      O'Leary, Ciaran (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2000-09)
      Since its creation the World Wide Web has revolutionised how we work. Academics have used it as a media to exchange research information, businesses use it to access markets previously unavailable to them and a growing ...

    • Collaborative Ad-hoc Applications 

      O'Connell, Paul (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2000-09)
      The proliferation of mobile hand-held devises and the development of ad-hoc networking technologies has opened the possibility for users of these devises to partake in collaborative applications with other mobile users. ...

    • A Toolkit for the Visualisation of CORBA Applications 

      Miller, Robert (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 ...

    • Dublin Bus Tracking Service: Design and implementation of a device independent passenger information system 

      Fallon, Eamonn (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2000-09)
      Traditionally public transport has been perceived as the less desirable alternative to the car. The environmental argument of using public transport has not led to a significant increase in the usage of public transport. ...

    • Real-Time Display of Dublin Traffic Information on the Web 

      Dineen, Mark (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2000-09)
      Many large-scale and highly specialised distributed systems such as Urban Traffic Control (UTC) systems produce considerable quantities of data on a real-time basis. This data is then frequently locked in a proprietary ...
