Information management in intelligent environments
… a system for handling information in complex computational environments. The system addresses the needs for context dependent information handling and display in an intelligent environment. The system is used as part of the Metaglue development environment to drive the information display in …

An evaluation of the impact of computational interventions (Scratch) on the learning of ESOL students
… study research that investigated the impact of a computational and constructionist intervention on young adult ESOL literacy learners in a Sixth Form College in London. The research represents an interdisciplinary project that signifies a synergy between constructionist learning theory and the …

Resource sharing platform architecture for an information product factory
… of a collaborative effort often span different computational environments and the heterogeneity of contexts disrupts software interoperability. Sharing computational resources has become the focus of many research efforts. Efforts in the 1980s led to the Component Object Model (COM) [Williams, …

Real-time programming and the big ideas of computational literacy
… process of design, prototyping and testing of computational environments has led to two design innovations: a language in which declarative and procedural descriptions of computation are given equal status, and can subsume each other to arbitrary levels of nesting [and] a "live text" …

On the Resource Efficiency of Language Models
… restrict deployment across diverse computing environments. I tackle this through two approaches: improving knowledge distillation for more efficient models, and optimizing inference-time memory usage. PTLoss, a perturbation-based distillation framework, enhances student model generalization by …

High Performance Computing Issues in Large-Scale Molecular Statics Simulations
Successful application of parallel high performance computing to practical problems requires overcoming several challenges. These range from the need to make sequential and parallel improvements in programs to the implementation of software tools which create an environment that aids sharing of …

Estudio de métodos tipo secante: convergencia, estabilidad y accesibilidad
… the convergence speed without increasing the computational cost. Through a rigorous theoretical analysis, the local convergence of the proposed methods is studied, establishing conditions under which the iterative scheme reaches a quadratic order of convergence. In addition, the dynamic …

The Tessera D&R computational environment: Designed experiments for R-Hadoop performance and Bitcoin analysis
… of the analytic method for the entire data. The computational tasking of D&R is nearly embarrassingly parallel, so D&R can readily exploit distributed, parallel computational environments, such as our D&R computational environment, Tessera.^ In the first part of this dissertation, I present a …

Accelerating Bayesian inference in computationally expensive computer models using local and global approximations
Computational models of complex phenomena are an important resource for scientists and engineers. However, many state-of-the-art simulations of physical systems are computationally expensive to evaluate and are black box-meaning that they can be run, but their internal workings cannot be inspected …

Scalable Autonomous Network Control using Minimally Informed Agents
… packet delivery speed is observable in computational environments - and supply chain financing (SCF) - studied since value for units is controllable. Measuring risk via criticality and viability, this thesis works around the challenge of managing a system without centralised observers, …
