Sample identification and tracking in biobanks
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2010)Biobanks or bio-repositories facilitate the storage and maintenance of biological samples and data to support discovery of biomarkers, therapeutic targets, and the underlying causes of diseases. Such discoveries require ... -
Scalability Issues in Cluster Web Servers
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2002-09)In this dissertation a Web cluster architecture is designed, implemented and evaluated. We believe that the use of COTS hardware and integrated front end and back end software better scalability and flexibility can be ... -
Self-organizing topology adaptation in peer-to-peer networks
(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, ... -
A Semantic framework for deterministic functional input/output
(University of Dublin, Trinity College. School of Computer Science and Statistics, 2006-03)This dissertation presents a pure functional language called Curio. This language is unusual in possessing a rigorous yet general semantics for I/O which permits both formal proofs and a fine-tuned approach to concurrency. ... -
Semantic-based service analysis and optimization
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2013)The need to autonomically optimize end user service experience in near real time has been identified in the literature in recent years. Service management systems that monitor end user service session context are deployed ... -
Semantic-oriented cross-lingual ontology mapping
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2011)Ontologies support knowledge discovery, sharing and reuse among people and enable semantic interoperability between computer-based systems. To establish correspondences between knowledge concepts represented in ontologies, ... -
SIBLINGS A Server Framework for the Platform-Adaptive Delivery of Site Content
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2000-09)The increasing use of devices such as connected palmtops and internet appliances has led to a need for web site designers to accommodate a wider range of client platforms and capabilities. Several approaches for transparently ... -
Simulation Frameworks for the Teaching and Learning of Distributed Algorithms
(University of Dublin, Trinity College. Department of Computer Science, 2006-02)Teaching and learning about distributed algorithms is difficult. This is because distributed algorithms are made up of multiple independent elements, each with their own state and control, who interact through the exchange ... -
Situation-based testing for ubiquitous computing systems
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2011)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 ... -
Slicepedia open corpus slicing for Adaptive Web Systems
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)The growing demand for user experiences on the web addressing individual needs, is driving the mainstream adoption of personalisation technologies across broad fields of interests. Adaptive Web Systems (AWSs) have traditionally ... -
Smart Radio: Building Community-Based Internet Music Radio
(University of Dublin, Trinity College. Department of Computer Science, 2003-10)The success of file-sharing networks demonstrates that there is a huge potential market for digital music services, if the music industry can find a service model that is attractive to listeners. The concept of digital ... -
SOAP in a mobile Environment
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2004-09)Recent years has seen a dramatic rise in the number of mobile devices in use. These devices include PDAs, mobile phones and embedded devices such as those found in cars for satellite tracking. As the use of these devices ... -
Sobriquet : a personal naming and identity management system
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2012)The Internet in its current form lacks an adequate identity infrastructure. Every rel- evant application must provide its own solution to the problem of authenticating and naming people. Many of these applications share ... -
Social grid agents
(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 ... -
Social profiles for dynamically configurable agents in large scale cloud, grid, and heterogeneous infrastructures
(Trinity College Dublin, 2014)A vast amount of computing resources are available throughout the world today. These are distributed worldwide, and are heterogeneous in platform, origins, motivations, ownership and control. Many large computational ... -
SourceWeave.Net: Cross Language Source Code Weaving
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2003-09)A well modularised software system reduces complexity and supports change. Separating concerns as a means of achieving good modularisation, is therefore one of the primary principles in software engineering. In general, ... -
Space & time efficient sparse matrix transpose
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2015)Matrix operations are fundamental to linear algebra and have many important applications in areas such as sinmlation of physical systems, economic modeling, linear optimization and numerical analysis. One of the fundamental ...
