A problem in querying recursive patterns with OQL (2002)
Preprint / Working Paper
Raguenaud, C., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. J. A problem in querying recursive patterns with OQL

This paper analyses the problem generated by recursive patterns in typed query languages such as OQL [Cattell '97]. Recursive patterns describe hierarchical structures such as those defining classifications or part-explosion problems. A classificatio...

The Prometheus II Description Model: an objective approach to representing taxonomic descriptions (2002)
Preprint / Working Paper
MacDonald, S. M., Raguenaud, C., Pullan, M. R., Kennedy, J., Russell, G., & Watson, M. F. The Prometheus II Description Model: an objective approach to representing taxonomic descriptions

A model for improving the storage and communication of plant descriptions is presented. The model is flexible and yet reduces the ambiguity often present in text descriptions. The fundamental idea behind the model is the necessity for clear represent... Read More about The Prometheus II Description Model: an objective approach to representing taxonomic descriptions.

We sought to determine the extent to which red-green, colour-opponent mechanisms in the human visual system play a role in the perception of drifting luminance-modulated targets. Contrast sensitivity for the directional discrimination of drifting lum... Read More about Colour and luminance interactions in the visual perception of motion..

An activity theoretic approach to surfacing evaluation issues. (2002)
Journal Article
Turner, P., & Turner, S. (2002). An activity theoretic approach to surfacing evaluation issues. Journal of applied systems studies : methodologies and applications for systems approaches, 3, 134-155

We introduce activity theory and the role of contradictions as a basis for making visible the structure and dynamics of work systems. Then, by way of a case study set in a national counter-fraud agency, we demonstrate how activity theory supports an... Read More about An activity theoretic approach to surfacing evaluation issues..

Support software evolution with abstraction rules and program knowledge patterns. (2002)
Journal Article
Teng, G., & Liu, X. (2002). Support software evolution with abstraction rules and program knowledge patterns. Asian-information-science-life, 1, 177-189

This paper advocates that reengineering is an effective means of legacy system evolution. Extracting formal specification semantically consistent to the original legacy system will facilitate further redesign and forward engineering greatly. The key...

Impulse exchange at the surface of the ocean and the fractal dimension of drifter trajectories. (2002)

An impulse-based model is developed to represent a coupling between turbulent flow in the atmosphere and turbulent flow in the ocean. In particular, it is argued that the atmosphere flowing horizontally over the ocean surface generates a velocity flu...

Oceanic dimethylsulfide (DMS), the main natural source of sulfur to the global atmosphere, is suggested to play a key role in the interaction between marine biota and climate. Its biochemical precursor is dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), a globally...
