Exploring knowledge sharing in distributed organisations: report on research in progress (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hall, H. (2002). Exploring knowledge sharing in distributed organisations: report on research in progress. In KMSS 2002: the new scope of knowledge management in theory and in practice

Published academic research and reported practice in the professional press indicate that social capital is a driver of knowledge management. This paper reports on progress to date on part of a project that examines the role of social capital in know...

Reverse engineering. (2002)
Book Chapter
Chu, W., Lu, C., Chang, C., Liu, X., & Yang, H. (2002). Reverse engineering. In S. K. Chang (Ed.), Handbook of Software Engineering & Knowledge Engineering (447-466). World Scientific

Software systems have become business-critical for many companies. These systems are usually large and complex. Some have evolved over decades and therefore are known as legacy systems. These legacy systems need to be maintained and evolved due to ma... Read More about Reverse engineering..

Teaching and learning in the VLCC: actions, reactions and emerging practice in a very large computing centre. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Buckner, K., & Davenport, E. (2002). Teaching and learning in the VLCC: actions, reactions and emerging practice in a very large computing centre. In S. Bagnara, S. Pozzi, A. Rizzo, & P. Wright (Eds.), 11th European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics (355

What happens to human computer interaction when the walls of a physical teaching laboratory are removed? We present the case of a very large (and new) computing centre (VLCC) in a technical university in Central Scotland. In this large multi-user...

A GA evolving instructions for a timetable builder. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Blum, C., Correia, S., Dorigo, M., Paechter, B., Rossi-Doria, O., & Snoek, M. (2002). A GA evolving instructions for a timetable builder. In E. Burke, & P. Causmaecker (Eds.), Proceedings of the Conference on the Practice and Theory of Automated Timetabli

In this work we present a Genetic Algorithm for tackling timetabling problems. Our approach uses an indirect solution representation, which denotes a number of instructions for a timetable builder on how to sequentially build a solution. These instru...

Towards a scalable broadcast in wormhole-switched mesh networks (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Al-Dubai, A. Y., Ould-Khaoua, M., & Mackenzie, L. M. (2002). Towards a scalable broadcast in wormhole-switched mesh networks. In Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (840-844). https://doi.org/10.1145/508791.508955

Broadcast algorithms for wormhole--switched meshes have been widely reported in the literature. However, most of these algorithms handle broadcast in a sequential manner and do not scale well with the network size. As a consequence, many parallel ap...
