Development of risk analysis models for decision-making in project management. (2001)
Thesis
Guo, Q. L. Development of risk analysis models for decision-making in project management. (Thesis). Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2745

Risks and uncertainties are inherent in construction projects and if neglected these risks often lead to project cost and time overruns. Traditional methods of forecasting risks
rely upon intuition and 'feel' which has proved inadequate for the need... Read More about Development of risk analysis models for decision-making in project management..

Who dunnit? Metatags and hyperauthorship (2001)
Journal Article
Davenport, E., & Cronin, B. (2001). Who dunnit? Metatags and hyperauthorship. Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 52(9), 770-773. https://doi.org/10.1002/asi.1123

Multiple authorship is a topic of growing concern in a number of scientific domains. When, as is increasingly common, scholarly articles and clinical reports have scores or even hundreds of authors - what Cronin (in press) has termed hyperauthorship... Read More about Who dunnit? Metatags and hyperauthorship.

Agent motion planning with GAs enhanced by memory models. (2001)
Journal Article
Bot, M., Urquhart, N. B., & Chisholm, K. (2001). Agent motion planning with GAs enhanced by memory models. Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference, 227-234

The Tartarus problem may be considered a benchmark problem in the field of robotics. A robotic agent is required to move a number of blocks to the edge of an environment. The location of the blocks and position of the robot is unknown initially. The... Read More about Agent motion planning with GAs enhanced by memory models..

Individual differences and inclusive design. (2001)
Book Chapter
Benyon, D., Crerar, A., & Wilkinson, S. (2001). Individual differences and inclusive design. In C. Stephanidis (Ed.), User interfaces for all: Concepts, methods and tools (21-46). Lawrence Erlbaum

Usability is widely recognised to be as important as functionality to the success of interactive computer systems. However, even where usability is considered seriously, the scope of thinking tends to be restricted to the so called 'average' users in...

Investigating ubiquitous computing in the home. (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Baillie, L., & Benyon, D. (2001, September). Investigating ubiquitous computing in the home

In this paper, we describe a series of workshops which were carried out in homes of five
families in Scotland. The aim of the workshops was to explore the requirements that people have for
new technologies in a household environment. The workshops... Read More about Investigating ubiquitous computing in the home..

Towards optimal broadcasting in wormhole-routed meshes (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Al-Dubai, A., Ould-Khaoua, M., & Mackenzie, L. (2001, June). Towards optimal broadcasting in wormhole-routed meshes. Presented at PDPTA '2001

Most existing broadcast algorithms proposed for the mesh do not scale well with the network size. Furthermore, they have been mainly based on deterministic routing, which cannot exploit the alternative paths provided by mesh topology to reduce commun...

Visualising multiple overlapping classification hierarchies. (2001)
Thesis
Graham, M. Visualising multiple overlapping classification hierarchies. (Thesis). Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2430

The revision or reorganisation of hierarchical data sets can result in many possible hierarchical classifications composed of the same or overlapping data sets existing in parallel with each other. These data sets are difficult for people to handle a... Read More about Visualising multiple overlapping classification hierarchies..
