Amnesia: Neuropsychological Interpretation and Artificial Neural Network Simulation (1998)
Journal Article
Opre, A., & Andras, P. (1998). Amnesia: Neuropsychological Interpretation and Artificial Neural Network Simulation. Cognition, Brain, Behavior: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2(3-4), 315-335

The amnesia syndrome is characterized by normal perceptual, linguistic and intellectual functioning together with an inability to remember explicitly recent events and new information. Amnesic patients generally exhibit spared priming effects on impl... Read More about Amnesia: Neuropsychological Interpretation and Artificial Neural Network Simulation.

Modelling network and system monitoring over the Internet with mobile agents (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Liotta, A., Knight, G., & Pavlou, G. (1998, February). Modelling network and system monitoring over the Internet with mobile agents. Presented at NOMS 98 1998 IEEE Network Operations and Management Symposium, New Orleans, LA, USA

Distributed Network Management is gaining importance due to the explosive growth of the size of computer networks. New management paradigms are being proposed as an alternative to the centralised one, and new technologies and programming languages ar...

CMIS/P is the OSI systems management service and protocol used as the base technology for the telecommunications management network. It is a generic object oriented protocol that provides multiple object access capabilities to managed object clusters...

A software tool for evaluating navigation. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McCall, R., & Benyon, D. (1999, December). A software tool for evaluating navigation. Presented at WebNet World Conference on the WWW and Internet 1999

Traditional methods of usability evaluation ignore some aspects related to navigation. In contrast the navigation in information space paradigm sees the user as situated within the space. The ENiSpace (Evaluating Navigation in Information Space) syst... Read More about A software tool for evaluating navigation..

Political parties in the information age: from 'mass party' to leadership organization? (1998)
Book Chapter
Smith, C. F. (1998). Political parties in the information age: from 'mass party' to leadership organization?. In I. Snellen, & W. Donk (Eds.), Public Administration in an Information Age, A Handbook (175-190). IOS Press

In providing an overview of British political parties on the threshold of the 'information age', this chapter argues that any thorough analysis is incomplete without addressing their use of new information and communications technologies (ICTs). The... Read More about Political parties in the information age: from 'mass party' to leadership organization?.

Some observations about GA-based exam timetabling. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ross, P., Hart, E., & Corne, D. (1997, August). Some observations about GA-based exam timetabling. Presented at Second International Conference, PATAT’97, Toronto, Canada

Although many people have tried using genetic algorithms (GAs) for exam timetabling, far fewer have done systematic investigations to try to determine whether a GA is a good choice of method or not. We have extensively studied GAs that use one partic... Read More about Some observations about GA-based exam timetabling..

An adaptive mutation scheme for a penalty-based graph-colouring GA. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ross, P., & Hart, E. (1998, September). An adaptive mutation scheme for a penalty-based graph-colouring GA

The folklore of evolutionary algorithms still seems to contain some gross over-generalistions, such as that direct encodings are inferior to indirect ones, that penalty-function methods are often poor, and that observed performance on a few instances...

Timetabling the classes of an entire university with an evolutionary algorithm. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Paechter, B., Rankin, B., Cumming, A., & Fogarty, T. C. (1998, September). Timetabling the classes of an entire university with an evolutionary algorithm. Presented at 5th International Conference Parallel Problem Solving from Nature — PPSN V, Amsterdam

This paper describes extensions to an evolutionary algorithm that timetables classes for an entire University. A new method of dealing with multi-objectives is described along with a user interface designed for it. New results are given concerning re...

Improving a lecture timetabling system for university wide use (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Paechter, B., Rankin, B., & Cumming, A. (1997, August). Improving a lecture timetabling system for university wide use. Presented at Second International Conference, PATAT’97, Toronto, Canada

During the academic year 1996/97 the authors were commissioned by their institution to produce an automated timetabling system for use by all departments within the Faculty of Science. The system had to cater for the varying requirements of all the d... Read More about Improving a lecture timetabling system for university wide use.

A software tool for evaluating navigation (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McCall, R., & Benyon, D. (1998, September). A software tool for evaluating navigation. Presented at 13th British Computer Society Annual Conference on Human Computer Interaction, HCI’98

Traditional methods of evaluating the usability of software systems largely ignore the problem of navigation within computer based environments. In contrast the 'Navigation of Information Space' paradigm (Benyon and Höök, 1997) places the navigabilit... Read More about A software tool for evaluating navigation.

Improving maintenance through development experiences. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Liu, X., Yang, H., & Zedan, H. (1998, December). Improving maintenance through development experiences. Presented at WESS '98 - Workshop on Empirical Studies in Software Maintenance

An empirical comparison is made between present approaches/tools of software maintenance and development. The conclusion is that development technology is more mature in many aspects, such as automation, formalism, confidence, understanding of origin...

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lewis, J., Hart, E., & Ritchie, G. (1998, September). A comparison of dominance mechanisms and simple mutation on non-stationary problems. Presented at 5th International Conference on Parallel Problem Solving from Nature PPSN 1998, Amsterdam

It is sometimes claimed that genetic algorithms using diploid representations will be more suitable for problems in which the environment changes from time to time, as the additional information stored in the double chromosome will ensure diversity,...
