Tracing innovation: an activity theoretical approach. (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wiegel, V. (2011). Tracing innovation: an activity theoretical approach. In ECIS 2011 Proceedings

This paper argues that tracing the diffusion of innovation is a challenging endeavour. The difficulty is that an innovation comes into existence as a cognitive and inter-personal idea and transforms over time into tangible and material manifestation....

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wasson, S. (2010). ‘Crying with Phantom Tongue’: the politics of lamentation in Mervyn Peake’s wartime poetry

Recent studies of nation and memory propose a new ethics of mourning in which normative mourning – working through grief, accepting loss, and ultimately finding solace – is increasingly seen as ethically suspect. The challenges normative mourning pos... Read More about ‘Crying with Phantom Tongue’: the politics of lamentation in Mervyn Peake’s wartime poetry..

Planning and optimising organisational travel plans using an evolutionary algorithm. (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Urquhart, N. B. (2011, April). Planning and optimising organisational travel plans using an evolutionary algorithm. Presented at European Conference on the Applications of Evolutionary Computation

Commuting to the workplace is a highly individualistic experience, especially where the private car is the chosen mode of transport. The costs of using cars with low occupancy rates are significant in environmental terms as well as requiring the prov...
