Mental models, magical thinking and individual differences. (2009)
Journal Article
Turner, P., & Sobolewska, E. (2009). Mental models, magical thinking and individual differences. Human technology an interdisciplinary journal on humans in ICT environments, 5, 90-113

Broadly, there are two mutually exclusive accounts of how people (non-specialist users) reason about and conceptualize interactive technology. The first is based on classical cognitive psychology and is characterized by the term mental model. The sec... Read More about Mental models, magical thinking and individual differences..

Towards a new disciplinary framework for contemporary design practice. (2009)
Journal Article
Dykes, T. H., Rodgers, P. A., Dykes, T., Rodgers, P., & Smyth, M. (2009). Towards a new disciplinary framework for contemporary design practice. CoDesign, 5(2), 99-116. https://doi.org/10.1080/15710880902910417

This paper argues for a consistent and new design-specific disciplinary framework that will provide a better understanding of emergent design practice. Design today is characterised by a blurring of traditional design domains (Sanders 2006) and desig... Read More about Towards a new disciplinary framework for contemporary design practice..

An assessment of self-managed P2P streaming (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alhaisoni, M., Liotta, A., & Ghanbari, M. (2009). An assessment of self-managed P2P streaming. In 2009 Fifth International Conference on Autonomic and Autonomous Systems (34-39). https://doi.org/10.1109/ICAS.2009.47

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) IPTV applications have increasingly been considered as a potential approach to online broadcasting. These overcome fundamental client-server issues and introduce new, self-management features that help improving performance. Recent... Read More about An assessment of self-managed P2P streaming.

CO2Y the intelligent green solution: minimising carbon emissions by maximising shared travel opportunity. (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Urquhart, N. B., McEwan, T., Holden, R., & Vogogias, T. (2009, May). CO2Y the intelligent green solution: minimising carbon emissions by maximising shared travel opportunity. Paper presented at Scottish Transport Applications Research Conference

It is in the interests of everybody that the environment is protected. In view of the recent leaps in environmental awareness it would seem timely and sensible, therefore, for people to pool vehicle resources to minimise the damaging impact of emissi...

Parallel Optimisation of Pump Schedules with a Thread-Safe Variant of EPANET Toolkit (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
López-Ibáñez, M., Prasad, D. T., & Paechter, B. (2009). Parallel Optimisation of Pump Schedules with a Thread-Safe Variant of EPANET Toolkit. In Water Distribution Systems Analysis 2008. https://doi.org/10.1061/41024%28340%2940

The optimisation of pump operations in water distribution networks is an ongoing research topic motivated by the great energy savings that a careful scheduling of pumps may achieve. State-of-the-art approaches often combine an optimisation algorithm,... Read More about Parallel Optimisation of Pump Schedules with a Thread-Safe Variant of EPANET Toolkit.
