Quality metrics for internet applications: developing new from old. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhou, S., & Liu, X. (2007, July). Quality metrics for internet applications: developing new from old

This discussion concerns ?metrics?. More specifically, we discuss quantitative metrics for evaluating Internet applications: what should we quantify, monitor and analyse in order to characterise, evaluate and develop Internet applications based on re...

Immunological inspiration for building a new generation of autonomic systems. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., Davoudani, D., & McEwan, C. (2007, October). Immunological inspiration for building a new generation of autonomic systems

Autonomic computing systems of the future will be required to exhibit a number of properties which cannot be engineered using current technologies and algorithms. The most direct inspiration for building such systems is nature, where for example the... Read More about Immunological inspiration for building a new generation of autonomic systems..

Revisiting the Central and Peripheral Immune System (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McEwan, C., Hart, E., & Paechter, B. (2007, August). Revisiting the Central and Peripheral Immune System. Presented at ICARIS 2007: International Conference on Artificial Immune Systems, Santos, Brazil

The idiotypic network has a long and chequered history in both theoretical immunology and Artificial Immune Systems. In terms of the latter, the drive for engineering applications has led to a diluted interpretation of the immunological models. Resea...

Collecting Pedestrian Trajectory Data In Real-time (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J., Keller, S., Chamberlain, T., & Sumpter, N. (2005, September). Collecting Pedestrian Trajectory Data In Real-time. Presented at Pedestrian and Evacuation Dynamics 2005, Vienna

The ability to collect pedestrian flow data, without the need for subsequent post-processing and analysis to extract measurements such as density and flow rate is a goal, which up to now, has proved infeasible on a large scale for a number of reasons...

Testing and Sampling Parallel Systems (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J. (2007, July). Testing and Sampling Parallel Systems. Presented at 30th Communicating Process Architectures Conference, CPA 2007, University of Surrey, Guildford, Surrey, UK

The testing of systems using tools such as JUnit is well known to the sequential programming community. It is perhaps less well known to the parallel computing community because it relies on systems terminating so that system outputs can be compared...

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...

Visual Exploration of Alternative Taxonomies through Concepts (2007)
Journal Article
Graham, M., & Kennedy, J. (2007). Visual Exploration of Alternative Taxonomies through Concepts. Ecological Informatics, 2(3), 248-261. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoinf.2007.07.004

A graphical user interface is presented that allows users of taxonomic data to explore concept relationships between conflicting but related taxonomic classifications.
Ecological analyses that use taxonomic metadata depend on accurate naming of spe... Read More about Visual Exploration of Alternative Taxonomies through Concepts.

A product line based aspect-oriented generative unit testing approach to building quality components (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Feng, Y., Liu, X., & Kerridge, J. (2007, July). A product line based aspect-oriented generative unit testing approach to building quality components. Presented at 31st Annual International Computer Software and Applications Conference (COMPSAC 2007), Beijing, China

The quality of component-based systems highly
depends on how effectively testing is carried out. To
achieve the maximal testing effectiveness, this paper
presents a product line based aspect oriented approach to
unit testing. The aspect product l... Read More about A product line based aspect-oriented generative unit testing approach to building quality components.

Mobility in JCSP: new mobile channel and mobile process models. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chalmers, K., Kerridge, J., & Romdhani, I. (2007, December). Mobility in JCSP: new mobile channel and mobile process models. Presented at Communicating Process Architectures 2007 WoTug-30

The original package developed for network mobility in JCSP, although useful, revealed some limitations in the underlying models permitting code mobility and channel migration. In this paper, we discuss these limitations, as well as describe the new... Read More about Mobility in JCSP: new mobile channel and mobile process models..

Integrating and extending JCSP. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Welch, P., Brown, N., Moores, J., Chalmers, K., & Sputh, B. (2007, December). Integrating and extending JCSP. Presented at Communicating Process Architectures 2007 WoTug-30

This paper presents the extended and re-integrated JCSP library of CSP packages for Java. It integrates the differing advances made by Quickstone's JCSP Network Edition and the "core" library maintained at Kent. A more secure API for connecting netwo...

Carbon-friendly travel plan construction using an evolutionary algorithm (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Urquhart, N. B., & Urquhart, N. B. (2007, July). Carbon-friendly travel plan construction using an evolutionary algorithm. Presented at Proceedings of the 9th annual conference on Genetic and evolutionary computation - GECCO '07

This paper discusses the use of an evolutionary algorithm to design workplace travel plans, to promote car sharing and reduce carbon emissions from single-occupancy motor vehicles.
