Human movement behaviour in urban spaces: Implications for the design and modelling of effective pedestrian environments. (2004)
Journal Article
Willis, A., Gjersoe, N., Havard, C., Kerridge, J., & Kukla, R. (2004). Human movement behaviour in urban spaces: Implications for the design and modelling of effective pedestrian environments. Environment and planning. B, Planning & design, 31(6), 805-828. https://doi.org/10.1068/b3060

Despite a burgeoning research effort directed at the design and modelling of effective urban spaces for pedestrians, remarkably little is known about how pedestrians actually negotiate urban spaces. This paper reports the results of a video-based obs... Read More about Human movement behaviour in urban spaces: Implications for the design and modelling of effective pedestrian environments..

Ontology-Driven Automated Generation of Data Entry Interfaces to Databases (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cannon, A., Kennedy, J. B., Paterson, T., & Watson, M. F. (2004, July). Ontology-Driven Automated Generation of Data Entry Interfaces to Databases. Presented at Key Technologies for Data Management (Proc. BNCOD21): Lecture Notes in Computer Science 3112, Edinburgh, Scotland

This paper discusses an ontology based approach for the automatic generation of data entry interfaces to databases. An existing domain ontology is mapped to a system domain model, which a domain expert can then specialise using their domain expertise...

Monitoring the movement of pedestrians using low-cost infrared detectors: initial findings. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J., Armitage, A., Binnie, D., Lei, L., & Sumpter, N. (2004, January). Monitoring the movement of pedestrians using low-cost infrared detectors: initial findings. Presented at TRB Annual Meeting, Washington DC

Monitoring the movement of pedestrians in everyday environments is difficult, especially if accurate data are required. Typically, data pertaining to the origins and destinations of pedestrians as they move around a space can be obtained only by eith...

Banking and gender: sex equality in the financial services in Britain and Turkey. (2004)
Book
Ozbilgin, M., & Woodward, D. (2004). Banking and gender: sex equality in the financial services in Britain and Turkey. I.B. Tauris

Drawing comparisons from Turkey and Britain, countries which are at the margins of the European continent, 'Banking and Gender' argues that most of the gendered inequalities in employment are socially constructed. Exploring the historical and social... Read More about Banking and gender: sex equality in the financial services in Britain and Turkey..

A method for designing virtual places. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McCall, R., O'Neill, S., Benyon, D., Smyth, M., & Carroll, F. (2004, October). A method for designing virtual places. Presented at 7th Annual International Workshop on Presence

This paper discusses our experiences of using a
range of methods and techniques to measure the sense of
place in real and virtual environments. The paper
presents a discussion on presence and how this is linked
directly with our sense of place. F... Read More about A method for designing virtual places..

Probing the sense of place. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
O'Neill, S., McCall, R., Smyth, M., & Benyon, D. (2004, October). Probing the sense of place. Presented at 7th Annual International Workshop on Presence, Valencia, Spain

This paper describes the application and results of
two studies using a qualitative tool designed to examine
sense of place in relation to presence research in the
BENOGO project. The ‘place probe’ incorporates a
range of techniques aimed at arti... Read More about Probing the sense of place..

Active Serial Port: A Component for JCSP. Net Embedded Systems (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Clayton, S., & Kerridge, J. (2004, September). Active Serial Port: A Component for JCSP. Net Embedded Systems. Presented at Communicating Process Architectures 2004, Oxford Brookes University, UK

The javax.comm package provides basic low-level access between Java programs and external input-output devices, in particular, serial devices. Such communications are handled using event listener technology similar to that used in the AWT package. Us... Read More about Active Serial Port: A Component for JCSP. Net Embedded Systems.

Approaches to Storing and Querying Structural Information in Botanical Specimen Descriptions. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Paterson, T., & Kennedy, J. (2004, July). Approaches to Storing and Querying Structural Information in Botanical Specimen Descriptions. Presented at 21st Annual British National Conference on Databases (BNCOD21)

We are developing an ontology as a defined terminology for the taxonomic description of botanical specimens. To allow these descriptions to unambiguously refer to a given plant structure, the ontology specifies compositional relationships between ana...

The Materiality of Wearable Computers – Craft and Authentic User Experience (2004)
Journal Article
Kettley, S., & Smyth, M. (2004). The Materiality of Wearable Computers – Craft and Authentic User Experience. Design Journal, 7(2), 32-41. https://doi.org/10.2752/146069204789354381

This paper presents work undertaken as part of an ongoing research programme into wearable computers and the processes for designing personal digital artifacts that exhibit authenticity. Authenticity is discussed in its associations with contemporary... Read More about The Materiality of Wearable Computers – Craft and Authentic User Experience.

PSFGA: Parallel processing and evolutionary computation for multiobjective optimisation (2004)
Journal Article
de Toro Negro, F., Ortega, J., Ros, E., Mota, S., Paechter, B., & Martin, J. M. (2004). PSFGA: Parallel processing and evolutionary computation for multiobjective optimisation. Parallel Computing, 30(5-6), 721-739. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.parco.2003.12.012

This paper deals with the study of the cooperation between parallel processing and evolutionary computation to obtain efficient procedures for solving multiobjective optimisation problems. We propose a new algorithm called PSFGA (parallel single fron... Read More about PSFGA: Parallel processing and evolutionary computation for multiobjective optimisation.

A universal character model and ontology of defined terms for taxonomic description. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Paterson, T., Kennedy, J., Pullan, M. R., Cannon, A., Armstrong, K. E., Watson, M. F., Raguenaud, C., McDonald, S. M., & Russell, G. (2004, March). A universal character model and ontology of defined terms for taxonomic description. Presented at Data Integration in the Life Sciences. First International Workshop, DILS 2004

Taxonomists classify biological specimens into groups (taxa) on the basis of similarities between their observed features (characters). The description of these characters is therefore central to taxonomy, but there is currently no agreed model, defi...

Modelling lexical databases with formal concept analysis. (2004)
Journal Article
Priss, U., & Old, L. J. (2004). Modelling lexical databases with formal concept analysis. Journal of universal computer science J. UCS, 10, 967-984. https://doi.org/10.3217/jucs-010-08-0967

This paper provides guidelines and examples for visualising lexical relations using Formal Concept Analysis. Relations in lexical databases often form trees, imperfect trees or poly-hierarchies which can be embedded into concept lattices. Many-to-man...
