Application of business process re-engineering and information technology to the re-design of personal social services
Lyons, Gerard J.; Kearns, Fergal (1997) -
The Automatic Morphological Description and Classification of Archaeological Monuments from Vertical Aerial Photographs.
Redfern, Sam; Lyons, Gerard J.; Redfern, R. M. (OESI/IMVIP, 1998)For most of this century, aerial photography has been an important technique for the discovery, recording and analysis of archaeological sites. For many regions there are vast archives of aerial photographs available; ... -
Autonomous hvac control, a reinforcement learning approach
Barrett, Enda; Linder, Stephen (Springer Verlag, 2015-08-29)Abstract—Recent high profile developments of autonomous learning thermostats by companies such as Nest Labs and Honeywell have brought to the fore the possibility of ever greater numbers of intelligent devices permeating ... -
Business Modelling to Support the Development of Integrated Process Support Systems in the Extended Enterprise
Lyons, Gerard J.; Dunican, Enda (1999)Recent years have witnessed rapid advances in the areas of Business Process Reengineering(BPR) and Software Engineering. In order for BPR to work, successful deployment of Information Technology is imperative, with the ... -
Co-evolutionary analysis: a policy exploration method for system dynamics models
Hongliang, Liu; Howley, Enda; Duggan, Jim (System Dynamics Society / Wiley, 2012-10-22)In system dynamics (SD), complex nonlinear systems can generate a wide range of possible behaviours that frequently require search and optimization algorithms in order to explore optimal policies. Within the SD literature, ... -
Collaborative Virtual Environments to Support Communication and Community in Internet-Based Distance Education
Redfern, Sam; Naughton, Niall (jite.org, 2002)In this paper we discuss the use of modern information and communication technologies for distance education (DE) purposes. We argue that current technologies and implementations do not adequately support the key concepts ... -
Digital elevation modelling of individual monuments from aerial photographs
Redfern, Sam; Lyons, Gerard J. (John Wiley & Sons, 1999)Digital elevation models (DEM) are crucial data products for a variety of geographic applications, and their generation directly from digitized stereopairs of vertical aerial photographs has recently been accomplished. ... -
Economic analysis of short-rotation forests for energy in Ireland
Lyons, Gerard J.; Vasievich, J. Michael (North-Holland Pubs., Amsterdam, 1986) -
Emotion Tracking for Remote Conferencing Applications using Neural Networks.
Paul Smith and Sam Redfern; Smith, Paul; Redfern, Sam (The 21st National Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science, 2010-08-31)In face-to-face work, discussion and negotiation relies strongly on non-verbal feedback, which provides important clues to negotiation states such as agreement/disagreement and understanding/confusion, as well as indicating ... -
Evolving Racetrack Knowledge in a Racing Game.
Redfern, Sam (21st National Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science, 2010-07-30)This paper discusses the use of a Genetic Algorithm (GA) to evolve waypoint-based racing lines for computer-controlled cars in an online game. One goal is the reduction of developer effort, in order to automatically produce ... -
A Framework for Digital Wide-Area Survey from Aerial Photographs
Redfern, Sam (Wordwell Ltd., 1998)Despite the potential offered by modern computer technology to the labour-intensive work of 'Aerial Archaeology', few applications have been published. Where developments have been made, they have tended to be carried out ... -
Fuel properties of short-rotation hardwood coppice sprouts
Lyons, Gerard J. (1986) -
Fuel properties of short-rotation hardwood coppice sprouts: Communication
Lyons, Gerard J. (1988) -
A groupware system for virtual product innovation management
Cormican, Kathryn; O'Sullivan, David (Wiley, 2007-10-11)We are experiencing a radical shift in the way organizations are designed, structured, and organized. New organizational forms such as virtual strategic partnerships and networks are replacing traditional bureaucratic, ... -
The influence of random interactions and decision heuristics on norm evolution in social networks
Mungovan, Declan; Howley, Enda; Duggan, Jim (Springer, 2011-05)In this paper we explore the effect that random social interactions have on the emergence and evolution of social norms in a simulated population of agents. In our model agents observe the behaviour of others and update ... -
A learning architecture for scheduling workflow applications in the cloud
Barrett, Enda; Howley, Enda; Duggan, Jim (IEEE, 2011-09-15)The scheduling of workflow applications involves the mapping of individual workflow tasks to computational resources, based on a range of functional and non-functional quality of service requirements. Workflow applications ... -
Observations on the shortest independent loop set algorithm
Huang, Jinjing; Howley, Enda; Duggan, Jim (System Dynamics Society / Wiley, 2012-07-31)The shortest independent loop set (SILS) algorithm is a widely adopted loop selection method in eigenvalue elasticity analysis to identify dominant loops. However, we find that, in an individual-based model, the SILS cannot ... -
Organizational context and the IS implementation process: an integrated research framework
Lyons, Gerard J.; Geraghty, Tom (2000)Good IS managers have an intuitive grasp of the complex organizational and project dynamics required for successful implementation of large information systems. Years of hard-earned experience have taught them that IS ... -
Particle swarm optimisation with gradually increasing directed neighbourhoods
Liu, Hongliang; Howley, Enda; Duggan, Jim (Association for Computing Machiner, 2011)Particle swarm optimisation (PSO) is an intelligent random search algorithm, and the key to success is to effectively balance between the exploration of the solution space in the early stages and the exploitation of the ... -
Player-Traced Empirical Cost-Surfaces for A* Pathfinding
Redfern, Sam (Eurosis, 2011)This paper discusses the use of empirical cost-surfaces derived from substantial amounts of player-traced movements in an online vehicular combat game, for the purposes of improving A* pathfinding by AI vehicles. The ...
