Plotting affect and premises for use in aesthetic interaction design: towards evaluation of the everyday. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kettley, S., & Smyth, M. (2006, September). Plotting affect and premises for use in aesthetic interaction design: towards evaluation of the everyday. Presented at HCI Conference 2006

This short paper presents an experimental approach to the difficulty of evaluating interactive systems as artefacts for everyday life. The problem arises from the event-like nature of the user-centred evaluation session, as distinct from ‘being’ or t...

Information Architecture and Navigation Design for Web Sites (2007)
Book Chapter
Benyon, D. (2007). Information Architecture and Navigation Design for Web Sites. In P. Zaphiris, & S. Kurniawan (Eds.), Human Computer Interaction Research in Web Design and Evaluation (165-184). IGI Global. https://doi.org/10.4018/978-1-59904-246-6.ch008

Information architecture concerns how to structure the content of an information space. Information architects design information spaces. Staying with the notion of information space leads us to the realisation that people need to be able to both con... Read More about Information Architecture and Navigation Design for Web Sites.

Surgical education: Applied virtual anatomy: Can Virtual Reality Augment Postgraduate Anatomy Teaching? (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ward, B. M., Charissis, V., Rowley, D., Anderson, P., & Young, I. (2007, November). Surgical education: Applied virtual anatomy: Can Virtual Reality Augment Postgraduate Anatomy Teaching?. Presented at British Association of Day Surgery Conference

This paper presents an inquiry into Virtual Reality (VR) training environments and their application in early postgraduate anatomy teaching. There is great interest in the use of VR applications, but there has been little practical application in the...

It is a place embedded with technologies utilised at various... Read More about Place and technology in the home..

Design and Analysis of Multicast Communication in Multidimensional Mesh Networks (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Al-Dubai, A., Ould-Khaoua, M., & Romdhani, I. (2007, August). Design and Analysis of Multicast Communication in Multidimensional Mesh Networks. Presented at 5th International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing and Applications (ISPA07), Naigara Falls, Canada

This paper addresses the issue of multicast communication in
scalable interconnection networks, using path-based scheme. Most existing multicast algorithms either assume a fixed network size, low dimensional networks or only consider the latency at... Read More about Design and Analysis of Multicast Communication in Multidimensional Mesh Networks.
