Using active constructs in user-interfaces to object-oriented databases. (1997)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mitchell, K., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. J. (1997). Using active constructs in user-interfaces to object-oriented databases. In Proceedings [of the First] International database engineering and applications symposium, (3-12)

This paper examines the use of active constructs in the definition of user-interfaces to object-oriented databases. A development environment for user-interfaces to databases is presented which features the interactive use of active features of an ob...

The perspective tunnel: An inside view on smoothly integrating detail and context. (1997)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mitchell, K., & Kennedy, J. (1997). The perspective tunnel: An inside view on smoothly integrating detail and context. In W. Lefer, & M. Grave (Eds.), Visualization in scientific computing '97: proceedings of the Eurographics Workshop in Boulogne-sur-Mer,

The perspective tunnel, a general kind of information visualisation artefact, embodies a visual form which exploits natural human visual perception. Perspective tunnels map information on to the floor, ceiling and walls of a tunnel, so that both ever...

Representing temporal relationships between events and their effects. (1997)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ma, J., Knight, B., & Peng, T. (1997). Representing temporal relationships between events and their effects. In Proc. of the 4th Workshop on Temporal Representation and Reasoning (148-152). https://doi.org/10.1109/TIME.1997.600796

Temporal relationships between events and their effects are complex. As the ejjects of a given event, a proposition may change its truth value immediately after the occurrence of the event and remain true until some other events occur, while anot...

Formal methods for the re-engineering of computing systems. (1997)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Liu, X., Yang, H., & Zedan, H. (1997). Formal methods for the re-engineering of computing systems. In COMPSAC '97-21st International Computer Software and Applications Conference (409-414). https://doi.org/10.1109/CMPSAC.1997.625024

This paper presents a short review of formal methods and their use in the re-engineering of computing systems. Five classes of formal notations and theories, namely state/model-based, logic-based, algebraic-based, process algebra and net-based formal...

A design framework for system re-engineering. (1997)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Liu, X., Chen, Z., Yang, H., Zedan, H., & Chu, W. (1997). A design framework for system re-engineering. In APSEC'97/ICSC'97 - Fourth Asia-Pacific Software Engineering and International Computer Science Conference (342-352). https://doi.org/10.1109/APSEC.

We discuss the current situation of formal methods and their use in the re-engineering of computing systems, especially real time systems. Based on the analysis result, a solution which uses a consistent 4-sector Wide Spectrum Language (WSL) is propo... Read More about A design framework for system re-engineering..

You'll wish it was all over: the bibliographic control of grey literature with reference to print football fanzines (1997)
Journal Article
Hall, H., & Smith, N. (1997). You'll wish it was all over: the bibliographic control of grey literature with reference to print football fanzines. Serials, 10(2), 189-194. https://doi.org/10.1629/10189

Since the mid-1970s there has been a growth in the availability of self-published serial material for fans of football teams, science fiction series and bands. Typically, dissemination of these publications is through specialised channels in low prin...
