Lattice-based modelling of thesauri. (2008)
Report
Priss, U., & Old, L. J. (2008). Lattice-based modelling of thesauri

This paper revisits ideas about the use of lattices as underlying conceptual structures in information retrieval and machine translation as suggested by researchers in the 1950s and 1960s. It describes how these ideas were originally presented, how... Read More about Lattice-based modelling of thesauri..

A framework for data cleaning in data warehouses (2008)
Journal Article
Peng, T. (2008). A framework for data cleaning in data warehouses. Enterprise Information Systems, 473-478

It is a persistent challenge to achieve a high quality of data in data warehouses. Data cleaning is a crucial task for such a challenge. To deal with this challenge, a set of methods and tools has been developed. However, there are still at least two... Read More about A framework for data cleaning in data warehouses.

MARIAN: A hybrid, metric-driven, agent-based routing protocol for multihop ad-hoc networks (2008)
Thesis
Migas, N. (2008). MARIAN: A hybrid, metric-driven, agent-based routing protocol for multihop ad-hoc networks. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4000

Recent advances in technology provided the ground for highly dynamic, mobile, infrastructure-less networks, namely, ad-hoc networks. Despite their enormous benefits, the full potential cannot be reached unless certain issues are resolved. These mainl...

Visualising the soundfield and soundscape: extending Macaulay and Crerar’s 1998 method (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McGregor, I., Crerar, A., Benyon, D., & LePlâtre, G. (2008). Visualising the soundfield and soundscape: extending Macaulay and Crerar’s 1998 method. In Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Auditory Display

The introduction of effective auditory warnings into a shared environment requires a prior understanding of the existing soundfield and soundscape. Reifying the physical and perceptual auditory environment enables a form of pre-auditioning, as well a...

Ant Colony Optimization for Optimal Control of Pumps in Water Distribution Networks (2008)
Journal Article
López-Ibáñez, M., Prasad, T. D., & Paechter, B. (2008). Ant Colony Optimization for Optimal Control of Pumps in Water Distribution Networks. Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management, 134, 337-346. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%290733-9496%282008%29134%3A4%28337%29

Reducing energy consumption of water distribution networks has never had more significance than today. The greatest energy savings can be obtained by careful scheduling of operation of pumps. Schedules can be defined either implicitly, in terms of ot... Read More about Ant Colony Optimization for Optimal Control of Pumps in Water Distribution Networks.

Semantics-Based Component Repository: State of Arts and a Calculation Rating Factor-based Framework. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Li, C., Liu, X., & Kennedy, J. (2008, July). Semantics-Based Component Repository: State of Arts and a Calculation Rating Factor-based Framework. Presented at COMPSAC '08. 32nd Annual IEEE International Computer Software and Applications, 2008

Nowadays, Component-Based Development (CBD) has been widely used in software engineering. As a core activity in the CBD process, component retrieval has attracted extensive research attention. Despite the research efforts so far, one major problem st... Read More about Semantics-Based Component Repository: State of Arts and a Calculation Rating Factor-based Framework..

Validation of 1-N OT algorithms in privacy-preserving investigations. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kwecka, Z., Buchanan, W. J., & Saliou, L. (2008). Validation of 1-N OT algorithms in privacy-preserving investigations.

Most organisations relay on digital information systems (ISs) in day-to-day operations, and often sensitive data about employees and customers are stored in such systems. This, effectively, makes ISs enhanced surveillance measures, which can reach fu... Read More about Validation of 1-N OT algorithms in privacy-preserving investigations..
