Smart Radio - a proposal
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1999-04)There is significant value in having predictions for an item before deciding whether to invest time or money in consuming that item. In a web based scenario where the items are multimedia items such as audio, ... -
Smart Radio - Building Music Radio On the Fly
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 2000-09)This paper describes the development of a networked music application at Trinity College Dublin. Smart Radio is a web based client-server application which uses streaming audio technology and collaborative recommendation ... -
Smart Radio: Building Community-Based Internet Music Radio
(University of Dublin, Trinity College. Department of Computer Science, 2003-10)The success of file-sharing networks demonstrates that there is a huge potential market for digital music services, if the music industry can find a service model that is attractive to listeners. The concept of digital ... -
SOAP in a mobile Environment
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2004-09)Recent years has seen a dramatic rise in the number of mobile devices in use. These devices include PDAs, mobile phones and embedded devices such as those found in cars for satellite tracking. As the use of these devices ... -
Software Agents: A review
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1997-05-27)[Introduction] In September 1996, Broadcom Ireland formed a research collaboration with the Computer Science Department in Trinity College Dublin., in order to explore current research in the domain of Intelligent Agents ... -
SourceWeave.Net: Cross Language Source Code Weaving
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2003-09)A well modularised software system reduces complexity and supports change. Separating concerns as a means of achieving good modularisation, is therefore one of the primary principles in software engineering. In general, ... -
Stability Problems with Artificial Neural Networks and the Ensemble Solution
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1999-10)Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are very popular as classification or regression mechanisms in medical decision support systems despite the fact that they are unstable predictors. This instability means that small ... -
State of the Art Review of Mobile Payment Technology
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 2003-06-13)[Introduction] Mobile payments will gain significant traction in the coming years as the mobile and payment technologies mature and become widely available. Various technologies are competing to become the established ... -
Story Games and the OPIATE System: Using Case-Based Planning for Structuring Plots with an Expert Story Director Agent and Enacting them in a Socially Simulated Game World
(University of Dublin, Trinity College. Department of Computer Science, 2004-10)Storytelling in computer games has become a major selling point for new titles. With new games integrating compelling storylines with simulated worlds, there is increasingly a standard set of techniques used to tell a ... -
Supporting Disconnected Operation in Mobile CORBA
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 1999-09)CORBA has been used successfully for a number of years as a way of building and connecting distributed applications. Normally this has been in the context of a wired network with static hosts. With recent developments ... -
A Survey of Gesture Recognition Techniques
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1993-07-17)Processing speeds have increased dramatically, bitmapped displays allow graph ics to be rendered and updated at increasing rates, and in general computers have advanced to the point where they can assist humans in complex ... -
SWARM: Cooperative Reinforcement Learning for Routing in Ad-hoc Networks
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2003-09)Existing ad-hoc routing protocols are based on a discrete, bimodal model for links between nodes: a link either exists or is broken. This model usually considers only the most recent transmission as determining the state ... -
TATUS A Ubiquitous Computing Simulator
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2004-09)?... we are trying to conceive a new way of thinking about computers in the world, one that takes into account the natural human environment and allows the computers themselves to vanish into the background? - Mark Weiser, ... -
Testing Formal Semantics: Handel-C
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2005-09)This dissertation addresses the formal semantics of Handel-C: a C-based language with true parallelism and priority-based channel communication, which can be compiled to hardware. It describes an implementation in the ... -
Testing of a Novel Distributed Shared Memory Framework
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 1999-09)A novel object oriented framework for software Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) has been developed by the Distributed Systems Group in Trinity College, Dublin for programming parallel applications on a group of loosely ... -
TinyTorrent: Combining BitTorrent and SensorNets
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2005-09)The first of the two goals of this research was to investigate the BitTorrent protocol to determine what features make it successful on an Internet scale. These features include its ability to rapidly replicate data ... -
A Toolkit for the Visualisation of CORBA Applications
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2000-09)VEDA is a visualisation environment that allows the operation of distributed applications to be visualised graphically for the purposes of testing and education. It contains a visualisation package which enables distributed ... -
Trading Privacy for Trust
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 2004-08-26)Both privacy and trust relate to knowledge about an entity. However, there is an inherent conflict between trust and privacy: the more knowledge a first entity knows about a second entity, the more accurate should be the ... -
