The concept of knowledge bases originated in artificial intelligence as one side of expert systems-namely, the fundamental body of knowledge available to a domain. KBs are particularly appropriate in knowledge-intensive ...
Up to now, most open source software (OSS) deployments have been in invisible infrastructure applications running on back-office servers (GNU/Linux, Apache, and so on). Beaumont Hospital in Ireland recently started developing ...
Professional Issues in Software Engineering (PISE) has been taught as part of the computer systems undergraduate degree programme at the University of Limerick using a multiinstitutional collaborative pedagogy. PISE considers ...

Purpose: The purpose of this research paper is to present a modified framework for the waves of change of new product development of McGrath. Design/methodology/approach: A qualitative study of new product development (NPD) ...
This paper presents a novel simulated model for a wireless data acquisition system. The system will read analogue information provided by two sensors and can be used for medical purposes. Real data has been obtained and a ...
The aim of this study is to model and design an efficient wireless system that should be easy to integrate with other technologies or infrastructures at a low cost. The system is reading analog information recorded by a ...
The 2-step negative resist image by dry etching
(2-step NERIME) focused ion beam (FIB) top surface imaging (TSI) process has been previously reported
as an excellent technique for patterning nanometer

An optical delay interferometer (ODI) is employed to suppress the pattern effect manifested on a 10 Gb/s return-to-zero (RZ) data stream when amplified by a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) operated
in deep gain ...
