A Database System for Supporting Taxonomic Work (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Raguenaud, C., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. J. A Database System for Supporting Taxonomic Work

Taxonomists classify organisms in order to refer to, identify and understand them. Over time, the same organism may be classified according to different taxonomic opinions. As alternative classifications multiply, taxonomists are faced with the need... Read More about A Database System for Supporting Taxonomic Work.

Approximation of chaotic shapes with tree-structured neural networks (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Andras, P. (1999, July). Approximation of chaotic shapes with tree-structured neural networks. Presented at IJCNN'99: International Joint Conference on Neural Networks, Washington, DC, USA

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)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Michie, J., & Sheehan, M. No Innovation Without Representation? An analysis of participation, representation, R&D and innovation

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)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J., Welch, P., & Wood, D. (1999, January). Synchronisation primitives for highly parallel discrete event simulations. Presented at HICSS 32 - 32nd Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, Maui, HI, USA

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...

Designing a usable interface for an interactive robot. (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Keates, S., Clarkson, J., & Robinson, P. (1999, July). Designing a usable interface for an interactive robot. Presented at ICORR ’99: 6th International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics., Stanford University, Stanford, California, U.S.A

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..

Universal access in the work-place: a case study. (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Keates, S., Clarkson, J., Coy, J., & Robinson, P. (1999, November). Universal access in the work-place: a case study. Presented at 5th ERCIM Workshop on "User Interfaces for All", Dagstuhl, Germany

Universal Access belongs not only in the research laboratory, but also in an industrial environment. Many countries have set out specific legal requirements for companies to meet in terms of proportions of staff with disabilities and meeting those re...

Pricing digital transport data. (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wigan, M. (1999, January). Pricing digital transport data. Presented at Transportation Research Board 78th Annual Meeting

Building road transport networks for modelling purposes has been a time consuming and error prone task for many years. The rapid development of digital road networks has now provided a reliable and rapid mean of building such networks flexibily and a... Read More about Pricing digital transport data..

Broader considerations with private funding of major road infrastructure. (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wigan, M. (1999, June). Broader considerations with private funding of major road infrastructure. Presented at AITPM

Private road funding and privatised roads are not quite the same. There is a vast range of different ways in which private capital can participate in road infrastructure. Some of these are examined, and the implications of different forms of private... Read More about Broader considerations with private funding of major road infrastructure..

Dimensional analysis based causal ordering (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Shen, Q., Peng, T., & Milne, R. (1999, December). Dimensional analysis based causal ordering. Presented at QR-99

This paper presents a novel approach for generating causal dependencies between system variables, from an acausal description of the system behaviour, and for identifying the end causal impact; in terms of whether a change in the value of an influenc...
