    • An analysis of content-free dialogue representation, supervised classification methods and evaluation metrics for meeting topic segmentation 

      Su, Jing (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2011)
      Automatic topic segmentation in meeting recordings is intensively investigated due to the fact that topic is a salient discourse structure and it indicates natural reference points for contents. Unlike commonly used ...

    • Collaborative requirements elicitation to foster shared understanding 

      Stynes, Anthony Paul (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2015)
      Fostering shared understanding of how to support organisational change involves a complex interaction of stakeholders in order to achieve alignment of business processes and IT infrastructure. Collaboration ...

    • Language support for communicating transactions 

      Spaccasassi, Carlo (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2016)
      In the context of databases, a transaction is a sequence of data operations that are executed atomically and in isolation: either all operations are executed or none is; and their effects are visible to the environment ...

    • Self-organizing topology adaptation in peer-to-peer networks 

      Singh, Atul (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2007)
      The peers in a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) system arrange themselves in a virtual network called the overlay network. The overlay network sits above the underlying physical network and is used to search for resources and peers, ...

    • Virtual machine showdown: stack versus registers 

      Shi, Yunhe (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2007)
      Virtual machines (VMs) enable the distribution of programs in an architecture-neutral format, which can easily be interpreted or compiled. The most popular VMs, such as the Java virtual machine (JVM), use a virtual stack ...

    • Certainty assessment in informal language 

      Mamani Sanchéz, Liliana (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2015)
      This research studied linguistic hedges in informal language style. Hedges are expressions that show a weakened commitment of speakers with respect to what they are saying. This modification in their commitment is made for ...

    • Supporting Wizard of Oz experimentation for language technology applications 

      Schlogl, Stephan (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2013)
      Wizard of OZ (WOZ) is a well-established method used by researchers and product designers to simulate the functionality and user experience of future systems. Using a human wizard to mimic possible operations is particularly ...

    • A study of the formation and nature of a community of learners within a blended, part-time, graduate, higher education programme 

      Savage, Timothy (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2015)
      This study uses a grounded theory approach to develop a theoretical understanding of the formation, nature, and impact of a blended community on the educational experience of part-time higher education students. Within ...

    • Exploiting heterogeneity in peer-to-peer systems using gradient topologies 

      Sacha, Jan (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2009)
      A peer-to-peer system can be defined as an overlay network built by a set of nodes on top of a physical network infrastructure and its operating protocols, such as the Internet. In a peer-to-peer network, each node ...

    • Decentralized optimization of fluctuating urban traffic using reinforcement learning 

      Salkham, As'ad (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2010)

    • Command and control for grid infrastructures 

      Rochford, Keith (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2008)

    • The SMG DSM system: enabling shared memory for the grid 

      Ryan, John Paul (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2007)
      Parallel computing has taken the rst steps along its next evolutionary route: com- putational grids are now a reality. Success, however, depends not only on the tools available, but allowing ...

    • Influencing user perception using real-time adaptive abstraction 

      Redmond, Niall (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2010)
      Real-time applications such as games, medical or technical visualisations and urban simulations can often be highly complex in nature. This can lead to too much visual data being presented to the user at once, which can ...

    • Extending event based programming for sensor-driven applications in resource-constrained environments 

      Reilly, Sean (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2011)
      The ubiquitous computing vision which began with Weiser and its evolution since predicts large quantities of sensors, actuators and computational devices embedded in our environment enabling advanced applications which ...

    • PiCSE : a framework for simulation and emulation of pervasive computing applications 

      Reynolds, Vincent (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2015)
      The field of pervasive computing is changing rapidly, with the proliferation of and advances in hardware and communication technologies resulting in a shift towards a large-scale, heterogeneous pervasive computing world ...

    • A multi-faceted model of trust that is personalisable and specialisable 

      Quinn, Karl (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2007)
      Trust is a term that is open to a wide range of subjective interpretations, and it has therefore been argued that “trust is a fashionable but overloaded term with lots of intertwined ...

    • Social grid agents 

      Pierantoni, Gabriele (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2009)
      The problem of resource allocation in Grid computing has been actively tackled by the scientific community for some years; its complexity is in meeting the expectations of different actors with different concepts of ...
