Open Prolog: a Structure-Sharing Prolog for the Macintosh
(University of Dublin, Trinity College. Department of Computer Science, 2005-08)This thesis explores the design and implementation of a Prolog system with just one mode of program execution rather than the two modes of execution? interpretation and compilation?present in most Prolog implementations ... -
Partition Anticipation for Wireless Local Area Networks
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2002-09)Wireless networks introduce new possibilities for computer networking. They also bring some new problems, while enhancing some already established ones. One new problem is a network's increased sensitivity to its environment, ... -
Peer-to-Peer Applications in Ad Hoc Wireless Networks
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2002-09)With the rapid development of wireless technology, more and more people are equipped with mobile devices, which allow them to communicate and share resources with each other. The combination of mobility and wireless ... -
A Peer-to-Peer Architecture for Collaborative Spam Filtering
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2002-09)Over the last twenty years, the importance of electronic mail has risen to a point where it is now a critical medium for many companies and individuals. This fact has led to the emergence of a new method of invasive ... -
Perceptually-Adaptive Collision Detection for Real-time Computer Animation
(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 ... -
Personalised E-Learning Through Learning Style Aware Adaptive Systems
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2004-09)There are many factors than can influence the extent of learning. These would include factors such as the student's learning style and motivation for learning. In a learning environment, each individual student will have ... -
Pervasive Application Rights Management Architecture
(University of Dublin, Trinity College. School of Computer Science and Statistics, 2005-07)This dissertation describes an application rights management architecture that combines license management with digital rights management to provide an integrated platform for the specification, generation, delivery and ... -
Planning for Migration to a Next Generation Network
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2001-09)This thesis describes the development of a software planning tool to be used in the migration process from a Public Switched Telephone Network to a Next Generation Network. The tool calculates the benefits obtained by ... -
A Policy Creation and Enforcement Environment for an IP Network
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2001-09)There is an increasing number of applications designed to run on the Internet whose Quality of Service (QoS) requirement is higher than the current offering from the IP network that being best effort. There has been a call ... -
A Proactive Approach to Semantically Oriented Service Discovery
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2005-09)Web Service based computing has evolved immensely in recent years, supported by standards bodies, academic research and industry alike. One of the noticeable omissions from the web services architecture is that of standards ... -
Proactive Persistent Agents - Using Situational Intelligence to Create Support Characters in Character-Centric Computer Games
(University of Dublin, Trinity College. Department of Computer Science, 2004-01)Throughout the 1990's computer game development was dominated by the improvement of game graphics. However, graphical excellence is now the norm rather than the exception, and so other technologies are coming to the fore ... -
Quantification of Mutual Understanding in Task-Based Human-Human Interactions
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Discipline of Computer Science, 2021)This thesis explores the quantification of mutual understanding in task-based interactions by observing the relation between patterns of repetitions and measures of communicative success. Two important characteristics of ... -
Quartz: A QoS Architecture for Open Systems
(University of Dublin, Trinity College. Department of Computer Science, 1999-12)The term `QoS architecture? is used to describe middleware that provides applications with mechanisms for specification and enforcement of quality of service (QoS) requirements. These architectures administer the resources ... -
A Reaction Diffusion Model for Wireless Indoor Propagation
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2002-09)The biological pattern formation system known as the reaction-diffusion mechanism is used as a base for a simulator which will predict the propagation of RF signals in an indoor environment. The reaction diffusion system ... -
A Real Time Implementation of TBMAC using IEEE 802.11b
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2004-09)Emergency services, and automated vehicle platoons are frequently used examples of the need for real-time ad hoc communication, which demand that communication be time bounded overall. The medium access control protocol ... -
Real-Time Display of Dublin Traffic Information on the Web
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2000-09)Many large-scale and highly specialised distributed systems such as Urban Traffic Control (UTC) systems produce considerable quantities of data on a real-time basis. This data is then frequently locked in a proprietary ... -
