Sharing objects in a distributed system.
(IEEE Computer Society Press, 1993)This paper presents a design for the use of DSM techniques and system-supported synchronisation to support shared access to persistent objects in a distributed environment. We adopt a hybrid approach where the system ... -
Computerising a library catalogue using optical character recognition
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 1993)Trinity College Library contains several million books. Catalogues for the more modern books have been computerised to allow readers a fast and efficient means of locating a book. The 1872 Printed Catalogue which lists ... -
Architecture for Integrated Telecommunication Management Platforms
(1993)Telecommunication management network (TMN) systems represent diverse telecommunication domains with wideranging functionality which frequently employ different technologies and produce isolated solutions. Yet ... -
Retrieval Issues in Real-World CBR Applications How far can we go with discrimination-nets?
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1993-06)We propose that analogical reasoning and case based reasoning (CBR) tasks can be usefully characterised as a continuum reflecting the remoteness of the remindings involved. Remindings in CBR are generally between semantically ... -
A Survey of Gesture Recognition Techniques
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1993-07-17)Processing speeds have increased dramatically, bitmapped displays allow graph ics to be rendered and updated at increasing rates, and in general computers have advanced to the point where they can assist humans in complex ... -
Unemployment: A Technologist's Perspective
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1993-09) -
Modelling of Engineering Thermal Problems: An Implementation using CBR with Derivational Analogy
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1993-09)An interactive cased based reasoning tool for assisting engineers with the mathematical modelling tasks associated with the analysis of thermal problems is described. By representing fundamental thermal modelling scenarios ... -
Complexity of Adaptation in Real-World Case-Based Reasoning Systems
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1993-09)The essence of Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) as a problem solving paradigm is that solutions are generated by adapting the solutions of similar problems rather than solving the problem from first principles. In this paper ... -
Using CBR techniques to detect plagiarism in computing assignments
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1993-09)The problems of case retrieval in CBR and plagiarism detection have in common a need to detect close but not exact matches between exemplars. In this paper we describe a plagiarism detection system that has been inspired ... -
Knowledge Engineering Requirements in Derivational Analogy
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1993-09)A major advantage in using a case-based approach to developing knowledge-based systems is that it can be applied to problems where a strong domain theory may be difficult to determine. However the development of case-based ... -
Constraints on Analogical Mapping: A Comparison of Three Models
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1993-10)Three theories of analogy have been proposed which are supported by computational models and data from experiments on human analogical abilities. In this paper, we show how these theories can be unified within a common ... -
The Cognitive Processes Underlying Complex Analogies: Theoretical and Empirical Advances
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1993-10)The psychological investigation of complex analogies (like the solar system / atom analogy) began in the late 1970s and in the intervening period has grown into a prototypical, area of Cognitive Science research. During ... -
Design Synthesis: A Model of Hierarchical Case-Based Reasoning
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1993-12)A variety of artificial intelligence techniques have been used in attempts to automate design synthesis tasks. Two common approaches are case-based and decompositional design. While powerful techniques in their own right, ... -
Adaptation as a Selection Constraint On Analogical Mapping
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1993-12)In any given analogy, there are potentially a large number of possible mapping interpretations. One of the key issues in analogy research is how one of these mappings comes to be selected as optimal and used as the basis ... -
Extensible systems - the Tigger approach.
(ACM, 1994)The Tigger project is developing a framework for the construction of a family of distributed objectsupport platforms suitable for use in a variety of distributed applications ranging from embedded soft-real time systems ... -
Security considerations in a network management environment
(IEEE, 1994)Considers the security aspects of communication between two management processes operating in different management domains; identifies two major risks: the security of information exchanged during the management association, ... -
Psychological Evidence for Assumptions of Path-Based Inheritance Reasoning
(1994)The psychological validity of inheritance reasoners is clarified. Elio and Pelletier (1993) presented the first pilot experiment exploring some of these issues. We investigate other foundational assumptions of inheritance ... -
Removing Epistemological Bias From Empirical Observation of Neural Networks
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1994-05-25)This paper addresses the application of neural network research to a theory of autonomous systems. Neural networks, while enjoying considerable success in autonomous systems applications, have failed to provide a firm ...
