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...

The Unequal Unemployed uses the important and rev... Read More about The Unequal Unemployed: Discrimination, unemployment and state policy in Northern Ireland.

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..
