Extending event based programming for sensor-driven applications in resource-constrained environments
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2011)The ubiquitous computing vision which began with Weiser and its evolution since predicts large quantities of sensors, actuators and computational devices embedded in our environment enabling advanced applications which ... -
PiCSE : a framework for simulation and emulation of pervasive computing applications
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2015)The field of pervasive computing is changing rapidly, with the proliferation of and advances in hardware and communication technologies resulting in a shift towards a large-scale, heterogeneous pervasive computing world ... -
A multi-faceted model of trust that is personalisable and specialisable
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2007)Trust is a term that is open to a wide range of subjective interpretations, and it has therefore been argued that “trust is a fashionable but overloaded term with lots of intertwined ... -
Social grid agents
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2009)The problem of resource allocation in Grid computing has been actively tackled by the scientific community for some years; its complexity is in meeting the expectations of different actors with different concepts of ... -
Locomotion for crowd animation

Cashua : integrating semantics and content-based networking for context distribution
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2009)To support a vision of ubiquitous computing where computers fade into the background, context systems must provide information to highly mobile people and devices in ubiquitous computing environments. In these environments, ... -
Optimizing multimedia content delivery over next-generation optical networks
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2015)This thesis analyzes the performance of a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) multimedia content delivery system for a network architecture based on next-generation Passive Optical Networks (PONs). A PON is an optical access technology ... -
The OISIN framework : ontology interoperability in support of semantic interoperability
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2006)The promise of ontologies is in the sharing of an understanding of a domain that can be communicated between people and application systems (Fensel 2003). However, different ontologies arise due to the natural human ... -
Context-informed semantic interoperation
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2010)A common trend in modern applications is the move towards more mobile, adaptive, customisable software. The evolution of software from static, invariant tools for narrow portions of a task to adaptive, open interaction ... -
Situation-based testing for ubiquitous computing systems
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2011)A common trend in modern applications is the move towards more mobile, adaptive, customisable software. The evolution of software from static, invariant tools for narrow portions of a task to adaptive, open interaction ... -
Trust evaluation for the grid
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2007)This thesis presents models and techniques for automatic evaluation of trust in certification authorities for grid computing infrastructures. The desire for automatic trust evaluation arose out of the need to assess the ... -
Location aware multimedia narratives
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2008)During the 1980s and the early 1990s, a considerable number of technology and application trends were concerned with location transparency and virtual spaces, overcoming the limitations of the physical space. Artists and ... -
A knowledge-light approach to regression using case-based reasoning
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2007)Case-based reasoning (CBR) is among the most influential paradigms in modern machine learning. It advocates a strategy of storing specific experiences in the form of cases, and solving new ... -
Sobriquet : a personal naming and identity management system
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2012)The Internet in its current form lacks an adequate identity infrastructure. Every rel- evant application must provide its own solution to the problem of authenticating and naming people. Many of these applications share ... -
Distributed shared memory architectures and global performance state estimation
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2006)Invasive and non-invasive methods may be applied to measure and analyse the performance of hardware Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) systems. This thesis presents novel solutions for both methods and discusses the ... -
Linear transformations of semantic spaces for word-sense discrimination and collocation compositionality grading
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2015)Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) and Word Space are two semantic models derived from the vector space model of distributional semantics that have been used successfully in word-sense disambiguation and discrimination. LSA ... -
Infogrid : a relational approach to grid computing

Identifying translation effects in English natural language text
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2013)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 ... -
Supporting the tutor in a tutor-tutee adaptive educational system
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2009)Adaptive educational systems have been successful in providing personalised support in a myriad of domains (Melias & Siekmann, 2004). To provide such support, the adaptive educational system builds an internal representation ... -
A model for mobile spatial services
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2009)Mobile context-aware computing is a paradigm in which mobile devices have access to information, known as context, about the situation in which they are being used, and dynamically adapt application behaviour to support ...
