In the field of language evolution, the only way of obtaining empirical data for most of its parts is with the help of computational models and simulations. As a consequence, a large number of different modelling approaches ...

A peer-to-peer system can be defined as an overlay network built by a set of nodes on top of a physical network infrastructure and its operating protocols, such as the Internet. In a peer-to-peer network, each node ...

We reconcile the two different category-theoretic semantics of regular theories in predicate logic. A 2-category of regular fibrations is constructed, as well as a 2-category of regular proarrow equipments, and ...

The subject of this thesis pertains to coordination in systems of entities characterised by mobile, real-time behaviour and unreliable communication over a wireless network. Such systems are now being deployed both in ...

This thesis examines the application of sentiment analysis towards financial news. The primary goal within the field of sentiment analysis is to develop a methodology by which the sentiment or emotional view being expressed ...

The increasing availability of wireless local area networking, particularly ad hoc networking, has lead to the evolution of new application domains, such as inter-vehicle communication and communication between autonomous ...

The recent development of large FPGAs combined with the availability of a variety of FPGA-based non-integer arithmetic cores has made it possible to implement high performance matrix kernel operations on FPGAs. This thesis ...

With the rise in popularity of applying machine learning methods to problems in textual stylometry, the increased availability of machine-readable corpora and the emerging benefits of research on corpora of translated text ...
