Barbie Bungee Jumping, Technology and Contextual Learning of Mathematics.
(2014)There is ongoing debate about the quality of mathematics education at post-primary level. Research suggests that, while the capacity to use mathematics constructively is fundamental to the economies of the future, many ... -
Bayesian methods for evidence synthesis and decision making in Health Technology Assessments
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2013)In this thesis statistical methodologies to improve reimbursement decisions in healthcare are developed. The allocation of healthcare resources is a very topical issue in the current economic climate. Given a limited ... -
Bayesian modelling and analysis of utility-based maintenance for repairable systems
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2017)This thesis focuses on modelling and inference for maintenance systems for the purpose of utility optimisation. Providing standardised notation throughout, we first demonstrate the motivation for investigating the problem ... -
BeanBag: An Extensible Framework for Describing, Storing and Querying Components
(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 ... -
Beckett in VR: Exploring Narrative Using Free-Viewpoint Video
(2018)This poster describes a reinterpretation of Samuel Beckett’s theatrical text Playfor virtual reality (VR). It is an aesthetic reflection on practice that follows up an a technical project description submittedto ISMAR 2017 ... -
Behavioural equivalences for web services
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2013)This thesis is a foundational and systematic investigation of the principles which ensure that a piece of communicating software can be replaced by another piece of communicating software, without hindering the operations ... -
Behind the rules: XP experiences
(IEEE, 2004)Agile processes such as XP (extreme programming) have been recognised for their potential benefits of improving software. During adoption of the XP process, teams can misapply the XP principles by following them verbatim, ... -
Below Cross-Layer: An Alternative Approach to Service Discovery for MANETs
(2012)Service discovery protocols for mobile ad hoc networks at- tempt to overcome the inability to locate resources presented by networks in which prior knowledge of node identity and capability is not available. Existing ... -
A Benchmark for 3D Reconstruction from Aerial Imagery in an Urban Environment
(2021)This paper presents a novel benchmark to evaluate 3D reconstruction methods using aerial images in a large- scale urban scenario. In particular, it presents an evaluation of open-source state-of-the-art pipelines for ... -
Benchmarking Knowledge-based Context Delivery System
(2006)As context-aware systems become more widespread and mobile there is an increasing need for a common distributed event platform for gathering context information and delivering to context-aware applications. The likely ... -
Benchmarking Neural Networks on Heterogeneous Hardware
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Discipline of Computer Science, 2021)Neural Networks have become one of the most successful machine learning algorithms and are playing a key role in enabling machine vision and speech recognition. Their computational complexity and memory demands are challenging ... -
The Benefits of Using a Complete Probability Distribution when Decision Making: An Example in Anticoagulant Drug Therapy
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 2005-08-06)In this paper we aim to show how probabilistic prediction of a continuous variable could be more beneficial to a medical practitioner than classification or numeric/point prediction of the same variable in many scenarios. ... -
