CAWriter : using an Activity System perspective to inform the design of tools to support early career Ph.D. candidates
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)This thesis adheres to the view that the purpose of a Ph.D. is to both make a significant contribution to knowledge and to provide the candidate with the skills necessary to conduct "independent" research, culminating ... -
Interaction-based information retrieval in multimodal, online, artefact-focused meeting recordings
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2007)Traditional search operations, topic detection or summarisation of meeting recordings are generally performed using segmentation and indexing techniques originally developed in the field of Multimedia Information Retrieval. ... -
Collaborative, contextual, and technology-mediated mathematics learning activities : design heuristics and effects on student engagement
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2015)This dissertation describes an approach to mathematics activity design that aligns the affordances of off-the-shelf technologies with relevant mathematics pedagogy. The aim is to create transformative learning experiences ... -
A dependency modelling approach for the management of ontology-based integration systems
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2011)Ontology-based approaches that formally represent the meaning of information in a system, offer the hope of dealing with semantic heterogeneity when integrating heterogeneous data sources [Halevy 2001, Noy 2004, Wache et ... -
Formalising a real-time coordination model
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2015)The subject of this thesis pertains to coordination in systems of entities characterised by mobile, real-time behaviour and unreliable communication over a wireless network. Such systems are now being deployed both in ... -
An image analysis and machine learning approach to measuring the quality of individual colonoscopy procedures
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2013)The measurement of quality in colonoscopy is an active topic in medical research. Studies report significant miss rates in the detection of colorectal lesions. This has raised the concern among gastroenterologists that the ... -
Behavioural equivalences for web services
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2013)This thesis is a foundational and systematic investigation of the principles which ensure that a piece of communicating software can be replaced by another piece of communicating software, without hindering the operations ... -
Authorization management for pervasive computing

Statistical models for rank data
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2007)Rank data arise when a set of judges rank some or all of a set of objects. Rank data emerges in many areas of society; the list of the world’s most cited scientists or the final ordering of horses in a race provide examples ... -
Modelling and analysing cooperative adaptive queueing networks and their learning behaviour
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2010)Service networks and the assignment of tasks on such networks are prevalent abstractions in a spectrum of domains spanning manufacturing systems, where a strict dependency on the execution of the tasks exist, load-balancing ... -
Design and implementation of an ahead-of-time compiler for PHP
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2010)In recent years the importance of dynamic scripting languages -such as PHP, Python, Ruby and Javascript - has grown as they are used for an increasing amounts of sortware development. Scripting languages provide high-level ... -
Sample identification and tracking in biobanks
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2010)Biobanks or bio-repositories facilitate the storage and maintenance of biological samples and data to support discovery of biomarkers, therapeutic targets, and the underlying causes of diseases. Such discoveries require ... -
OntoSeg: a Novel Approach to Text Segmentation using Ontological Similarity
(2015)Text segmentation (TS) aims at dividing long text into coherent segments which reflect the subtopic structure of the text. It is beneficial to many natural language processing tasks, such as Information Retrieval (IR) and ... -
Towards Evaluating the Impact of Anaphora Resolution on Text Summarisation from a Human Perspective
(Springer International Publishing, 2016)Automatic Text Summarisation (TS) is the process of abstracting key content from information sources. Previous research attempted to combine diverse NLP techniques to improve the quality of the produced summaries. ... -
A Framework to Provide Customized Reuse of Open Corpus Content for Adaptive Systems
(ACM, 2015)One of the main services that Adaptive Systems offer to their users is the provision of content that is tailored to individual user’s needs. Some Adaptive Systems use a closed corpus content that has been prepared for them ... -
