Engaging photorealistic VR: An aesthetic process of interaction. (2008)
Thesis
Carroll, F. Engaging photorealistic VR: An aesthetic process of interaction. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2393

This thesis investigates the potential of aesthetics in the design of Human-Computer Interactions (HCI). In particular, it aims to provide a means by which aesthetics can be applied in photorealistic virtual reality (VR) to create ‘engaging’ experien...

Automated responsive web services evolution through generative aspect-oriented component adaptation (2008)
Journal Article
Liu, X., Feng, Y., & Kerridge, J. (2008). Automated responsive web services evolution through generative aspect-oriented component adaptation. International Journal of Computer Applications in Technology, 31(1/2), 83-93. https://doi.org/10.1504/IJCAT.2008.017721

When building service oriented systems, it is often the case that existing web services do not perfectly match user requirements in target systems. To achieve smooth integration and high reusability of web services, mechanisms to support automated ev...

Stimulating revolutionary science with mega-cash prizes (2008)
Journal Article
Charlton, B. G., & Andras, P. (2008). Stimulating revolutionary science with mega-cash prizes. Medical Hypotheses, 70(4), 709-713. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mehy.2008.01.001

We argue that the most ambitious science is intrinsically riskier science, more likely to fail. It is almost always a safer career strategy for the best scientists to seek to extend knowledge more modestly and to build incrementally on existing ideas...

Application areas of AIS: The past, the present and the future (2008)
Journal Article
Hart, E., & Timmis, J. (2008). Application areas of AIS: The past, the present and the future. Applied Soft Computing, 8(1), 191-201. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.asoc.2006.12.004

After a decade of research into the area of artificial immune systems, it is worthwhile to take a step back and reflect on the contributions that the paradigm has brought to the application areas to which it has been applied. Undeniably, there have... Read More about Application areas of AIS: The past, the present and the future.

‘Down-shifting’ among top UK scientists? – The decline of ‘revolutionary science’ and the rise of ‘normal science’ in the UK compared with the USA (2008)
Journal Article
Charlton, B. G., & Andras, P. (2008). ‘Down-shifting’ among top UK scientists? – The decline of ‘revolutionary science’ and the rise of ‘normal science’ in the UK compared with the USA. Medical Hypotheses, 70(3), 465-472. https://doi.org/10.

It is sometimes asserted that UK science is thriving, at other times that it has declined. We suggest that both assertions are partly true because the UK is thriving with respect to the volume of ‘normal’ science production but at the same time decli...

Concept relationship editor: a visual interface to support the assertion of synonymy relationships between taxonomic classifications (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Craig, P., & Kennedy, J. (2008). Concept relationship editor: a visual interface to support the assertion of synonymy relationships between taxonomic classifications. In K. Börner, M. Gröhn, J. Park, J. C. Roberts, M. T. Gröhn, & J. C. Roberts (Eds.),

An increasingly common approach being taken by taxonomists to define the relationships between taxa in alternative hierarchical classifications is to use a set-based notation which states relationship between two taxa from alternative classifications...

Evolutionary optimization of parameters for distributed virtual environments (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Parkin, S. E., Andras, P., & Morgan, G. (2008). Evolutionary optimization of parameters for distributed virtual environments. In 2007 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (1390-1397). https://doi.org/10.1109/CEC.2007.4424633

In a distributed virtual environment interest management schemes attempt to ensure virtual world objects exchange messages only if they are interacting. This provides an opportunity to allow such systems to scale to support many hundreds, even thousa... Read More about Evolutionary optimization of parameters for distributed virtual environments.
