Presentation / Conference Contribution
Trulock, V., & Hetherington, R. (2008, June). Assessing the progress of implementing web accessibility - An Irish Case Study. Presented at Tenth International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems

In this paper we attempt to gauge the implementation of web accessibility guidelines in a range of Irish websites by undertaking a follow-up study in 2005 to one conducted by McMullin three years earlier (McMullin, 2002). Automatic testing against ve... Read More about Assessing the progress of implementing web accessibility - An Irish Case Study.

Efficient resource discovery in self-organized unstructured peer-to-peer networks (2008)
Journal Article
Liu, L., Antonopoulos, N., Mackin, S., Xu, J., & Russell, D. (2009). Efficient resource discovery in self-organized unstructured peer-to-peer networks. Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, 21(2), 159-183. https://doi.org/10.1002/cpe.1329

In unstructured peer‐to‐peer (P2P) networks, two autonomous peer nodes can be connected if users in those nodes are interested in each other's data. Owing to the similarity between P2P networks and social networks, where peer nodes can be regarded as...

Ad-hoc routing metrics and applied weighting for QoS support (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Migas, N., & Buchanan, W. J. (2008, April). Ad-hoc routing metrics and applied weighting for QoS support. Presented at IEEE International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing, 2008. IPDPS 2008

In the vast majority of ad-hoc routing protocols, the hop-counting mechanisms for identifying the optimal route are dominant. However, this approach oversimplifies such a complex decision by ignoring the fact that participating devices may have consi...

The impact of routing schemes on group communication throughput in scalable networks. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Al-Dubai, A. (2008, April). The impact of routing schemes on group communication throughput in scalable networks. Presented at IEEE International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing, 2008. IPDPS 2008

Multicast communication has been a major avenue for many studies in interconnection networks. However, such a communication pattern has been studied under either limited operating conditions or within the context of deterministic routing algorithms....
