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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Using CBR techniques to detect plagiarism in computing assignments
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1993-09)The problems of case retrieval in CBR and plagiarism detection have in common a need to detect close but not exact matches between exemplars. In this paper we describe a plagiarism detection system that has been inspired ... -
Knowledge Engineering Requirements in Derivational Analogy
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1993-09)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 ... -
Removing Epistemological Bias From Empirical Observation of Neural Networks
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1994-05-25)This paper addresses the application of neural network research to a theory of autonomous systems. Neural networks, while enjoying considerable success in autonomous systems applications, have failed to provide a firm ... -
A Review of Explanation and Explanation in Case-Based Reasoning
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 2003) -
Conceptual Scoffolding: A Spatially-founded Meaning Representation for Metaphor Comprehension
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1992-04)Once viewed as a rhetorical and superficial language phenomenon, metaphor is now recognized to serve a fundamental role in our conceptual structuring and language comprehension processes. In particular, it is argued that ... -
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 ... -
Overview of the Amadeus Project
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1992-02)An introduction to the Amadeus v1.0 environment for distributed and persistent programming in C++ is described. -
Amadeus Installation and Maintainence Guide
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1992-02)The installation and maintainence of an Amadeus system is described. -
C** Programmers' Guide
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1992-02)The C** extensions to C++ for distributed and persistent programming in C++ are described. -

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 ... -
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 ... -
Analogical Asides on Case-Based Reasoning
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1994-09)This paper explores some of the similarities and differences between cognitive models of analogy and case-based reasoning systems. I first point out a paradox in the treatment of adaptation in analogy and in case-based ...
