Knowledge Engineering Requirements in Derivational Analogy
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1996-08)A major advantage in using a case-based approach to developing knowledge-based systems is that it can be applied to problems where a strong domain theory may be difficult to determine. However the development of case-based ... -
ISAC: A CBR System for Decision Support in Air Traffic Control
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1996-08)The conflict resolution task performed by air-traffic controllers appears a suitable task for automation using CBR. This is because human competence seems to involve recognising situations and reusing solutions. In this ... -
Case-Based Reasoning in Scheduling: Reusing Solution Components
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1996-08)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 scheduling ... -
Where do "Soccer Moms" Come From? : Cognitive Constraints on Noun-Noun Compounding in English
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1996-12)Every year new noun-noun combinations enter the English language and become common parlance; compounds like "notebook computer" and "soccer mom". But, why is one pair of words chosen rather than another pair ? For ... -
Polysemy in Conceptual Combination: Testing the Constraint Theory of Combination
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1996-12)Most novel noun-noun combinations are polysemous in that they tend to suggest several possible meanings. A finger cup can be a cup in which fingers are washed, a cup shaped like a finger, a narrow cup and so on. In this ... -
An overview on legacy system migration
(IEEE, 1997)Legacy information systems typically form the backbone of the information flow within an organisation and are the main vehicle for consolidating information about the business. These systems also pose considerable problems ... -
Bridging boundaries: CORBA in perspective.
(1997)pplications that cross the boundaries of different computing machines, operating systems, and programming languages are increasingly the norm. As a result, the need for what might be called ?bridging technologies? ... -
Using Case Retrieval to Seed Genetic Algorithms
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1997)In this paper we evaluate the usefulness of seeding genetic algorithms (GAs) from a case-base. This is motivated by the expectation that the seeding will speed up the GA by starting the search in promising regions of the ... -
The Butterfly methodology: a Gateway-free approach for migrating legacy information systems
(IEEE, 1997)The problems posed by mission-critical legacy systems - e.g., brittleness, inflexibility, isolation, nonextensibility, lack of openness - are well known, but practical solutions have been slow to emerge. Generally, o ... -
Comprehensive distributed garbage collection by tracking causal dependencies of relevant mutator events.
(IEEE, 1997)Comprehensive distributed garbage collection an objectoriented distributed systems has mostly been addressed via distributed versions of graph-tracing algorithms, a legacy of centralised garbage collection techniques. Two ... -
Reliability assessment from fatigue micro-crack data
(IEEE, 1997)Summary & Conclusions -Micro-cracks are generally defined to be cracks less than 1 nun in length, which propagate under cyclic stresses until they grow large and cause failure in an item (eg, component or structure). This ... -
Hierarchical Case-Based Reasoning: Integrating Case-Based and Decompositional Problem-Solving Techniques for Plant-Control Software Design
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1997)Case-based reasoning (CBR) is an AI technique that emphasises the role of past experience during future problem solving. New problems are solved by retrieving and adapting the solutions to similar problems, solutions ... -
REACT: REal-time Adaptive Collision Testing, a Interactive Vision approach
(1997)As the demand for high levels of interaction in computer systems increases, so too does the need for real-time, interactive animation. Detecting collisions between geometrically modelled objects remains a major bottleneck in ... -
Dynamic Charging for Information Services
(Institution of Electrical Engineers, 1997)The last five years has seen an incredibly rapid growth in the number of subscribers to the Internet and in the number of organisations which now consider a presence on the world wide web as vital to their commercial ... -
Fast numerical calculation of UHF propagation over two dimensional dielectric irregular terrain using an integral equation method
(1997)In this paper we describe a new high speed method for the calculation of UHF propagation over irregular terrain which is considered to be a homogeneous dielectric. The method, given that it is rigorous and includes both ... -
Code Generation with ?Visual Modeller?
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1997)?Visual Modeller? is a CASE tool that permits end-users to model business processes, using the associated method ?Visual Modelling?. It is also able to generate the database and a ?front-end? application from this model. ... -
Mobile Agents - Smart Messages
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1997-05)Wireless communication with Mobile Computing devices is known to be problematic. It is very different in character from conventional communication over wired networks. Since many distributed applications make assumptions ...
