Context-informed semantic interoperation
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2010)A common trend in modern applications is the move towards more mobile, adaptive, customisable software. The evolution of software from static, invariant tools for narrow portions of a task to adaptive, open interaction ... -
Correlated Estimation Problems and the Ensemble Kalman Filter
The Kalman flter is a recursive algorithm that estimates the state of a linear dynamical system from a sequence of noisy sensor measurements. Due to its relative simplicity, numerical efficiency and optimality, the Kalman ... -
Correlation-based stereoscopic disparity estimation with high-performance commodity hardware
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2008)Stereoscopic depth reconstruction is the estimation of scene depth from at least two images of the scene taken at different viewpoints. The main computational problem is identification of matching pixels between the images. ... -
Cross-Site Personalisation
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)Web users are continuously confronted with vast amounts of information. This phenomenon is known as the information explosion and can lead to disorientation and decreased productivity as users attempt to navigate through ... -
Data and type optimizations in virtual machine interpreters
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2010)Virtual machines provide a portable platform for the execution of programming languages. They are popular amongst language designers as they simplify the task of developing a language and its features. Programmers benefit ... -
Database Sampling to Support the Development of Data-Intensive Applications
(University of Dublin, Trinity College. Department of Computer Science, 2000-10)A prototype database is a model of a database which exhibits the desired properties, in terms of its schema and/or data values, of an operational database. Database prototyping has been proposed as a technique to support ... -
The Decentralised Coordination of Self-Adaptive Components
(University of Dublin, Trinity College. Department of Computer Science, 2004-10)Distributed computing systems are moving towards increasingly autonomous operation and management, in which their interacting components can organise, regulate, repair and optimise themselves without human intervention. ... -
Decentralised detection of emergence in complex adaptive systems
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2016)Emergence is a hallmark of Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS), where non-deterministic interactions between agents can give rise to emergent behaviour or properties at the system level. The nature, timing and consequence of ... -
Decentralized optimization of fluctuating urban traffic using reinforcement learning
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2010) -
Design and implementation of an ahead-of-time compiler for PHP
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2010)In recent years the importance of dynamic scripting languages -such as PHP, Python, Ruby and Javascript - has grown as they are used for an increasing amounts of sortware development. Scripting languages provide high-level ... -
Designing telecommunication service management systems
(Trinity College Dublin.School of Computer Science and Statistics.COMPUTER SCIENCE, 2006)In today's telecommunication industry, the management of services is seen as a key enabler and differentiating factor in the flexible delivery of telecommunication solutions. Increased competition and globalisation of ... -
Designing visual decision support for sociotechnical enterprises
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2009)As automation becomes more pervasive in industry, human decision-makers are becoming increasingly dependent on sensor-data to monitor and interpret performance across largescale enterprises. At the same time an exponential ... -
Detecting gender bias in the coverage of politicians in Irish newspapers using automated text classification
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)This thesis presents an investigation of whether there is evidence of gender bias in the coverage of politicians in Irish newspapers. Text-analysis techniques including natural language processing and machine learning are ... -
Detecting restriction class correspondences in Linked Open Data
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)The Linked Open Data (LOD) project has made a broad range of knowledge available on the World Wide Web as open datasets, using a common format and linked in such a manner that it is a simple task to explore and integrate ... -
Discovery of autonomous semantic services in mobile ad hoc networks
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2007)Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are dynamic networks in which mobile devices with wireless connnunication capabilities cooperate to provide spontaneous connectivity. In particular, a mobile ad hoc network can be considered ... -
Discovery of delay-tolerant networking endpoint elements
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2013)In this thesis, we study discovery problems in heterogeneous networks. Internet applications generally involve contemporaneous low-latency connectivity oriented around hosts and addresses. The discovery standards, protocols ... -
Distinguishability and Web traffic timing analysis
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2017)Privacy of data transmitted over public networks has attracted much attention over recent years. Studies show that attacks based on traffic analysis enable malicious users to extract useful information about communications ... -
Distributed optimal routing in wireless ad hoc networks
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2012)In this thesis, optimal routing problems in wireless ad hoc networks are investigated. The majority of existing routing algorithms follow a selfish strategy, where routing decisions are based on individual communication ... -
Distributed shared memory architectures and global performance state estimation
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2006)Invasive and non-invasive methods may be applied to measure and analyse the performance of hardware Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) systems. This thesis presents novel solutions for both methods and discusses the ... -
Domain-aware user model interoperability
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2013)Exchanging user information between multiple sources can potentially bring many benefits that enhance the user experience in software applications. Richer and more dynamic user models can be constructed allowing more ...
