    • A Peer-to-Peer Architecture for Collaborative Spam Filtering 

      Cottereau, Laurent (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 

      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 ...

    • Personal privacy and online systems 

      MAC AONGHUSA, POL (Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Discipline of Computer Science, 2019)
      A significant portion of the modern internet is funded by commercial return from customised content such as advertising where user interests are learned from users' online behaviour and used to display personalised content. ...

    • Personalised E-Learning Through Learning Style Aware Adaptive Systems 

      Canavan, John (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 ...

    • Personalised eLearning development environments 

      Dagger, Declan (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2006)
      Personalised eLearning is seen as a key element for next generation educational programmes [DFES, 2005]. The goal of personalised eLearning is to support eLearning content, activities and collaboration, adapted to the ...
