Scrivener, S. A. R., Clark, S., Smyth, M., Harris, D., & Rockoff, T. (1992, November). Designing at a distance: experiments in remote-synchronous design. Presented at OZCHI’92: Interface technology – Advancing human-computer communication

Control of a large massively parallel database machine using SQL catalogue extensions, and a DSDL in preference to an operating system (1992)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Unwalla, M., & Kerridge, J. (1992, July). Control of a large massively parallel database machine using SQL catalogue extensions, and a DSDL in preference to an operating system. Presented at Advanced Database Systems: 10th British National Conference on Databases, BNCOD 10, Aberdeen, Scotland

The IDIOMS parallel database machine supports large applications where integrated OLTP and MIS is required. It can be considered a relational engine, and SQL is used as the MIS query language. We make some comparisons between IDIOMS and other databas...

Semantic integrity for persistent objects (1992)
Journal Article
Barclay, P. J., & Kennedy, J. (1992). Semantic integrity for persistent objects. Information and Software Technology, 34(8), 533-541. https://doi.org/10.1016/0950-5849%2892%2990147-H

Modelling constructs for specifying semantic integrity are reviewed, and their implicit execution semantics discussed. An integrity maintenance model based on these constructs is presented. An implementation of this model in a persistent programming... Read More about Semantic integrity for persistent objects.

The role of task analysis in systems design (1992)
Journal Article
Benyon, D. (1992). The role of task analysis in systems design. Interacting with Computers, 4(1), 102-123. https://doi.org/10.1016/0953-5438%2892%2990015-8

Task analysis and systems analysis are both collections of techniques aimed at the development of interactive computer-based systems. Clearly there must be some relationship between them. However, since the techniques originate from different discipl... Read More about The role of task analysis in systems design.

Adapting systems to differences between individuals (1991)
Journal Article
Jennings, F., Benyon, D., & Murray, D. (1991). Adapting systems to differences between individuals. Acta psychologica, 78(1-3), 243-256. https://doi.org/10.1016/0001-6918%2891%2990013-p

Adaptive systems should be able to accommodate the preferred interface styles of different users. An experiment was conducted in order to determine whether significant differences exist between individuals performing the same task, using different in...

Regaining the conceptual level in object oriented modelling (1991)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barclay, P. J., & Kennedy, J. (1991, July). Regaining the conceptual level in object oriented modelling. Presented at 9th British National Conference on Database - BNCOD9, 1991

This paper attempts to develop a conceptual model for the object oriented description of data. We abstract from various logical model features essential for thinking about data in an object oriented framework. These features are presented through exa...

Simulation of three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method on limited memory systems. (1991)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Buchanan, W. J., & Gupta, N. K. (1991, November). Simulation of three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method on limited memory systems. Presented at International Conference on Computation in Electromagnetics

The authors discuss techniques in the modelling of electromagnetic fields using finite difference time domain (FDTD) methods applied to 80×86-based PCs or limited memory computers. Electrical modelling of structures is currently carried out mainly in... Read More about Simulation of three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method on limited memory systems..

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Garner, S. W., Scrivener, S. A. R., Clarke, A. A., Clark, S., Connolly, J. H., Palmen, H., Schappo, A., & Smyth, M. G. (1991, September). The use of design activity for research into Computer Supported Co-operative Work (CSCW). Presented at 4th Design and technology educational research and curriculum development (National conference)

This paper describes current research at Loughborough University in the field of Computer Supported Co-operative Working (CSCW). The project, which is funded by the Information Engineering Directorate (IED) within the Science and Engineering Research...
