Expectations and experiences of CSCW in an engineering environment. (1996)
Journal Article
Turner, S., & Turner, P. (1996). Expectations and experiences of CSCW in an engineering environment. Computer Supported Cooperative Work, 1, 237-254

Existing organisational context and user expectations have a huge effect on the success of introducing CSCW technology, and should have a correspondingly strong influence on the choice and design of these tools. This paper first discusses organisa... Read More about Expectations and experiences of CSCW in an engineering environment..

A framework for information visualisation (1996)
Journal Article
Kennedy, J., Mitchell, K., & Barclay, P. J. (1996). A framework for information visualisation. SIGMOD record, 25, 30-34

In this paper we examine the issues involved in developing information visualisation systems and present a framework for their construction. The framework addresses the components which must be considered in providing effective visualisations. The fr... Read More about A framework for information visualisation.

Anarchy on the Internet: obstacles and opportunities for alternative electronic publishing. (1996)
Journal Article
Atton, C. (1996). Anarchy on the Internet: obstacles and opportunities for alternative electronic publishing. Anarchist studies, 4, 115-132

The article summarises the constraints on alternative (print) publishing: economic, legal and social. It suggests that electronic publishing on the Internet might dispense with such constraints. After a discussion of anarchist views of the Internet,... Read More about Anarchy on the Internet: obstacles and opportunities for alternative electronic publishing..

Recycling Policy in Areas of Low Income and Multi-storey Housing (1996)
Journal Article

The paper considers the participation of households in recycling programmes in areas of multistorey, low income housing which are often considered unattractive for such programmes. A model of the material recycled is presented together with a review... Read More about Recycling Policy in Areas of Low Income and Multi-storey Housing.

Stability of a gas-liquid interface in a periodic vertical motion (1996)
Journal Article
Valha, J., & Kubie, J. (1996). Stability of a gas-liquid interface in a periodic vertical motion. Chemical Engineering Science, 51(22), 4997-5006. https://doi.org/10.1016/0009-2509%2896%2900348-x

An investigation has been undertaken to examine the stability of a gas-liquid interface in a vertical cylindrical vessel subjected to a sinusoidal vertical motion. Experimental results indicate that there is a certain limiting critical frequency at w... Read More about Stability of a gas-liquid interface in a periodic vertical motion.

An Investigation into the improvement of Local Minima of the Hopfield Network (1996)
Journal Article
Peng, M., Gupta, N. K., & Armitage, A. (1996). An Investigation into the improvement of Local Minima of the Hopfield Network. Neural Networks, 9(7), 1241-1253. https://doi.org/10.1016/0893-6080%2896%2900017-2

The paper investigates the improvement of local minima of the Hopfield network. A local minima escape algorithm (LME algorithm), is proposed for improving local minima of small-scale networks. Experiments on travelling salesman problems (TSP) show th... Read More about An Investigation into the improvement of Local Minima of the Hopfield Network.

On temporal versioning in object oriented databases. (1996)
Journal Article
Lu, J., Barclay, P. J., & Kennedy, J. (1996). On temporal versioning in object oriented databases. Informationssystem-Architekturen, 3, 38-40

This paper describes the development of the data model TVM which contains a new concept, temporal versioning. This generalises the ideas of temporal databases and version management to object-oriented databases. TVM provides a new approach for data m...

There are at present strong market pressures to increase the price of pruned softwood logs in South Africa. However, there is currently no equitable basis on which to price pruned logs, as their value can vary enormously, depending upon a number of i...

The skull beneath the skin: entity-relationship models of information artifacts (1996)
Journal Article
Green, T. R. G., & Benyon, D. (1996). The skull beneath the skin: entity-relationship models of information artifacts. International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, 44(6), 801-828. https://doi.org/10.1006/ijhc.1996.0034

Data modelling reveals the internal structure of an information system, abstracting away from details of the physical representation. We show that entity-relationship modelling, a well-tried example of a data-modelling technique, can be applied to...
