Abstract We attempt the design and development of an educational game based on the Input-ProcessOutcome model. This tool helps students and other professionals to learn and appreciate the decision-making processes carried out by geophysicists and petroleum engineers, concerned with the activity of well placement, to maximize production from oil fields. It also stimulates learning and application of technology to support decision making.
ABSTRACT Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) is a sound formal modeling and simulation (M&S) structure based on generic dynamic system concepts. PDEVS (Parallel Discrete Event System Specification) is a well-known formalism for the specification of complex concurrent systems organized as an interconnection of atomic and coupled interacting components. The abstract simulator of a PDEVS model is normally founded on the assumption of maximal parallelism: multiple components are allowed t...
ABSTRACT The hoist scheduling problem is a critical issue in the design and control of many manufacturing processes. When the hoist number and tank numbers are very large, finding an optimal schedule is very hard. As a result of this, a lot of scheduling algorithms have been developed, and thus created a need to evaluate these algorithms. This calls for a cheap and efficient way of evaluating different hoist scheduling algorithms. To address this issue, I propose a generic simulator which wi...
ABSTRACT In today’s era of modern architectures, high performance computing has received a lot of attention from diverse architectural levels. The performance crises in the computing arena have forced researchers to look for alternative architectures that will foster high performance whiles minimizing tradeoffs. The Queue Core processor is a novel 32-bit microprocessor that emerged as a result of the urgent desire for high performance microprocessor. The advent of the Queue Core processor ...
ABSTRACT Nowadays, shifts in Hardware and Software technologies have forced designers and users to look at micro-architecture that process instructions stream with high performance and low power consumption.
ABSTRACT The artificial intelligence (AI) domain grows every day with new algorithms and architectures. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), a branch of AI has become a very interesting domain since the eighties when the back-propagation learning algorithm and the feed-forward architecture were first introduced. As time passed, ANNs were able to solve non-linear problems, and were being used in classification, prediction, and representation of complex systems. However, ANN uses a black box lea...
ABSTRACT The foundation of many of today’s programming languages is the C/C++ language, due to its success and directives that span across several programming paradigms, conceptual models and runtime environments. Smart devices are getting more powerful, cheaper and hence more popular as seen in ubiquitous computing and internet of things (IOT). The goal of this project is to design and develop an integrated development environment (IDE) for C/C++ Programming language to run on smart devic...
ABSTRACT Having a central database for Nigeria which organizations can rely on for identification/verification purposes has been a plan in the pipeline for many years now. This has become urgent because of the nation’s current security challenges and the problem of multiple enrolments across various organizations. All of these organizations collect data, but the data collected is not useful outside the collecting organizations. According to various reports, the Nigerian government has been...
ABSTRACT The usage of computers in Physics Instruction began in the seventies and ever since then, lots of research efforts have been devoted to studying various emerging technologies and their impact on the learning process. Multimedia Learning Systems provide flexibility as well as a collaborative approach to learning, decreased cost of education for learners and proper time usage for instructors. It provides a major benefit over the traditional approach to Physics Instruction. This Thesis ...
Abstract In the world today, the size of complex problems and systems has increased, due to the advances in technology and the area of computer design and architecture. Modeling and predicting the behaviour of complex systems (Weather forecast, Fire spreading, River floods, Earthquake, Nanotechnology; design of new materials from molecule scale, decoding the human genome and many others) is becoming complex due to huge amount of data, high statistics need, and the need to serve user communit...
ABSTRACT With the increase in the possibility of incorporating multiple cores on a single chip (MCSoC), the issue of an efficient interconnection that is scalable, takes up small area and has low power consumption must be taken into consideration carefully. Network on chip (NoC) has evolved as a promising solution for efficiently interconnecting multiple core on a single chip (MCSoC). NoC brings conventional networking theories and methods to chip communication and brings notable improvement...
ABSTRACT Basically electrocardiography is a commonly used, non-invasive procedure for recording electrical changes in the heart. The record, which is called an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG), shows the series of waves that relate to the electrical impulses which occur during each beat of the heart. The results are printed on paper or displayed on a monitor. The waves in a normal record are named P, Q, R, S, T, U and follow in alphabetical order. This research exploits the technology of paral...
ABSTRACT Over the ongoing years, innovatively propelled nations have kept on joining the quest for growing completely self-sufficient driven vehicles. This Autonomous vehicles intend to address issues of driver profitability and effectiveness. Dependable traffic light discovery is a vital segment for self-sufficient driving. Recognizing the traffic lights amidst everything is a standout amongst the most significant errand. The focus of this research is to develop and find the optimal paramet...
ABSTRACT Nigeria is a fast-growing country in terms of urbanization. One of the major infrastructure challenge is power supply. However, this challenge is often not as a result of power generation but as a result of power distribution. It is expected that housing development policies be implemented for example through standard for house equipment. The partners are expected to be ministries of power, works and urban development. This report is a documentation of a project which required devel...
ABSTRACT Social networking systems have found their way into all sectors of life. With the advent of social coding platform like GitHub, networks of developers can be inferred based on the projects they participated in. When a new project is created by a developer on such social coding platforms, these platforms lack the capacity to recommend potential collaborators. Recommender systems are software techniques and tools that give item suggestions to users who might be interested in such an i...
