Query Language For Prometheus (1999)
Report
Raguenaud, C., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. J. Query Language For Prometheus. Napier University

This document presents the query language developed for the Prometheus database [RKB99]. This language is based on graphs and provides the user with a means to define the data to be extracted from the database and its manipulation. The language requi...

The Prometheus Database Model (1999)
Report
Raguenaud, C., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. The Prometheus Database Model. Napier University

This report presents the Prometheus database model. The model is designed to satisfy the requirements expressed in a previous document [RKB99]. The new model is based on a graph model and is extended with some mechanisms existing in other models (e.g... Read More about The Prometheus Database Model.

Responsibility for digital archiving and long-term access to digital data. JISC/NPO Studies on the Preservation of Electronic Materials (1997)
Report
Haynes, D., Streatfield, D., Jowett, T., & Blake, M. (1997). Responsibility for digital archiving and long-term access to digital data. JISC/NPO Studies on the Preservation of Electronic Materials. London: Jisc

This report presents the findings of an investigation into opinions on the responsibility for maintaining an archive of digital materials produced in the UK and Ireland. The study was conducted by means of focus group meetings and interviews. The rep... Read More about Responsibility for digital archiving and long-term access to digital data.

Accurate rapid simulation of urban traffic using discrete modelling. (1996)
Report
Russell, G., Shaw, P., & Ferguson, N. (1996). Accurate rapid simulation of urban traffic using discrete modelling

Increasing model complexity has traditionally been viewed as a key way of improving microscopic model accuracy. However, with complexity comes an increase in execution time. In some applications, such as UTC systems, low execution times and a high de... Read More about Accurate rapid simulation of urban traffic using discrete modelling..

Vector Padé Approximants (1995)
Report
Roberts, D. (1995). Vector Padé Approximants. Edinburgh: Edinburgh Napier University

Napier Report CAM 95-3 (1995)

We consider the construction of rational approximations to given power series whose coefficients are vectors. The approximants are in the form of vector-valued continued fractions which may be used to obtain vector P... Read More about Vector Padé Approximants.

Simulating vehicular traffic flows using the Circal System. (1994)
Report
Russell, G., Cowie, A., McInnes, J., Bate, M., & Milne, G. (1994). Simulating vehicular traffic flows using the Circal System

Modern civil engineers have big problems on their hands; more cars use our road networks every year, leading to ever increasing congestion. Knowing how to change a road network to relieve congestion without spending millions of pounds doing so is a t... Read More about Simulating vehicular traffic flows using the Circal System..

Memory resident databases: reliability, compression and performance. (1993)
Report
Cockshott, W. P., Cowie, A., Russell, G., & McGregor, D. (1993). Memory resident databases: reliability, compression and performance

The paper argues that recent developments in non-volatile solid-state store allow a new implementation paradigm for databases. This involves replacing slow rotating storage with all-semiconductor data stores. A mechanism is presented to achieve high...
