Chutimaskul, W., & Kerridge, J. (1995). Generic Matrices in occam3(e). In Transputer Research and Applications 7 (NATUG-7): Proceedings of the Seventh Conference of the North American Transputer Users Group (255)

The possibility of enhancing the occam3 type system to support genericity for the purpose of reusability can be realised by means of user-defined parameterised types (UPTs) and overloading. A UPT is a mechanism for the reuse of data types and is empl... Read More about Generic Matrices in occam3(e).

The goal of any designer building a scalable database machine is to ensure that the interface between the relational processing part of the machine and the storage system is independent of the actual storage media. The interface should be as high a l... Read More about W-SQL an interface for scalable, highly parallel, database machines.

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)
Conference Proceeding
Mitchell, K., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. J. (1995). Using a conceptual data language to describe a database and its interface. In C. Goble, & J.

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.
