Synchronisation primitives for highly parallel discrete event simulations (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J., Welch, P., & Wood, D. (1999, January). Synchronisation primitives for highly parallel discrete event simulations. Presented at HICSS 32 - 32nd Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, Maui, HI, USA

A new set of synchronisation primitives is described that simplifies the control of very large numbers of fine-grained parallel processes. The new primitives are derived from the multi-way event synchronisation and choice defined in communicating seq...

Providing views and closure for the object data management group object model (1999)
Journal Article
Roantree, M., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. (1999). Providing views and closure for the object data management group object model. Information and Software Technology, 41(15), 1037-1044. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0950-5849%2899%2900042-7

The ODMG Object Model uses a standard for object-oriented database designers,
while attempting to address some issues of interoperability. This research is focused
on the viability of using the ODMG data model as a canonical data model in a
multid... Read More about Providing views and closure for the object data management group object model.

Metaphors and models: conceptual foundations of representations for interactive systems design (1999)
Journal Article
Benyon, D., & Imaz, M. (1999). Metaphors and models: conceptual foundations of representations for interactive systems design. Human-Computer Interaction, 14(1-2), 159-189. https://doi.org/10.1080/07370024.1999.9667268

When system developers design a computer system (or other information artifact), they must inevitably make judgments as to how to abstract the worksystem and how to represent this abstraction in their designs. In the past, such abstractions have been... Read More about Metaphors and models: conceptual foundations of representations for interactive systems design.

An adaptive mutation scheme for a penalty-based graph-colouring GA. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ross, P., & Hart, E. (1998, September). An adaptive mutation scheme for a penalty-based graph-colouring GA

The folklore of evolutionary algorithms still seems to contain some gross over-generalistions, such as that direct encodings are inferior to indirect ones, that penalty-function methods are often poor, and that observed performance on a few instances...

Political parties in the information age: from 'mass party' to leadership organization? (1998)
Book Chapter
Smith, C. F. (1998). Political parties in the information age: from 'mass party' to leadership organization?. In I. Snellen, & W. Donk (Eds.), Public Administration in an Information Age, A Handbook (175-190). IOS Press

In providing an overview of British political parties on the threshold of the 'information age', this chapter argues that any thorough analysis is incomplete without addressing their use of new information and communications technologies (ICTs). The... Read More about Political parties in the information age: from 'mass party' to leadership organization?.
