Key challenges facing water resource management in South Africa

Author: Ashton, P ; Hardwick, D Date: Nov 2008 The paper discusses geographic reality; water availability and water security as well as the challenges and opportunities facing water resource managers and the importance of good governance Read more
Key considerations in infrared simulations of the missile-aircraft engagement

Author: Willers, MS ; Willers, Cornelius J Date: Sep 2012 This paper briefly analyses the broader framework of requirements for an imaging simulation system, in the 0.4 to 14 µm spectral bands. An existing imaging simulation system, OSSIM, is used to evaluate the identified key requirements for ... Read more
A key distribution scheme using elliptic curve cryptography in wireless sensor networks

Author: Louw, J ; Niezen, G ; Ramotsoela, TD ; Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MI Date: Dec 2016 Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have become increasingly popular in many applications across a broad range of fields. Securing WSNs poses unique challenges mainly due to their resource constraints. Traditional public key cryptography (PKC) ... Read more
Key performance indicators for project success on innovative building technology projects

Author: Mphahlele, Cathy Date: Dec 2015 The South African government, through the Presidential Infrastructure Coordinating Commission has resolved to deliver social infrastructure such as schools, early childhood centers, clinics and student accommodation using Innovative Building ... Read more
Key principles for adapting South African settlement patterns to climate change

Author: Van Wyk, Llewellyn V Date: Jun 2017 The aim of the paper is to identify key principles for adapting SA settlement patterns to climate change. Section 1 reviews the range of climate-related impacts likely to affect SA settlements using climate change models and scenarios as a ... Read more
Kinematics and dynamics modelling of a mecanum wheeled mobile platform

Author: Tlale, NS ; De Villiers, M Date: Dec 2008 Omni-directional mobile platforms have the ability to move instantaneously in any direction from any configuration. As such, it is important to have a mathematical model of the platform, especially if the platform is to be used as an autonomous ... Read more
Kinematics design and human motion transfer for a humanoid service robot arm

Author: Dube, C ; Tapson, J Date: Nov 2009 This paper focuses firstly, on the kinematics structure required for a humanoid service robot arm and secondly, on transferring human motion obtained from visual motion capture to the humanoid arm. The kinematics structure of a ten Degree of ... Read more
Knowledge and practice review in water sector financing

Author: Godfrey, M ; Wall, K ; Marler, M Date: May 2009 There is global acknowledgement that the financing of water projects is not easy. Preparation of water sector projects is understood to take long and still when they are finally financed, cost-recovery is comparatively difficult. The challenges ... Read more
Knowledge asset management pertinent to information systems outsourcing

Author: Smuts, H ; Kotzé, Paula ; van der Merwe, A ; Loock, M Date: Apr 2015 Organisations have over time realised that leveraging their already accumulated knowledge assets are the most cost effective way to increase their competitive standing and to harness innovation. In choosing to outsource their information ... Read more
Knowledge dissemination: Determining impact

Author: Molapo, D Date: 17 Jul 2007 Creation, manipulation, management and dissemination of knowledge cannot go on forever without determining what impact it is having on those who create it and those who use it. This paper explores methods of determining the impact of disseminated ... Read more
Knowledge management and economic integration in Southern Africa: unpacking the contribution of a regional spatial perspective in building regional competitiveness and prosperity

Author: Chakwizira, J ; Makhubela, L ; Mashiri, M Date: May 2009 This paper reviews the southern African region’s economic integration and knowledge management terrain from a spatial perspective. Its purpose is to generate insights relating to the role that space and spatial structure play in determining ... Read more
Knowledge transfer for learning robot models via local procrustes analysis

Author: Makondo, N ; Rosman, Benjamin S ; Hasegawa, O Date: Nov 2015 Learning of robot kinematic and dynamic models from data has attracted much interest recently as an alternative to manually defined models. However, the amount of data required to learn these models becomes large when the number of degrees ... Read more
Knowledge transfer using model-based deep reinforcement learning

Author: Boloka, Tlou J ; Makondo, N ; Rosman, B Date: Jan 2021 Deep reinforcement learning has recently been adopted for robot behavior learning, where robot skills are acquired and adapted from data generated by the robot while interacting with its environment through a trial-and-error process. Despite ... Read more
Knowledge-based system for the detection and classification of unplanned human settlements

Author: Parbhoo, C ; Moodley, D Date: Mar 2007 The discovery, access and sharing of suitable geospatial information in current open and distributed Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI) still pose a major challenge. These problems usually stem from a lack of consistent semantics that is ... Read more
