Fault tolerance and network integrity measures: the case of computer-based systems (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Andras, P., Idowu, O., & Periorellis, P. (2006, April). Fault tolerance and network integrity measures: the case of computer-based systems. Presented at AISB'06: Network Analysis in Natural Sciences and Engineering, Bristol

Fault tolerance is a key aspect of the dependability of complex computer-based systems. Fault tolerance may be difficult to measure directly in complex real world systems, and we propose here to measure it in terms of integrity preservation of the sy...

The language of cortical dynamics (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Andras, P. (2006, September). The language of cortical dynamics. Presented at Second International Symposium, CompLife 2006, Cambridge

Cortical dynamics can be recorded in various ways. Theoretical works suggest that analyzing the dynamics of recorded activities might reveal the workings of the underlying neural system. Here we describe the extraction of an activity pattern language... Read More about The language of cortical dynamics.

Faults, errors and failures in communications: a systems theory perspective on organisational structure (2006)
Book Chapter
Andras, P., & Charlton, B. (2006). Faults, errors and failures in communications: a systems theory perspective on organisational structure. In D. Besnard, C. Gacek, & C. B. Jones (Eds.), Structure for Dependability: Computer-Based Systems from an Interdisciplinary Perspective (189-213). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/1-84628-111-3_10

Abstract communications systems theory may be a valuable tool for the description, prediction and control of organizations. An organization is conceptualized as an abstract system of inter-human communications; humans are the main organization 'commu...

Including users with motor impairments in design (2006)
Book Chapter
Keates, S., Trewin, S., & Elliott, J. P. (2006). Including users with motor impairments in design. In C. Ghaoui (Ed.), Encyclopedia of Human Computer Interaction (317-323). Idea Group Inc (IGI). https://doi.org/10.4018/978-1-59140-562-7.ch049

For people with motor impairments, access to, and independent control of, a computer can be an important part of everyday life. However, in order to be of benefit, computer systems must be accessible. Computer use often involves interaction with a gr... Read More about Including users with motor impairments in design.

Hairstans, R., Dodyk, R., Kermani, A., Lawson, R., & Mackenzie, R. (2006, August). Knowledge transfer in timber engineering. Presented at 9th World Conference on Timber Engineering 2006 (WCTE 2006)

Napier University and Oregon Timber Frame Ltd have recently completed an award winning two year project in timber engineering. The project was conducted under the
umbrella of a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) which is a UK Government funded res... Read More about Knowledge transfer in timber engineering.

Comparative field evaluation of the signal control strategy TUC in three traffic networks. (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bielefeldt, C. (2006, January). Comparative field evaluation of the signal control strategy TUC in three traffic networks. Presented at 85th Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board

This paper describes how the recently developed network-wide real-time signal control strategy TUC has been implemented in three traffic networks with quite different traffic and control infrastructure characteristics: Chania, Greece (23 junctions);...

Transport surveillance: social impacts. (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wigan, M., & Clarke, R. A. (2006, September). Transport surveillance: social impacts. Presented at European Transport Conference

The growth in ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems) and other potentially problematic surveillance applications has been occurring at the same time as measures such as data registration and data protection legislation have become mainstream. The accele... Read More about Transport surveillance: social impacts..
