Facilitating dynamic schedules for healthcare professionals
(IEEE, 2006)Healthcare professionals working in highly dynamic hospital environments typically have correspondingly dynamic schedules that are difficult to manage. Emergent tasks and shifting priorities result in existing schedules ... -
Behind the rules: XP experiences
(IEEE, 2004)Agile processes such as XP (extreme programming) have been recognised for their potential benefits of improving software. During adoption of the XP process, teams can misapply the XP principles by following them verbatim, ... -
Theme: an approach for aspect-oriented analysis and design
(IEEE, 2004)Aspects are behaviours that are tangled and scattered across a system. In requirements documentation, aspects manifest themselves as descriptions of behaviours that are intertwined, and woven throughout. Some aspects may ... -
An evaluation of aspect-oriented programming for Java-based real-time systems development
(IEEE, 2004)Some concerns, such as debugging or logging functionality, cannot be captured cleanly, and are often tangled and scattered throughout the code base. These concerns are called crosscutting concerns. Aspect-oriented programming ... -
High performance scientific computing using FPGAs with IEEE floating point and logarithmic arithmetic for Lattice QCD
(IEEE, 2006)The recent development of large FPGAs along with the availability of a variety of floating point cores have made it possible to implement high-performance matrix and vector kernel operations on FPGAs. In this paper we ... -
FPGA implementation of adaptive filters based on GSFAP using log arithmetic
(IEEE, 2006)Adaptive filters are used in many applications of digital signal processing. Digital communications and digital video broadcasting are just two examples. The GSFAP algorithm, discussed in the paper, is characterized by ... -
Providing Hard Real-Time Guarantees in Context-Aware Applications: Challenges and Requirements
(IEEE Computer Society, 2005)Context-aware applications rely on the ability to perceive the state of the surrounding environment. In this paper, we address a class of such applications where real-time guarantees are required on top of mobile ad hoc ... -
The role of standardisation in future autonomic communication systems
(IEEE Computer Society, 2008)This paper examines the potential problems of interoperability in the development and widespread future deployment of autonomic communication systems. It draws on experiences from previous standardization efforts in the ... -
Tools for model-based security engineering
(ACM, 2006)We present tool-support for checking UML models and C code against security requirements. A framework supports implementing verification routines, based on XMI output of the diagrams from UML CASE tools, and on control ... -
Adaptive Abstraction of 3D Scenes in Realtime
(Eurographics Association, 2007)We present an approach for creating abstracted renderings of 3D scenes in real-time. We create painterly renderings with edge detail using varying levels of abstraction dependent on regions of interest within a scene. ... -

Efficient collision detection for spherical blend skinning
(ACM Press, 2006)Recently, two algorithms improving the real-time simulation of articulated models in virtual environments have been published: 1) fast collision detection for linear blend skinning and 2) spherical blend skinning. Both ... -
Non-Local Contexts Help Resolve Ambiguity
(2006)This paper addresses nonlocal context effects in the interpretation of ambiguous utterances in natural language. We examine equivocation as a form of discourse ambiguity and demonstrate that nonlocal contexts can resolve ... -
Constructing Bayesian Networks Automatically using Ontologies
(IOS Press, 2006)Bayesian Networks are probabilistic structured representations of domains which have been applied to monitoring and manipulating cause and effects for modelled systems as disparate as the weather, disease and mobile ... -
'Runsort' - An Adaptive Mergesort for Prolog
(TCD Computer Science Department, 2005)This note describes a novel list-sorting method for Prolog which is stable, has O(n log n) worst-case behaviour and O(n) best-case behaviour. The algorithm is an adaptive variant of bottom-up mergesort using so-called ... -
Efficient Ensemble Methods for Document Clustering
(Department of Computer Science, Trinity College Dublin, 2006-08-18)Recent ensemble clustering techniques have been shown to be effective in improving the accuracy and stability of standard clustering algorithms. However, an inherent drawback of these techniques is the computational ... -

Three keys to developing and integrating telecommunications service management systems
(1999)With the deregulation of the telecommunication industry in Europe and the United States, communication and information services (e.g., multimedia entertainment services, educational services) are being increasingly delivered ... -
Unsupervised Camera Motion Estimation and Moving Object Detection in Videos
(2006)In this article, we consider the robust estimation of a location parameter using Mestimators. We propose here to couple this estimation with the robust scale estimate proposed in [Dahyot and Wilson, 2006]. The resulting ...
