Landscaping personification technologies: from interactions to relationships (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Benyon, D., & Mival, O. (2008, April). Landscaping personification technologies: from interactions to relationships. Presented at Proceeding of the twenty-sixth annual CHI conference extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems - CHI '08

Personification technologies are technologies that encourage people to anthropomorphize. These technologies try to get people to form relationships with them rather than simply interact with them. They may do this through having behaviours that encou... Read More about Landscaping personification technologies: from interactions to relationships.

Optimization of MPRM functions using tabular techniques and genetic algorithms. (2008)
Journal Article
Al-Jassani, B. A., Urquhart, N. B., & Almaini, A. E. A. (2008). Optimization of MPRM functions using tabular techniques and genetic algorithms. The Mediterranean journal of electronics and communications, 4, 115-125

This paper presents new techniques and algorithms to compute and optimize Mixed Polarity Reed Muller logic functions (MPRM) using Tabular techniques and Genetic Algorithms (GA). The first algorithm is used for bidirectional conversion between Fixed P... Read More about Optimization of MPRM functions using tabular techniques and genetic algorithms..

Towards QoS aware collective communications: from theory to practice: design & analysis of highly parallel multicast & broadcast algorithms. (2008)
Book
Al-Dubai, A. (2008). Towards QoS aware collective communications: from theory to practice: design & analysis of highly parallel multicast & broadcast algorithms. German Publishing House, VDM Verlag

Inter-processor communication in interconnectionnetworks can create bottlenecks for scalable parallelimplementations of computationally intensiveapplications. Multicast and broadcast are generallythe most fundamental communication operationsrequired...

Generative aspect-oriented component adaptation (2008)
Journal Article
Feng, Y., Liu, X., Liu, X., Feng, Y., & Kerridge, J. (2008). Generative aspect-oriented component adaptation. IET Software, 2(2), 149. https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-sen%3A20070049

As a solution to eliminating component mismatches, a generative aspect- oriented approach to component adaptation is presented. The approach enjoys high level of automation and capability of deep level adaptation, which is achieved in an aspect-orien... Read More about Generative aspect-oriented component adaptation.

A Sustainable Service-Oriented B2C Framework for Small Businesses (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Liu, X., & Ye, H. (2008, December). A Sustainable Service-Oriented B2C Framework for Small Businesses. Presented at 2008 IEEE International Symposium on Service-Oriented System Engineering, Jhongli, Taiwan

Electronic commerce is fast expanding all over the world. Currently most B2C (business to customer) electronic commerce focuses on retailing and other online services, such as online banking. Compared with large-scale enterprises and organizations, s... Read More about A Sustainable Service-Oriented B2C Framework for Small Businesses.

Simulation of the research process (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Niazi, M., Hussain, A., Baig, A., & Bhatti, S. (2008, December). Simulation of the research process. Presented at 2008 Winter Simulation Conference, Miami, FL, USA

This paper presents first steps towards the development of a formal model of the research process. We evaluate the use of simulation as a tool for the evaluation of research strategies in nascent research organizations faced with the absence of signi...

Characterization of signaling and traffic in Joost (2008)
Journal Article
Alhaisoni, M., & Liotta, A. (2009). Characterization of signaling and traffic in Joost. Peer-to-Peer Networking and Applications, 2, 75-83. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12083-008-0015-5

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) IPTV applications have increasingly been considered as a potential approach to online broadcasting. Recently, many applications such as PPlive, PPStream, and Sopcast have been deployed to deliver live streaming via P2P. One of the...

Adoption of information and communication technologies for educational purposes in Malawian Secondary Schools (2008)
Thesis
Ziba, A. S. K. Adoption of information and communication technologies for educational purposes in Malawian Secondary Schools. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3798

The adoption of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in Least Developed Countries (LDCs) has often been motivated by ideas of bridging the digital divide and promoting socio-economic progress within these countries. For example, many LDC... Read More about Adoption of information and communication technologies for educational purposes in Malawian Secondary Schools.

Views on chemical safety information and influences on chemical disposal behaviour in the UK (2008)
Journal Article
Hinks, J., Bush, J., Andras, P., Garratt, J., Pigott, G., Kennedy, A., & Pless-Mulloli, T. (2009). Views on chemical safety information and influences on chemical disposal behaviour in the UK. Science of the Total Environment, 407(4), 1299-1306. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2008.10.056

This study examined how groups representing four tiers in the chemical supply chain (manufacturers, vendors, workers and consumers) understood safety information, and the factors that influenced disposal behaviour. Data from seven, semi-structured, f... Read More about Views on chemical safety information and influences on chemical disposal behaviour in the UK.
