Time adaptive dynamic simulation of rigid bodies
(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 ... -
Time Bounded Medium Access Control for ad hoc networks
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2004)The widespread adoption and deployment of wireless local area networking and in particular wireless ad hoc networking poses a number of challenging problems for distributed real-time applications use this wireless technology ... -
Time-adaptive dynamic software reconfiguration for embedded software
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2010)Reactive embedded systems, such as sensor nodes, or real-time control systems, are embedded into and interact with a physical environment for controlling and measuring purposes. When deployed in environments with changing ... -
Towards a formal method for distributed object-oriented systems
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2004)We present two components of a special purpose formal method intended to support the modelling and development of distributed object-oriented systems. The first component is a language, called Oompa, in which designs for ... -
Towards automatic and dynamic meta-object protocol composition in a compiled, reflective programming language
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2005)This thesis describes a reflective programming model that provides a solution to the problem of automatic and dynamic metaobject composition in a compiled reflective prograrnming language, Iguana/C++. Meta-object protocols ... -
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

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. ...
