Recreating the Botanics: towards a sense of place in virtual environments. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, S., Turner, P., Carroll, F., O'Neill, S., Benyon, D., McCall, R., & Smyth, M. (2003, June). Recreating the Botanics: towards a sense of place in virtual environments. Paper presented at 3rd UK Conference of the Environmental Psychology Network

The EC funded project BENOGO seeks to re-create real places using photo-realistic immersive virtual reality technology and in so doing investigates the nature of presence and sense of place in such environments. We discuss the first stages in our... Read More about Recreating the Botanics: towards a sense of place in virtual environments..

Mobile agents for routing, topology discovery, and automatic network reconfiguration in ad-hoc networks. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Migas, N., Buchanan, W. J., & McArtney, K. (2003). Mobile agents for routing, topology discovery, and automatic network reconfiguration in ad-hoc networks. In Proceedings. 10th IEEE International Conference and Workshop on the Engineering of Computer-Bas

Wireless networks and the usage of mobile devices are becoming popular in recent days, especially in creating ad-hoc networks. There is thus scope for developing mobile systems, where devices take an active part of creating a network infrastructure,...

A scalable broadcast algorithm for multiport meshes with minimum communication steps (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Al-Dubai, A., & Ould-Khaoua, M. (2002, December). A scalable broadcast algorithm for multiport meshes with minimum communication steps. Presented at Ninth International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Systems, 2002. Proceedings., Taiwan, China

Many broadcast algorithms have been proposed for the mesh over the past decade. However, most of these algorithms do not exhibit good scalability properties as the network size increases. As a consequence, most existing broadcast algorithms cannot su... Read More about A scalable broadcast algorithm for multiport meshes with minimum communication steps.

A systematic investigation of GA performance on jobshop scheduling problems. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., & Ross, P. (2003). A systematic investigation of GA performance on jobshop scheduling problems. In Real-World Applications of Evolutionary Computing (280-289). https://doi.org/10.1007/3-540-45561-2_27

Although there has been a wealth of work reported in the literature on the application of genetic algorithms (GAs) to jobshop scheduling problems, much of it contains some gross over-generalisations, i.e that the observed performance of a GA on a sma...

E-voting: the powerful symbol of e-democracy (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smith, E., & Macintosh, A. (2003). E-voting: the powerful symbol of e-democracy. In R. Traunmueller (Ed.), Electronic Government: Second International Conference, EGOV 2003, Prague, Czech Republic, September 1-5, 2003, Proceedings (240-245). https://doi.o

This paper focuses on an Internet-enabled remote voting system for a young people's parliament in the Highland region of Scotland. The parliament was established to increase young people's participation in local government. Two elections have been he... Read More about E-voting: the powerful symbol of e-democracy.

Members of the Scottish Parliament on the net: using internet based technologies in the Scottish Parliament. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smith, C. F., & Webster, W. (2003, January). Members of the Scottish Parliament on the net: using internet based technologies in the Scottish Parliament. Paper presented at Government and Democracy in the Information Ade (GaDIA) 'Cyberdemocracy' Working G

This paper presents research undertaken into the use of Internet Based Technologies (IBTs) by Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs). It is based on research findings from a survey of MSPs conducted in Spring 2002. The survey examines MSPs experie...

Two phenomenological studies of place. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, P., & Turner, S. (2003, January). Two phenomenological studies of place. Paper presented at BCS- HCI Conference 2003

We introduce our initial investigations into the phenomenology of place as part of the BENOGO project. BENOGO is concerned with giving people the experience of ‘being there without going there’. Employing a state-of-the-art mixture of photorealist... Read More about Two phenomenological studies of place..
