Social Navigation of Information Space. (1999)
Book
(1999). A. J. Munro, K. Hook, & D. Benyon (Eds.), Social Navigation of Information Space. Springer-Verlag

Social navigation is a vibrant new field which examines how we navigate information spaces in "real" and "virtual" environments, how we orient and guide ourselves, and how we interact with and use others to find our way in information spaces. This ap... Read More about Social Navigation of Information Space..

Integrating measurement techniques in an Object-Oriented systems design process. (1999)
Thesis
Li-Thiao-Te, P. systems design process. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/9468

The theme of this thesis is the assessment of quality in class hierarchies. In particular, the notion of
inheritance and the mechanism of redefinition from a modelling perspective are reviewed. It is
shown that, in Object-Oriented languages, contro... Read More about Integrating measurement techniques in an Object-Oriented systems design process..

Providing views and closure for the object data management group object model (1999)
Journal Article
Roantree, M., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. (1999). Providing views and closure for the object data management group object model. Information and Software Technology, 41(15), 1037-1044. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0950-5849%2899%2900042-7

The ODMG Object Model uses a standard for object-oriented database designers,
while attempting to address some issues of interoperability. This research is focused
on the viability of using the ODMG data model as a canonical data model in a
multid... Read More about Providing views and closure for the object data management group object model.

Query Language For Prometheus (1999)
Report
Raguenaud, C., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. J. Query Language For Prometheus. Napier University

This document presents the query language developed for the Prometheus database [RKB99]. This language is based on graphs and provides the user with a means to define the data to be extracted from the database and its manipulation. The language requi...

Excluding inclusions [PCB inspection] (1999)
Journal Article
Scott, A. V., & Buchanan, W. J. (1999). Excluding inclusions [PCB inspection]. Manufacturing Engineer, 78(4), 154-156. https://doi.org/10.1049/me%3A19990403

The authors look at the causes of a persistent annoyance for manufacturers of printed circuit boards, and suggest some steps that would help to speed inspection and reduce both genuine faults and false rejects from the visual inspection system. This... Read More about Excluding inclusions [PCB inspection].

A multidatabase layer for the ODMG object model (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Roantree, M., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. J. (1998, September). A multidatabase layer for the ODMG object model. Presented at 5th International Conference on Object-Oriented Information Systems, 1998, Paris, France

The lack of a common object model has been addressed to some extent by the specification of the ODMG Object Model standard. However, the problem still exists for designers of object-oriented multidatabase systems. In this research we propose to use t... Read More about A multidatabase layer for the ODMG object model.

Orthogonal RBF neural network approximation (1999)
Journal Article
Andras, P. (1999). Orthogonal RBF neural network approximation. Neural Processing Letters, 9, 141-151. https://doi.org/10.1023/A%3A1018621308457

The approximation properties of the RBF neural networks are investigated in this paper. A new approach is proposed, which is based on approximations with orthogonal combinations of functions. An orthogonalization framework is presented for the Gaussi... Read More about Orthogonal RBF neural network approximation.
