Approximation of chaotic shapes with tree-structured neural networks (1999)
Conference Proceeding
Andras, P. (1999). Approximation of chaotic shapes with tree-structured neural networks. In IJCNN'99: International Joint Conference on Neural Networks, Proceedings (817-820). https://doi.org/10.1109/IJCNN.1999.831056

The approximation of highly irregular decision regions is a challenging problem in pattern recognition and classification. Existing neural networks require many neurons for approximating irregular decision regions. A new tree-structured neural networ...

No Innovation Without Representation? An analysis of participation, representation, R&D and innovation (1999)
Journal Article
Michie, J., & Sheehan, M. (1999). No Innovation Without Representation? An analysis of participation, representation, R&D and innovation. Economic Analysis, 2(2), 85-97

Does it pay for firms to involve their workforce, or is such participation an expensive luxury? For those who would like to see increased employee participation and representation, this is a key issue. What, though, would be the mechanisms through wh...

Synchronisation primitives for highly parallel discrete event simulations (1999)
Conference Proceeding
Kerridge, J., Welch, P., & Wood, D. (1999). Synchronisation primitives for highly parallel discrete event simulations. In Proceedings of the 32nd Annual Hawaii International Conference on Systems Sciences. 1999. HICSS-32. https://doi.org/10.1109/hicss.1999.773084

A new set of synchronisation primitives is described that simplifies the control of very large numbers of fine-grained parallel processes. The new primitives are derived from the multi-way event synchronisation and choice defined in communicating seq...

Conference Proceeding
Keates, S., Clarkson, J., & Robinson, P. (1999). Designing a usable interface for an interactive robot. In ICORR '99: 6th International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics (156-162)

The traditional emphasis of Rehabilitation Robotics has been dominated largely by the logistics of system development rather than how to maximise overall system usability [1]. The research programme at Cambridge has focused on the shortcomings of thi... Read More about Designing a usable interface for an interactive robot..
