This page contains links to the texts of successful MSc dissertations submitted to the Computer Science Department at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth. Electronic submission of dissertations only became permissible under University of Wales rules in 2003. The first dissertations included in this archive are from 2003 and by no means all dissertations for that year or from 2004 will be available in electronic form. It is hoped that all the department’s MSc dissertations from 2005 onwards will be available in the archive, as well as other successful higher degree submissions. This will enable them to be held indefinitely. At present, storage limitations mean that physical copies of MSc dissertations are, with a few exceptions, kept for no more than two years.
The files are in pdf format. They can be viewed using the Acrobat reader, which is widely available by downloading free of charge. The security flags are set so that the files cannot be printed or changed nor can parts of them be cut and pasted. They should therefore correspond precisely to the physical copy of the dissertation that was approved by the examiners.
Readers of the dissertations are reminded that they are copyright and that the copyright in them belongs to the authors.
