Link quality prediction in mobile ad hoc networks
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2007)Link quality prediction (LQP) is effective in masking topology changes in wireless mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) as previously shown in reducing packet latency in proactive routing. However, most existing LQP algorithms ... -
Good reasons for noting bad grammar : empirical investigations into the parsing of ungrammatical written English
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2005)This thesis is concerned with the parsing of ungrammatical written English sentences. Over a period of eighteen months, a 20,000 word corpus was developed which consists of ungrammatical sentences which were noticed ... -
On the dynamic multiple intelligence informed personalization of the learning environment
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2006)Educational research informs us "one size does not fit all" (Reigeluth, 1996). It states that learners, reflecting individual traits, possess different learning characteristics, process and represent knowledge in different ... -
A delay and disruption tolerant transport layer protocol
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2008)The area of delay-tolerant networking (DTN) is concerned with highly challenged networks in which application layer "sessions" commonly lack contemporaneous end-toend connectivity. For example, efforts to create networks ... -
Hybrid representations and perceptual metrics for scalable human simulation
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2006)The simulation of large crowds of humans is important in many fields of computer graphics, including real-time applications such as games, as they can breathe life into otherwise static scenes and enhance believability. ... -
Methods for meaningful text representation and comparison
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2005)This thesis investigates methods of text representation and comparison using WordNet as a real world knowledge base. The research is carried out within the framework of lexical cohesive theory which defines the cohesive ... -
A risk probability estimation method for security assessment in global computing
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2008)Global Computing is a massively networked infrastructure supporting a large population of diverse but cooperating entities. The composition and characteristics of this infrastructure will be both dynamic and unpredictable. ... -
Automatic generation of optimised virtual machine interpreters
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2006)Virtual Machines (VMs) are commonly used as execution platforms for many modern high-level languages. Two important examples are the Java VM, intended for running Java applications, and Microsoft's Common Language Runtime ... -
Improved optimisation of density forecasting models using multi-objective search with applications in risk management
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2007)Density forecasting is becoming an increasingly popular method of prediction. Density forcasting models produce a probability density function estimate of a future event rather than a standard point estimate. Given that ... -
Novel approaches to biclustering and gene functional classification in microarray gene expression data
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2007)Microarray analysis is a high-throughput experimental technique with the capacity to measure the expressions of thousands of genes in parallel over many experimental samples (tissues types, environmental conditions, time ... -
A unified access control mechanism
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2005)The widespread employment of the Internet facilitates collaboration and the use of distributed applications. Security concerns, such as controlled access to resources are preeminent. Often different applications employ ... -
An Alternative Representation of Video via Feature Extraction (RAAVE)
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Discipline of Computer Science, 2019)This thesis proposes a novel approach called RAAVE to transform video from a linear stream of content into an interactive multimedia document and thereby enhance the exploration potential of video content. Exploring the ... -
A Jigsaw Puzzle Metaphor for Representing Linked Data Mappings
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Discipline of Computer Science, 2019)This thesis presents a visual representation approach for Linked Data mappings known as Jigsaw Puzzles for Representing Mappings, or Juma. The term Linked Data refers to a set of best practices for publishing and interlinking ... -
A Perceptually Optimized Color Selection Technique for Visualization
(2018)We propose an approach, called the Equilibrium Distribution Model (EDM), for automatically selecting colors with optimum perceptual contrast for scientific visualization. Given any number of features that need to be ... -
A Multi-View Image-Based Volume Visualization Technique
(2018)We present an image-based volume visualization approach based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Using PCA, a learned model is trained using pre-rendered images from spherically distributed viewing angles. The views ... -
Challenges in Value-Driven Data Governance
(Springer, Cham, 2018-10-22)Data is quite popularly considered to be the new oil since it has become a valuable commodity. This has resulted in many entities and businesses that hoard data with the aim of exploiting it. Yet, the ‘simple’ exploitation ... -
Personal privacy and online systems
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Discipline of Computer Science, 2019)A significant portion of the modern internet is funded by commercial return from customised content such as advertising where user interests are learned from users' online behaviour and used to display personalised content. ... -
Evaluating the creation and understanding of uplift mappings
(2019)The majority of data in the Web still resides in other formats than the Resource Description Framework (RDF). RDF is a W3C recommendation for representing information in the Web, facilitating data exchange, data integration ... -
Designing the Self-Report of Wellbeing in Pregnancy
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Discipline of Computer Science, 2019)At the present moment, one in six adults living in England meets the diagnostic criteria for anxiety or depression. The significant and long-lasting intergenerational effects of maternal mental health in particular make ... -
Using NLP Techniques to Enhance Content Discoverability and Reusability for Adaptive Systems
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Discipline of Computer Science, 2019)The volume of digital content resources written as text documents is growing every day, at an unprecedented rate. Because this content is generally not structured as easy-to-handle units, it can be very difficult for users ...
