Mobile agents and processes using communicating process architectures. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J., Haschke, J., & Chalmers, K. (2008, September). Mobile agents and processes using communicating process architectures. Presented at 31st Communicating Process Architectures 2008

The mobile agent concept has been developed over a number of years and is widely accepted as one way of solving problems that require the achievement of a goal that cannot be serviced at a specific node in a network. The concept of a mobile process i... Read More about Mobile agents and processes using communicating process architectures..

Bringing social and technological innovation to the work of national, regional and local elected representatives: the eRepresentative project. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Karamagioli, E., Koulolias, V., Smith, C. F., & Cruickshank, P. (2008, September). Bringing social and technological innovation to the work of national, regional and local elected representatives: the eRepresentative project

Members of elected assemblies have a number of overlapping roles. eRepresentative is a project of the European Commission’s IST programme, and has investigated the potential for ICT support for the committee-based legislative role in a secure, mobile...

Realising the potential of technology tools: expecting the unexpected. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hall, H. (2008). Realising the potential of technology tools: expecting the unexpected. In C. Turner (Ed.), Proceedings of Online Information 2008 (23-25)

With reference to the domain of sociotechnical studies, this paper establishes reasons why expectations of technology implementations are often misguided. Examples from a number of scenarios drawn from academic research demonstrate the phenomena of "... Read More about Realising the potential of technology tools: expecting the unexpected..

The minimum information about a genome sequence (MIGS) specification (2008)
Journal Article
Field, D., Garrity, G., Gray, T., Morrison, N., Selengut, J., Sterk, P., …Wipat, A. (2008). The minimum information about a genome sequence (MIGS) specification. Nature Biotechnology, 26, 541-547. https://doi.org/10.1038/nbt1360

With the quantity of genomic data increasing at an exponential rate, it is imperative that these data be captured electronically, in a standard format. Standardization activities must proceed within the auspices of open-access and international worki... Read More about The minimum information about a genome sequence (MIGS) specification.

MAMBO: Membership-Aware Multicast with Bushiness Optimisation. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fan, L., Taylor, H., & Trinder, P. (2008). MAMBO: Membership-Aware Multicast with Bushiness Optimisation.

Efficient application-level multicast (ALM) is an important research area supporting applications such as P2P file sharing, multi-player online games, and multimedia streaming. Although some applications only require a best-effort service, others hav... Read More about MAMBO: Membership-Aware Multicast with Bushiness Optimisation..

Computing the State of Specknets: further analysis of an innate immune-inspired model. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Davoudani, D., Hart, E., & Paechter, B. (2008, August). Computing the State of Specknets: further analysis of an innate immune-inspired model

Specknets consist of hundreds of miniature devices, which are each capable of processing data and communicating wirelessly across short distances. Such networks, with their great complexity, pose considerable challenges for engineers due to the unrel...

Book Chapter
Davenport, E., & Rasmussen, L. (2008). Knowledge networking in a public service agency: contextual challenges and infrastructure issues. In T. K. Srikantaiah, & M. Koenig (Eds.), Knowledge Management in Practice: Connections and Context (445-462). Information Today, Inc

The chapter presents a study of knowledge networking in a public sector agency (PuSA) in the UK, where a number of knowledge management initiatives have been introduced since the inception of the UK ‘Modernising government’ programme of 1999. PuSa is... Read More about Knowledge networking in a public service agency: contextual challenges and infrastructure issues..

Using eye-tracking to evaluate label alignment in online forms (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Das, S., McEwan, T., & Douglas, D. (2008, October). Using eye-tracking to evaluate label alignment in online forms

We analyse the usability of different label positions in online forms, using an eye-tracking system, with a small sample of UK university-educated users. The results unexpectedly contradict Wroblewski, and recommend right-aligned labels, at least in... Read More about Using eye-tracking to evaluate label alignment in online forms.

Going beyond the 'library': the current work of the Scottish Information Literacy Project. (2008)
Journal Article
Crawford, J., & Irving, C. (2008). Going beyond the 'library': the current work of the Scottish Information Literacy Project. Library and information research, 32, 29-37

Reviews briefly the origins of the Scottish Information Literacy Project from its origins in 2004 as a project solely devoted to developing a National Information Literacy Framework for Scotland to the present time. The project now encompasses workpl... Read More about Going beyond the 'library': the current work of the Scottish Information Literacy Project..
