[Re]connected and on track integrating the Nelson Mandela Bay commuter rail line with the Swartkops area through a re-imagined future by Hill, Robert

“…This corridor of activity becomes defined by the thresholds it crosses in, and how these thresholds or edges are defined: the township to natural edge, the commerical corridor to residential edge, and the estuary to activity edge.Through these interventions, the village of Swartkops becomes a focal node in the urban fabric of Nelson Mandela Bay, and is integrated with its adjacent neighbourhoods, though a mobility corridor that links all these elements together through the creation of a safe, walkable and meaningful space, in the pursuit of a more spatially just urban landscape…”

Network intrusion prevention in the evolved packet core utilising software defined networks and network function virtualisation by Jarvis, Keagan

“…This research aims to utilise SDN and NFV to mitigate this issue by only allowing for critical network paths to be traversable in a virtualised CN without triggering alerts and node quarantines. The CN of a MN controls/manages all network traffic flows through the mobile network from User Equipment (UE) to a backhaul network (e.g., the Internet). …”
