An Appreciation of the Subtleties of Shared Channels in occam3 (1993)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Waithe, S., & Kerridge, J. (1993, March). An Appreciation of the Subtleties of Shared Channels in occam3. Presented at 16th World occam* and Transputer User Group Technical Meeting (WoTUG-16), Sheffield, UK

By exploiting virtual channels implemented on the INMOS T9000 transputer, occam3 offers the facility of sharing. This allows us to declare a channel as SHARED which then allows an arbitrary number of processes to communicate across this channel. By m...

Benyon, D. (1993). Adaptive systems: A solution to usability problems. User Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction, 3(1), 65-87. https://doi.org/10.1007/bf01099425

Improving the usability of computer systems is perhaps the most important goal of human-computer interaction research. Current approaches to usability engineering tend to focus on simply improving the interface. An alternative is to build intelligenc...

Parallel processing techniques in EMP propagation using 3D finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. (1993)
Journal Article
Buchanan, W. J., & Gupta, N. K. (1993). Parallel processing techniques in EMP propagation using 3D finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. Advances in engineering software, 18(3), 149-159. https://doi.org/10.1016/0965-9978%2893%2990062-X

The authors have applied the 3D FDTD technique to simulate the propagation of electrical signals on a microstrip antenna using a four-transputer array connected to a 386-based PC. This relates to work currently being carried out into the propagation... Read More about Parallel processing techniques in EMP propagation using 3D finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method..

Viewing objects. (1993)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barclay, P. J., & Kennedy, J. (1993, July). Viewing objects. Presented at 11th British National Conference on Database System, Keele, UK

This paper examines the incorporation of database views into an object oriented conceptual model. An approach is presented where views are themselves objects, instances of view classes. These view objects provide new ways of interacting with preexist... Read More about Viewing objects..

Since the early 1980's, intelligent and adaptive systems have appeared and have been written about in a variety of guises. Although there are many differences between such systems as adaptive user interfaces, intelligent help systems and explanation...
