Testing and Sampling Parallel Systems (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J. (2007, July). Testing and Sampling Parallel Systems. Presented at 30th Communicating Process Architectures Conference, CPA 2007, University of Surrey, Guildford, Surrey, UK

The testing of systems using tools such as JUnit is well known to the sequential programming community. It is perhaps less well known to the parallel computing community because it relies on systems terminating so that system outputs can be compared...

Progzoo: a gentle introduction to programming. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smith, S., & Cumming, A. (2007, April). Progzoo: a gentle introduction to programming. Presented at 7th One-Day Conference on the Teaching of Programming

A fully integrated web-based learning resource has been introduced to support the teaching and learning of Java programming. Students are introduced to features of the language through a series of short questions with supporting hints and tips. This... Read More about Progzoo: a gentle introduction to programming..

A software framework for the microscopic modelling of pedestrian movement (2007)
Thesis
Kukla, R. A software framework for the microscopic modelling of pedestrian movement. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3927

A town planner, faced with the task of designing attractive walking spaces, needs a tool that will allow different designs to be compared in terms of their attractiveness as well as their effectiveness. PEDFLOW is an attempt to create such a tool. It... Read More about A software framework for the microscopic modelling of pedestrian movement.

Ensemble: embodied experiences in a sound and jewellery installation (2007)

A product line based aspect-oriented generative unit testing approach to building quality components (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Feng, Y., Liu, X., & Kerridge, J. (2007, July). A product line based aspect-oriented generative unit testing approach to building quality components. Presented at 31st Annual International Computer Software and Applications Conference (COMPSAC 2007), Beijing, China

The quality of component-based systems highly
depends on how effectively testing is carried out. To
achieve the maximal testing effectiveness, this paper
presents a product line based aspect oriented approach to
unit testing. The aspect product l... Read More about A product line based aspect-oriented generative unit testing approach to building quality components.

Adaptive PN code acquisition in multi-path spread spectrum communications using FPGA. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wei, B., Sharif, M., Binnie, D., & Almaini, A. E. A. (2007, July). Adaptive PN code acquisition in multi-path spread spectrum communications using FPGA. Presented at IEEE 13th International Symposium on Signals, Circuits and Systems, ISSCS 2007

Performance of two pseudonoise (PN) code detectors was tested. Cell averaging (CA) and order Statistics (OS) constant false alarm rates (CFAR) were analysed against mean acquisition time (MAT) and against the probability of detection (Pd). Both detec...

Carbon-friendly travel plan construction using an evolutionary algorithm (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Urquhart, N. B., & Urquhart, N. B. (2007, July). Carbon-friendly travel plan construction using an evolutionary algorithm. Presented at Proceedings of the 9th annual conference on Genetic and evolutionary computation - GECCO '07

This paper discusses the use of an evolutionary algorithm to design workplace travel plans, to promote car sharing and reduce carbon emissions from single-occupancy motor vehicles.

How affinity influences tolerance in an idiotypic network. (2007)
Journal Article
Hart, E., Bersini, H., & Santos, F. (2007). How affinity influences tolerance in an idiotypic network. Journal of Theoretical Biology, 249, 422-436. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtbi.2007.07.019

The mutability of bacteriophages offers a particular advantage in the treatment of bacterial infections not afforded by other antimicrobial therapies. When phage-resistant bacteria emerge, mutation may generate phage capable of exploiting and thus li... Read More about How affinity influences tolerance in an idiotypic network..

A digital photographic method for 3D reconstruction of standing tree shape. (2007)
Journal Article
Hapca, A. I., Mothe, F., & Leban, J.-M. (2007). A digital photographic method for 3D reconstruction of standing tree shape. Annals of Forest Science, 64(6), 631-637. https://doi.org/10.1051/forest%3A2007041

A digital photographic method is presented which is able to reconstruct the profile of the stem on standing trees up to a height of 12 m and to provide a fine level of detail. The method uses two digital photographs taken at 90° to each other and doe... Read More about A digital photographic method for 3D reconstruction of standing tree shape..
