterministic approaches. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/9469

In the vehicle routing problem with time windows VRPTW, there arc two main objectives. The primary objective is to reduce the number of vehicles, the secondary one is to minimise the total distance travelled by all vehicles. This thesis describes som...

Automated process of network documentation (2007)
Thesis
Campbell, B. Automated process of network documentation. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4048

Knowledge of network topologies is invaluable to system administrators regardless of the size of an enterprise. Yet this information is time consuming to collect, and even more so to be processed into easily consumable formats (i.e. visual maps). Thi...

Risk Modelling at the Pre-Proposal Stages of eGovernment Service Projects (2007)
Thesis
Evangelidis, A. Risk Modelling at the Pre-Proposal Stages of eGovernment Service Projects. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/7309

eGovernment is a relatively new, but rapidly expanding, domain; mainly due to the perceived outcomes that it may bring to the public administration. Founded on the premise that eGovernment programmes may increase efficiency and effectiveness, decreas... Read More about Risk Modelling at the Pre-Proposal Stages of eGovernment Service Projects.
