Improving maintenance through development experiences. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Liu, X., Yang, H., & Zedan, H. (1998). Improving maintenance through development experiences. In WESS '98 - Workshop on Empirical Studies in Software Maintenance (1-5)

An empirical comparison is made between present approaches/tools of software maintenance and development. The conclusion is that development technology is more mature in many aspects, such as automation, formalism, confidence, understanding of origin...

An investigation of using music to provide navigation cues. (1998)
Journal Article
LePlâtre, G., & Brewster, S. A. (1998). An investigation of using music to provide navigation cues. Proceedings of the 1998 international conference on Auditory Display(ICAD '98), 19

This paper describes an experiment that investigates new principles for representing hierarchical menus such
as telephone-based interface menus, with non-speech audio. A hierarchy of 25 nodes with a sound for each
node was used. The sounds were des... Read More about An investigation of using music to provide navigation cues..

Producing robust schedules via an artificial immune system. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., Ross, P., & Nelson, J. (1998). Producing robust schedules via an artificial immune system. In Proceedings of International Conference on Evolutionary Computing (464-469). https://doi.org/10.1109/ICEC.1998.699852

This paper describes an artificial immune system (AIS) approach
to producing robust schedules for a dynamic jobshop
scheduling problem in which jobs arrive continually,
and the environment is subject to change due to practical
reasons. We investi... Read More about Producing robust schedules via an artificial immune system..

A heuristic combination method for solving job-shop scheduling problems. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., & Ross, P. (1998). A heuristic combination method for solving job-shop scheduling problems. In A. E. Eiben, T. Back, M. Schoenauer, & H. Schwefel (Eds.), Parallel Problem Solving from Nature V (845-854). https://doi.org/10.1007/BFb0056926

This paper describes a heuristic combination based genetic algorithm, (GA), for tackling dynamic job-shop scheduling problems. Our approach is novel in that the genome encodes a choice of algorithm to be used to produce a set of schedulable operation...

Networked information: dealing with overload. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hall, H. (1997, November). Networked information: dealing with overload. Presented at LACIG Scotland

In support of peak performance all organisations require optimal information: information that arrives at the right time and in the right format, matching the quality requirements of its potential users (Marcusohn, 1995). In contrast to this, a super... Read More about Networked information: dealing with overload..

An open model-based interface development system: The Teallach approach. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Griffiths, T., McKirdy, J., Paton, N. W., Kennedy, J., Cooper, R., Barclay, P. J., Goble, C., Gray, P., Smyth, M., West, A., & Dinn, A. (1998, June). An open model-based interface development system: The Teallach approach. Presented at DSV-IS '98: 5th International Eurographics Workshop on Design, Specification and Verification of Interactive Systems

The goal of the Teallach project is to provide facilities for the systematic development of interfaces to object databases in a manner which is independent of both a specific underlying database and operating system. Teallach's open architecture als... Read More about An open model-based interface development system: The Teallach approach..

Exploiting model based techniques for user interfaces to databases. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Griffiths, T., McKirdy, J., Forrester, G., Paton, N. W., Kennedy, J., Barclay, P. J., Cooper, R., Goble, C., & Gray, P. (1998, May). Exploiting model based techniques for user interfaces to databases. Presented at ADVANCED VISUAL INTERFACES, VISUAL DATABASE SYSTEMS. International Working Conference - VDB4, 1998

Model-based systems provide methods for supporting the systematic and efficient
development of application interfaces. This paper examines how model-based
technologies can be exploited to develop user interfaces to databases. To this end
five mode... Read More about Exploiting model based techniques for user interfaces to databases..

A lightweight presentation model for database user interfaces. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gray, P., Cooper, R., Kennedy, J., McKirdy, J., Barclay, P. J., & Griffiths, T. (1998). A lightweight presentation model for database user interfaces. In C. Stephanidis, & A. Waern (Eds.), 4th ERCIM Workshop on "User Interfaces for All"

The Teallach project is building a system which eases the design and implementation of
user interfaces (web-based or otherwise) to object-oriented database applications. Teallach takes a model
based approach and is constructing its system around th... Read More about A lightweight presentation model for database user interfaces..

Texts at work: some thoughts on "Just for You" service in the context of domain expertise. (1998)
Journal Article
Davenport, E., & Cronin, B. (1998). Texts at work: some thoughts on "Just for You" service in the context of domain expertise. Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, 39, 1-12

The authors review a number of approaches to "just for you" service. They suggest that this concept offers opportunities for library and information science (LIS) programs to extend their reach by engaging domain experts who will develop services and...

Work-in-progress on a simple conversational prop for navigating social space for workshop on Personalised and Social Navigation in Information Space. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Davenport, E., Buckner, K., & Barr, K. (1998, March). Work-in-progress on a simple conversational prop for navigating social space for workshop on Personalised and Social Navigation in Information Space

The authors of this paper are members of Work Package 2 of the Living Memory project, funded by the ESPRIT program under the I3 rubric. Living Memory will explore new intelligent interface interaction and interaction paradigms in the context of a rea...
