Advanced scheduling methodologies for flexible manufacturing systems using Petri nets and heuristic search (2000)
Conference Proceeding
Moro, A., Yu, H., & Kelleher, G. (2000). Advanced scheduling methodologies for flexible manufacturing systems using Petri nets and heuristic search. In Proceedings 2000 ICRA. Millennium Conference. IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation. Symposia Proceedings (Cat. No.00CH37065). https://doi.org/10.1109/robot.2000.846386

The combination of Petri net (PN) and AI to solve flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) scheduling problems has been proven to be a promising approach. However, the NP-hard nature of the problem prevents the PN capability of reasoning about the behavi...

The Prometheus taxonomic database (2000)
Conference Proceeding
Raguenaud, C., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. (2000). The Prometheus taxonomic database. In Proceedings IEEE International Symposium on Bio-Informatics and Biomedical Engineering (63-70). https://doi.org/10.1109/bibe.2000.889590

M.R. Pullen et al. (2000) have designed a new model of plant taxonomy (called Prometheus); it supports multiple overlapping classifications, and distinguishes the process of naming from classifying. The concepts identified in this taxonomic model nec... Read More about The Prometheus taxonomic database.

A query mediation approach to interoperability of heterogeneous databases (2000)
Conference Proceeding
Huang, H., Kerridge, J., & Chen, S. (2000). A query mediation approach to interoperability of heterogeneous databases. In Proceedings 11th Australasian Database Conference. ADC 2000 (Cat. No.PR00528). https://doi.org/10.1109/adc.2000.819812

The need to transform queries between heterogeneous databases arises in many circumstances, including query transformation between a global and a local query. This paper describes a query mediation approach to the interoperability of heterogeneous da... Read More about A query mediation approach to interoperability of heterogeneous databases.

Investigating the use of force feedback for motion-impaired users (2000)
Conference Proceeding
Keates, S., Langdon, P., Clarkson, J., & Robinson, P. (2000). Investigating the use of force feedback for motion-impaired users. In P. L. Emiliani, & C. Stephanidis (Eds.), Proceedings of the 6th ERCIM Workshop on User Interfaces for All (207-212)

For users with motion impairments, the standard keyboard and mouse arrangement for computer access often presents problems. Other approaches have to be adopted to overcome this. There is evidence to suggest that increasing the degrees-offreedom, and... Read More about Investigating the use of force feedback for motion-impaired users.

Investigating industry attitudes to universal design. (2000)
Conference Proceeding
Keates, S., Lebbon, C., & Clarkson, J. (2000). Investigating industry attitudes to universal design. In J. Winters (Ed.), Proceedings of the RESNA 2000 Annual Conference: Technology for the New Millennium (276-278)

The general population in most countries is getting older. With increasing age comes increasing variability in physical capability and hence a greater requirement for products and services to be designed for a broader user base. However, the products...

Rizzo (Eds.), Proceedings of the 3rd international conference on disability, virtual reality and associated technologies (ICDVRAT 2000) (25-32)

For users with motion impairments, the standard keyboard and mouse arrangement for computer access often presents problems. Other approaches have to be adopted to overcome this. There is evidence to suggest that increasing the degrees-of-freedom, and... Read More about Using haptic feedback to enhance computer interaction for motion-impaired users.

Berkowicz (Eds.), Urban Air Quality: Measurement, Modelling and Management (333-342). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-010-0932-4_36

An integrated method for the prediction of the spatial pollution distribution within a street canyon directly from a microscopic traffic simulation model is outlined. The traffic simulation package Paramics is used to model the flow of vehicles in re... Read More about An Integrated approach to street canyon pollution modelling..

DISCOVERing the impact of reality (poster session) (2000)
Conference Proceeding
