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?.

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..

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.

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...

An investigation of using music to provide navigation cues. (1998)
Journal Article
LePlâtre, G., & Brewster, S. A. (1998). An investigation of using music to provide navigation cues. Proceedings of the 1998 international conference on Auditory Display(ICAD '98), 19

This paper describes an experiment that investigates new principles for representing hierarchical menus such
as telephone-based interface menus, with non-speech audio. A hierarchy of 25 nodes with a sound for each
node was used. The sounds were des... Read More about An investigation of using music to provide navigation cues..

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..

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...

Beyond navigation as metaphor. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Benyon, D. (1998, September). Beyond navigation as metaphor

With the development of large information spaces such as digital libraries, the notion of user navigation through such spaces has gained prominence. The popular view of navigation is that it is a conscious, goal directed activity in which someone is... Read More about Beyond navigation as metaphor..

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 comparison of dominance mechanisms and simple mutation on non-stationary problems. (1998)
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,...

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...

A heuristic combination method for solving job-shop scheduling problems. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., & Ross, P. (1998, September). A heuristic combination method for solving job-shop scheduling problems

This paper describes a heuristic combination based genetic algorithm, (GA), for tackling dynamic job-shop scheduling problems. Our approach is novel in that the genome encodes a choice of algorithm to be used to produce a set of schedulable operation...

Mechanisms for data interpretation of metrics for OO systems. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Li-Thiao-Te, P., Kennedy, J., & Owens, J. (1998, September). Mechanisms for data interpretation of metrics for OO systems. Presented at 24th International Conference on Technology of Object-Oriented Languages and Systems, TOOLS Asia \'97

A major criticism of metrics for object-oriented
systems design has been their lack in
generating meaningful feedback information.
This paper proposes a data interpretation
method based on visualisation of results
obtained from the method redefi... Read More about Mechanisms for data interpretation of metrics for OO systems..
