Investigating design issues in household environments. (2003)
Journal Article
Baillie, L., Benyon, D., Macaulay, C., & Petersen, M. G. (2003). Investigating design issues in household environments. Cognition, Technology and Work, 5, 33-43. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10111-002-0116-5

This paper argues that the current involvement of end users in the design of technological artefacts is too superficial. It is common to involve people in requirements generation, but rarely in product inception or design. A study is reported involvi...

A new scalable broadcast algorithm for multiport meshes with minimum communication steps (2003)
Journal Article
Ould-Khaoua, M., Al-Dubai, A., Al-Dubai, A., & Ould-Khaoua, M. (2003). A new scalable broadcast algorithm for multiport meshes with minimum communication steps. Microprocessors and Microsystems, 27(3), 101-113. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0141-9331%2802%2900094-7

Many broadcast algorithms have been proposed for the mesh in the literature. However, most of these algorithms do not exhibit good scalability properties as the network size increases. As a consequence, most existing broadcast algorithms cannot suppo... Read More about A new scalable broadcast algorithm for multiport meshes with minimum communication steps.

A scalable broadcast algorithm for multiport meshes with minimum communication steps (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Al-Dubai, A., & Ould-Khaoua, M. (2002, December). A scalable broadcast algorithm for multiport meshes with minimum communication steps. Presented at Ninth International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Systems, 2002. Proceedings., Taiwan, China

Many broadcast algorithms have been proposed for the mesh over the past decade. However, most of these algorithms do not exhibit good scalability properties as the network size increases. As a consequence, most existing broadcast algorithms cannot su... Read More about A scalable broadcast algorithm for multiport meshes with minimum communication steps.

Solving Real-World Routing Problems using Evolutionary Algorithms and Multi-Agent-Systems. (2003)
Thesis
Urquhart, N. B. Solving Real-World Routing Problems using Evolutionary Algorithms and Multi-Agent-Systems. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2748

This thesis investigates the solving of routing problems using Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs). Routing problems are known to be hard and may possess complex search spaces. Evolutionary algorithms are potentially powerful tools for finding solutions wi... Read More about Solving Real-World Routing Problems using Evolutionary Algorithms and Multi-Agent-Systems..

A systematic investigation of GA performance on jobshop scheduling problems. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., & Ross, P. (2003). A systematic investigation of GA performance on jobshop scheduling problems. In Real-World Applications of Evolutionary Computing (280-289). https://doi.org/10.1007/3-540-45561-2_27

Although there has been a wealth of work reported in the literature on the application of genetic algorithms (GAs) to jobshop scheduling problems, much of it contains some gross over-generalisations, i.e that the observed performance of a GA on a sma...

Electronic Democracy and Young People (2003)
Journal Article
Macintosh, A., Robson, E., Smith, E., & Whyte, A. (2003). Electronic Democracy and Young People. Social Science Computer Review, 21(1), 43-54. https://doi.org/10.1177/0894439302238970

This article examines action to address young people’s apathy to the democratic process and politics in general, by considering possibilities for using information and communication technology to engage young people. The article describes two e-democ... Read More about Electronic Democracy and Young People.

E-voting: the powerful symbol of e-democracy (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smith, E., & Macintosh, A. (2003, September). E-voting: the powerful symbol of e-democracy. Presented at Second International Conference, EGOV 2003, Czech Republic

This paper focuses on an Internet-enabled remote voting system for a young people's parliament in the Highland region of Scotland. The parliament was established to increase young people's participation in local government. Two elections have been he... Read More about E-voting: the powerful symbol of e-democracy.

Supporting taxonomic names in cell and molecular biology databases (2003)
Journal Article
Kennedy, J. (2003). Supporting taxonomic names in cell and molecular biology databases. OMICS, 7(1), 13-16. https://doi.org/10.1089/153623103322006508

Groups of organisms require labels or names to refer to them; however, the idea of a single static name index, although tempting for its simplicity, is both impractical and unadvisable as a basis for referring to organisms for which data has been col...

Members of the Scottish Parliament on the net: using internet based technologies in the Scottish Parliament. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smith, C. F., & Webster, W. (2003, January). Members of the Scottish Parliament on the net: using internet based technologies in the Scottish Parliament. Paper presented at Government and Democracy in the Information Ade (GaDIA) 'Cyberdemocracy' Working Group

This paper presents research undertaken into the use of Internet Based Technologies (IBTs) by Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs). It is based on research findings from a survey of MSPs conducted in Spring 2002. The survey examines MSPs experie...
