Evaluating soundscapes as a means of creating a sense of place (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, P., McGregor, I., Turner, S., & Carroll, F. (2003). Evaluating soundscapes as a means of creating a sense of place.

We report an empirical study into the creation of, and response to, a soundscape of a computer centre. We contrast the use of presence questionnaires, as means of assessing the sense of being-there, against a more phenomenological approach. We con...

Organisational learning: an investigation of response to rapid change in a traditional environment. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Buckner, K., & Davenport, E. (2003). Organisational learning: an investigation of response to rapid change in a traditional environment.

This paper is a case study of 'collective' HCI in a 'top-down' systems project - a very large computing center in a new university in the United Kingdom. The authors present the findings of a small empirical study of computer supported teaching and l...

Preprocessing based solution for the vanishing gradient problem in recurrent neural networks (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Squartini, S., Hussain, A., & Piazza, F. (2003). Preprocessing based solution for the vanishing gradient problem in recurrent neural networks. . https://doi.org/10.1109/ISCAS.2003.1206412

In this paper, a possible solution to the vanishing gradient problem in recurrent neural networks (RNN) is proposed. The main idea consists of pre-processing the signal (a time series typically) through a wavelet decomposition, in order to separate t...

A recurrent multiscale architecture for long-term memory prediction task (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Squartini, S., Hussain, A., & Piazza, F. (2003, April). A recurrent multiscale architecture for long-term memory prediction task. Presented at 2003 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2003. Proceedings. (ICASSP '03)., Hong Kong, China

In the past few years, researchers have been extensively studying the application of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to solving tasks where detection of long term dependencies is required. This paper proposes an original architecture termed the Recu... Read More about A recurrent multiscale architecture for long-term memory prediction task.

Recreating the Botanics: towards a sense of place in virtual environments. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, S., Turner, P., Carroll, F., O'Neill, S., Benyon, D., McCall, R., & Smyth, M. (2003, June). Recreating the Botanics: towards a sense of place in virtual environments. Paper presented at 3rd UK Conference of the Environmental Psychology Network

The EC funded project BENOGO seeks to re-create real places using photo-realistic immersive virtual reality technology and in so doing investigates the nature of presence and sense of place in such environments. We discuss the first stages in our... Read More about Recreating the Botanics: towards a sense of place in virtual environments..

Tools development for testing real time systems rely heavily on frameworks that are capable of delivering the advantages of precise control, the availability of a range of functions and the availability of standardised and reusable components. The ad... Read More about Component-based network test tools platform for network design and maintenance.

Comparing neurophysiological measurements of simulated and real brains (2003)
Journal Article
Andras, P. (2003). Comparing neurophysiological measurements of simulated and real brains. Neurocomputing, 52-54, 677-682. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0925-2312%2802%2900729-4

The paper presents the comparison of simulated brains with real brains by means of statistical properties of neurophysiological measurements. Two neural models are selected to build a simulated column of the primary visual cortex. The first simulatio...

The evolution of cooperation and communication in communities of individuals is a puzzling problem for a wide range of scientific disciplines, ranging from evolutionary theory to the theory and application of multi-agent systems. A key issue is to un... Read More about Environmental risk, cooperation, and communication complexity.

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, April). Mobile agents for routing, topology discovery, and automatic network reconfiguration in ad-hoc networks

Wireless networks and the usage of mobile devices are becoming popular in recent days, especially in creating ad-hoc networks. There is thus scope for developing mobile systems, where devices take an active part of creating a network infrastructure,...
