support the next generation of evolving infohabitants in
a way that makes that infrastructure univers... Read More about A distributed resource evolutionary algorithm machine..

Combining linking and focusing techniques for a multiple hierarchy visualisation (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Graham, M., & Kennedy, J. (2001, July). Combining linking and focusing techniques for a multiple hierarchy visualisation. Presented at Proceedings Fifth International Conference on Information Visualisation, London, England, UK,

Visualisations have previously combined linking and brushing operations successfully. However, none to our knowledge have combined linking and focussing techniques. We describe the motivation behind developing such a technique, and show how our visua... Read More about Combining linking and focusing techniques for a multiple hierarchy visualisation.

Mundane knowledge management and microlevel organizational learning: an ethological approach. (2002)
Journal Article
Davenport, E. (2002). Mundane knowledge management and microlevel organizational learning: an ethological approach. Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 53, 1038-1046. https://doi.org/10.1002/asi.10110

Knowledge management is discussed in the context of articulation work, that is routine interactions in groups of local practice. In such situations, knowledge is largely acquired and maintained by learning from the appropriate behavior of others by m...

Towards visualising temporal features in large scale microarray time-series data. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Craig, P., Kennedy, J., & Cumming, A. (2002, July). Towards visualising temporal features in large scale microarray time-series data. Presented at 6th International Conference on Information Visualisation - IV2002

Current techniques for visualising large-scale microarray data are unable to present temporal features without reducing the number of elements being displayed. This paper introduces a technique that overcomes this problem by combining a novel display... Read More about Towards visualising temporal features in large scale microarray time-series data..

Hyper-heuristics: learning to combine simple heuristics in bin-packing problems. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ross, P., Schulenburg, S., Marin-Blazquez, J. G., & Hart, E. (2002, July). Hyper-heuristics: learning to combine simple heuristics in bin-packing problems. Presented at Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO)

Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) often appear to be a ‘black box’, neither offering worst-case bounds nor any guarantee of optimality when used to solve individual problems. They can also take much longer than non-evolutionary methods. We
try to addres... Read More about Hyper-heuristics: learning to combine simple heuristics in bin-packing problems..

Hype and spin in the NHS (2002)
Journal Article
Andras, P., & Charlton, B. (2002). Hype and spin in the NHS. British Journal of General Practice, 52(479), 520-521

Interactive multimedia and learning: realising the benefits. (2002)
Thesis
Cairncross, S. Interactive multimedia and learning: realising the benefits. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4628

Interactive multimedia has the potential to create high quality learning environments
that actively engage the learner. For example it can combine explanation with
illustrative examples, on-line assessment with feedback and provide opportunities to... Read More about Interactive multimedia and learning: realising the benefits..

Novel visualisation techniques for working with multiple, overlapping classification hierarchies (2002)
Journal Article
Graham, M., Watson, M. F., & Kennedy, J. (2002). Novel visualisation techniques for working with multiple, overlapping classification hierarchies. Taxon, 51, 351-358

A Java-based program is presented that provides a visualisation tool for display of and comparison between classification hierarchies. Taxa, or groups of taxa, can be tracked across multiple, overlapping classifications. Recognition of congruence and...

The equivalence of support vector machine and regularization neural networks (2002)
Journal Article
Andras, P. (2002). The equivalence of support vector machine and regularization neural networks. Neural Processing Letters, 15, 97-104. https://doi.org/10.1023/A%3A1015292818897

We show in this brief paper the equivalence of the support vector machine and regularization neural networks. We prove both implication sides of the equivalence in a generally applicable way. The novelty lies in the effective construction of the regu... Read More about The equivalence of support vector machine and regularization neural networks.

Toward statistically valid population decoding models (2002)
Journal Article
Andras, P., Panzeri, S., & Young, M. P. (2002). Toward statistically valid population decoding models. Neurocomputing, 44, 269-274. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0925-2312%2802%2900349-1

8We focus in this paper on the methodology of building statistically valid population code read-out models for spike train data. A new method is explored, which uses Bayesian networks to formalize the read-out model, Monte Carlo validation to check t... Read More about Toward statistically valid population decoding models.

Improving street based routing using building block mutations. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Urquhart, N. B., Ross, P., Paechter, B., & Chisholm, K. (2002, April). Improving street based routing using building block mutations. Presented at Workshops on Applications of Evolutionary Computation EvoWorkshops 2002, Kinsale, Ireland

Street based routing (SBR) is a real-world inspired routing problem that builds routes within an urban area for mail deliveries. The authors have previously attempted to solve this problem using an Evolutionary Algorithm (EA). In this paper the autho...

Implementation of the Prometheus Taxonomic Model: a comparison of database models and query languages and an introduction to the Prometheus Object-Oriented Model. (2002)
Journal Article
Raguenaud, C., Pullan, M. R., Watson, M. F., Kennedy, J., Newman, M. F., & Barclay, P. J. (2002). Implementation of the Prometheus Taxonomic Model: a comparison of database models and query languages and an introduction to the Prometheus Object-Oriented Model. Taxon, 51(1), 131-142. https://doi.org/10.2307/1554970

Types of databases commonly used for handling taxonomic data are compared. It is shown that none of the existing types of databases fully support the requirements of taxonomic data. The results of this comparison provide a rationale for the design an...
