Journal Article
Lim, S., Qin, S., Prieto, P., Wright, D., & Shackleton, J. (2004). A study of sketching behaviour to support free-form surface modelling from on-line sketching. Design Studies, 25(4), 393-413. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.destud.2003.10.008

This paper presents our experimental studies on sketching behaviour, processing and individual preference through questionnaire and sketch observation. This study has been carried out to obtain the barebones criteria that will be adopted to develop a...

We consider the design of multiple transit lines in a network and present a mixed integer formulation for this multiple-route transit network design problem (MRTNDP). With the introduction of node labels, the formulation can exploit the route structu... Read More about A mixed integer formulation for multiple-route transit network design..

A processual analysis of HRM-based change. (2003)
Journal Article
Francis, H., & Sinclair, J. (2003). A processual analysis of HRM-based change. Organization, 10(4), 685-706. https://doi.org/10.1177/13505084030104004

This article examines the emergence and development of HRM-based change within two private sector manufacturing organizations. We draw upon discourse theory to open up fresh insights into the uncertain and complex nature of organizational change, spe... Read More about A processual analysis of HRM-based change..

Expansion of logical function in the OR-coincidence system and the transform between it and maxterm expansion. (2003)
Journal Article
Cheng, J., Chen, X., Faraj, K., & Almaini, A. E. A. (2003). Expansion of logical function in the OR-coincidence system and the transform between it and maxterm expansion. IEE proceedings. Computers and digital techniques, 150, 397-402. https://doi.org/10.1049/ip-cdt%3A20030969

Based on the features of coincidence operation, a canonical OR coincidence (COC) expansion of logical functions in the OR-coincidence algebraic system is proposed, and its mapping expression (dj-map) is given. Then two new operations are introduced a... Read More about Expansion of logical function in the OR-coincidence system and the transform between it and maxterm expansion..

Countering design exclusion through inclusive design (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Keates, S., & Clarkson, P. J. (2003, November). Countering design exclusion through inclusive design. Presented at CUU '03 Conference on Universal Usability 2003, Vancouver, BC, Canada

The world population is aging and the number of people who are experiencing a loss of functional capability is also on the increase. There is a need to design ?inclusive? products to accommodate this wider range of capabilities and to develop metrics... Read More about Countering design exclusion through inclusive design.

What is management and what do managers do? A systems theory account (2003)
Journal Article
Charlton, B. G., & Andras, P. (2003). What is management and what do managers do? A systems theory account. Philosophy of Management, 3, 3-15. https://doi.org/10.5840/pom2003332

Systems Theory analyses the world in terms of communications and divides the natural world into environment and systems. Systems are characterised by their high density of communications and tend to become more complex and efficient with time, usuall... Read More about What is management and what do managers do?
