Feature Extraction for Spam Classification
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2004-09)E-mail has emerged as one of the primary means of communication used in the world today. Its rapid adoption has left it ripe for misuse and abuse. This came in the guise of Unsolicited Commercial E-mail (UCE) or as it is ... -
The Federated Event Service
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2003-09)Event services provide asynchronous, decoupled, anonymous message-based communication. This facilitates scalable distributed systems composed of autonomous concurrently executing entities. There are several kinds of event ... -
Fibrations of predicates and bicategories of relations
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)We reconcile the two different category-theoretic semantics of regular theories in predicate logic. A 2-category of regular fibrations is constructed, as well as a 2-category of regular proarrow equipments, and ... -
Finance Art: On the Secret Life of Global Finance
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Discipline of Computer Science, 2022)While the impact of global finance and financialization can be seen everywhere, those machines themselves might appear abstract, complex, and difficult to grasp. Their connections with everyday life have become invisible ... -
A flexible service-level accounting architecture for telecommunications
(University of Dublin, Trinity College. Department of Computer Science, 2000-10)The opening up of telecommunications markets has forced a differentiation between service and basic connectivity provision; many providers have accepted that new services will become their main source of income in the ... -
A Flexible, Scalable, Distributed, Fault Tolerant Architecture for the Collection and Dissemination of Multimodal Traffic-Related Information
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2003-09)Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) produce considerable quantities of dynamic data. ITS endusers will require wide, rich and highly available services which will involve processing and disseminating large amount ... -
Formal polytypic programs and proofs
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2010)Polytypic or datatype-generic programming is a form of generic programming where we abstract over the shape of datatypes: we define functions by induction over the structure of datatypes. In this thesis we show how to ... -
Formalising a real-time coordination model
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2015)The subject of this thesis pertains to coordination in systems of entities characterised by mobile, real-time behaviour and unreliable communication over a wireless network. Such systems are now being deployed both in ... -
FPGA message passing cluster architectures
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2010)This work investigates inter-Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) communication mechanisms, specifically the use of message passing and switched Ethernet communication mechanisms. Inter-FPGA communication is required in ... -
A Framework for Academic Electronic Journal Publications
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2003-09)Academic journals are the backbone of scholarly communication and the preservation of knowledge. For years they have served as a record of progression and an archive of academic debate. They are the medium through which ... -
A Framework for Building Customised CORBA ORBs
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 1998-09)Recently, many distributed applications have been based on Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) compliant middleware. Such distributed computing middleware provides the components of a distributed application ... -
A Framework Providing Fault Tolerance Using the CORBA Trading Service.
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 1998-09)This thesis describes a body of research into the fault tolerance problem associated with the use of large scale distributed systems and a partial solution to the problem. Fault tolerance problems arise in such an ... -
A Framework to Support and Evaluate the Participation of Children with Autism in the Design of Technology
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Discipline of Computer Science, 2020)As the availability of technology developed for children with autism has increased, an awareness of the benefits of designing technology with them has also improved. However, the intellectual, communication and social ... -
Generating sentiment lexica : evaluating approaches with genetic algorithms and particle swarm optimization
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)This thesis examines the application of sentiment analysis towards financial news. The primary goal within the field of sentiment analysis is to develop a methodology by which the sentiment or emotional view being expressed ... -
A Generic Architecture to Control Jini Services over the Internet
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2001-09)Distributed computer systems have brought many advantages over traditional centralised systems. However these systems have innate complications such as partial failure, lack of system wide knowledge, concurrency etc. ... -
Genetic Programming Bias with Software Performance Analysis
The complexities of modern software systems make their engineering costly and time consuming. This thesis explores and develops techniques to improve software by automating re-design. Source code can be randomly modified ...
