JCSP.mobile: a package enabling mobile processes and channels. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chalmers, K., & Kerridge, J. (2005, September). JCSP.mobile: a package enabling mobile processes and channels. Presented at Communicating Process Architectures 2005 WoTug 28

The JCSPNet package from Quickstone provides the capability of transparently creating a network of processes that run across a TCP/IP network. The package also contains mechanisms for creating mobile processes and channels through the use of filters... Read More about JCSP.mobile: a package enabling mobile processes and channels..

Scientific names are ambiguous as identifiers for biological taxa: their context and definition are required for accurate data integration (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kennedy, J., Kukla, R., & Paterson, T. (2005, July). Scientific names are ambiguous as identifiers for biological taxa: their context and definition are required for accurate data integration. Presented at Second International Workshop, DILS 2005, San Diego, CA, USA

Biologists use scientific names to label the organisms described in
their data; however, these names are not unique identifiers for taxonomic entities.
Alternative taxonomic classifications may apply the same name, associated
with alternative defi... Read More about Scientific names are ambiguous as identifiers for biological taxa: their context and definition are required for accurate data integration.

Time-series Explorer: An Animated Information Visualisation for Microarray Time-course Data (2005)
Journal Article
Craig, P., Kennedy, J., & Cumming, A. (2005). Time-series Explorer: An Animated Information Visualisation for Microarray Time-course Data. BMC Bioinformatics, 6(Suppl 3), P8. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2105-6-S3-P8

Microarray technologies are a relatively new development that allow biologists to monitor the activity of thousands of genes (normally around 8,000) in parallel across multiple stages of a biological process. While this new perspective on biological... Read More about Time-series Explorer: An Animated Information Visualisation for Microarray Time-course Data.

Instant messaging: using log files to identify patterns of interaction in group of teenage users. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Davison, B., & Buckner, K. (2005, April). Instant messaging: using log files to identify patterns of interaction in group of teenage users. Presented at IFIP WG 9.3 HOIT2005 Conference, York

This paper presents preliminary findings on teenagers’ use of instant messaging (IM) as an example of an Internet technology. The results are quantitative, being drawn from the information held in users’ IM log files. The current purpose is to valida...

Groovy Parallel! A Return to the Spirit of occam? (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J., Barclay, K., & Savage, J. (2005, September). Groovy Parallel! A Return to the Spirit of occam?. Presented at 28th Communicating Process Architectures Conference, CPA 2005, Eindhoven, The Netherlands

For some years there has been much activity in developing CSP-like extensions to a number of common programming languages. In particular, a number of groups have looked at extensions to Java. Recent developments in the Java platform have resulted in... Read More about Groovy Parallel! A Return to the Spirit of occam?.

Extending Taxonomic Visualisation to Incorporate Synonymy and Structural Markers (2005)
Journal Article
Graham, M., & Kennedy, J. (2005). Extending Taxonomic Visualisation to Incorporate Synonymy and Structural Markers. Information Visualization, 4(3), 206-223. https://doi.org/10.1057/palgrave.ivs.9500096

The visualisation of taxonomic hierarchies has evolved from indented lists of names to techniques that can display thousands of nodes and onto hundreds of thousands of nodes over multiple taxonomies. However, challenges remain within multiple hierarc... Read More about Extending Taxonomic Visualisation to Incorporate Synonymy and Structural Markers.

The Prometheus Description Model: an examination of the taxonomic description-building process and its representation (2005)
Journal Article
Pullan, M. R., Armstrong, K. E., Paterson, T., Cannon, A., Kennedy, J. B., Watson, M. F., McDonald, S. M., & Raguenaud, C. (2005). The Prometheus Description Model: an examination of the taxonomic description-building process and its representation. Taxon, 54(3), 751-765. https://doi.org/10.2307/25065431

A model for representing taxonomic descriptive data is presented. The model has been developed in response to the growing requirement for the global exchange of descriptive data. Meaningful exchange of data requires that data be represented in a form...

Coordinated parallel views for the exploratory analysis of microarray time-course data. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Craig, P., Kennedy, J., & Cumming, A. (2005, July). Coordinated parallel views for the exploratory analysis of microarray time-course data. Presented at Third International Conference on Coordinated & Multiple Views in Exploratory Visualization

Microarray time-course data relate to the recorded activity of thousands of genes, in parallel, over multiple discrete points in time during a biological process. Existing techniques that attempt to support the exploratory analysis of this data rely... Read More about Coordinated parallel views for the exploratory analysis of microarray time-course data..

Online assessment and checking of SQL: detecting and preventing plagiarism. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Russell, G., & Cumming, A. (2005, July). Online assessment and checking of SQL: detecting and preventing plagiarism

The automatic checking of online assessments and tutorials offers a significant advantage to students. Such students can work out-of-hours, from home or work, managing their own time allocation. This allows formal practical sessions to concentrate on... Read More about Online assessment and checking of SQL: detecting and preventing plagiarism..

Achieving seamless component composition through scenario-based deep adaptation and generation (2005)

‘Classic’ accounts of social capital have emerged
in accounts of stable networks or institutional
environments. These conditions do not apply in
the case of many firms – a case in point being
small firm networks that rely on rapid turnover of
