A Parametric Evaluation of Multi-Webbed Composite Joists Based on EC5 (2007)
Journal Article
Bahadori-Jahromi, A., Kermani, A., Zhang, B., & Reid, D. (2007). A Parametric Evaluation of Multi-Webbed Composite Joists Based on EC5. Journal of the Institute of Wood Science, 17(6), 295-310. https://doi.org/10.1179/wsc.2007.17.6.295

The introduction of engineered beams offers long span, low cost and light weight joists in comparison to traditional solid timber sections. However, the vibration criteria in the design codes may significantly reduce the permissible span of the joist...

Empirical Validation of a Gossiping Communication Mechanism for Parallel EAs (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Laredo, J. L. J., Castillo, P. A., Paechter, B., Mora, A. M., Alfaro-Cid, E., Esparcia-Alcazar, A. I., & Merelo, J. J. (2007, December). Empirical Validation of a Gossiping Communication Mechanism for Parallel EAs. Presented at EvoWorkshops: Workshops on Applications of Evolutionary Computation

The development of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems is still a challenge due to the huge number of factors involved. Validation of these systems must be defined in terms of describing the adequacy of the P2P model to the actual environment. This paper focu...

Boosting the Performance of a Multiobjective Algorithm to Design RBFNNs Through Parallelization (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Guillen, A., Rojas, I., Gonzalez, J., Pomares, H., Herrera, L. J., & Paechter, B. (2007, April). Boosting the Performance of a Multiobjective Algorithm to Design RBFNNs Through Parallelization. Presented at ICANNGA: International Conference on Adaptive and Natural Computing Algorithms, Warsaw, Poland

Radial Basis Function Neural Networks (RBFNNs) have been widely used to solve classification and regression tasks providing satisfactory results. The main issue when working with RBFNNs is how to design them because this task requires the optimizatio...

Information Architecture and Navigation Design for Web Sites (2007)
Book Chapter
Benyon, D. (2007). Information Architecture and Navigation Design for Web Sites. In P. Zaphiris, & S. Kurniawan (Eds.), Human Computer Interaction Research in Web Design and Evaluation (165-184). IGI Global. https://doi.org/10.4018/978-1-59904-246-6.ch008

Information architecture concerns how to structure the content of an information space. Information architects design information spaces. Staying with the notion of information space leads us to the realisation that people need to be able to both con... Read More about Information Architecture and Navigation Design for Web Sites.

Owning identity-one or many-do we have a choice? (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wigan, M. (2007). Owning identity-one or many-do we have a choice?. In K. Michael, & M. G. Michael (Eds.), From Dataveillance to Überveillance and the realpolitik of the transparent society (61-70)

The rapid growth of databases, biometrics, and RFID has led to an environment where identity-related technologies are approaching a critical mass as a potential means of controlling the population. The essential aspects of these diverse technical adv... Read More about Owning identity-one or many-do we have a choice?.

Plotting affect and premises for use in aesthetic interaction design: towards evaluation of the everyday. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kettley, S., & Smyth, M. (2006, September). Plotting affect and premises for use in aesthetic interaction design: towards evaluation of the everyday. Presented at HCI Conference 2006

This short paper presents an experimental approach to the difficulty of evaluating interactive systems as artefacts for everyday life. The problem arises from the event-like nature of the user-centred evaluation session, as distinct from ‘being’ or t...

Quality metrics for internet applications: developing new from old. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhou, S., & Liu, X. (2007). Quality metrics for internet applications: developing new from old. . https://doi.org/10.1109/COMPSAC.2007.176

This discussion concerns ?metrics?. More specifically, we discuss quantitative metrics for evaluating Internet applications: what should we quantify, monitor and analyse in order to characterise, evaluate and develop Internet applications based on re...

Exact minimization of large fixed polarity dual form of reed-muller functions (2007)
Journal Article
Yang, M., Xu, H., Wang, L. Y., Tong, J. R., & Almaini, A. E. A. (2007). Exact minimization of large fixed polarity dual form of reed-muller functions. Solid-State and Integrated Circuit Technology, 1931-1933. https://doi.org/10.1109/ICSICT.2006.306532

Dual form of Reed-Muller (DFRM) expansions are implemented in OX/XNOR logic, which are based on the features of coincidence operation and are known as fixed polarity Canonical OR-Coincidence (COC) expansions. An efficient minimization method is propo... Read More about Exact minimization of large fixed polarity dual form of reed-muller functions.
