A Logic Based Implementation of Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar
(Elsevier, 1991)Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG), a unification-based formal language for describing linguistic phenomena, has a declarative semantics which makes it amenable to specification as a logic program. The HPSG ... -
Towards generic support for distributed information systems
(IEEE, 1991)We are concerned with providing support for a range of object oriented programming langauges to be used in multi-user, multi-machine, heterogeneous environments requiring associative access, as well as concurrency and ... -
Supporting object oriented languages on the Comandos platform
(Commission of the European, 1991)The Comandos project 3 is designing and implementing a platform to support distributed persistent applications. In particular the platform supports the object oriented style of programming. An essential requirement of the ... -
On object orientation as a paradigm for general purpose distributed operating systems.
(ACM/IRISA/INRIA, 1992)In the Amadeus project we have been considering the construction of a general purpose distributed support environment for object oriented programming. In this paper we tackle a number of key areas whose interaction must ... -
Implementing atomic objects with the RelaX transaction facility.
(1992)RelaX offers an extensible transaction facility which isolates distributed (thus complex) transaction processing. A distributed system providing basic support for local recovery may easily be enhanced with flexible transaction ... -
C** Programmers' Guide
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1992-02)The C** extensions to C++ for distributed and persistent programming in C++ are described. -
Amadeus Installation and Maintainence Guide
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1992-02)The installation and maintainence of an Amadeus system is described. -
Overview of the Amadeus Project
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1992-02)An introduction to the Amadeus v1.0 environment for distributed and persistent programming in C++ is described. -
Advanced Image Understanding and Autonomous Systems
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1992-03)The ultimate goal of most image understanding systems is to produce an unambiguous 3-D representation of the local visual environment. This representation can then be employed by robotic systems to effect some meaningful ... -
Limitations of Scientific Ontology
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1992-04)Artificial life is a new multi-disciplinary science which is emerging from established practices in artificial intelligence, computational biology, and cybernetics. It is argued in this paper that conventional scientific ... -
Conceptual Scoffolding: A Spatially-founded Meaning Representation for Metaphor Comprehension
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1992-04)Once viewed as a rhetorical and superficial language phenomenon, metaphor is now recognized to serve a fundamental role in our conceptual structuring and language comprehension processes. In particular, it is argued that ... -
An Object-Oriented Approach for Replication Management
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1992-04-22) -
Automatic Detection of Secondary Creases in Fingerprints
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1992-09)Human fingerprints comprise a series of whorls or ridges. In some special cases, these whorls are broken by so-called 'secondary creases': co-linear breaks across a sequence of adjacent ridges. A technique to automatically ... -
Retrieval Issues in Real-World CBR Applications How far can we go with discrimination-nets?
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1992-10)In this paper we present a proposition and ponder a question. We propose that a useful perspective on analogical reasoning and CBR is to consider them on a continuum of abstraction of remindings. This is an alternative ... -
EuroBridge methodology for telecommunications service specification
(IEEE, 1993)In designing and specifying a system that will be used to provide telecommunications services to a user population, it is important to identify all major actors involved, and their individual concerns at an early ... -
Architecture for Integrated Telecommunication Management Platforms
(1993)Telecommunication management network (TMN) systems represent diverse telecommunication domains with wideranging functionality which frequently employ different technologies and produce isolated solutions. Yet ... -
Sharing objects in a distributed system.
(IEEE Computer Society Press, 1993)This paper presents a design for the use of DSM techniques and system-supported synchronisation to support shared access to persistent objects in a distributed environment. We adopt a hybrid approach where the system ...
