Transaction re-engineering using scanning technology
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2005)The project arose out o f a need to update and improve the overall efficiency o f a small/medium sized manufacturing and distribution company. The re-engineered system streamlines the process o f ordering, production ... -
Securing network communications : with a practical example of a firewall written in C++
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2006)The statistics that are quoted about user interactions with the Internet are hard to comprehend, a technology that didn’t exist m any real commercial way less than 20 years ago is now probably the singularly most dominant ... -
Scheduling and optimising XML pipeline processing
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2004)This thesis describes PropelXbi - an implementation of the XPipe paradigm - then investigates and critically assesses relevant techniques which have the potential for streamlining PropelXbi’s performance and, finally, ... -
An investigation of the use of vision systems for the robotic control of automated vehicles
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2007)Humans’ usage of the motor vehicle for transport and freight is ever increasing. It seems that the risks and level of accident rates associated with these traffic systems can only be lessened by increasingly complex systems, ... -
An investigation into environmental sustainability in third level colleges in Ireland
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2011)The global drive toward sustainability is well under way. Academic institutions have an important role to play in this shift towards sustainability. Third level educational establishments, as part o f the wider public ... -
An investigation into the commercialisation of final year projects within Creative Design courses
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2014)The aim of this study is to identify and investigate the barriers to commercialisation of Final Year Projects within Creative Design courses. The term Creative Design refers to Creative Design, Product Design and Industrial ... -
Measuring and modelling of field reliability for an electronic product
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2006-09)Traditionally field reliability has been measured and predicted by the use of manufacturing data. One of the great challenges that manufacturers of electronic products face is trying to measure accurately how a product ... -
Design and validation of a device to measure the cutting edge profile of osteotomes
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2005)The cutting capacity of a cutting instrument is normally defined as its sharpness, which defines the ability of the cutting edge to cut the target material. Many factors therefore affect the ability of a blade to cut, ... -
The design and validation of a multi-layer model of human skin
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2007-04)Human skin is a complex multi-layered material consisting of the epidermis, dermis and underlying hypodermis. For several decades, much effort has gone into the development of mathematical and computer models of skin. A ... -
The application of intelligent software agents in network fault diagnosis
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2000-08)With the advent of existing and future networking, the task of network fault monitoring and in particular that of fault diagnosis is becoming quite complex. Agents can be used to help in this domain. A software agent is ... -
Tools and techniques to aid in the marking and categorisation of digital images
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2006-08)Image processing technology is used in everyday applications to do things such as correct red-eye in digital cameras, and to detect terrorists at airports. Recently it has become more widespread and ubiquitous in society. ... -
