    • Eiffel**: An implementation of Effel 

      CAHILL, VINNY (Prentice Hall, 1993)
      Eiffel is an implementation of Eiffel which provides support for distribution, persistence, concurrency and transactions. All objects in an Eiffel system are global (i.e. accessible from nodes other than that at which they ...

    • Multi-policy optimization in decentralized autonomic systems (extended abstract). 

      DUSPARIC, IVANA; CAHILL, VINNY (2009)
      This paper addresses the challenge of multi-policy optimization in decentralized autonomic systems. We evaluate several multi-policy reinforcement learning-based optimization techniques in an urban traffic control ...

    • Quartz: a QoS architecture for open systems 

      CAHILL, VINNY (IEEE, 2000)
      This paper describes an architecture that provides support for quality of service (QoS) specification and enforcement in heterogeneous distributed computing systems. The Quartz QoS architecture has been designed to ...

    • Comprehensive distributed garbage collection by tracking causal dependencies of relevant mutator events. 

      CAHILL, VINNY (IEEE, 1997)
      Comprehensive distributed garbage collection an objectoriented distributed systems has mostly been addressed via distributed versions of graph-tracing algorithms, a legacy of centralised garbage collection techniques. Two ...

    • Supporting object oriented languages on the Comandos platform 

      CAHILL, VINNY (Commission of the European, 1991)
      The Comandos project 3 is designing and implementing a platform to support distributed persistent applications. In particular the platform supports the object oriented style of programming. An essential requirement of the ...

    • Bridging boundaries: CORBA in perspective. 

      CAHILL, VINNY (1997)
      pplications that cross the boundaries of different computing machines, operating systems, and programming languages are increasingly the norm. As a result, the need for what might be called ?bridging technologies? ...

    • OISIN: Operating system support for objects in a distributed environment 

      CAHILL, VINNY (IEEE, 1991)

    • The Amadeus GRT: Generic runtime support for distributed persistent programming 

      CAHILL, VINNY (ACM, 1993)
      -

    • Implementing atomic objects with the RelaX transaction facility. 

      CAHILL, VINNY (1992)
      RelaX offers an extensible transaction facility which isolates distributed (thus complex) transaction processing. A distributed system providing basic support for local recovery may easily be enhanced with flexible transaction ...

    • Towards generic support for distributed information systems 

      CAHILL, VINNY (IEEE, 1991)
      We are concerned with providing support for a range of object oriented programming langauges to be used in multi-user, multi-machine, heterogeneous environments requiring associative access, as well as concurrency and ...

    • A Logic Based Implementation of Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar 

      VOGEL, CARL; VOGEL, CARL (Elsevier, 1991)
      Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG), a unification-based formal language for describing linguistic phenomena, has a declarative semantics which makes it amenable to specification as a logic program. The HPSG ...

    • Psychological Evidence for Assumptions of Path-Based Inheritance Reasoning 

      VOGEL, CARL (1994)
      The psychological validity of inheritance reasoners is clarified. Elio and Pelletier (1993) presented the first pilot experiment exploring some of these issues. We investigate other foundational assumptions of inheritance ...

    • Inducing a cline from corpora of political manifestos 

      VOGEL, CARL (ACM, 2003)
      Techniques from corpus linguistics are applied to the analysis of a number of European right-wing parties in an effort to extend methods for ranking parties on a left-right spectrum within and across countries and ...

    • The topology of WordNet: some metrics 

      VOGEL, CARL (2004)
      This paper outlines some different metrics intended for measuring node specicity in WordNet. Statistics are used to characterise topological properties of the overall network.

    • Using Wordnet hierarchies to pinpoint differences in related texts 

      VOGEL, CARL (2003)
      We present a means of comparing texts to highlight their informational differences. The system builds a Directed Acyclic Graph representation of the combined WordNet hypernym hierarchies of the nouns. Comparison of ...

    • Wordnet enhanced automatic crossword generation 

      VOGEL, CARL (The Global Wordnet Association, 2006)
      We report on a system for automatically gener- ating and displaying crosswords from a system manager supplied database of potential clues and corresponding words that index those clues. The system relies on the lexical ...

    • Dynamic semantics for metaphor 

      VOGEL, CARL (2001)
      An intensional logic with dynamic interpretation is presented in order to provide a formal semantics for sense extension, lexical ambiguity and metaphoricity. Intensionality is required in order to provide the right ...

    • A platform for simulating language evolution 

      VOGEL, CARL (Springer, 2006)
      A platform for conducting experiments in the simulation of natural lan- guage evolution is presented. The system is paramaterized for indepen- dent specification of important features like: number of agents, commu- nication ...

    • Automatic Character Assignation 

      LYNCH, GERARD; VOGEL, CARL (Springer, 2007)
      This article outlines a simple method for parsing an ASCII-format dra- matic work from the Project Gutenberg Corpus into separate characters. The motivation for the program is a upcoming study in computational stylistics ...
