A Database System for Supporting Taxonomic Work (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Raguenaud, C., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. J. (1999). A Database System for Supporting Taxonomic Work.

Taxonomists classify organisms in order to refer to, identify and understand them. Over time, the same organism may be classified according to different taxonomic opinions. As alternative classifications multiply, taxonomists are faced with the need... Read More about A Database System for Supporting Taxonomic Work.

The Teallach tool: Using models for flexible user interface design. (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barclay, P. J., Griffiths, T., McKirdy, J., Paton, N. W., Cooper, R., & Kennedy, J. (1999, October). The Teallach tool: Using models for flexible user interface design. Presented at 3rd International Conference on Computer-Aided Des

Model-based user interface development environments aim to provide designers with a more systematic approach to user interface development using a particular design method. This method is realised through tools which support the construction and link... Read More about The Teallach tool: Using models for flexible user interface design..

The challenge of visualising multiple overlapping classification. (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Graham, M., Kennedy, J., & Hand, C. (1999, September). The challenge of visualising multiple overlapping classification. Presented at IEEE User Interfaces to Data Intensive Systems (UIDIS) 1999

Techniques for visualising hierarchies have concentrated on displaying static structures or, in the case of dynamic hierarchies, adding or deleting nodes from the hierarchy. However, none have adequately dealt with the situation of visualising change... Read More about The challenge of visualising multiple overlapping classification..

Teallach: a model-based user interface development environment for object databases (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Griffiths, T., Barclay, P. J., McKirdy, J., Paton, N. W., Gray, P. D., Kennedy, J., Cooper, R., Goble, C. A., West, A., & Smyth, M. (1999, September). Teallach: a model-based user interface development environment for object databases. Presented at User Interfaces to Data Intensive Systems, 1999

Model-based user interface development environments show promise for improving the productivity of user interface developers, and possibly for improving the quality of developed interfaces. However, model-based techniques have rarely been applied to... Read More about Teallach: a model-based user interface development environment for object databases.

A multidatabase layer for the ODMG object model (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Roantree, M., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. J. (1998, September). A multidatabase layer for the ODMG object model. Presented at 5th International Conference on Object-Oriented Information Systems, 1998, Paris, France

The lack of a common object model has been addressed to some extent by the specification of the ODMG Object Model standard. However, the problem still exists for designers of object-oriented multidatabase systems. In this research we propose to use t... Read More about A multidatabase layer for the ODMG object model.

An open model-based interface development system: The Teallach approach. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Griffiths, T., McKirdy, J., Paton, N. W., Kennedy, J., Cooper, R., Barclay, P. J., Goble, C., Gray, P., Smyth, M., West, A., & Dinn, A. (1998, June). An open model-based interface development system: The Teallach approach. Presented at DSV-IS '98: 5th International Eurographics Workshop on Design, Specification and Verification of Interactive Systems

The goal of the Teallach project is to provide facilities for the systematic development of interfaces to object databases in a manner which is independent of both a specific underlying database and operating system. Teallach's open architecture als... Read More about An open model-based interface development system: The Teallach approach..

A lightweight presentation model for database user interfaces. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gray, P., Cooper, R., Kennedy, J., McKirdy, J., Barclay, P. J., & Griffiths, T. (1998). A lightweight presentation model for database user interfaces. In C. Stephanidis, & A. Waern (Eds.), 4th ERCIM Workshop on "User Interfaces for All"

The Teallach project is building a system which eases the design and implementation of user interfaces (web-based or otherwise) to object-oriented database applications. Teallach takes a model based approach and is constructing its system around th... Read More about A lightweight presentation model for database user interfaces..

Exploiting model based techniques for user interfaces to databases. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Griffiths, T., McKirdy, J., Forrester, G., Paton, N. W., Kennedy, J., Barclay, P. J., Cooper, R., Goble, C., & Gray, P. (1998, May). Exploiting model based techniques for user interfaces to databases. Presented at ADVANCED VISUAL INTERFACES, VISUAL DATABASE SYSTEMS. International Working Conference - VDB4, 1998

Model-based systems provide methods for supporting the systematic and efficient development of application interfaces. This paper examines how model-based technologies can be exploited to develop user interfaces to databases. To this end five mode...

Mechanisms for data interpretation of metrics for OO systems. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Li-Thiao-Te, P., Kennedy, J., & Owens, J. (1998, September). Mechanisms for data interpretation of metrics for OO systems. Presented at 24th International Conference on Technology of Object-Oriented Languages and Systems, TOOLS Asia \'97

A major criticism of metrics for object-oriented systems design has been their lack in generating meaningful feedback information. This paper proposes a data interpretation method based on visualisation of results obtained from the method redefi... Read More about Mechanisms for data interpretation of metrics for OO systems..

The perspective tunnel: An inside view on smoothly integrating detail and context. (1997)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mitchell, K., & Kennedy, J. (1997, April). The perspective tunnel: An inside view on smoothly integrating detail and context. Presented at Proc. of Eurographics Workshop on Visualisation in Scientific Computing

The perspective tunnel, a general kind of information visualisation artefact, embodies a visual form which exploits natural human visual perception. Perspective tunnels map information on to the floor, ceiling and walls of a tunnel, so that both ever...
