Apprentices' longitudinal perspectives of the tripartite collaboration at the heart of degree apprenticeships (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Taylor-Smith, E., Smith, S., & Fabian, K. (2022, September). Apprentices' longitudinal perspectives of the tripartite collaboration at the heart of degree apprenticeships. Paper presented at Organisational Learning, Knowledge and Capabilities, OLKC 2022,

Purpose: In degree apprenticeships, the tripartite collaboration between the apprentice, the employer, and the university is key to success. As the apprentices are at the centre of the degree, their lived experience and reflections are essential to...

Transactional distance in the context of online and blended learning (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fabian, K., Smith, S., Taylor-Smith, E., & Meharg, D. (2022, September). Transactional distance in the context of online and blended learning. Paper presented at Association for Learning Technology Annual Conference, Manchester

Moore’s (1993) transactional distance theory recognises that communications and psychological distance between learner and teacher are affected by course structure, dialogue between lecturers and students, and learner’s autonomy. These factors affect... Read More about Transactional distance in the context of online and blended learning.

Procedural Audio For Virtual Environments Workshop (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Di Donato, B., & Selfridge, R. (2022, September). Procedural Audio For Virtual Environments Workshop. Presented at Audio Mostly, St. Pölten, Austria

Sound design is a crucial aspect of interactive virtual environments (VEs). Often, this activity is fixated by the constraints of the tools we use or our perception of that medium. In this on-site workshop, we present methods to model sound-producing... Read More about Procedural Audio For Virtual Environments Workshop.

Participant-centred planning framework for effective gender balance activities in tech (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Taylor-Smith, E., Barnett, C., Smith, S., Barr, M., & Shankland, C. (2022). Participant-centred planning framework for effective gender balance activities in tech. In UKICER '22: Proceedings of the 2022 Conference on United Kingdom & Ireland Computing Ed

The gender imbalance in the tech industry [21], mirrored in computing education [13], is problematic in terms of providing appropriate products and services for the whole population. This lack of diversity and inclusion is also self-perpetuating thro... Read More about Participant-centred planning framework for effective gender balance activities in tech.

Digital options: an assessment of audience engagement with a digitised archive set transformed from online text and images to audio format (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ryan, B., Hall, H., & McGregor, I. (2022, August). Digital options: an assessment of audience engagement with a digitised archive set transformed from online text and images to audio format. Paper presented at Archives and Records Association Annual Confe

We report the findings of a research project funded by the AHRC, with support of the BBC, British Library, and a community museum. This exploits, augments, and exhibits a set of existing archive data by transforming a young woman’s personal testimony...

Evolutionary Approaches to Improving the Layouts of Instance-Spaces (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sim, K., & Hart, E. (2022, September). Evolutionary Approaches to Improving the Layouts of Instance-Spaces. Presented at 17th International Conference, PPSN 2022, Dortmund, Germany

We propose two new methods for evolving the layout of an instance-space. Specifically we design three different fitness metrics that seek to: (i) reward layouts which place instances won by the same solver close in the space; (ii) reward layouts that...

A Novelty-Search Approach to Filling an Instance-Space with Diverse and Discriminatory Instances for the Knapsack Problem (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Marrero, A., Segredo, E., León, C., & Hart, E. (2022, September). A Novelty-Search Approach to Filling an Instance-Space with Diverse and Discriminatory Instances for the Knapsack Problem. Presented at Parallel Problem Solving from Nature – PPSN

We propose a new approach to generating synthetic instances in the knapsack domain in order to fill an instance-space. The method uses a novelty-search algorithm to search for instances that are diverse with respect to a feature-space but also elicit...

Electromagnetic Side-Channel Attack Resilience against PRESENT Lightweight Block Cipher (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gunathilake, N. A., Al-Dubai, A., Buchanan, W. J., & Lo, O. (2022). Electromagnetic Side-Channel Attack Resilience against PRESENT Lightweight Block Cipher. In 2022 6th International Conference on Cryptography, Security and Privacy (CSP). https://doi.org

Lightweight cryptography is a novel diversion from conventional cryptography that targets internet-of-things (IoT) platform due to resource constraints. In comparison, it offers smaller cryptographic primitives such as shorter key sizes, block sizes...

Emotional Data Visualised - EDV (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Flint, T., & Shore, L. (2022). Emotional Data Visualised - EDV. In Proceedings of the 35th British HCI and Doctoral Consortium 2022, UK. https://doi.org/10.14236/ewic/HCI2022.45

This installation is an attempt to reflect the emotional state of a population of people. Emotional Data Visualised (EDV) poses the question: In a post-pandemic digital world how can we be expressive in a subtle yet personal way? EDV reflects the obs...

Blended Experience Narratives (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Flint, T., O'Keefe, B., Mastermaker, M., Sturdee, M., & Benyon, D. (2022). Blended Experience Narratives. In Proceedings of the 35th British HCI and Doctoral Consortium 2022, UK. https://doi.org/10.14236/ewic/HCI2022.9

Our work employs conceptual integration, otherwise known as blending, as a tool for designing interactions that work across and between the digital/physical divide. Theoretical approaches to blends can be difficult to navigate and a hard subject to g... Read More about Blended Experience Narratives.
