A critical analysis of e-government evaluation models at national and local municipal levels (2015)
Journal Article
Zahran, D. I., Al-Nuaim, H. A., Rutter, M. J., & Benyon, D. (2015). A critical analysis of e-government evaluation models at national and local municipal levels. Electronic Journal of e-Government, 13, 28-42

The importance of e-government models lies in their offering a basis to measure and guide e-government. There is still no agreement on how to assess a government online. Most of the e-government models are not based on research, nor are they validate... Read More about A critical analysis of e-government evaluation models at national and local municipal levels.

Feature selection Inspired classifier ensemble reduction. (2014)
Journal Article
Diao, R., Chao, F., Peng, T., Snooke, N., & Shen, Q. (2014). Feature selection Inspired classifier ensemble reduction. IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics, 44, 1259-1268. https://doi.org/10.1109/TCYB.2013.2281820

Classifier ensembles constitute one of the main research directions in machine learning and data mining. The use of multiple classifiers generally allows better predictive performance than that achievable with a single model. Several approaches exist...

Evolution feature oriented model driven product line engineering approach for synergistic and dynamic service evolution in clouds: A04BPEL3.0 proposal. (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wang, Z., Chalmers, K., & Liu, X. (2013, June). Evolution feature oriented model driven product line engineering approach for synergistic and dynamic service evolution in clouds: A04BPEL3.0 proposal. Presented at International Conference on Information Society (i-Society 2013). University of Toronto, Canada

Model Driven based approach for Service Evolution in Clouds will mainly focus on the reusable evolution patterns' advantage to solve evolution problems. During the process, evolution pattern will be driven by MDA models to pattern aspects. Weaving th...

Modelling of nonuniform magnetic field effects on partially magnetised Y-junction circulator (2009)
Thesis
Chung, H. Modelling of nonuniform magnetic field effects on partially magnetised Y-junction circulator. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2563

The success of modelling partially magnetised linear 3-port junction circulator, which is non-uniformly biased, depends chiefly on the precise representation of the strength of the intrinsic magnetic field in the axial direction across the ferrite ma...

Representation in the (Artificial) Immune System (2009)
Journal Article
McEwan, C., & Hart, E. (2009). Representation in the (Artificial) Immune System. Journal of Mathematical Modelling and Algorithms, 8(2), 125-149. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10852-009-9104-6

Much of contemporary research in Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) has partitioned into either algorithmic machine learning and optimisation, or, modelling biologically plausible dynamical systems, with little overlap between. We propose that this dich... Read More about Representation in the (Artificial) Immune System.

A configuration approach for selecting a data warehouse architecture (2008)
Thesis
Weir, R. A configuration approach for selecting a data warehouse architecture. (Thesis). Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2445

Living in the Information Age, organisations must be able to exploit their data alongside the traditional economic resources of man, machine and money. Accordingly, organisations implement data warehouses to organise and consolidate their data, which... Read More about A configuration approach for selecting a data warehouse architecture.
