An Evaluation of the Requirements of a Tool for Mapping Workplace Soundscapes (2000)
Thesis
McGregor, I. P. An Evaluation of the Requirements of a Tool for Mapping Workplace Soundscapes. (Thesis)

In a visually biased culture sound becomes taken for granted until it intrudes, this makes many systems designers shy away from sound as a method of communication. We are currently moving away from the notion of an isolated user sitting at a desktop,... Read More about An Evaluation of the Requirements of a Tool for Mapping Workplace Soundscapes.

Advanced scheduling methodologies for flexible manufacturing systems using Petri nets and heuristic search (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Moro, A., Yu, H., & Kelleher, G. (2000). Advanced scheduling methodologies for flexible manufacturing systems using Petri nets and heuristic search. In Proceedings 2000 ICRA. Millennium Conference. IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation

The combination of Petri net (PN) and AI to solve flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) scheduling problems has been proven to be a promising approach. However, the NP-hard nature of the problem prevents the PN capability of reasoning about the behavi...

The Prometheus taxonomic database (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Raguenaud, C., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. (2000). The Prometheus taxonomic database. In Proceedings IEEE International Symposium on Bio-Informatics and Biomedical Engineering (63-70). https://doi.org/10.1109/bibe.2000.889590

M.R. Pullen et al. (2000) have designed a new model of plant taxonomy (called Prometheus); it supports multiple overlapping classifications, and distinguishes the process of naming from classifying. The concepts identified in this taxonomic model nec... Read More about The Prometheus taxonomic database.

Neural Network Approximation of Fuzzy Logic Operators (2000)
Journal Article
Andras, P., Kaban, A., & Bossanyi, R. (2000). Neural Network Approximation of Fuzzy Logic Operators. Annales universitatis occidentalis timisiensis series philosophia, XII, 147-159

We investigate in this paper how to use neural networks to help the development of efficient fuzzy decision systems. First we review the basic theories of fuzzy logic and neural networks, and we look at the main applications of the artificial neural...

A query mediation approach to interoperability of heterogeneous databases (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Huang, H., Kerridge, J., & Chen, S. (2000). A query mediation approach to interoperability of heterogeneous databases. In Proceedings 11th Australasian Database Conference. ADC 2000 (Cat. No.PR00528). https://doi.org/10.1109/adc.2000.819812

The need to transform queries between heterogeneous databases arises in many circumstances, including query transformation between a global and a local query. This paper describes a query mediation approach to the interoperability of heterogeneous da... Read More about A query mediation approach to interoperability of heterogeneous databases.

Investigating the use of force feedback for motion-impaired users (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Keates, S., Langdon, P., Clarkson, J., & Robinson, P. (2000). Investigating the use of force feedback for motion-impaired users. In P. L. Emiliani, & C. Stephanidis (Eds.), Proceedings of the 6th ERCIM Workshop on User Interfaces for All (207-212)

For users with motion impairments, the standard keyboard and mouse arrangement for computer access often presents problems. Other approaches have to be adopted to overcome this. There is evidence to suggest that increasing the degrees-offreedom, and... Read More about Investigating the use of force feedback for motion-impaired users.

Investigating industry attitudes to universal design. (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Keates, S., Lebbon, C., & Clarkson, J. (2000). Investigating industry attitudes to universal design. In J. Winters (Ed.), Proceedings of the RESNA 2000 Annual Conference: Technology for the New Millennium (276-278)

The general population in most countries is getting older. With increasing age comes increasing variability in physical capability and hence a greater requirement for products and services to be designed for a broader user base. However, the products...

For users with motion impairments, the standard keyboard and mouse arrangement for computer access often presents problems. Other approaches have to be adopted to overcome this. There is evidence to suggest that increasing the degrees-of-freedom, and... Read More about Using haptic feedback to enhance computer interaction for motion-impaired users.

An Integrated approach to street canyon pollution modelling. (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Addison, P. S., Currie, J., Low, D. J., & McCann, J. M. (2000). An Integrated approach to street canyon pollution modelling. In R. S. Sokhi, R. S. José, N. Moussiopoulos, & R. Berkowicz (Eds.), Urban Air Quality: Measurement, Modelling and Management (33

An integrated method for the prediction of the spatial pollution distribution within a street canyon directly from a microscopic traffic simulation model is outlined. The traffic simulation package Paramics is used to model the flow of vehicles in re... Read More about An Integrated approach to street canyon pollution modelling..

Abstraction: a key notation for reverse engineering in a system re-engineering approach. (2000)
Journal Article
Yang, H., Liu, X., & Zedan, H. (2000). Abstraction: a key notation for reverse engineering in a system re-engineering approach. Journal of Software: Evolution and Process, 12, 197-228. https://doi.org/10.1002/1096-908X%28200007/08%2912%3A43.0.CO%3B2-X

This paper advocates that extracting formal specification semantically consistent to the original legacy system will facilitate further redesign and forward engineering greatly. The three parts of reengineering could be integrated on the basis of a w... Read More about Abstraction: a key notation for reverse engineering in a system re-engineering approach..

On the uncontrollable damped triple Inverted pendulum. (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Woodham, C. A., & Su, H. (2000). On the uncontrollable damped triple Inverted pendulum.

The balancing of an inverted pendulum is a classic control problem of some thirty years or so standing, which has been revisited of late in the light of recent developments in symbolic computation. The controllability of the damped double inverted... Read More about On the uncontrollable damped triple Inverted pendulum..
