    • Architecture for Location Independent CORBA Environments 

      Cunningham, Raymond (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 1998-09)
      The construction of distributed applications is a complex and time consuming task, which has been addressed by the Object Management Group's Common Object Request Broker Architecture. However implementations of this ...

    • A Framework for Building Customised CORBA ORBs 

      Wiese, Hubertus (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 1998-09)
      Recently, many distributed applications have been based on Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) compliant middleware. Such distributed computing middleware provides the components of a distributed application ...

    • A Framework Providing Fault Tolerance Using the CORBA Trading Service. 

      MEIER, RENE (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 1998-09)
      This thesis describes a body of research into the fault tolerance problem associated with the use of large scale distributed systems and a partial solution to the problem. Fault tolerance problems arise in such an ...

    • Courseware on the Fly 

      Dillon, Brian J (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 1998-09)
      Third level education is at the moment experiencing a period of rapid change. Innovative teaching methods, in which new technology will figure, are required to enable universities maintain a high standard of education ...

    • Implementation of the CORBA Event Service in Java 

      Stephens, Paul (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 1998-09)
      The increase need and interest in distributed technology has led to several different types of object orientated middleware. CORBA is being defined by the Object Management Group (OMG) and is the most commonly used ...

    • An Internet Protocol Testing Framework 

      Cashman, John (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 1998-09)
      As the Internet expands and proliferates it gives rise to new technologies that require supporting Internet protocols. Some recent examples include HTTP, POP, IMAP and IIOP. Internet applications are generally based on ...

    • Perceptually-Adaptive Collision Detection for Real-time Computer Animation 

      O'SULLIVAN, CAROL ANN (Unversity of Dublin, Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 1999)
      The aim of interactive animation systems is to create an exciting and real experience for viewers, to give them a feeling of immersion, of "being there". The tendency in the past has been to attempt to achieve this by ...

    • Data Exchange in a Component Based Workflow Environment 

      Fahey, Paul (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 1999-09)
      There is a need to revise existing (successful) software subsystems. One can?t afford to develop a bespoke system, as done previously, so therefore `shrink wrapped solution sets? have to be realised. The problem is how ...

    • BeanBag: An Extensible Framework for Describing, Storing and Querying Components 

      O'Reilly, Caroline (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 1999-09)
      When it became obvious that Object Oriented software applications were falling short of their promise of significant software reuse, the software industry began to look at another solution. Hence the interest in Component ...

    • A Metadata Driven Approach to Educational Adaptive Hypermedia 

      Connor, Niamh (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 1999-09)
      The objective of this dissertation is to develop a teaching tool which extends the benefits of Web learning by providing increased flexibility for both students and administrators. The dissertation will investigate the ...

    • Identification and Retrieval of WWW-based Courseware: A Metadata Approach 

      Kenny, Sarah Anne (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 1999-09)
      Information retrieval is often a tedious and time consuming task on the Internet, as information is stored in an unstructured manner. There is no guarantee that what you find is relevant to your needs, on the correct topics, ...

    • Mobile Proxies 

      Aziz, Benjamin (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 1999-09)
      One of the important issues that are quite often a challenge in modern distributed systems is the issue of adaptability. The need for adaptability rises from the fact that these systems are very much open, heterogeneous ...
