Objects, Components and the Virtual Enterprise
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1999-02)We are currently witnessing a convergence of several threads of technology and business imperatives. The idea of a virtual enterprise (VE) ? a business built from both organizationally and geographically distributed units ... -
Program Restructuring to Introduce Design Patterns
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1999-02)In restructuring legacy code it may be useful to introduce a design pattern in order to add clarity to the system and thus facilitate further program evolution. We show that aspects of this transformation can be automated ... -
MCK: Wireless Communication with Mobile Agents.
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1998-06) -
Distributed CBR using XML
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1998-06)CBR (case-based reasoning) has considerable potential for developing intelligent assistants for the World Wide Web. Several case-based intelligent applications already exist on the web but these applications follow a ... -
CBR Net :- Smart Technology over a Network
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1998-06)CBR (case-based reasoning) has considerable potential for developing intelligent assistants for the World Wide Web. We examine intelligent applications already existent online and find that they can be divided into agent ... -
The Epoch Interpretation of Learning
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1998-06)In this paper we propose a simple, alternative interpretation of backpropagation learning. We call this the ?epoch interpretation of learning? and show how it can be used to improve the performance of earlystopping based ... -
Hierarchical CBR for Multiple Aircraft Conflict Resolution in Air Traffic Control
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1998-07)In this paper we present a Case-Based Reasoning system that helps air traffic controllers to solve aircraft conflicts. In particular, we focus on the hierarchical aspect of the CBR system which is able to solve multiple ... -
Agent Mediated Collaborative Web Page Filtering
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1998-07)Intelligent filtering of multimedia documents such as World Wide Web (WWW) pages is an extremely difficult task to automate. However, the determination of a page?s relevance to one?s interests is a skill that comes ... -
Generalised Syntactic Pattern Recognition as a Unifying Approach in Image Analysis
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1998-08)In this paper we analyse theoretical foundations of syntactic pattern recognition and its relationships with mathematical linguistics, structural pattern recognition, and statistical pattern recognition. We point out ... -
An Incremental Retrieval Mechanism for Case-Based Electronic Fault Diagnosis
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1998-09)One problem with using CBR for diagnosis is that a full case description may not be available at the beginning of the diagnosis. The standard CBR methodology requires a detailed case description in order to perform case ... -
Modular parsers
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1998-09-29)Traditional parser generators are designed to produce highly optimised parsers for grammars known in their entirety ahead of time. There are some circumstances where it is desirable to construct a parser from grammar ... -
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, ... -
Shaping a CBR view with XML
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1999-04)Case Based Reasoning has found increasing application on the Internet as an assistant in Internet commerce stores and as a reasoning agent for online technical support. The strength of CBR in this area stems from its ... -
The Limits of CBR in Software Project Estimation
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1999-03)Software project cost estimation is difficult because of problems of quantifying project size and because of the continual emergence of new technology. This presents as a classic example of a weak theory domain where ... -
A Methodology for the Automated Introduction of Design Patterns
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1999-03)In reengineering legacy code it is frequently useful to introduce a design pattern in order to add clarity to the system and thus facilitate further program evolution. We show that this type of transformation can be ... -
?Drawing Illusions? ? a case study in the incorrectness of diagrammatic reasoning
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1999-03)In ?Something to Reckon With? [6], a system for diagramming syllogistic inferences using straight line segments is presented (see also Englebretsen [5]). In the light of recent research on the representational power of ... -
Case-based User Profiling in a Personal Travel Assistant
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1999-03)[Introduction] In this paper we present an architecture for a Personal Travel Assistant (PTA). We focus on the ability of this PTA to elaborate a user?s travel requirements and evaluate offers. These decisions are based ... -
JFS: A Secure Distributed File System for Network Computers
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1999-03)Network-centric computing aims to solve the problems associated with traditional client/server systems, namely the high performance requirements, and costly maintenance of, the computing resources. With the network-centric ... -
Building the next generation groupware: A survey of groupware and its impact on the virtual enterprise
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1999-02)[Executive Summary] This document explores the issues in building the ?groupware of the future?. The approach is twofold. First we briefly describe our vision of a ?virtual enterprise? that is made up of a set of services ... -
A first taste of Vanilla
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1998-09-29)We present an overview of Vanilla, a system for building interpreters from components implementing language fragments. We describe Vanilla?s architecture and capabilities, and illustrate its use by defining a simple ...
