Unintrusive, engaging, simple semantic mapping over time
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2012) -
An empirical study of the comparative effect of aspect and object-oriented programming on testability
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2010) -
Genetic Programming Bias with Software Performance Analysis
The complexities of modern software systems make their engineering costly and time consuming. This thesis explores and develops techniques to improve software by automating re-design. Source code can be randomly modified ... -
Social profiles for dynamically configurable agents in large scale cloud, grid, and heterogeneous infrastructures
(Trinity College Dublin, 2014)A vast amount of computing resources are available throughout the world today. These are distributed worldwide, and are heterogeneous in platform, origins, motivations, ownership and control. Many large computational ... -
Correlated Estimation Problems and the Ensemble Kalman Filter
The Kalman flter is a recursive algorithm that estimates the state of a linear dynamical system from a sequence of noisy sensor measurements. Due to its relative simplicity, numerical efficiency and optimality, the Kalman ... -
Formalising Human Mental Workload as a Defeasible Computational Concept
(Trinity College Dublin, 2014)Human mental workload has gained importance, in the last few decades, as a fundamental design concept in human-computer interaction. It can be intuitively defined as the amount of mental work necessary for a person to ... -
Acceleration of cryptographic
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science and Statistics. Computer Science, Dublin, 2010)Graphics processing units (GPUs) can act as an attractive alternative to CPUs for general purpose computation in certain scenarios. Traditionally, the GPU has been developed to offload graphics processing from the CPU. In ... -
Using stigmergy to build pervasive computing environments
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science and Statistics. Computer Science, Dublin, 2005)Pervasive computing looks beyond the age of the personal computer to a time when everyday devices will be embedded with technology and connectivity. The goal of pervasive computing is to make such devices available throughout ... -
The Non-invasive Personalisation of Educational Video Games
(Trinity College Dublin, Trinity College Dublin, 2013)Educational video games present a progressive approach to technology enhanced learning that offer intrinsically rewarding experiences, high interactivity, an environment with low-risk of failure, and the freedom and ... -
Context Oriented Software Development
(University of Dublin, Trinity College, School of Computer Science and Statistics, 2012)Software in distributed and mobile computing environments needs to cope with variability, diversity of computing platforms and operates in different execution environments. Mobile computing environments are heterogeneous ... -
Collisions and Attention
(2005)Attention is an important factor in the perception of static and dynamic scenes, which should, therefore, be taken into account when creating graphical images and animation. Recently, researchers have recognized this fact ... -
Leveraging Content from Open Corpus Sources for Technology Enhanced Learning
(Trinity College Dublin, University of Dublin, Trinity College, 2009)As educators attempt to incorporate the use of educational technologies in course curricula, the lack of appropriate and accessible digital content resources acts as a barrier to adoption. Quality educational digital ... -
Mean-Shift Tracking for Surveillance: Evaluations and Enhancements
(University of Dublin, University of Dublin, Trinity College, 2011)Mean-shift tracking is a technique for following an object of interest as it moves through a video sequence. It is a gradient ascent approach that models the image region to be tracked by its colour histogram. In this ... -
A Hybrid Software and Hardware System for Collision Detection
(University of Dublin, Trinity College, University of Dublin, Trinity College, 2010)Collision detection is a fundamental problem in myriad applications, spanning a wide variety of fields. Although the core concept is relatively straightforward, significant complexities result from the demand for interactive ... -
Leveraging Content from Open Corpus Sources for Technology Enhanced Learning
(Trinity College Dublin, Trinity College Dublin, 2009)As educators attempt to incorporate the use of educational technologies in course curricula, the lack of appropriate and accessible digital content resources acts as a barrier to adoption. Quality educational digital ... -
Improving Throughput and Node Proximity of P2P Live Video Streaming through Overlay Adaptation
(IEEE Computer Society Press, 2007)Due to the heterogeneity of the environment, in which hosts may have different bandwidth capacities and network distances between hosts vary, current mesh-based multicast protocols for video streaming over the Internet ... -
Analogue Dynamics Engine (ADE)
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2005)This report outlines the design and implementation of the Analogue Dynamics Engine (ADE). The ADE is a physics engine constructed from a hybrid, analogue and digital, computer. Software physics engines are becoming ... -
An Analysis of the Dynamics of Multi-Disciplinary Medical Team Meetings and the Use of Communication Technology
(Trinity College Dublin, Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2008) -
Completely unanticipated dynamic adaptation of software
(Trinity College Dublin, Dublin University - Trinity College, Department of Computer Science, 2004)Dynamic adaptation of software behaviour refers to the act of changing the behaviour of some part of a software system as it executes, without stopping or restarting it. It is difficult to dynamically adapt software if ... -
Evaluation of Ontology Mapping Representations
(2009)A common approach to mitigate the effects of ontology heterogeneity is to discover and express the specific correspondences between different ontologies. An open research question is: how should such ontology mappings be ...
