In Africa the adoption of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) varies considerably from one country to another, for example between Kenya and Tanzania on the one hand and Ethiopia on the other. In Kenya and Tanzania telecommunications sy... Read More about Factors Affecting the Adoption of Information and Communication Technologies: Small Hotels and Tour Operators in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Defining Acceptable Interaction for Universal Access (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Keates, S. (2015, August). Defining Acceptable Interaction for Universal Access. Presented at 9th International Conference, UAHCI 2015, Los Angeles, USA

Many new assistive input systems developed to meet the needs of users with functional impairments fail to make it out of the research laboratory and into regular use by the intended users. This paper examines some of the reasons for this and focuses... Read More about Defining Acceptable Interaction for Universal Access.

The origins of macroscopic quantum coherence in high temperature superconductivity. (2015)
Journal Article
Turner, P., & Nottale, L. (2015). The origins of macroscopic quantum coherence in high temperature superconductivity. Physica C: Superconductivity and its Applications, 515, 15-30. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physc.2015.04.006

A new, theoretical approach to macroscopic quantum coherence and superconductivity in the p-type (hole doped) cuprates is proposed. The theory includes mechanisms to account for e-pair coupling in the superconducting and pseudogap phases and their in...

Enabling Real-Time Context-Aware Collaboration through 5G and Mobile Edge Computing (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nunna, S., Kousaridas, A., Ibrahim, M., Dillinger, M., Thuemmler, C., Feussner, H., & Schneider, A. (2015, April). Enabling Real-Time Context-Aware Collaboration through 5G and Mobile Edge Computing. Presented at 2015 12th International Conference on Information Technology - New Generations, Las Vegas, NV, USA

Creating context-aware ad hoc collaborative systems
remains to be one of the primary hurdles hampering the ubiquitous
deployment of IT and communication services. Especially
under mission-critical scenarios, these services must often adhere
to st... Read More about Enabling Real-Time Context-Aware Collaboration through 5G and Mobile Edge Computing.

Finding middle ground? Multi-objective Natural Language Generation from time-series data (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gkatzia, D., Hastie, H., & Lemon, O. (2014, April). Finding middle ground? Multi-objective Natural Language Generation from time-series data. Presented at Proceedings of the 14th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics, volume 2: Short Papers, Gothenburg, Sweden

A Natural Language Generation (NLG) system is able to generate text from nonlinguistic data, ideally personalising the content to a user’s specific needs. In some cases, however, there are multiple stakeholders with their own individual goals, needs... Read More about Finding middle ground? Multi-objective Natural Language Generation from time-series data.

Optimal Selection of a Connected Reserve Network. (2006)
Journal Article
Ă–nal, H., & Briers, R. A. (2006). Optimal Selection of a Connected Reserve Network. Operations Research, 54(2), 379-388. https://doi.org/10.1287/opre.1060.0272

Spatial considerations are important in conservation reserve design. A particularly important spatial requirement is the connectivity of selected sites. Direct connections between reserve sites increase the likelihood of species persistence by allowi... Read More about Optimal Selection of a Connected Reserve Network..
