Collaboration community formation in open systems for agents with multiple goals
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Discipline of Computer Science, 2018)Agents frequently coordinate their behaviour and collaborate to achieve a shared goal, share constrained resources, or accomplish a complex task that they cannot do alone. Forming an effective collaboration community in ... -
Extracting new urban patterns in cities: Analysis, models and applications
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Discipline of Computer Science, 2018)Smart city initiatives rely on real-time measurements and data collected by a large num- ber of heterogenous physical sensors deployed throughout a city. The data gathered by physical sensors can capably identify important ... -

Moral Sentiment: Investigating the Roles of Ethics and Affect in Determining Asset Returns
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Discipline of Computer Science, 2017)Research in behavioural finance claims that markets are inefficient, in the sense that market prices can deviate from their fundamental value. Proponents of this theory suggest that investors succumb to emotional and ... -
Quality Queue Management for Future Wireless Networks
(Trinity College Dublin, Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Computer Science, 2017)Wireless networking protocols and mobile devices are key contributors to the ever-growing demand for realtime services. These large throughput services are often prioritised and managed using specialised traffic policies. ... -
Hop.Skip.Jump.Games. The design, development, deployment and evaluation of video games to support locomotor acquisition in a classroom setting
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Discipline of Computer Science, 2017)Sedentary video gameplay is typically described as a contributing factor to poor locomotor skills (hop, skip and jump etc.) observed in the modern day child. Further, poor locomotor skills are a significant predictor of ... -
Evaluating the perception of virtual characters by manipulating components of their physical appearance
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Discipline of Computer Science, School of Computer Science, 2017)This work explores the possibilities of studying the perception of 3D generated (virtual) based on the knowledge of perceptual organisation and methods used to study human behaviour. Our main intention is to present studies ... -
Data layout oriented compilation techniques in vectorization for multi-/many-cores
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Discipline of Computer Science, 2017)Single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) architectures are widely adopted in both general-purpose processors and graphic processing units for exploiting data-level parallelism. It is tedious and error-prone for programmers ... -
The SPARQL usage for mapping maintenance and reuse methodology
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Discipline of Computer Science, 2017)This thesis presents the SPARQL Usage for Mapping Maintenance and Reuse (SUMMR) methodology, which is for the support of performing maintenance and reuse of Linked Data mappings. The providers of Linked Data datasets have ... -
A domain knowledge driven information uplift approach for network monitoring
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)With the advance of modern network technologies, people now enjoy increased convenience whilst occasionally suffering annoyance from network issues by lacking domain expertise. In the Home Area Network (HAN), these issues ... -
Group communication for cooperative automated vehicles
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)The automotive industry has increasingly adopted computer technology to enhance the safety and efficiency of vehicles. Using sensors and electronic control systems, vehicles can become partially or fully automated, taking ... -
Temporally consistent region based video segmentation
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)This thesis addresses the problem of segmenting a video sequence in a temporally consistent fashion, so that the labels assigned to particular region remain the same throughout the sequence. Energy minimisation, and in ... -

(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)This dissertation presents a case study concerning the application of the Action Design Research (ADR) methodology to the development of a privacy-enhanced electronic postal system. As part of the ADR project, a model of ... -
Using trust for environment adaptive model-based energy saving algorithm for wireless sensor networks
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2015)Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are used in environmental monitoring applications to obtain fine-grained spatial and temporal information concerning environmental phenomena. This requires continuous sensing and communication ... -
A slot-based approach to optimise freeway traffic using Intelligent Vehicles
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)Over the last decades, the increase in demand for road transportation has traditionally been matched by an expansion of the road network to prevent or reduce traffic congestion. This approach is unsustainable in the long ... -
