MARIAN: A framework using mobile agents for routing, topology discovery and automatic network reconfiguration in ad-hoc networks. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Migas, N., Buchanan, W. J., & McArtney, K. (2003). MARIAN: A framework using mobile agents for routing, topology discovery and automatic network reconfiguration in ad-hoc networks.

The purpose of MARIAN is to investigate the degree of suitability for mobile agent technology in routing, topology discovery, and automatic network reconfiguration in ad-hoc networks. This research proposes to assess different models of the usage of...

A role for immunology in 'next generation' robots. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., Ross, P., Webb, A., & Lawson, A. (2003). A role for immunology in 'next generation' robots. In J. Timmis, P. Bentley, & E. Hart (Eds.), Artificial Immune Systems. ICARIS 2003 (46-56). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-45192-1_5

Much of current robot research is about learning tasks in which the task to be achieved is pre-specified, a suitable technology for the task is chosen and the learning process is experimentally investigated. A more interesting research question is ho... Read More about A role for immunology in 'next generation' robots..

The case for building familiarity into wearables design. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kettley, S., & Smyth, M. (2003, October). The case for building familiarity into wearables design. Paper presented at Seventh IEEE International Symposium on Wearable Computers (ISWC'03), White Plains, New York, USA

This paper examines the issues connected with the development of wearable devices in terms of affective design, that is, as pleasurable products. Wearables, particularly in the context of everyday use, have the ability to become good examples of what... Read More about The case for building familiarity into wearables design..

What is management and what do managers do? A systems theory account (2003)
Journal Article
Charlton, B. G., & Andras, P. (2003). What is management and what do managers do? A systems theory account. Philosophy of Management, 3, 3-15. https://doi.org/10.5840/pom2003332

Systems Theory analyses the world in terms of communications and divides the natural world into environment and systems. Systems are characterised by their high density of communications and tend to become more complex and efficient with time, usuall... Read More about What is management and what do managers do? A systems theory account.

Borrowed theory: applying exchange theories in information science research. (2003)
Journal Article
Hall, H. (2003). Borrowed theory: applying exchange theories in information science research. Library and Information Science Research, 25(3), 287-306. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0740-8188%2803%2900031-8

This article discusses the applicability of “borrowing” theory originally developed in other disciplines to information science research, and, in particular, the analytical concepts and assumptions of social exchange theory as a framework for explori...

Controlling a simulated Khepera with an XCS classifier system with memory. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Webb, A., Hart, E., Ross, P., & Lawson, A. (2003). Controlling a simulated Khepera with an XCS classifier system with memory.

Autonomous agents commonly suffer from perceptual aliasing in which differing situations are perceived as identical by the robots sensors, yet require different courses of action. One technique for addressing this problem is to use additional interna... Read More about Controlling a simulated Khepera with an XCS classifier system with memory..

Alternative sampling methods for estimating multivariate normal probabilities (2003)
Journal Article
Sándor, Z., & András, P. (2004). Alternative sampling methods for estimating multivariate normal probabilities. Journal of Econometrics, 120(2), 207-234. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0304-4076%2803%2900212-4

We study the performance of alternative sampling methods for estimating multivariate normal probabilities through the GHK simulator. The sampling methods are randomized versions of some quasi-Monte Carlo samples (Halton, Niederreiter, Niederreiter–Xi...
