The Sierpinski brain (2001)
Conference Proceeding
András, P. (2001). The Sierpinski brain. In IJCNN'01. International Joint Conference on Neural Networks Proceedings (654-659). https://doi.org/10.1109/IJCNN.2001.939101

The paper presents a new approach to the interpretation of chaotic neural activity. It is suggested that such activity forms neural objects represented as spatio-temporal firing patterns and the neural computations are performed through the interacti... Read More about The Sierpinski brain.

Active distributed monitoring for dynamic large-scale networks (2001)
Conference Proceeding
Liotta, A., Pavlou, G., & Knight, G. (2001). Active distributed monitoring for dynamic large-scale networks. In ICC 2001. IEEE International Conference on Communications. Conference Record (Cat. No.01CH37240) (1544-1550). https://doi.org/10.1109/ICC.2001.937179

Networks offering services of high availability and quality need to be carefully monitored. Their increasing size and complexity stresses the ability of currently used static centralized systems. Decentralized approaches are possible and a key issue... Read More about Active distributed monitoring for dynamic large-scale networks.

A modified generalised minimum-variance stochastic self-tuning controller with pole-zero placement (2001)
Conference Proceeding
Zayed, A., Hussain, A., & Smith, L. (2001). A modified generalised minimum-variance stochastic self-tuning controller with pole-zero placement. In Proceedings. IEEE International Multi Topic Conference, 2001. IEEE INMIC 2001. Technology for the 21st Century (252-256). https://doi.org/10.1109/INMIC.2001.995346

The paper proposes a modified robust self-tuning controller, which minimises a cost function, incorporating system input, system output and set-point. It provides an adaptive mechanism which ensures that both the closed-loop poles and zeros are place...

Perception and haptics: towards more accessible computers for motion-impaired users (2001)
Conference Proceeding
Hwang, F., Keates, S., Langdon, P., Clarkson, P. J., & Robinson, P. (2001). Perception and haptics: towards more accessible computers for motion-impaired users. In Proceedings of the 2001 workshop on Perceptive user interface. https://doi.org/10.1145/971478.971507

For people with motion impairments, access to and independent control of a computer can be essential. Symptoms such as tremor and spasm, however, can make the typical keyboard and mouse arrangement for computer interaction difficult or even impossibl...

Combining utility, usability and accessibility methods for universal access (2001)
Conference Proceeding
Keates, S., & Clarkson, P. J. (2001). Combining utility, usability and accessibility methods for universal access. In Conference Proceedings on CHI 2001: Anyone. Anywhere

It is known that many products are not accessible to large sections of the population. Designers instinctively focus on providing the necessary utility for someone with their physical and skill capabilities. They are either unaware of the needs of us...
