Simulation of radiation from a microstrip antenna using three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. (1993)
Conference Proceeding
Buchanan, W. J., Gupta, N. K., & Arnold, J. M. (1993). Simulation of radiation from a microstrip antenna using three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method.

The authors have used the FDTD method to model and predict the radiation patterns from a microstrip antenna. One problem in modelling microstrip antennas is that these structures are highly resonant. The authors have described techniques to reduce th... Read More about Simulation of radiation from a microstrip antenna using three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method..

Development of a real time Image analysis system for traffic monitoring applications. (1993)
Conference Proceeding
Thompson, M. S., Wan, C. L., & Binnie, T. D. (1993). Development of a real time Image analysis system for traffic monitoring applications. . https://doi.org/10.4203/ccp.17.8.2

Image processing offers unparalleled potential for traffic monitoring and control. For many years engineers have attempted to perfect the art of automatic data abstraction from sequences of video images. This paper outlines a research project underta...

Automatic Position and Orientation Correction for Automated Assembly Robots (1993)
Conference Proceeding
Rea, H. J., Raeside, R., & Lewis, J. (1993). Automatic Position and Orientation Correction for Automated Assembly Robots. In Proceedings of the Thirtieth International MATADOR Conference, 699-704. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-349-13255-3_88

For assembly purposes, robot accuracy is critical only in small well-defined volumes, such as immediately over a pallet or work table where pieces are being lifted and assembled. Since the volumes are small it is possible to consider the robot system... Read More about Automatic Position and Orientation Correction for Automated Assembly Robots.

An Appreciation of the Subtleties of Shared Channels in occam3 (1993)
Conference Proceeding
Waithe, S., & Kerridge, J. (1993). An Appreciation of the Subtleties of Shared Channels in occam3. In Transputer and Occam Research: New Directions (232-245)

By exploiting virtual channels implemented on the INMOS T9000 transputer, occam3 offers the facility of sharing. This allows us to declare a channel as SHARED which then allows an arbitrary number of processes to communicate across this channel. By m...

Modelling ecological data. (1992)
Conference Proceeding
Barclay, P. J., & Kennedy, J. (1992). Modelling ecological data. In H. Hinterberger, & J. C. French (Eds.), Proceedings of the Sixth International Working Conference on Scientific and Statistical Database Management (77-93)

Ecological surveys generate large quantities of data; database technology has not yet reached its full potential in this area. Here we investigate approaches to modelling ecological data, considering the require- ments for a successful model. An ob... Read More about Modelling ecological data..

Designing at a distance: experiments in remote-synchronous design. (1992)

In Proceedings of OZCHI92- Interface technology: advancing human-computer communication, Computer-Human Interaction Special Interest Group, , () () (44-53)

Control of a large massively parallel database machine using SQL catalogue extensions, and a DSDL in preference to an operating system (1992)
Conference Proceeding
Unwalla, M., & Kerridge, J. (1992). Control of a large massively parallel database machine using SQL catalogue extensions, and a DSDL in preference to an operating system. In Advanced Database Systems: 10th British National Conference on Databases, BNCOD 10 Aberdeen, Scotland, July 6–8, 1992 Proceedings (138-155). https://doi.org/10.1007/3-540-55693-1_36

The IDIOMS parallel database machine supports large applications where integrated OLTP and MIS is required. It can be considered a relational engine, and SQL is used as the MIS query language. We make some comparisons between IDIOMS and other databas...

Regaining the conceptual level in object oriented modelling (1991)
Conference Proceeding
Barclay, P. J., & Kennedy, J. (1991). Regaining the conceptual level in object oriented modelling. In Proceedings of the 9th British National Conference on Databases, Aspects of Databases, (BNCOD 9) (269-305)

This paper attempts to develop a conceptual model for the object oriented description of data. We abstract from various logical model features essential for thinking about data in an object oriented framework. These features are presented through exa...
