Using graphical information systems to improve vehicle routing problem instances. (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Urquhart, N. B., Scott, C., & Hart, E. (2013, July). Using graphical information systems to improve vehicle routing problem instances. Presented at 15th annual conference companion on Genetic and evolutionary computation

This paper makes the assertion that vehicle routing rearch has produced increasingly more powerful problem solvers, but has not increased the realism or compexity of typical problem instances. This paper argues that the time has come of use realistic... Read More about Using graphical information systems to improve vehicle routing problem instances..

Generating single and multiple cooperative heuristics for the one dimensional bin packing problem using a single node genetic programming island model. (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sim, K., & Hart, E. (2013, July). Generating single and multiple cooperative heuristics for the one dimensional bin packing problem using a single node genetic programming island model. Presented at 15th annual conference on Genetic and evolutionary computation

Novel deterministic heuristics are generated using Single Node Genetic Programming for application to the One Dimensional Bin Packing Problem. First a single deterministic heuristic was evolved that minimised the total number of bins used when applie...

A Practical Steganographic Approach for Matroska Based High Quality Video Files (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pitropakis, N., Lambrinoudakis, C., Geneiatakis, D., & Gritzalis, D. (2013, March). A Practical Steganographic Approach for Matroska Based High Quality Video Files. Presented at 2013 Workshops of 27th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (WAINA), Barcelona, Spain

Several steganographic algorithms have been proposed for protecting message secrecy against unauthorized "reads". The most used method for hiding a message relies on embedding the secret message in Least Significant Bit (LSB) on the cover object. Tho...

Building Employer Partnerships: a regional placement perspective. (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smith, S., & Smith, C. F. (2013, July). Building Employer Partnerships: a regional placement perspective. Paper presented at HEA Annual Conference

The case for paid placements as transformational for students has been made; indeed the Wilson report (A Review of Business- University Collaboration, http://www.gov.uk) exhorts all universities to consider offering placements on their degrees, in re...

Success factors for organisational information systems development projects: a Scottish suppliers’ perspective (2013)
Thesis
Irvine, R. J. Success factors for organisational information systems development projects: a Scottish suppliers’ perspective. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6125

Organisational information systems development (OISD) projects have long been associated with failure. Not surprisingly, the cost of these failures is enormous. Yet, despite numerous studies, understanding of real-world projects is limited. In partic...

Binary matrix for pedestrian tracking in infrared images (2013)
Thesis
Grama, K. Binary matrix for pedestrian tracking in infrared images. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6153

The primary goal of this thesis is to present a robust low compute cost pedestrian tracking system for use with thermal infra-red images. Pedestrian tracking employs two distinct image analysis tasks, pedestrian detection and path tracking. This thes... Read More about Binary matrix for pedestrian tracking in infrared images.

Dynamic probabilistic routing discovery and broadcast schemes for high mobility Ad-hoc networks (2013)
Thesis
Bani Khalaf, M. Dynamic probabilistic routing discovery and broadcast schemes for high mobility Ad-hoc networks. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6151

Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) have lately come to be widely used in everyday applications. Their usability and capability have attracted the interest of both commercial organizations and research communities. Recently, the Vehicular Ad-hoc Network...

New knowledge creation within manufacturing: a pattern analysis of behaviours and interactions that underpin knowledge creation and innovation in a large German automotive manufacturer. (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Auernhammer, J. M., & Hall, H. (2013, June). New knowledge creation within manufacturing: a pattern analysis of behaviours and interactions that underpin knowledge creation and innovation in a large German automotive manufacturer. Paper presented at Information: interactions and impact (i3) 2013

Organisational culture is regularly cited in the knowledge management literature as a barrier to information and knowledge sharing (for example, Hall & Goody, 2007, p. 182). In addition, it has been noted that the degree of success of knowledge manag...
