De-interleaving of Radar Pulses for EW Receivers with an ELINT Application by Aldossary, Mohammad

“…Before proposing the solution, on-line de-interleaving algorithms were surveyed. Density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) is a clustering algorithm that has not been used before in de-interleaving; in this dissertation, it has proved to be effective. …”

Parametric freeform-based construction site layout optimization by Abotaleb, Ibrahim

“…The developed model is capable of modeling any rectilinear and non-rectilinear site shapes, especially splines, since it utilizes a parametric modeling software. The model also has the ability to mimic the “dynamic” behavior of the objects’ shapes through the introduction and development of three different algorithms for dynamic shapes; where the geometrical shapes representing site facilities automatically modify their geometrical forms to fit in strict areas on site. …”

SdrLift: A Domain-Specific Intermediate Hardware Synthesis Framework for Prototyping Software-Defined Radios by Tsoeunyane, Lekhobola Joachim

“…In order to alleviate these problems, Domain-Specific Languages (DSL) have been introduced to capture algorithms at a high level of abstraction with more expressive power and providing domain-specific optimizations that factor in new transformations and the trade-off between resource utilization and system performance. …”

Ant Colony Optimization approaches for the Sequential Ordering Problem by Ezzar, Ahmed Mohamed Alaa El-din

“…The second is also an extension of EACS, based on Jayadeva et al.'s (2013) EigenAnt algorithm. EigenAnt aims to avoid the problem of stagnation found in ACO algorithms by, among other unique properties, utilizing a selective rather than global pheromone evaporation model, and by discarding heuristics in the solution construction phase. …”

Kalman Filtering and its Application to On-Line State Estimation of a Once-Through Boiler by Patel, Zubeida

“…The second part of this thesis uses these algorithms to demonstrate the feasibility of on-line state estimation on the main components of a once-through utility power boiler that require in excess of a hundred state variables to capture its behaviour with adequate fidelity. …”

The development of satellite derived nitrate and stratification indices for the southern Benguela ecosystem by Khumalo, Madoda Brian

“…There were however two concerns that needed further consideration in the approach: 1).The large warm bias discovered between the in situ and remotely sensed temperatures which had a direct influence on the validity of the algorithms in the ecosystem and 2.) The temporal and spatial disconnects between the physical forcing and biological response of the ecosystem and subsequent impact upon the utility of the remotely sensed proxies.…”

A domain specific language for facilitating automatic parallelization and placement of SDR patterns into heterogeneous computing architectures by Mohapi, Lerato Jerfree

“…Advanced task and data parallel patterns were applied in the OptiSDR dataflow MoCs, which are especially suitable for SDR computations where FPGA-based realtime data acquisition systems feed data into multi-GPUs for implementation of parallel DSP algorithms. Furthermore, the research methodology involved an evaluation process that was used to determine the OptiSDR language's expressive power, efficiency, performance, accuracy, and ease of use in SDR applications, such as radar pulse compression and radio frequency sweeping algorithms. …”
