    • A flexible framework for distributed shared objects 

      Weber, Stefan (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2002)
      A distributed shared memory (DSM) system ensures the consistency of shared data in a distributed system while providing the programming paradigm of a single-processor system. Recent DSM systems provide increasingly more ...

    • Explaining the output of ensembles on a case by case basis 

      Wall, Robert (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2003)
      This thesis introduces a novel method for explaining the predictions of ensembles of artificial neural networks on a case by case basis. Current research is primarily directed towards building global model, that is, models ...

    • Unified pattern recognition and its application to handwriting recognition 

      Venguerov, Mark (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2002)
      The goal of this thesis is the design and the implementation of a visual pattern recognition system based on the analysis of fundamental principles of human perception. The system must simultaneously be psychologically ...

    • Supporting meta-types in a compiled, reflective programming language 

      Schäfer, Tilman (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2002)
      Software engineering in a distributed, heterogeneous environment is faced with a number of challenges. With distribution comes the need for synchronisation, transactions, and fault-tolerance while support for different ...

    • Supporting unanticipated dynamic adaptation of object-oriented software 

      Redmond, Barry (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2004)
      Dynamic adaptation of a running program allows the program's behaviour to be changed without stopping or restarting it. Examples of the need for this are in updating long-running systems that cannot be halted and in adapting ...

    • Automated application of design patterns : a refactoring approach 

      Ó Cinnéide, Mel (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2001)
      Software systems have to be flexible in order to cope with evolving requirements. However, since it is impossible to predict with certainty what future requirements will emerge, it is also impossible to determine exactly ...

    • PAM-AID - A study in human-machine cooperative behaviour 

      MacNamara, Shane (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2001)
      The research described in this thesis attempts to address the needs of a growing number of people with both a visual impairment and a mobility impairment. These people tend to live a very inactive lifestyle, often confined ...

    • Towards semantic health records 

      Jung, Benjamin (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2004)
      The benefit of information search and knowledge retrieval using the World Wide Web (WWW) has steadily declined in recent years due to the vast amount of unstructured data. The task of locating relevant information on the ...

    • Time adaptive dynamic simulation of rigid bodies 

      Giang, Thanh (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2004)
      Traditionally the maintenance of high constant frame rates for real-time performance relied on level of detail simplification, usually performed within the geometry domain. However, simplification can also be achieved for ...

    • Hybrid feature-based transform coding of grey-level images 

      Fox, Ivan (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2001)
      The objective of image compression is to achieve the minimum possible bit-rate, within certain bounds of computational complexity, and with a tolerable degree of distortion. In very low bit-rate coding it is generally ...

    • Self-organizing resource location and discovery 

      Doval, Diego (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2005)
      Networked applications were originally centered around backbone interhost communication. Over time, communications moved to a client-server model, where inter-host communication was used mainly for routing purposes. As ...

    • An Information-Centric Approach to Quality of Service in a Highly Dynamic Edge Environment 

      MCCARTHY, JESSICA (Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Discipline of Computer Science, 2019)
      There is a fundamental paradigm shift in how today's communications networks are being used to deliver data. This has emerged from the proliferation of intelligent Internet of Things devices and corresponding volumes of ...

    • ENRICH 2013: the first workshop on the exploration, navigation and retrieval of information in cultural heritage 

      Lawless, Seamus (2013)
      On August 1 , 2013 the First Workshop on the Exploration, Navigation and Retrieval of Information in Cultural Heritage (ENRICH 2013) was held as part of the SIGIR 2013 conference in Dublin, Ireland. An invited talk was ...

    • Enhanced Personalized Search using Social Data 

      Lawless, Seamus (ACL, 2016)
      Search personalization that considers the social dimension of the web has attracted a significant volume of research in recent years. A user profile is usually needed to represent a user’s interests in order to tailor ...

    • A Cold-start Resistant and Extensible Recommender System 

      Lawless, Seamus (2019)
      In this paper, we propose the Cold-start Resistant and Extensible Recommender (CoRE), a novel recommender system that was developed as part of collaborative research with Ryanair, the world’s most visited airline website. ...

    • Introducing ADELE: A personalized intelligent companion 

      Wade, Vincent; Spillane, Brendan (2017)
