Genetic algorithms and timetabling (2003)
Book Chapter
Ross, P., Hart, E., & Corne, D. (2003). Genetic algorithms and timetabling. In A. Ghosh, & K. Tsutsui (Eds.), Advances in Evolutionary Optimisation. Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-18965-4_30

Genetic algorithms can be used to search very large spaces, and it would seem natural to use them for tackling the nastier kinds of timetabling problem. We completed an EPSRC-funded project on this last year, and distribute a free package that handle... Read More about Genetic algorithms and timetabling.

R-wave detection using continuous wavelet modulus maxima. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Romero Legarreta, I., Addison, P., Grubb, N. R., Clegg, G. R., Robertson, C. E., Fox, K. A. A., & Watson, J. N. (2003). R-wave detection using continuous wavelet modulus maxima. In Computers in Cardiology, 2003 (565-568). https://doi.org/10.1109/CIC.2003

Modulus maxima derived from the continuous wavelet transform offers an enhanced time-frequency analysis technique for ECG signal analysis. Features within the ECG can be shown to correspond to various morphologies in the continuous modulus maxima dom... Read More about R-wave detection using continuous wavelet modulus maxima..

An agent-based Bayesian method for network intrusion detection. (2003)
Thesis
Pikoulas, J. (2003). An agent-based Bayesian method for network intrusion detection. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4057

Security is one of the major issues in any network and on the Internet. It encapsulates many different areas, such as protecting individual users against intruders, protecting corporate systems against damage, and protecting data from intrusion. It i...

A methodology for composing well-defined character descriptions. (2003)
Report
Paterson, T., Cannon, A., Raguenaud, C., Russell, G., Armstrong, K. E., MacDonald, S. M., …Kennedy, J. (2003). A methodology for composing well-defined character descriptions

Taxonomy has been described as “the science of documenting biodiversity”, which involves collecting, naming, describing, identifying and classifying specimens of organisms (Keogh, 1995). Descriptions are the fundamental information units used in the... Read More about A methodology for composing well-defined character descriptions..

Gaze tracking and its application to video coding for sign language. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Muir, L. J., Richardson, I., & Leaper, S. (2003). Gaze tracking and its application to video coding for sign language.

Sign language communication via videotelephone has demanding visual quality requirements. In order to optimise video coding for sign language it is necessary to quantify the importance of areas of the video scene. Eye movements of deaf users are trac...

Channelling expertise from Napier’s HCI group – human-centred knowledge transfer. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McEwan, T., Benyon, D., & Turner, S. (2003). Channelling expertise from Napier’s HCI group – human-centred knowledge transfer. In H. Johnson (Ed.), HCI 2003 - Designing for Society

The scope of the activities of Napier University’s HCI Group includes technology transfer, which led recently a national award. UCD is a typically mature set of ideas now ready for transfer, but as technology transfer gives way to knowledge transfer,...

Navigation: within and beyond the metaphor in interface design. (2003)
Book Chapter
McCall, R., & Benyon, D. (2003). Navigation: within and beyond the metaphor in interface design. In K. Hook, D. Benyon, & A. J. Munro (Eds.), Designing Information Spaces: The Social Navigation Approach (355-384). Springer-Verlag. https://doi.org/10.1007/

Over the last few years we have been exploring an alternative conceptual isation of human-computer interaction (HCl) that sees HCl as the navigation of information spaces (Benyon and Höök, 1997). As a corollary cognitive engineers can be seen as the... Read More about Navigation: within and beyond the metaphor in interface design..
