Designing at a distance via real-time designer-to-designer interaction. (1995)
Book Chapter
Scrivener, S. A. R., Harris, D., Clark, S., Rockoff, T., & Smyth, M. (1995). Designing at a distance via real-time designer-to-designer interaction. In S. Greenberg, S. Hayne, & R. Rada (Eds.), Groupware for Real-Time Drawing - A Designers Guide (5-23). McGraw Hill

This paper describes an experiment in which teams of two designers used a shared computer ‘sketchpad’ to generate design concepts for products while geographically separated by a distance of over 16 300km. The aim of the large separation, which inclu... Read More about Designing at a distance via real-time designer-to-designer interaction..

The use of local search suggestion lists for improving the solution of timetable problems with evolutionary algorithms. (1995)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Paechter, B., Cumming, A., & Luchian, H. (1995). The use of local search suggestion lists for improving the solution of timetable problems with evolutionary algorithms. In Evolutionary Computing (86-93). https://doi.org/10.1007/3-540-60469-3_27

This paper presents a new genetic representation for timetabling with evolutionary algorithms. The representation involves the use of suggestion lists for the placement of events into timeslots. A set of recombination operators is defined for the new... Read More about The use of local search suggestion lists for improving the solution of timetable problems with evolutionary algorithms..

Using a conceptual data language to describe a database and its interface (1995)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mitchell, K., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. J. (1995, July). Using a conceptual data language to describe a database and its interface. Presented at 13th British National Conference on Database - BNCOD13, 1995, University of Manchester

We propose a conceptual approach to defining interfaces to databases which uses the features of a fully object oriented data language to specify interface objects combined with database objects. This achieves a uniform, natural way of describing data... Read More about Using a conceptual data language to describe a database and its interface.

This paper presents some of our views on information visualisation and interfaces to databases with respect to the theme of the workshop.

Is intellectual property theft? BI’s hidden ideology. (1995)
Journal Article
Duff, A. (1994). Is intellectual property theft? BI’s hidden ideology. Research strategies : RS, 13, (132-143). ISSN 0734-3310

Discusses the "hidden" ideology in traditional bibliographic instruction's treatment of intellectual property rights and copyright laws, and suggests that protection of these rights constitutes a form of stealing thoughts and ideas that should belong...

MOTION - A New On-line Model for Urban Traffic Signal Control. (1995)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bielefeldt, C., & Busch, F. (1995). MOTION - A New On-line Model for Urban Traffic Signal Control.

This paper presents MOTION, a modular on-line model for urban traffic signal control. It consists of a network and a local level and builds on enhanced traffic state estimation. Special consideration is given to the prioritization of public transit.... Read More about MOTION - A New On-line Model for Urban Traffic Signal Control..

Robot Calibration Using Artificial Neural Networks (1995)
Thesis
Zhong, X. Robot Calibration Using Artificial Neural Networks. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2254583

Robot calibration is an integrated procedure of measurement and data processing to improve and maintain robot positioning accuracy. Existing robot calibration techniques require extensive human intervention and off-line processing, which preclude the... Read More about Robot Calibration Using Artificial Neural Networks.

Stakeholder analysis: the implications for the management of HRD (1995)
Journal Article
Garavan, T. N. (1995). Stakeholder analysis: the implications for the management of HRD. Journal of European industrial training, 19(10), 45-46. doi:10.1108/03090599510095852

Considers some of the issues raised in the previous articles. Presents a number of guiding principles for HRD management and looks at a number of structural mechanisms to make a steerer model of stakeholder management practicable.

Trade union attitudes to training and development:: the road to a more positive and proactive approach? (1995)
Journal Article
Costine, P., & Garavan, T. N. (1995). Trade union attitudes to training and development:: the road to a more positive and proactive approach?. Journal of European industrial training, 19(10), 38-44. doi:10.1108/03090599510095843
