Integrated Decision Points for Interactive Movies (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tully, G., & Turner, S. (2006, June). Integrated Decision Points for Interactive Movies. Presented at Second International Conference, TIDSE 2004, Darmstadt, Germany

We describe a study which explores alternative means of communicating decision points in an interactive movie. The two variants used novel, non-disruptive cues embedded in the movie itself: a fade to black and white and a zoom effect accompanied by s...

Visual-narrative and virtual reality. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Carroll, F., Smyth, M., & Dryden, L. (2004, October). Visual-narrative and virtual reality. Presented at IVLA Conference 2004, Pilansberg, South Africa

This paper explores the relationship between the image and the narrative in virtual reality (VR) environments. It
addresses three main issues; how we engage in images, how the VR technology can enhance this engagement
and how narratives can maintai... Read More about Visual-narrative and virtual reality..

The impact of cultural aspects on the design process (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Felgen, L., Grieb, J., Lindemann, U., Pulm, U., Chakrabati, A., & Vijaykumar, G. (2004, May). The impact of cultural aspects on the design process. Presented at DESIGN 2004, the 8th International Design Conference, Dubrovnick, Croatia

Due to increasing globalisation, the development of products is no longer restricted to one place, it is more and more characterised by distributed design teams, who work in different places, time zones or cultures. In order to support intercultural... Read More about The impact of cultural aspects on the design process.

Towards scalable collective communication for multicomputer interconnection networks (2004)
Journal Article
Al-Dubai, A., Ould-Khaoua, M., El-Zayyat, K., Ababneh, I., & Al-Dobai, S. (2004). Towards scalable collective communication for multicomputer interconnection networks. Information Sciences, 163(4), 293-306. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ins.2003.06.014

A considerable number of broadcast algorithms have been proposed for the mesh over the past decade. Nonetheless, most of these algorithms do not exhibit good scalability properties as the network size increases. As a consequence, most existing broadc...

Focuses on group communication algorithms in high performance networks, parallel and distributed systems, quality of service and routing protocols, mobile and wireless Technologies

A Simulation Study of Scalable Broadcast in High-Performance Regular Networks (2004)
Journal Article
Al-Dubai, A. Y., Ould-Khaoua, M., & Obaidat, M. S. (2004). A Simulation Study of Scalable Broadcast in High-Performance Regular Networks. SIMULATION, 80(4-5), 207-220. https://doi.org/10.1177/0037549704044325

Broadcast is an important communication operation required by many real-world applications encountered in parallel, cluster, and grid computing environments. Broadcasting on regular networks has been widely investigated in the past. However, most of... Read More about A Simulation Study of Scalable Broadcast in High-Performance Regular Networks.

Personification technologies: developing artificial companions for older people. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mival, O., Cringean, S., & Benyon, D. (2004, April). Personification technologies: developing artificial companions for older people. Presented at Chi 2004, Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

This paper reports on the work of the UTOPIA project, a consortium of four Scottish universities concerned with technology issues for older people, focusing specifically on artificial companionship. The importance of companionship to the emotional an... Read More about Personification technologies: developing artificial companions for older people..
