Interfaces to data models: taking a step backwards (1995)
Conference Proceeding
Barclay, P., Crerar, A., & Davidson, K. (1995). Interfaces to data models: taking a step backwards. In Interfaces to Database Systems (IDS94) Proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Interfaces to Database Systems, Lancaster University, 13–15 July 1994 (306-326). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4471-3818-1_17

This paper is concerned with data modelling and the question of how to improve the quality of software tools to provide more effective support for the modeller. With the increasing interest in building intelligent interfaces to databases and associat... Read More about Interfaces to data models: taking a step backwards.

Real-time landmark detection for the mobile robot PARIDE (1995)
Conference Proceeding
Ricotti, M., & Liotta, A. (1995). Real-time landmark detection for the mobile robot PARIDE. In Proceedings Volume 2423, Machine Vision Applications in Industrial Inspection III; (1995) (60-71). https://doi.org/10.1117/12.205526

This paper summarizes the research activity on real time landmark tracking being developed at Robotics Laboratory at Pavia University. A visual tracking system for mobile robot PARIDE navigation is described. The purpose of the tracking system is to... Read More about Real-time landmark detection for the mobile robot PARIDE.

Generic Matrices in occam3(e) (1995)
Conference Proceeding
Chutimaskul, W., & Kerridge, J. (1995). Generic Matrices in occam3(e). In Transputer Research and Applications 7 (NATUG-7): Proceedings of the Seventh Conference of the North American Transputer Users Group (255)

The possibility of enhancing the occam3 type system to support genericity for the purpose of reusability can be realised by means of user-defined parameterised types (UPTs) and overloading. A UPT is a mechanism for the reuse of data types and is empl... Read More about Generic Matrices in occam3(e).

W-SQL an interface for scalable, highly parallel, database machines (1995)
Conference Proceeding
Kerridge, J., Walter, D., & Guiton, R. (1995). W-SQL an interface for scalable, highly parallel, database machines. In C. Goble, & J. Keane (Eds.), Advances in Databases: 13th British National Conference on Databases, BNCOD 13 Manchester, United Kingdom, July 12–14, 1995 Proceedings (263-276). https://doi.org/10.1007/bfb0000552

The goal of any designer building a scalable database machine is to ensure that the interface between the relational processing part of the machine and the storage system is independent of the actual storage media. The interface should be as high a l... Read More about W-SQL an interface for scalable, highly parallel, database machines.

Generic Abstract Data Types in occam'3 (e) (1995)
Conference Proceeding
Chutimaskul, W., & Kerridge, J. (1995). Generic Abstract Data Types in occam'3 (e). In J. Gray, & F. Naghdy (Eds.), Parallel Computing: Technology and Practice : proceedings of the 7th Australian Transputer and Occam user Group Conference (58-67)

This paper describes the library mechanism for defining generic abstract data types (generic ADTs) as an extension to occam3 (occam3(e)). A generic ADT must be able to reuse either base data types or pre-defined data types and existing operations.... Read More about Generic Abstract Data Types in occam'3 (e).

This paper describes an experiment in which teams of two designers used a shared computer ‘sketchpad’ to generate design concepts for products while geographically separated by a distance of over 16 300km. The aim of the large separation, which inclu... Read More about Designing at a distance via real-time designer-to-designer interaction..
