Extending a Knowledge-based Network to support Temporal Event Reasoning
(IEEE, 2010)While the polling or request/response paradigm adopted by many network and systems management approaches form the backbone of modern monitoring and management systems, the most important and interesting events, faults, ... -
Automatic Segmentation and Inpainting of Specular Highlights for Endoscopic Imaging
(2010)Minimally invasive medical procedures have become increasingly common in today's healthcare practice. Images taken during such procedures largely show tissues of human organs, such as the mucosa of the gastrointestinal ... -
Leaky or Guessable Session Identifiers
(IEEE, 2011)Many Internet and Web applications use session identifiers. Too often, developers of those applications make the bad assumption that all is well because session identifiers are only known to authorized users. However, in ... -
Face Reality: Investigating the Uncanny Valley for virtual faces
(2010)The Uncanny Valley (UV) has become a standard term for the theory that near-photorealistic virtual humans often appear unintentionally erie or creepy. This UV theory was ?rst hypothesized by robotics professor Masahiro ... -
An Interactive Context Simulator for Rapid Evaluation of Smart Building Applications using Virtual Reality
(2011)This paper describes the SimCon (Simulated Context) Generator which combines data on the state of a Virtual Reality building with the SimCon Model to generate interactive location context for the rapid evaluation of Smart ... -
Automatic Metadata Extraction from Multilingual Enterprise Content
(2010)Enterprises provide professionally authored content about their products/services in different languages for use in web sites and customer care. For customer care, personalization/personalized information delivery is ... -
DCU-TCD@LogCLEF 2010: Re-ranking Document Collections and Query Performance Estimation
(2010-09-23)Abstract. This paper describes the collaborative participation of Dublin City University and Trinity College Dublin in LogCLEF 2010. Two sets of experiments were conducted. First, different aspects of the TEL query logs ... -
A Hybrid Software and Hardware System for Collision Detection
(University of Dublin, Trinity College, University of Dublin, Trinity College, 2010)Collision detection is a fundamental problem in myriad applications, spanning a wide variety of fields. Although the core concept is relatively straightforward, significant complexities result from the demand for interactive ... -
Leveraging Domain Expertise to Support Complex, Personalized and Semantically Meaningful Queries Across Separate Data Sources
(IEEE, 2010)Abstract?Almost all information domains have witnessed an exponential increase in the amount of structured data available. However, there is still a lack of support for ordinary users to create complex queries spanning ... -
Towards a UTP-style framework to deal with probabilities
(TCD-CS Technical Reports, 2011)We present an encoding of the semantics of the probabilistic guarded command language (pGCL) in the Unifying Theories of Programming (UTP) framework. Our contribution is a UTP encoding that captures pGCL programs as ... -
Personalised Learning for Casual Games: The 'Language Trap' Online Language Learning Game
(Academic Publishing, 2010)The features of video games that contribute to effective learning are drawing increasing attention in the world of technology enhanced learning. To date, game based learning has focussed on the learning benefits provided ... -
Using Multimedia to Reveal the Hidden Code of Everyday Behaviour to Children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASDs)
(2011)This paper describes a framework which was developed for carers (teachers and parents) to help them create personalised social stories for children with autistic spectrum disorders (ASDs). It explores the social challenges ... -
Exploiting proximity in event-based Middleware for collaborative mobile applications
(Springer Berlin / Heidelberg, 2003)Middleware supporting event-based communication is widely recognized as being well suited to mobile applications since it naturally accommodates a dynamically changing population of interacting entities and the dynamic ... -
Managing Fault Tolerance Transparently using CORBA Services
(Springer-Verlag, 1999)Fault tolerance problems arise in large-scale distributed systems because application components may eventually fail due to hardware problems, operator mistakes or design faults. Fault tolerance mechanisms must be employed ... -
Communication Paradigms for Mobile Computing
(ACM, 2002)The widespread deployment and use of wireless data communications causes the need for middleware to interconnect the components that comprise a mobile application. Middleware for mobile computing must deal with the ... -
Implementation of an AmI Communication Service using a Federated Event System Based on Aspects
(IEEE, 2006)Event-based communication can be considered naturally suited to support Ambient Intelligence and Ubiquitous Computing applications due to its asynchronous nature and due to loose coupling between application components. Event ... -
Modelling Event Systems for AmI Applications using an Aspect Middleware Platform
(2006)The development of a communication service is one of the most difficult and important challenges when developing Ambient Intelligence (AmI) applications. Since AmI applications must be able to react to external ... -
Discovery of Stable Peers in a Self-Organising Peer-to-Peer Gradient Topology
(Springer-Verlag, 2006)Peer-to-peer (P2P) systems are characterised by a wide disparity in peer resources and capabilities. In particular, a number of measurements on deployed P2P systems show that peer stability (e.g. uptime) varies by several ... -
High-Bandwidth Mesh-based Overlay Multicast in Heterogeneous Environments
(ACM Press, 2006)In this paper we present MeshCast, a peer-to-peer (p2p) multicast protocol for applications requiring high bandwidth (such as live video streaming) from a server to a large number of receivers. Traditional tree-based ... -
A Service-Oriented Peer-to-Peer Architecture for a Digital Ecosystem
(IEEE Computer Society, 2007)Service-oriented computing is becoming an increasingly popular paradigm for modelling and building distributed systems in heterogeneous, decentralised, and open environments. However, proposed service-oriented architectures ...
