On Order Effects in Analogical Mapping: Predicting Human Error Using IAM
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1995-04)The Incremental Analogy Machine (IAM) predicts that the order in which parts of an analogy are processed can affect the ease of analogical mapping. In this paper, the predictions of this model are tested in two ... -
Transfer Between Analogies: How Solving One Analogy Problem Helps to Solve Another
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1995-04)This paper deals with transfer between analogies; with what people acquire from one analogy problem-solving episode that can be re-applied to a subsequent analogy, problem-solving episode. This issue must be resolved if ... -
On the Automatic Generation of Case Libraries by Chunking Chess Games
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1995-05)As a research topic computer game playing has contributed problems to AI that manifest exponential growth in the problem space. For the most part, in games such as chess and checkers these problems have been surmounted ... -
CBR in Scheduling: Reusing Solution Components
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1995-06)In this paper we explore the reuse of components of known good schedules in new scheduling problems. This involves accumulating a case-base of good quality schedules, retrieving a case (or cases) similar to a new ... -
On the use of CBR in optimisation problems such as the TSP
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1995-06)The particular strength of CBR is normally considered to be its use in weak theory domains where solution quality is compiled into cases and is reusable. In this paper we explore an alternative use of CBR in optimisati ... -
An Improved Translation of SA/RT Specification Model to High-Level Timed Petri Nets
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1995-10)Structured analysis methods for real-time systems (SA/RT) are widely accepted by the industrial world as a mature approach to real-time systems design. These methods use highly expressive graphical specification languages ... -
Aontas: The CaberNet Technical Abstracts Service
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1995-10)CaberNet is the ESPRIT network of excellence in distributed systems consisting of several European research groups. CaberNet has industrial affiliates who receive regular information about the research activities of ... -
Epistemological Pitfalls in Metaphor Comprehension: A Comparison of Three Models and a New Theory of Metaphor
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1995-12)[Introduction] If metaphor is to be viewed as a fundamental cognitive agency, as recent work suggests, what ramifications does this view have for a model of semantic memory? This paper presents a computational treatment ... -
On Adaptation in Analogy
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1995-12)When people use analogies to solve problems they form an analogical mapping between two domains of knowledge. This mapping may support inferences by analogy that suggest a novel solution to a problem. Several factors ... -
It's your choice - on the design and implementation of a flexible metalevel architecture
(IEEE Computer Society, 1996)Traditional configurable operating systems typically provide a fixed and limited set of functionality. We propose a metalevel architecture, where application-defined objects can choose from a rich selection of possible ... -
Techniques for handling scale and distribution in virtual worlds.
(ACM SIGOPS, 1996)Lack of bandwidth and network latency are known to be major impediments to achieving realism in distributed virtual world (vw) applications with a large number of, potentially geographically dispersed, entities. This paper ... -
Meta-object protocols for C++: The Iguana approach.
(1996)Meta-Object Protocols (MOPs) are an impor- tant aspect of object-oriented re ective pro- gramming. A number of C++ extensions have been implemented that include certain re ective features, however none of these ... -
An overview of the Tigger object-support operating system framework
(Springer-Verlag, 1996)This paper describes the motivations for and main features of Tigger -- a framework for the construction of a family of object-support operating systems that can be tailored for use in a variety of different application ... -
System support for scalable distributed virtual worlds.
(ACM, 1996)Lack of bandwidth has been shown to be a major impediment to achieving realism in large scale virtual worlds with many interacting entities. Recent projects that have addressed this problem have, for the most part, been ... -
Estimation of asymmetry in physics
(IEEE, 1996)The notion of asymmetry arises in many physical experiments, being a natural expression of the relative difference between two quantities. In this paper, we discuss the estimation of asymmetries between the rates of two ... -
