The perspective tunnel: An inside view on smoothly integrating detail and context. (1997)
Conference Proceeding
Mitchell, K., & Kennedy, J. (1997). The perspective tunnel: An inside view on smoothly integrating detail and context. In W. Lefer, & M. Grave (Eds.), Visualization in scientific computing '97: proceedings of the Eurographics Workshop in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France, April 28-30, 1997

The perspective tunnel, a general kind of information visualisation artefact, embodies a visual form which exploits natural human visual perception. Perspective tunnels map information on to the floor, ceiling and walls of a tunnel, so that both ever...

Using active constructs in user-interfaces to object-oriented databases. (1997)
Conference Proceeding
Mitchell, K., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. J. (1997). Using active constructs in user-interfaces to object-oriented databases. In Proceedings [of the First] International database engineering and applications symposium, (3-12)

This paper examines the use of active constructs in the definition of user-interfaces to object-oriented databases. A development environment for user-interfaces to databases is presented which features the interactive use of active features of an ob...

Assessing inheritance for the multiple descendant redefinition problem in OO systems. (1997)
Conference Proceeding
Li-Thiao-Te, P., Kennedy, J., & Owens, J. (1997). Assessing inheritance for the multiple descendant redefinition problem in OO systems. In M. Orlowska, & R. Zicari (Eds.), Proceedings of [the] International Conference on Object Oriented Information Systems (OOIS'97) (197-210)

Current use of inheritance has illustrated that the introduction of conceptual inconsistencies is possible in a class hierarchy. This paper discusses the reasons why complete method redefinition infringes the essence of inheritance. A redefinition m...

bclasses: A construct and method for modelling co-operative object behaviour (1997)
Journal Article
Marshall, B. R., Kennedy, J. B., & Barclay, P. J. (1997). bclasses: A construct and method for modelling co-operative object behaviour. Information and Software Technology, 39(5), 351-361. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0950-5849%2896%2901151-2

Current object-oriented (OO) modelling techniques emphasise the static aspects of data objects. Dynamics in general and collaborations between objects in particular tend to be poorly supported and are often treated separately. A full understanding of...
