On a representation of vector continued fractions. (1999)
Journal Article
Roberts, D. E. (1999). On a representation of vector continued fractions. Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics, 105(1-2), 453-466. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0377-0427%2899%2900034-5

Vector Pade approximants to power series with vector coefficients may be calculated using the three-term recurrence relations of vector continued fractions if formulated in the framework of Clifford algebras. We show that the numerator and denominat... Read More about On a representation of vector continued fractions..

A multidatabase layer for the ODMG object model (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Roantree, M., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. J. (1999). A multidatabase layer for the ODMG object model. In C. Rolland, & G. Grosz (Eds.), Oois '98: Proceedings 1998 International Conference on Object Oriented Information Systems, 9-11 September 1998, Paris (

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.

European economic development partnerships-the case of the Eastern Scotland European partnership (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McQuaid, R. W., & Christy, B. (1999). European economic development partnerships-the case of the Eastern Scotland European partnership.

Partnerships are crucial to regional and local economic development. There is a need for greater understanding about the real operations of such partnerships in order to improve their efficiency and effectiveness and to understand the appropriateness...

Orthogonal RBF neural network approximation (1999)
Journal Article
Andras, P. (1999). Orthogonal RBF neural network approximation. Neural Processing Letters, 9, 141-151. https://doi.org/10.1023/A%3A1018621308457

The approximation properties of the RBF neural networks are investigated in this paper. A new approach is proposed, which is based on approximations with orthogonal combinations of functions. An orthogonalization framework is presented for the Gaussi... Read More about Orthogonal RBF neural network approximation.

PEDFLOW - A System for Modelling Pedestrian Movement Using occam (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J., & McNair, N. (1999). PEDFLOW - A System for Modelling Pedestrian Movement Using occam. In Proceedings of WoTUG-22: Architectures, Languages and Techniques for Concurrent Systems (1-18)

Road traffic modelling and simulation is currently, well provided with a variety of packages dealing with the minute detail of road layouts from single isolated junction models to complete network simulations. There has also been much work in develop... Read More about PEDFLOW - A System for Modelling Pedestrian Movement Using occam.

A feasibility study on the development of an integrated manufacturing planning and control system in the South African Sawmill Industry (1999)
Journal Article
Kapp, S. B., Price, C. S., Turner, P., & Vermaas, H. F. (1999). A feasibility study on the development of an integrated manufacturing planning and control system in the South African Sawmill Industry. Southern African forestry journal, 184(1), 80-87. https://doi.org/10.1080/10295925.1999.9631215

A feasibility study was conducted to assess the potential application of an integrated manufacturing planning and control (MPC) system within the South African sawmill industry. Implementation of such a system could enhance the international competit...

Valuation, appraisal, discounting, obsolescence and depreciation: Towards a life cycle analysis and impact assessment of their effects on the environment of cities (1999)
Journal Article
Deakin, M. (1999). Valuation, appraisal, discounting, obsolescence and depreciation: Towards a life cycle analysis and impact assessment of their effects on the environment of cities. International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment, 4(2), 87-93. https://do

Previous editions of this journal have drawn attention to the critical role valuation plays in life cycle analysis and environmental impact assessment (see for example Volkwein and Klopffer [1]. In particular, the critical role of valuation has be...

Metaphors and models: conceptual foundations of representations for interactive systems design (1999)
Journal Article
Benyon, D., & Imaz, M. (1999). Metaphors and models: conceptual foundations of representations for interactive systems design. Human-Computer Interaction, 14(1-2), 159-189. https://doi.org/10.1080/07370024.1999.9667268

When system developers design a computer system (or other information artifact), they must inevitably make judgments as to how to abstract the worksystem and how to represent this abstraction in their designs. In the past, such abstractions have been... Read More about Metaphors and models: conceptual foundations of representations for interactive systems design.

Multiple traffic signal control using a genetic algorithm (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kalganova, T., Russell, G., & Cumming, A. (1999). Multiple traffic signal control using a genetic algorithm. In A. Dobnikar, N. C. Steele, D. W. Pearson, & R. F. Albrecht (Eds.), Artificial Neural Nets and Genetic Algorithms (220-228). https://doi.org/10.

Optimising traffic signal timings for a multiple-junction road network is a difficult but important problem. The essential difficulty of this problem is that the traffic signals need to coordinate their behaviours to achieve the common goal of optimi...
