Temporally consistent region based video segmentation
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)This thesis addresses the problem of segmenting a video sequence in a temporally consistent fashion, so that the labels assigned to particular region remain the same throughout the sequence. Energy minimisation, and in ... -
The accommodation of cognitive style in the design of human computer interface
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2006)How the design of the human computer interface could be varied to accommodate specific cognitive styles is addressed. The area of adaptive versus non-adaptive systems was discussed in Chapter 2. Generally non-adaptive ... -
The derived data approach to support the construction and consumption of explorable visual narratives
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2016)This thesis proposes a novel approach called the derived data approach that supports the construction and consumption of explorable visual narratives in Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL). Like many other domains, TEL ... -
The design of systems to engage adolescents in professional mental health services
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2009)Human Computer Interaction (HCI) studies the interaction between people and computers. User-centred design (UCD), design which places the user at the centre of the development process, has become the dominant focus within ... -
The development of a Community Informatics (CI) model to support Irish Local Voluntary Organisations (LVOs) use Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2013)The value of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) as a management facilitator that can help deliver efficiencies to both the public and private sector is well established. However, there are other parts of society ... -
The development of a stages of growth model for information systems within government departments
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)This dissertation proposes a stages of growth model for the use of information and communications technology/information systems in large government departments. The stages of growth model presented maps the changes through ... -
The mobiledna (digital narrative approach) : supporting collaborative creativity in mobile moving media production
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2009)Collaboration and creativity are beneficial for learning. While collaboration involves conflict, articulation and co-construction, creativity banks on the interplay between divergent and convergent thinking. Collaborative ... -
The MOUSE approach : mapping ontologies using UML for system engineers
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)To address the problem of semantic heterogeneity, there has been a large body of research directed toward the study of semantic mapping technologies. Although various semantic mapping technologies have been investigated, ... -
The multi-model, metadata driven approach to personalised eLearning services
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2005)One of the major obstacles in developing quality eLearning content is the substantial development costs involved and development time required [Marchionini, 95]. Educational providers, such as those in the university ... -
The OISIN framework : ontology interoperability in support of semantic interoperability
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2006)The promise of ontologies is in the sharing of an understanding of a domain that can be communicated between people and application systems (Fensel 2003). However, different ontologies arise due to the natural human ... -
The SMG DSM system: enabling shared memory for the grid
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2007)Parallel computing has taken the rst steps along its next evolutionary route: com- putational grids are now a reality. Success, however, depends not only on the tools available, but allowing ... -
The Taxy mobility system
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2006)Mobile agents are entities that have execution lifetimes that axe not confined to a single host. They have the ability to migrate between different hosts in order to execute locally thereby avoiding remote communication. ... -
The VAM Application : a new test of visual & audio working memory

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 ...
