Pricing digital transport data. (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wigan, M. (1999, January). Pricing digital transport data. Presented at Transportation Research Board 78th Annual Meeting

Building road transport networks for modelling purposes has been a time consuming and error prone task for many years. The rapid development of digital road networks has now provided a reliable and rapid mean of building such networks flexibily and a... Read More about Pricing digital transport data..

Employer transport plans-a case for regulation? (1999)
Journal Article
Rye, T. (1999). Employer transport plans-a case for regulation?. Transport Reviews, 19(1), 13-31. https://doi.org/10.1080/014416499295655

Employer transport plans (ETPs) are increasingly seen by transport planners as one of potential means to manage the demand for private transport. Such plans seek to reduce trips to work by car by providing, through individual employers, a targeted,... Read More about Employer transport plans-a case for regulation?.

From description to requirements: an activity theoretic perspective. (1999)
Journal Article
Turner, P., Turner, S., & Horton, J. (1999). From description to requirements: an activity theoretic perspective. Proceedings of Group’99, 285-295

This paper demonstrates how activity theoretic concepts
can be used in conjunction with an ethnographically
informed approach to derive requirements on a work
situation. We present a case study based on a series of
collaborative design episodes,... Read More about From description to requirements: an activity theoretic perspective..

Scheduling chicken catching - an investigation into the success of a genetic algorithm on a real world scheduling problem. (1999)
Journal Article

Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are a class of evolutionary algorithms that have been successfully
applied to scheduling problems, in particular job-shop and flow-shop type problems
where a number of theoretical benchmarks exist. This work applies a genet... Read More about Scheduling chicken catching - an investigation into the success of a genetic algorithm on a real world scheduling problem..

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J., Welch, P., & Wood, D. (1999, January). Synchronisation primitives for highly parallel discrete event simulations. Presented at HICSS 32 - 32nd Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, Maui, HI, USA

A new set of synchronisation primitives is described that simplifies the control of very large numbers of fine-grained parallel processes. The new primitives are derived from the multi-way event synchronisation and choice defined in communicating seq...

Approximation of chaotic shapes with tree-structured neural networks (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Andras, P. (1999, July). Approximation of chaotic shapes with tree-structured neural networks. Presented at IJCNN'99: International Joint Conference on Neural Networks, Washington, DC, USA
