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.

Describing and characterising visualisations. (1996)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kennedy, J. B., Mitchell, K. J., & Barclay, P. J. (1996). Describing and characterising visualisations. In 3rd FADIVA Workshop

A generic framework for describing and specifying interfaces to databases has been proposed [1]. Currently this framework is being used as a model for the development of an environment for the construction of user interfaces to object oriented datab...

DRIVE: An environment for the organised construction of user interfaces to data. (1996)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mitchell, K., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. J. (1996). DRIVE: An environment for the organised construction of user interfaces to data. In J. Kennedy, & P. J. Barclay (Eds.), Interfaces to Databases (IDS-3): Proceedings of the 3rd International Workshop on I

This paper describes a runtime user-interface development environment (UIDE) for the novel capability of interactively using and specifying user-interfaces to object-oriented databases (IDSs). A framework provides the foundation for IDSs constructed... Read More about DRIVE: An environment for the organised construction of user interfaces to data..

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...

Functional languages on linear chromosomes (1996)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Holmes, P., & Barclay, P. J. (1996). Functional languages on linear chromosomes. In Proceedings of the 1st annual conference on genetic programming (427)

Ayala & Kiger (1984) document a biological phenomenon in which co-adapted genes migrate and naturally cluster together into structures called supergenes. We have begun research into the implications of the supergene effect on the efficiency of evolut... Read More about Functional languages on linear chromosomes.

TOTEM: an Interactive Tool for Creative Data Modelling (1996)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Crerar, A., Barclay, P. J., & Watt, R. (1996). TOTEM: an Interactive Tool for Creative Data Modelling. In Proceedings of the 3rd International Workshop on Interfaces to Databases, Napier University, Edinburgh (IDS-3). https://doi.org/10.14236/ewic/IDS199

Data modelling is a crucial and early step in the design of all but the most trivial database systems. Although a fundamental skill for information systems designers, data modelling is not easy to do well and novices are known to have considerable di...

A framework for user-interfaces to databases (1996)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mitchell, K., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. J. (1996). A framework for user-interfaces to databases. In T. Catarci, M. F. Costabile, S. Levialdi, & G. Santucci (Eds.), Proceedings [of the] 3rd International Workshop on Advanced Visual Interfaces, AVI'96 (81

A framework for user-interfaces to databases (IDSs) is proposed which draws from existing research on human computer interaction (HCI) and database systems. The framework is described in terms of a classification of the characteristic components of a... Read More about A framework for user-interfaces to databases.
