Towards self-aware PerAda systems. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., & Paechter, B. (2010, July). Towards self-aware PerAda systems

Pervasive Adaptation (PerAda) refers to massive-scale pervasive information and communication systems which are capable of autonomously adapting to highly dynamic and open technological and user contexts. PerAda systems are thus a special case of col... Read More about Towards self-aware PerAda systems..

Evaluation of fleet safety interventions. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Darby, P., & Raeside, R. (2010). Evaluation of fleet safety interventions. In Proceedings of the 42nd Universities Transport Study Group conference

Work related road traffic fatalities are the largest cause of work fatalities in the UK. It is estimated that 25% of UK road accidents involve someone driving for work. This risk profile makes fleet safety an important topic for study as it can have... Read More about Evaluation of fleet safety interventions..

Pattern browsing and query adjustment for the exploratory analysis and cooperative visualisation of microarray time-course data. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Identifying demand and optimal location for taxi ranks in a liberalized market. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cooper, J. A., Farrell, S., & Simpson, P. (2010). Identifying demand and optimal location for taxi ranks in a liberalized market.

The supply of taxi services can be materially affected within the market as taxi drivers respond to market opportunities, and from the outside, where regulators influence supply through regulation – quality, quantity and/or economic controls, and bes...

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Burrows, L., Turner, S., & Turner, P. (2010). Re-creating Edinburgh: adopting the tourist gaze. In M. Neerincx, & W. Brinkman (Eds.), Proceedings of ECCE 2010

Motivation – The work described in this paper investigated the potential of a low fidelity desktop application using the metaphor of the ‘tourist gaze’ in conveying a sense of place. Research approach – An exploratory study was used, in which an app... Read More about Re-creating Edinburgh: adopting the tourist gaze..

Room occupancy measurement using low-resolution infrared cameras. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Berger, M., & Armitage, A. (2010). Room occupancy measurement using low-resolution infrared cameras. . https://doi.org/10.1049/cp.2010.0521

Measuring room occupancy has always been a desirable endeavour. This could be for security reasons, to save energy or simply for statistical reasons. Recently the use of thermal imaging systems in this area has increased as these systems became cheap... Read More about Room occupancy measurement using low-resolution infrared cameras..
