Perspectives on the design of musical auditory interfaces. (1999)
Journal Article
LePlâtre, G., & Brewster, S. A. (1999). Perspectives on the design of musical auditory interfaces. CASYS, 4, 227-239

This paper addresses the issue of music as a communication medium in auditory humancomputer interfaces. So far, psychoacoustics has had a great influence on the development of auditory interfaces, directly and through music cognition. We suggest t...

How stories capture interactions. (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Imaz, M., & Benyon, D. (1999). How stories capture interactions. In M. A. Sasse, & C. Johnson (Eds.), Human-Computer Interaction - Interact '99

Stories have an important role in designing HCI systems because they contribute to the representation of contextual information. User Stories are the first artefacts we use in order to describe interactions, but for implementation purposes we need so... Read More about How stories capture interactions..

Scheduling chicken catching - an investigation into the success of a genetic algorithm on a real world scheduling problem. (1999)
Journal Article
Hart, E., Ross, P., & Nelson, J. (1999). Scheduling chicken catching - an investigation into the success of a genetic algorithm on a real world scheduling problem. Annals of Operations Research, 92, 363-380. https://doi.org/10.1023/A%3A1018951218434

Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are a class of evolutionary algorithms that have been successfully applied to scheduling problems, in particular job-shop and flow-shop type problems where a number of theoretical benchmarks exist. This work applies a genet... Read More about Scheduling chicken catching - an investigation into the success of a genetic algorithm on a real world scheduling problem..

An immune system approach to scheduling in changing environments. (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., & Ross, P. (1999). An immune system approach to scheduling in changing environments. In W. Banzhaf, J. M. Daida, A. E. Eiben, M. H. Garzon, V. Honavar, M. Jakiela, & R. E. Smith (Eds.), GECCO-99 : proceedings of the genetic and evolutionary comp

This paper describes the application of an artificial immune system, (AIS), model to a scheduling application, in which sudden changes in the scheduling environment require the rapid production of new schedules. The model operates in two phases: In t... Read More about An immune system approach to scheduling in changing environments..

Teallach: a model-based user interface development environment for object databases (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Griffiths, T., Barclay, P. J., McKirdy, J., Paton, N. W., Gray, P. D., Kennedy, J., …Smyth, M. (1999). Teallach: a model-based user interface development environment for object databases. In Proceedings [IEEE] User Interfaces to Data Intensive Systems

Model-based user interface development environments show promise for improving the productivity of user interface developers, and possibly for improving the quality of developed interfaces. However, model-based techniques have rarely been applied to... Read More about Teallach: a model-based user interface development environment for object databases.

The challenge of visualising multiple overlapping classification. (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Graham, M., Kennedy, J., & Hand, C. (1999). The challenge of visualising multiple overlapping classification. In N. W. Paton, & T. Griffiths (Eds.), Proceedings [of] IEEE User Interfaces to Data Intensive Systems (UIDIS) 1999 (42-51). https://doi.org/10.1

Techniques for visualising hierarchies have concentrated on displaying static structures or, in the case of dynamic hierarchies, adding or deleting nodes from the hierarchy. However, none have adequately dealt with the situation of visualising change... Read More about The challenge of visualising multiple overlapping classification..

The authors describe the problem of 'community myopia': a lack of awareness of people and resources that might assist members of a community to carry out tasks. They present a prototype social browser in two stages: a basic computer based social netw... Read More about Making interactions visible: tools for social browsing..

Matching partners: tools for social browsing that take people as texts. (1999)
Journal Article
Davenport, E. (1999). Matching partners: tools for social browsing that take people as texts. Canadian Journal of Information and Library Research, 24, 1-16

The paper describes an emerging research agenda, and some of the preliminary conceptualisations for social browsers than can assist group members who may wish to accomplish tasks together, but are unaware of each other. It is likely that the problem... Read More about Matching partners: tools for social browsing that take people as texts..
