Anchors away - does one size fit all in information systems curriculum development? (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Coady, J., & Berg, T. (2014, April). Anchors away - does one size fit all in information systems curriculum development?. Presented at The UKAIS International Conference on Information Systems

There is much discord and contradiction in academia amongst those who teach on Information System Programmes. Much of the argument is based upon content and structure. This paper argues against having a static or singular centering, or anchoring, str... Read More about Anchors away - does one size fit all in information systems curriculum development?.

Hot topics in CHI: trend maps for visualising research (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Padilla, S., Methven, T. S., Corne, D. W., & Chantler, M. J. (2014, April). Hot topics in CHI: trend maps for visualising research. Presented at 2014 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

The aim of this paper is to introduce a novel method of identifying and visualising research trends in an automated, unbiased way. The output of this we call a 'Trend Map', and in this paper we use it to present an at-a-glance overview of the CHI res... Read More about Hot topics in CHI: trend maps for visualising research.

Design and development of Auralization room at Edinburgh Napier University (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Prokofieva, E., Luciani, C., & McGregor, I. (2014, April). Design and development of Auralization room at Edinburgh Napier University. Presented at 136th International AES Convention, Berlin, Germany

The auralization room was designed as a joint project between School of Engineering and Built Environment and the School of Computing of Edinburgh Napier University. The interior acoustic design specialists conducted the acoustic design of the aurali... Read More about Design and development of Auralization room at Edinburgh Napier University.

Rich Picture: The Role of the Facilitator (2014)
Journal Article
Berg, T. (2015). Rich Picture: The Role of the Facilitator. Systemic Practice and Action Research, 28(1), 67-77. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11213-014-9318-z

Information Systems for complex situations often fail to adequately deliver quality and suitability. One reason for this failure is an inability to identify comprehensive user requirements. Seldom do all stakeholders, especially those ‘invisible’ or... Read More about Rich Picture: The Role of the Facilitator.

Novel Biologically Inspired Approaches to Extracting Online Information from Temporal Data (2014)
Journal Article
Malik, Z. K., Hussain, A., & Wu, J. (2014). Novel Biologically Inspired Approaches to Extracting Online Information from Temporal Data. Cognitive Computation, 6(3), 595-607. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12559-014-9257-0

In this paper, we aim to develop novel learning approaches for extracting invariant features from time series. Specifically, we implement an existing method of solving the generalized eigenproblem and use this to firstly implement the biologically in...

Discrete Logarithms within Computer and Network Security. (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Buchanan, W. J. (2014, April). Discrete Logarithms within Computer and Network Security. Presented at Napier 400 - Numerical Algorithms and Intelligent Software Symposium

As we move into an Information Age, the requirement for computer security increases by the day, only in terms of privacy, but also in terms of proving identity and in verifying the integrity of data. Unfortunately many of the most widely used public... Read More about Discrete Logarithms within Computer and Network Security..

Embedding programming skills to support the student journey in networking, security and digital forensics. (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lawson, A., & Macfarlane, R. (2014, April). Embedding programming skills to support the student journey in networking, security and digital forensics. Paper presented at HEA STEM Annual Learning and Teaching Conference 2014: Enhancing the STEM Student Journey

The development of programming skills by Networking graduates, and Security and Digital Forensics graduates is highly sought after by employers, both in industry, and in academia for staffing research and knowledge exchange projects. Placements offer... Read More about Embedding programming skills to support the student journey in networking, security and digital forensics..

Classifying physical strategies in tangible tasks: a video-coding framework for epistemic actions (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Esteves, A., Bakker, S., Antle, A. N., May, A., Warren, J., & Oakley, I. (2014, April). Classifying physical strategies in tangible tasks: a video-coding framework for epistemic actions. Presented at 32nd annual ACM conference on Human factors in computing systems - CHI EA '14, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Tangible interaction is a compelling interface paradigm that elegantly merges the fluency of physical manipulation with the flexibility of digital content. However, it is currently challenging to understand the real benefits and advantages of tangibl...

How Well Do Computational Features Perceptually Rank Textures? A Comparative Evaluation (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dong, X., Methven, T. S., & Chantler, M. J. (2014, April). How Well Do Computational Features Perceptually Rank Textures? A Comparative Evaluation. Presented at ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval, Glasgow, United Kingdom

Inspired by studies [4, 23, 40] which compared rankings obtained by search engines and human observers, in this paper we compare texture rankings derived by 51 sets of computational features against perceptual texture rankings obtained from a free-gr...
