Two solutions to the general timetable problem using evolutionary algorithms. (1994)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Paechter, B., Luchian, H., Cumming, A., & Petriuc, M. (1994, June). Two solutions to the general timetable problem using evolutionary algorithms. Presented at First IEEE Conference on Evolutionary Computation, 1994 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence

The general timetable problem, which involves the placing
of events requiring limited resources into timeslots,
has been approached in many different ways. This paper
describes two approaches to solving the problem using
evolutionary algorithms.... Read More about Two solutions to the general timetable problem using evolutionary algorithms..

Optimising a Presentation Timetable Using Evolutionary Algorithms (1994)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Paechter, B. (1994, April). Optimising a Presentation Timetable Using Evolutionary Algorithms. Presented at AISB EC: AISB Workshop on Evolutionary Computing, Leeds

This paper describes a solution to the problem of scheduling student presentations which uses evolutionary algorithms. The solution uses a permutation based approach with each candidate schedule being coded for by a genotype containing six chromosome...

Application of 3D finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method to predict radiation from a PCB with high speed pulse propagation. (1994)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Buchanan, W. J., Gupta, N. K., & Arnold, J. M. (1994, September). Application of 3D finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method to predict radiation from a PCB with high speed pulse propagation

The authors have applied the 3D FDTD technique to simulate the propagation of electrical signals within printed circuit boards (PCBs). This relates to the work currently being carried out into the propagation of very high speed digital pulses in PCBs...

A conceptual language for querying object oriented data (1994)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barclay, P. J., & Kennedy, J. (1994, July). A conceptual language for querying object oriented data. Presented at 12th British National Conference on Database: Directions in Databases - BNCOD12, 1994

A variety of languages have been proposed for object oriented database systems in order to provide facilities for ad hoc querying. However, in order to model at the conceptual level, an object oriented schema definition language must itself provide f... Read More about A conceptual language for querying object oriented data.

Analysis of the linearly polarised nodes in elliptical-core fibre. (1994)
Journal Article
Hu, X., South, R., & Rutter, M. (1994). Analysis of the linearly polarised nodes in elliptical-core fibre. IEE proceedings. Optoelectronics, l4l, 356-362. https://doi.org/10.1049/ip-opt%3A19941552

The linearly polarised (LP) modes in elliptical-core fibre have been analysed theoretically. It was found that the electromagnetic fields of the LP modes in elliptical-core fibre can be expressed as a combination of Mathieu and modified Mathieu funct...

Three dimensional interface for an object oriented database. (1994)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Rapley, M. H., & Kennedy, J. (1994, July). Three dimensional interface for an object oriented database. Presented at 2nd International Workshop on Interfaces to Databases - IDS2, 1994

An experimental 3D interface to an object oriented database is described. It is hoped that using such techniques will help make complex data structures more comprehensible and easier to navigate. A number of 3D visualisation techniques are used to en... Read More about Three dimensional interface for an object oriented database..
