    • CORBA based Middleware for Cooperating Mobile Robots 

      Ryan, Colin (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2000-09)
      An embedded system is an autonomous information processing system that determines or controls to a large extent the behaviour of a larger system. The proliferation of embedded systems applications is increasing daily, ...

    • Corba Middleware for a Palm Operating System 

      Connolly, Mary (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2001-09)
      Typically, Computer Networks are heterogeneous and therefore require special middleware applications in order to enable communication across their diverse platforms. Middleware applications make the task of writing ...

    • Cryptographic Access Control for a Network File System 

      Harrington, Anthony (2001-09)
      The rapid growth of mobile computing and the deployment of large distributed systems which span multiple administrative domains has created new challenges for security systems. Changing usage patterns and the physical ...

    • CryptosFS: Fast Cryptographic Secure NFS 

      O'Shanahan, Declan (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2000-09)
      The issue of security in file-systems is as relevant today as when the first file system was developed. Current file system implementations rely heavily on centralised security mechanisms such as access control lists. ...

    • Data Exchange in a Component Based Workflow Environment 

      Fahey, Paul (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 1999-09)
      There is a need to revise existing (successful) software subsystems. One can?t afford to develop a bespoke system, as done previously, so therefore `shrink wrapped solution sets? have to be realised. The problem is how ...

    • Database Sampling to Support the Development of Data-Intensive Applications 

      Bisbal, Jesus (University of Dublin, Trinity College. Department of Computer Science, 2000-10)
      A prototype database is a model of a database which exhibits the desired properties, in terms of its schema and/or data values, of an operational database. Database prototyping has been proposed as a technique to support ...

    • The Decentralised Coordination of Self-Adaptive Components 

      Dowling, Jim (University of Dublin, Trinity College. Department of Computer Science, 2004-10)
      Distributed computing systems are moving towards increasingly autonomous operation and management, in which their interacting components can organise, regulate, repair and optimise themselves without human intervention. ...

    • Decentralized Authorization for Web Services 

      Stefas, Paraskevas (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2005-09)
      Web Services is an area that encountered a very sudden and huge explosion on its popularity during the latest years. The advantages Web Services provide compared to traditional distributed computing methods such as Remote ...

    • Design and Initial Implementation of a Distributed XML Database 

      Pagnamenta, Francesco (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2005-09)
      Techniques for distributed relational database systems have been well researched and developed. This is unsurprising given that the relational database model itself has been in development since the early 1970s. In recent ...

    • Design Synthesis: A Model of Hierarchical Case-Based Reasoning 

      Smyth, Barry; Finn, Donal; Keane, Mark T. (Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1993-12)
      A variety of artificial intelligence techniques have been used in attempts to automate design synthesis tasks. Two common approaches are case-based and decompositional design. While powerful techniques in their own right, ...

    • A detailed derivation of the relationship between generalization error and ambiguity in regression ensembles 

      Zenobi, Gabriele (Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1999-12)
      In this technical report we will show the complete sequence of steps for the derivation of the equation of the Ensemble-Error E = E - A , introduced in the paper by Krogh and Vedelsby [1], that describes the error E of ...

    • Development And Evaluation Of A Scalable, Fault Tolerant Telecommunications System Using EJB And Related Technologies 

      Kim, Oisin (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2001-09)
      The objective of the research project is to investigate how Sun's Enterprise Java Bean technology (EJB) and Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) could be used to produce a prototype Short Message Service Centre (SMSC) which ...

    • Direction Based Routing for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks 

      Nedos, Andronikos (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2001-09)
      A Mobile Ad Hoc Network is comprised of nodes with wireless interfaces that are able to move arbitrarily, changing the network topology as they do so. Designing a routing protocol for such a network, where connections can ...

    • Directory Enabled Smart Spaces 

      Cahill, Enda (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2002-09)
      Significant research and development in the area of system management has been carried out over the last number of years. This research has led to a number of proven technologies that are currently being used to manage ...
