  • Modelling care pathways in a connected health setting 
    O'Leary, Pádraig; Buckley, Patrick; Richardson, Ita (Springer, 2013)
    Connected Health involves the use of ICT to improve healthcare quality and outcomes. In a connected heath environment, stakeholders can struggle to make best use of this information coming from a variety of sources. Given ...
  • Modelling service-oriented architectures of mobile applications by extending saoml with ambients 
    Ali, Nour; Ali Babar, Muhammad (IEEE Computer Society, 2009)
    Mobile applications need to dynamically adapt to requirements of new environments (or locations) as users and their devices continuously move. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a recent approach for designing and ...
  • Modelling the information-seeking behaviour of programmers – an emperical approach 
    O'Brien, Michael P.; Buckley, Jim (IEEE Computer Society, 2005)
    Information seeking has been recognised as a core subtask in software maintenance. This paper reviews, merges, and adapts existing information seeking models for different domains to propose a non-linear information-seeking ...
  • Modularization constructs in method engineering: towards common ground? 
    Agerfalk, Par J.; Brinkkemper, Sjaak; Henderson-Sellers, Brian; Karlsson, Fredrik; Kelly, Steven; Ralyte, Jolita (Springer, 2007)
    Although the Method Engineering (ME) research community has reached considerable maturity, it has not yet been able to agree on the granularity and definition of the configurable parts of methods. This state of affairs ...
  • Monetize this? Marketized-commons platforms, new opportunities and challenges for collective action 
    Wilkins, Denise; Nuseibeh, Bashar; Levine, Mark (Springer, 2019)
    In this paper we argue that recent developments in peer-to-peer platforms, including those underpinned by distributed-ledger technology (or blockchains), represent a new model for organizing collective action, which we ...
  • Monitoring fuzzy temporal requirements for service compositions: motivations, challenges and experimental results 
    Pasquale, Liliana; Spoletini, Paola (IEEE Computer Society, 2011)
    Service compositions are an important family of self-adaptive systems, which need to cope with the variability of the environment (e.g., heterogeneous devices, changing context), and react to unexpected events (e.g., ...
  • Motivators of software process improvement: an analysis of Vietnamese practitioners’ views 
    Niazi, Mahmood; Ali Babar, Muhammad (2007)
    OBJECTIVE – In this paper we present findings from an empirical study that was aimed at determining the software process improvement (SPI) motivators. The main objective of this study is to provide SPI practitioners with ...
  • Multi-agent systems – Theory, approaches and NASA applications 
    Hinchey, Mike; Vassev, Emil (IOS Press, 2012)
    This chapter introduces the multi-agent paradigm and presents concepts and approaches related to multi-agent systems and paradigm-inspired popular research topics such as grid computing, intelligent swarms, sensor ...
  • Multi-grounded action research in method engineering: the MMC case 
    Karlsson, Fredrik; Agerfalk, Par J. (2007)
    There appears to be two schools of information systems development methods research that largely pursue their own agendas without many cross-references, On the one hand there is the method engineering research and on ...
  • A multi-layer approach for customizing business services 
    Taher, Yehia; Haque, Rafiqul; Parkin, Michael; Richardson, Ita; Whelan, Eoin; Van den Heuvel, Willem-Jan (Springer-Verlag, 2011)
    The reusability of services is a cornerstone of the Service-Oriented Architecture design paradigm as it leads to a reduction in the costs associated with software development, integration and maintenance. However, reusability ...
  • Multi-metaphor method: organizational metaphors in information systems development. 
    Oates, Briony June; Fitzgerald, Brian (Blackwell Publishing Limited, 2007)
    Conventional methods have been criticized for their positivist philosophy and for either ignoring the organizational context of information systems development (ISD) or using only a simplistic, machine-based conceptual ...
  • Multilayer superimposed information for collaborative annotation in wikis 
    Solis, Carlos; Canos, Jose H.; Borges, Marcos R.S. (Springer-Verlag, 2010)
    Collaborative writing and editing typically use annotations to coordinate edition tasks, comment the content, add relevant references, or clarify confusing content. Despite that wikis are among the most widely used hypertext ...
  • The mysteries of open source software: black and white and red all over*? 
    Fitzgerald, Brian; Agerfalk, Par J. (IEEE Computer Society, 2005)
    Open Source Software (OSS) has attracted enormous media and research attention since the term was coined in February 1998. The concept itself is founded on the paradoxical premise that software source code—the ‘crown ...
  • Negotiation towards service level agreements: a life cycle based approach 
    Hashmi, Sajid Ibrahim; Haque, Rafiqul; Schmieders, Eric; Richardson, Ita (IEEE Computer Society, 2011)
    Service Based Systems (SBSs) are composed of loosely coupled services. Different stakeholders in these systems, e.g. service providers, service consumers, and business decision makers, have different types of concerns which ...
  • The network and video latencies in marine remote-controlled applications 
    Kaknjo, Admir (University of Limerick, 2021)
    This thesis provides an overview of research work in the domains of marine sensing and underwater robotics. The main aim of the study is to investigate the challenges and requirements that are imposed on a communication ...
  • New branches, old roots: a study of methods and techniques in web/ hypermedia systems design. 
    Lang, Michael; Fitzgerald, Brian (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2006)
    Despite claims in the literature that "traditional" methods and techniques are inadequate and poorly matched to the demands of the Web design context, the findings from a field survey of Web/hypermedia systems designers ...
  • A new heuristic for SOA problem based on effective tie break function 
    Shokry, Hesham; El-Boghdadi, Hatem M.; Shaheen, Samir I. (Association for Computing Machinery, 2008)
    Producing efficient and compact code for embedded DSP processors is very important for nowadays faster and smaller size devices. Because such processors have highly irregular data-path, conventional code generation techniques ...
  • Novel heurisitic approaches to iterative graph drawing 
    Ghassemi Toosi, Farshad (University of Limerick, 2017)
    This thesis presents a new graph drawing approach (the concentric approach) for drawing any undirected graph without taking stress or forces into account, in order to address the trade-off between quality and running ...
  • A novel model for cloud computing analytics and measurement 
    Shams, Armin; Sharif, Hossein; Helfert, Markus (2021)
    A Cloud Computing system is a complex system. The existing metric systems are inadequate for providing a high-fidelity picture of what is going on in the complex cloud and do not facilitate all the assessments needed ...
