New knowledge creation within manufacturing: a pattern analysis of behaviours and interactions that underpin knowledge creation and innovation in a large German automotive manufacturer. (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Auernhammer, J. M., & Hall, H. (2013, June). New knowledge creation within manufacturing: a pattern analysis of behaviours and interactions that underpin knowledge creation and innovation in a large German automotive manufacturer. Paper presented at Information: interactions and impact (i3) 2013

Organisational culture is regularly cited in the knowledge management literature as a barrier to information and knowledge sharing (for example, Hall & Goody, 2007, p. 182). In addition, it has been noted that the degree of success of knowledge manag...

UrbanixD: designing human interactions in the networked city (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smyth, M., Helgason, I., Brynskov, M., Mitrovic, I., & Zaffiro, G. (2013, April). UrbanixD: designing human interactions in the networked city. Presented at CHI '13 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Interaction Design, in an urban context, is an increasingly important field of research. City populations are currently in a state of rapid flux. Conurbations are fast becoming a hybrid of the physical environment and the digital datasphere. How we,... Read More about UrbanixD: designing human interactions in the networked city.

In an introductory study both qualitative and quantitative data were... Read More about jamTable: Can Physical Interfaces Support the Collaboration between Novice and Experienced Musicians?.

Survival vs. revenue: modelling and reasoning on population dynamics (WIP) (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bracciali, A., Caravagna, G., & Ullah, A. (2013). Survival vs. revenue: modelling and reasoning on population dynamics (WIP). In DEVS 13: Proceedings of the Symposium on Theory of Modeling & Simulation - DEVS Integrative M&S Symposium

We report on modelling a population dynamics problem by means of stochastic quantitative analysis. We are interested in the tension between survival of the population and revenue that can be obtained by its exploitation, and in showing how the chosen...
