Conversation analysis for computational modelling of task-oriented dialogue (2023)
Thesis

Current methods of dialogue modelling for Conversational AI (CAI) bear little resemblance to the manner in which humans organise conversational interactions. The way utterances are represented, interpreted, and generated are determined by the necessi... Read More about Conversation analysis for computational modelling of task-oriented dialogue.

Disruptive learning and optimal flow: Game jams in heterotopic affinity space (2022)

A generic provenance framework to document public policy making processes (2021)
Thesis

Public policies impact the day to day activities of individuals. Effective public policy outcomes result in general acceptance among the community. The transparency in policy making process and participation during policy creation holds significant p... Read More about A generic provenance framework to document public policy making processes.

The video game asset pipeline - A pattern approach to visualization (2021)
Thesis

Video games consist of virtual worlds modelled as an approximation of either a real or imaginary environment. The amount of content required to populate the environments for Triple-A (AAA) video games doubles every few years to satisfy the expectatio...

End-user action-sound mapping design for mid-air music performance (2020)
Thesis

How to design the relationship between a performer’s actions and an instrument’s sound response has been a consistent theme in Digital Musical Instrument (DMI) research. Previously, mapping was seen purely as an activity for DMI creators, but more re... Read More about End-user action-sound mapping design for mid-air music performance.

OntoSoS.BPA.ChM: A semantically-enriched and business process architecture-driven framework for change management in system of systems context (2020)
Thesis

The interaction and collaboration between the constituent systems in System of Systems (SoS) context entail more complex and new challenges that face the application of Change Management (ChM) frameworks. Some of these challenges include: (i) the ins...

Investigating the role of knowledge management in driving the development of an effective business process architecture (2019)
Thesis

Business Process Architecture (BPA) modelling methods are not dynamic and flexible enough to effectively respond to changes. This may create a barrier that contributes to a lack of knowledge and learning capabilities which can affect the BPA regardin...
