Solving CSPs using self-adaptive constraint weights: how to prevent EAs from cheating (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Eiben, A. E., Jansen, B., Michalewicz, Z., & Paechter, B. (2000). Solving CSPs using self-adaptive constraint weights: how to prevent EAs from cheating. In GECCO'00: Proceedings of the 2nd Annual Conference on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation (128-13

This paper examines evolutionary algorithms (EAs) extended by various penalty-based approaches to solve constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). In some approaches, the penalties are set in advance and they do not change during a run. In other approa...

Online information sources: tools of business intelligence? (2000)
Journal Article
Hall, H. (2000). Online information sources: tools of business intelligence?. Journal of Information Science, 26(3), 139-143. https://doi.org/10.1177/016555150002600303

Organisations seek to use information intelligently, and to generate business intelligence for future profitable prospects. Although not regarded as business intelligence per se, there is a role for commercially produced online information sources an...

Social intelligence in the age of networks (2000)
Journal Article
Davenport, E. (2000). Social intelligence in the age of networks. Journal of Information Science, 26(3), 145-152. https://doi.org/10.1177/016555150002600304

The author explores the concept of ‘social intelligence’. She suggests that, in the world of digital commerce, it may be defined as ‘insight which is based on collective understanding of work practices’. She offers three scenarios to support the...

Inside the Palimpsest: A Study of Newsroom Information Gathering. (2000)
Thesis
Macaulay, C. Gathering. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/7241

The methodologies of systems design, rooted in engineering and in cognitivist conceptions of human action, have been stretched to the limit by the complexity of uses to which information and communication technologies are being turned. Within segme... Read More about Inside the Palimpsest: A Study of Newsroom Information Gathering..

A dual-level presentation model for developing user-interfaces. (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barclay, P. J., & Kennedy, J. (2000). A dual-level presentation model for developing user-interfaces. In V. Gesu, S. Levialdi, & L. Tarantino (Eds.), Proceedings of the workshop on Advanced Visual Interfaces (151-154)

The visualisation of hierarchical information sets has been a staple of Information Visualisation since the field came into being in the early 1990’s. However, at present, support for visualising the correlations between multiple, overlapping sets of... Read More about A dual-level presentation model for developing user-interfaces..

Optimising an evolutionary algorithm for scheduling (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Urquhart, N. B., Chisholm, K., & Paechter, B. (2000). Optimising an evolutionary algorithm for scheduling. In S. Cagnoni, R. Poli, G. D. Smith, D. Corne, M. Oates, E. Hart, …T. C. Fogarty (Eds.), Real-World Applications of Evolutionary Computing: EvoWor

This paper examines two techniques for setting the parameters of an evolutionary Algorithm (EA). The example EA used for test purposes undertakes a simple scheduling problem. An initial version of the EA was tested utilising a set of parameters that... Read More about Optimising an evolutionary algorithm for scheduling.

Design tools as agents of disclosure. (2000)
Journal Article
Smyth, M. (2000). Design tools as agents of disclosure. Knowledge-Based Systems, 13(1), 27-35. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0950-7051%2899%2900049-0

This paper investigates the nature and use of existing tools during a design task as a means of gathering information concerning practitioners' conception of that activity. Three case studies are reported and a number of conclusions are drawn concern... Read More about Design tools as agents of disclosure..

Special issue on intelligent interface technology: editor's introduction (2000)
Journal Article
Benyon, D., & Murray, D. (2000). Special issue on intelligent interface technology: editor's introduction. Interacting with Computers, 12(4), 315-322. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0953-5438%2899%2900024-7

The term ‘Intelligent Interface Technology’ (IIT) is intended to capture the wide range of issues and methods in which some form of ‘intelligence’ is applied to both user interface design and implementation. Originally, these became known as adaptive... Read More about Special issue on intelligent interface technology: editor's introduction.
