Detecting restriction class correspondences in Linked Open Data
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)The Linked Open Data (LOD) project has made a broad range of knowledge available on the World Wide Web as open datasets, using a common format and linked in such a manner that it is a simple task to explore and integrate ... -
Accelerated computing on computational grid infrastructures
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2016)Grid infrastructures have been central to some of the largest computationally intensive scientific investigations in recent times. As the complexity of computational simulations and models increases, the dependency on ... -
A generic framework for grid-enabled visualisation and computational steering, and its characterisation
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2011)This thesis presents a generic framework for grid-enabled visualisation and computational steering that is amenable to characterisation using mathematical models based on benchmarked resources. The models enable designers, ... -
Formal polytypic programs and proofs
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2010)Polytypic or datatype-generic programming is a form of generic programming where we abstract over the shape of datatypes: we define functions by induction over the structure of datatypes. In this thesis we show how to ... -
OM2R : semantic documentation of ontology mapping lifecycle to support retrieval and reuse of ontology mappings
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)Ontology mappings are of critical importance for the Linked Data and the Semantic Web communities as they can help to mitigate the effects of heterogeneities, which are a major obstacle to the promise of interoperability ... -
Automatic reasoner composition and selection
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2011)The development of OWL and OWL reasoning technologies has enabled them to be used for knowledge base (KB) modelling and/or intelligent data processing in applications of various areas. However the computation and ... -
An analysis of content-free dialogue representation, supervised classification methods and evaluation metrics for meeting topic segmentation
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2011)Automatic topic segmentation in meeting recordings is intensively investigated due to the fact that topic is a salient discourse structure and it indicates natural reference points for contents. Unlike commonly used ... -
Collaborative requirements elicitation to foster shared understanding
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2015)Fostering shared understanding of how to support organisational change involves a complex interaction of stakeholders in order to achieve alignment of business processes and IT infrastructure. Collaboration ... -
Language support for communicating transactions
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2016)In the context of databases, a transaction is a sequence of data operations that are executed atomically and in isolation: either all operations are executed or none is; and their effects are visible to the environment ... -
Self-organizing topology adaptation in peer-to-peer networks
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2007)The peers in a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) system arrange themselves in a virtual network called the overlay network. The overlay network sits above the underlying physical network and is used to search for resources and peers, ... -
Virtual machine showdown: stack versus registers
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2007)Virtual machines (VMs) enable the distribution of programs in an architecture-neutral format, which can easily be interpreted or compiled. The most popular VMs, such as the Java virtual machine (JVM), use a virtual stack ... -
Certainty assessment in informal language
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2015)This research studied linguistic hedges in informal language style. Hedges are expressions that show a weakened commitment of speakers with respect to what they are saying. This modification in their commitment is made for ... -
Supporting Wizard of Oz experimentation for language technology applications
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2013)Wizard of OZ (WOZ) is a well-established method used by researchers and product designers to simulate the functionality and user experience of future systems. Using a human wizard to mimic possible operations is particularly ... -
A study of the formation and nature of a community of learners within a blended, part-time, graduate, higher education programme
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2015)This study uses a grounded theory approach to develop a theoretical understanding of the formation, nature, and impact of a blended community on the educational experience of part-time higher education students. Within ... -
Exploiting heterogeneity in peer-to-peer systems using gradient topologies
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2009)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 ... -
Decentralized optimization of fluctuating urban traffic using reinforcement learning

The SMG DSM system: enabling shared memory for the grid
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2007)Parallel computing has taken the rst steps along its next evolutionary route: com- putational grids are now a reality. Success, however, depends not only on the tools available, but allowing ... -
Influencing user perception using real-time adaptive abstraction
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2010)Real-time applications such as games, medical or technical visualisations and urban simulations can often be highly complex in nature. This can lead to too much visual data being presented to the user at once, which can ...
