The operator's response to P2P service demand (2007)
Journal Article
Liotta, A., & Lin, L. (2007). The operator's response to P2P service demand. IEEE Communications Magazine, 45(7), 76-83. https://doi.org/10.1109/MCOM.2007.382664

Peer-to-peer (P2P) systems are in high demand for all sorts of tasks-video communication, resource sharing, and content retrieval, to mention a few. However, current P2P solutions are intrinsically incompatible with the IP multimedia subsystem (IMS),... Read More about The operator's response to P2P service demand.

Exponential stabilization of the inertia wheel pendulum using dynamic surface control (2007)
Journal Article
Qaiser, N., Iqbal, N., Hussain, A., & Qaiser, N. (2007). Exponential stabilization of the inertia wheel pendulum using dynamic surface control. Journal of Circuits, Systems, and Computers, 16(1), 81-92. https://doi.org/10.1142/S0218126607003514

This paper considers the stabilization problem of Inertia Wheel Pendulum, a widely studied benchmark nonlinear system. It is a classical example of a flat underactuated mechanical system, for which the design of control law becomes a challenging task...

Mass customisation through personalised brochures: the role of digital printing. (2007)
Journal Article
Migas, N., Anastasiadou, C., & Buchanan, W. J. (2007). Mass customisation through personalised brochures: the role of digital printing. Information Systems,

This paper argues that despite the wide adoption of Internet technologies in destination marketing, information is still disseminated through printed brochures that have largely remained unchanged and unaffected by the trend towards greater personali...

Visual Exploration of Alternative Taxonomies through Concepts (2007)
Journal Article
Graham, M., & Kennedy, J. (2007). Visual Exploration of Alternative Taxonomies through Concepts. Ecological Informatics, 2, 248-261. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoinf.2007.07.004

A graphical user interface is presented that allows users of taxonomic data to explore concept relationships between conflicting but related taxonomic classifications. Ecological analyses that use taxonomic metadata depend on accurate naming of spe... Read More about Visual Exploration of Alternative Taxonomies through Concepts.

Environmental adversity and uncertainty favour cooperation (2007)
Journal Article
Andras, P., Lazarus, J., & Roberts, G. (2007). Environmental adversity and uncertainty favour cooperation. BMC Evolutionary Biology, 7, Article 240 (2007). https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2148-7-240

Background A major cornerstone of evolutionary biology theory is the explanation of the emergence of cooperation in communities of selfish individuals. There is an unexplained tendency in the plant and animal world – with examples from alpine plants... Read More about Environmental adversity and uncertainty favour cooperation.

Exploring multiple trees through DAG representations (2007)
Journal Article
Graham, M., & Kennedy, J. (2007). Exploring multiple trees through DAG representations. IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, 13, 1294-1301. https://doi.org/10.1109/TVCG.2007.70556

We present a Directed Acyclic Graph visualisation designed to allow interaction with a set of multiple classification trees, specifically to find overlaps and differences between groups of trees and individual trees. The work is motivated by the need... Read More about Exploring multiple trees through DAG representations.

Library 2.0 and UK academic libraries: drivers and impacts (2007)
Journal Article
Shoniwa, P., & Hall, H. (2007). Library 2.0 and UK academic libraries: drivers and impacts. New Review of Information Networking, 13(2), 69-79. https://doi.org/10.1080/13614570801899975

At a time that the term “Library 2.0” has attracted attention in the professional and academic press of library and information science, there appears to be a lack of consensus as to what this nomenclature actually means. At one extreme Library 2.0 i... Read More about Library 2.0 and UK academic libraries: drivers and impacts.

Evaluating universities using simple scientometric research-output metrics: Total citation counts per university for a retrospective seven-year rolling sample (2007)
Journal Article
Charlton, B. G., & Andras, P. (2007). Evaluating universities using simple scientometric research-output metrics: Total citation counts per university for a retrospective seven-year rolling sample. Science and Public Policy, 34(8), 555–563. https://doi.org/10.3152/030234207X254413

We advocate a scientometric, top-down and institution-based research-assessment methodology that is based on total citations accumulated from all publications associated with a specific university during the survey period. The exercise could be done...

Exponential stabilization of a class of underactuated mechanical systems using dynamic surface control (2007)
Journal Article
Qaiser, N., Iqbal, N., Hussain, A., & Qaiser, N. (2007). Exponential stabilization of a class of underactuated mechanical systems using dynamic surface control. International Journal of Control, Automation and Systems, 5(5), 547-558

This paper proposes a simpler solution to the stabilization problem of a special class of nonlinear underactuated mechanical systems which includes widely studied benchmark systems like Inertia Wheel Pendulum, TORA and Acrobot. Complex internal dynam... Read More about Exponential stabilization of a class of underactuated mechanical systems using dynamic surface control.
