Visualising multiple overlapping classification hierarchies. (2001)
Thesis
Graham, M. Visualising multiple overlapping classification hierarchies. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2430

The revision or reorganisation of hierarchical data sets can result in many possible hierarchical classifications composed of the same or overlapping data sets existing in parallel with each other. These data sets are difficult for people to handle a... Read More about Visualising multiple overlapping classification hierarchies..

A Simulation of Interactions Between the Critically Endangered North Atlantic Right Whale Eubalaena glacialis and Shipping using Dynamically Variable Temporal Granularity to Minimise Run Time (2001)
Conference Proceeding
Clyne, H., & Kennedy, J. (2001). A Simulation of Interactions Between the Critically Endangered North Atlantic Right Whale Eubalaena glacialis and Shipping using Dynamically Variable Temporal Granularity to Minimise Run Time. In F. Ghassemi, D. White, D. Cuddy, & T. Nakanishi (Eds.), MODSIM 2001 : International Congress on Modelling and Simulation, the Australian National University, Canberra, Australia, 10-13 December 2001 : integrating models for natural resources management across disciplines, issues and scales : proceedings (813-818)

Collisions with ships are a major cause of mortality (~35%) for the severely endangered North Atlantic right whale Eubalaena glacialis, currently numbering only around 370 individuals. Although having a great impact upon the chances of survival of th...

Teaching multitasking to electronics and computing students (2001)
Journal Article
Armitage, A. (2001). Teaching multitasking to electronics and computing students. International Journal of Electrical Engineering Education, 38, 338-347

Although widely used in the solution of engineering problems, multitasking is conceptually as complicated as parallel processing. A simple system that covers the key features of multitasking in a short time is presented. A description is given of its...

Getting the story straight (2001)
Conference Proceeding
McCall, R., Turner, P., Turner, S., & McCall, R. (2001). Getting the story straight. In A. Blandford, J. Vanderdonckt, & P. Gray (Eds.), People and Computers XV-Interaction without frontiers: joint proceedings of HCI 2001 and IHM 2001 (267-278). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4471-0353-0_16

We argue that the use of a user-centred design approach necessarily involves some form of story telling or narrative. Given that both the potential end-users and the designers themselves often (perhaps usually) have different interests and points-of-... Read More about Getting the story straight.

Integrating View Schemata Using an Extended Object Definition Language (2001)
Conference Proceeding
Roantree, M., Kennedy, J. B., & Barclay, P. J. (2001). Integrating View Schemata Using an Extended Object Definition Language. In C. Batini, F. Giunchiglia, P. Giorgini, & M. Mecella (Eds.), Cooperative Information Systems; Lecture Notes in Computer Science (150-163). https://doi.org/10.1007/3-540-44751-2_13

View mechanisms play an important role in restructuring data for users, while maintaining the integrity and autonomy for the underlying database schema. Although far more complex than their relational counterparts, numerous object-oriented view mecha... Read More about Integrating View Schemata Using an Extended Object Definition Language.
