Generic Matrices in occam3(e) (1995)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chutimaskul, W., & Kerridge, J. (1994, October). Generic Matrices in occam3(e). Presented at NATUG-7: Seventh Conference of the North American Transputer Users Group, Atlanta, GA

The possibility of enhancing the occam3 type system to support genericity for the purpose of reusability can be realised by means of user-defined parameterised types (UPTs) and overloading. A UPT is a mechanism for the reuse of data types and is empl... Read More about Generic Matrices in occam3(e).

Generic Abstract Data Types in occam'3 (e) (1995)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chutimaskul, W., & Kerridge, J. (1994, November). Generic Abstract Data Types in occam'3 (e). Presented at PCAT-94, Wollongong, Australia

This paper describes the library mechanism for defining generic abstract data types (generic ADTs) as an extension to occam3 (occam3(e)). A generic ADT must be able to reuse either base data types or pre-defined data types and existing operations.... Read More about Generic Abstract Data Types in occam'3 (e).

Using a conceptual data language to describe a database and its interface (1995)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mitchell, K., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. J. (1995, July). Using a conceptual data language to describe a database and its interface. Presented at 13th British National Conference on Database - BNCOD13, 1995, University of Manchester

We propose a conceptual approach to defining interfaces to databases which uses the features of a fully object oriented data language to specify interface objects combined with database objects. This achieves a uniform, natural way of describing data... Read More about Using a conceptual data language to describe a database and its interface.

National Lotteries: An Exercise in Parallel Data Management Design (1995)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J. M., & North, S. (1995, December). National Lotteries: An Exercise in Parallel Data Management Design. Presented at Transputer Applications and Systems ’95

The advent of a National Lottery in the United Kingdom prompted the thought about how one would design a highly parallel system to manage such an activity, especially, as the solution adopted by the lottery company was to use a parallel database mach...

Prediction of electric fields in and around PCBs — 3D finite-difference time-domain approach with parallel processing (1995)
Journal Article
Buchanan, W. J., & Gupta, N. K. (1995). Prediction of electric fields in and around PCBs — 3D finite-difference time-domain approach with parallel processing. Advances in engineering software, 23(2), 111-114. https://doi.org/10.1016/0965-9978%2895%2900068-8

The authors have taken the 3D FDTD approach to simulate the propagation of electrical signals within and around printed circuit boards (PCBs). This relates to the work currently being carried out into the propagation of very high speed digital pulses...
