Harnessing ISO/IEC 12207 to examine the extent of SPI activity in an organisation

Clarke, Paul; O'Connor, Rory V. (2010)

The quality of the software development process directly affects the quality of the software product. To be successful, software development organisations must respond to changes in technology and business circumstances, ...
Having a foot on each shore – bridging global software development in the case of SMEs

Richardson, Ita; Avram, Gabriela; Deshpande, Sadhana; Casey, Valentine (IEEE Computer Society, 2008)

In a globalised world economy, small and mediumsized companies (SMEs) are now entering the global software engineering (GSE) arena, but their involvement is more often opportunistic than carefully planned. Considered until ...
Having fun with computer programming and games : teacher and student experiences

McInerney, Clare (Springer-Verlag, 2010)

There has been a decline in the number of students studying mathematics, science and computing at third-level in Ireland. This may be because Ireland does not have a computing curriculum. However, in the UK higher education ...
HCI design and interactive sonification for fingers and ears

Fernstrom, Mikael; Brazil, Eoin; Bannon, Liam (IEEE Computer Society, 2005)

We examine the use of auditory display for ubiquitous computing to extend the boundaries of human-computer interaction (HCI). Our design process is based on listening tests, gathering free-text identification responses ...
Healing landscape

McKenna, Sean (School of Architecture, University of Limerick, 2011)
Heavy metals in soil and vegetation at Shallee Mine, Silvermines, Co. Tipperary

Breen, John; Steinborn, Maria (The Royal Irish Academy, 1999)

Samples of soil, three higher plant species (Teucrium scorodonia, Primula vulgaris, and Succisa pratensis) and two moss species (Hylocomium splendens and Rhytidiadelphus loreus) were collected in 1995 from around some of ...
Height and weight bias: the influence of time

Shiely, Frances; Hayes, Kevin; Perry, Ivan J; Kelleher, Cecily C (Public Library of Science, 2012)

Background: We have previously identified in a study of both self-reported body mass index (BMI) and clinically measured BMI that the sensitivity score in the obese category has declined over a 10-year period. It is known ...
A Heterodyne Mach-Zehnder Interferometer, employing static and dynamic phase demodulation techniques for live-cell imaging

Shiju, Joseph; Gineste, Jean-Michel; Whelan, Maurice; Newport, David (Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2010)

This paper describes a temporal carrier based Heterodyne Interferometer and associated phase demodulation techniques which are suitable for phase imaging of live cells. A Mach-Zehnder Interferometer is integrated to the ...
Heterologous production and characterisation of cation diffusion facilitator proteins from the marine bacterium Maricaulis maris MCS10

Russell, David (University of Limerick, 2012)

Cation diffusion facilitators are a diverse family of transporters responsible for the efflux of zinc and other divalent metals from cells. Several putative members of this family were selected as potential targets for ...
Heuristics for the automatic identification of irregularities in spreadsheets

Clermont, Markus (IEEE Computer Society., 2005)

Spreadsheet programs turned out to be the most popular end-user programming environment that has ever been released. Important decisions are based on the results of spreadsheet programs and the list of known errors with ...
A Hidden Markov model based scheme for efficient and fast dissemination of safety messages in VANETs

Brahmi, Imane Horiya; Djahel, Soufiene; Ghamri-Doudane, Yacine (IEEE Computer Society, 2012)

Nowadays, Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) communication is attracting an increasing attention from car manufacturers due to its expected impact in improving driving safety and comfort. IEEE 802.11P is the primary channel access ...
A hierarchy of program transformers

Hamilton, Geoff W. (2012)

In this paper, we describe a hierarchy of program transformers in which the transformer at each level of the hierarchy builds on top of the transformers at lower levels. The program transformer at the bottom of the ...
A hierarchy of SPI activities for software SMEs: results from ISO/IEC 12207-based SPI assessments

Clarke, Paul; O'Connor, Rory V.; Yilmaz, Murat (Springer-Verlag, 2012)

In an assessment of software process improvement (SPI) in 15 software small- and –medium-sized enterprises (software SMEs), we applied the broad spectrum of software specific and system context processes in ISO/IEC 12207 ...
High current inductor design for MHz switching

Duffy, Meave; Collins, Christina; Rhen, Fernando M.F.; McCloskey, P.; Roy, Saibal (IEEE Computer Society, 2008)

High current inductor applications operating in the MHz range are generally limited to Voltage Regulator Modules (VRM’s) and Point of Load (POL) power supplies, where the issue of fast transient response demands reduced ...
High density germanium nanowire growth directly from copper foil by self induced solid seeding

Geaney, Hugh; Dickinson, Calum; Barrett, Christopher A.; Ryan, Kevin M. (American Chemical Society, 2011)

Herein, we describe the growth of highly dense germanium nanowire mats directly on copper foil by a self induced, solid seeded protocol. The existence of Cu3Ge tips on each of the nanowires indicates that growth proceeds ...
High frequency elastic wave inversion

Ryan, Niall C (University of Limerick, 2010)

This thesis is concerned with the problem of high frequency elastic wave inversion. This is the problem of determining sharp, localised changes in the properties of materials beneath the surface of the earth using only ...
How amendments to the medical device directive affect the development of medical device software

Mc Hugh, Martin; Mc Caffery, Fergal; Casey, Valentine (2011)

A recent revision to the European Medical Device Directive (MDD 2007/47/EC) made fourteen amendments to the original directive (93/42/EEC). A number of these changes directly affect the development of software for use in ...
How can software SMEs become medical device software SMEs

Mc Caffery, Fergal; Casey, Valentine; Mc Hugh, Martin (2011)

Today the amount of software content within medical devices has grown considerably and will continue to do so as the level of complexity of medical devices continues to increase. This is driven by the fact that software ...
How does agility ensure quality?

Huo, Ming; Verner, June; Ali Babar, Muhammad; Zhu, Liming (2004)

Software quality is one of our most important software concerns. Agile methods may produce software faster but we also need to know how they meet our quality requirements. In this paper we compare the waterfall model ...
How perceptions of open source software influecne adoption: an exploratory study.

Morgan, Lorraine; Finnegan, Patrick (2007)

Much of the assessment of OSS benefits and drawbacks has been based on anecdotal evidence appearing in practitioner publications. Due to its focus on software development, such work neglects whether managerial perceptions ...
