    • Optimising the usage of cloud resources for execution bag-of-tasks applications 

      Thai, Long Thanh (University of St Andrews, 2017) - Thesis
      Cloud computing has been widely adopted by many organisations, due to its flexibility in resource provisioning and on-demand pricing models. Entire clusters of machines can now be dynamically provisioned to meet the ...

    • Fidelity perception of 3D models on the web 

      Bakri, Hussein; Miller, Alan Henry David; Oliver, Iain Angus (Springer, 2018) - Conference item
      Cultural heritage artefacts act as a gateway helping people learn about their social traditions and history. However, preserving these artefacts faces many difficulties, including potential destruction or damage from global ...

    • Using metric space indexing for complete and efficient record linkage 

      Akgün, Özgür; Dearle, Alan; Kirby, Graham Njal Cameron; Christen, Peter (Springer, 2018) - Conference item
      Record linkage is the process of identifying records that refer to the same real-world entities in situations where entity identifiers are unavailable. Records are linked on the basis of similarity between common attributes, ...

    • Deriving distributed garbage collectors from distributed termination algorithms 

      Norcross, Stuart John (University of St Andrews, 2004) - Thesis
      This thesis concentrates on the derivation of a modularised version of the DMOS distributed garbage collection algorithm and the implementation of this algorithm in a distributed computational environment. DMOS appears to ...

    • Using subgoal chaining to address the local minimum problem 

      Lewis, Jonathan Peter (University of St Andrews, 2002) - Thesis
      A common problem in the area of non-linear function optimisation is that of not being able to guarantee finding the global optimum of the function in a feasible time especially when local optima exist. This problem applies ...
