Towards semantic health records
(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 ... -
Towards the development of a clinically effective interoperable epilepsy electronic patient record
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2016)eHealth including Electronic Patient Records1(EPRs), is a key enabler to effectively support the coordinated approach to chronic disease management (CDM), including epilepsy, by improving information flow between patients ... -
Transfer function optimization for volume visualization based on visibility and saliency
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2016)Volume data is widely used in scientific and medical research, and volume visualization techniques aim to provide effective and flexible methods for analyzing and exploring complex structures in such data. However, obtaining ... -
TRANSIT: adapting the Internet for mobile & ad hoc operation
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2006)The current Internet struggles to cope with changing demands. Designed for a static network, the techniques that have evolved to configure devices, assign addresses and handle mobility, have proved inadequate in a mobile ... -
Translating from "State-Rich" to "State Poor" process algebras
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2016)Following the development of formalisms based on data and behavioural aspects of the system, there are a number of attempts in which these two formalisms are mixed together to get benefit of both paradigms. Circus being a ... -
Trust as a form of defeasible reasoning
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2008)Computational models of Trust have recently emerged as a way to exploit the human notion of trust in open and collaborative environments. This thesis provides a novel computational model of trust based on defeasible ... -
Trust evaluation for the grid
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2007)This thesis presents models and techniques for automatic evaluation of trust in certification authorities for grid computing infrastructures. The desire for automatic trust evaluation arose out of the need to assess the ... -
A Trust-Based Reputation Management System
(Trinty College Dublin. School of Computer Science and Statistics. Computer Science, 2008-11-10)Since its inception in the early 1990s, e-commerce in consumer-to-consumer (C2C) markets has achieved great success, with significant projected growth. For example, the Internet auction provider, eBay, has established ... -
Unified pattern recognition and its application to handwriting recognition
(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 ... -
Unintrusive, engaging, simple semantic mapping over time
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2012) -
Unstructured decentralised data distribution in wireless sensor networks
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2012)Next generation Wireless Sensor Networks will operate as self-regulated ad hoc networks of tiny devices that sense, actuate and coniinunicate in a collaborative fashion. These networks will also be required to operate in ... -
Using semantic mappings for semantic based publish/subscribe systems
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2009)Routing of information within heterogeneous, distributed network domains (e.g. communication networks, ubiquitous computing environments) is a key challenge that must be tackled for such environments to be successful. ... -
Using stigmergy to build pervasive computing environments
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science and Statistics. Computer ScienceDublin, 2005)Pervasive computing looks beyond the age of the personal computer to a time when everyday devices will be embedded with technology and connectivity. The goal of pervasive computing is to make such devices available throughout ... -
Using trust for environment adaptive model-based energy saving algorithm for wireless sensor networks
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2015)Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are used in environmental monitoring applications to obtain fine-grained spatial and temporal information concerning environmental phenomena. This requires continuous sensing and communication ... -
Using visualisation to support Reflective Community Design
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2013)Online communities have developed as a mainstay of contemporary internet culture. Their application has enabled the creation of media and software artefacts and resulted in new systems of economic and cultural production. ... -
Vectorization for accelerated gather/scatter and multibyte data formats
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2016)SIMD extensions to the instruction sets of general purpose processors have become widespread, and SIMD width and the capabilities provided by the hardware are steadily increasing with newer processor generations. This ... -
Virtual machine showdown: stack versus registers
(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 ... -
Vision-based hand washing gesture recognition
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2013)Vision-based human gesture recognition has been studied for many years, however hand washing gesture recognition suprisingly remains untouched in the research. Strictly applying correct hand washing techniques is one of ... -
Visualisation and simulation of myocardial infarctions from 12-lead ECG
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2006)Myocardial Infarction (Ml) is one of the main causes of death throughout the world. More commonly known as heart attack, it is caused by the occlusion of one or more of the arteries that supply the heart. Cardiac enzymes ... -
Visualising small world graphs using agglomerative clustering around nodes of interest
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2013)The difficulty of visualising large graphs lies not just in processing power and display size but in the inherent visual complexity of a large data-set, as the noise and clutter from large numbers of nodes and an order of ...
