Usage of gestures along with other interaction modes in collaborative design (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Vasantha, G., Corney, J., Prakash Ramesh, H., Mouli Sugavanam, C., & Chakrabarti, A. (2014, September). Usage of gestures along with other interaction modes in collaborative design. Presented at 12th International Conference on Manufacturing Research, Southampton, UK

Currently many computer-aided multi-modal interaction tools are under development, and some have demonstrated their applications in design. To avoid disruptive transformation from current design tools to multi-modal designing, there is a need for sev...

Operational optimisation of water distribution networks (2009)
Thesis
Lopez-Ibanez, M. Operational optimisation of water distribution networks. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3044

Water distribution networks are a fundamental part of any modern city and their daily operations constitute a significant expenditure in terms of energy and maintenance costs. Careful scheduling of pump operations may lead to significant energy savin... Read More about Operational optimisation of water distribution networks.

Dynamic optimisation of an industrial web process (2008)
Journal Article
Soufian, M. (2008). Dynamic optimisation of an industrial web process. International Journal of Multiphysics, 2(3), 291-312. https://doi.org/10.1260/175095408786927471

An industrial web process has been studied and it is shown that the underlying physics of such processes governs by the Navier-Stokes partial differential equations with moving boundary conditions, which in turn have to be determined by the solution...

Defining acceptable levels of accessibility (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Keates, S. (2006, September). Defining acceptable levels of accessibility. Presented at 9th ERCIM Workshop on User Interfaces for All, 2006, Königswinter, Germany

This paper examines the issues facing companies when designing products and services for equitable access, particularly in view of the legislated requirements that they have to meet. The concepts of acceptability and accessibility are discussed and a... Read More about Defining acceptable levels of accessibility.

Effect of age and Parkinson's disease on cursor positioning using a mouse (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Keates, S., & Trewin, S. (2005, October). Effect of age and Parkinson's disease on cursor positioning using a mouse. Presented at 7th international ACM SIGACCESS conference on Computers and accessibility Assets '05, Baltimore, MD, USA

Point-and-click tasks are known to present difficulties to users with physical impairments, particularly motor- or vision-based, and to older adults. This paper presents the results of a study to quantify and understand the effects of age and impairm... Read More about Effect of age and Parkinson's disease on cursor positioning using a mouse.

Developing and evaluating a booklet for inclusive design (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dong, H., Keates, S., & Clarkson, P. J. (2004, March). Developing and evaluating a booklet for inclusive design. Presented at 2nd Cambridge Workshop on Universal Access and Assistive Technology (incorporating the 5th Cambridge Workshop on Rehabilitation Robotics): Designing a more inclusive world, Cambridge, UK

The aim of inclusive design is to make products accessible to the widest possible population. Although inclusive design is not a new genre, given that similar ideas already existed in the 1970s, the context today is different from that of thirty year...

In this paper an approach based on an evolutionary algorithm to design synchronous sequential logic circuits with minimum number of logic gates is suggested. The proposed method consists of four main stages. The first stage is concerned with the use... Read More about Evolutionary algorithms and their use in the design of sequential logic circuits..

Quantifying design exclusion (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Clarkson, P., & Keates, S. (2002, March). Quantifying design exclusion. Presented at Cambridge workshop on UA and AT ’02., Trinity Hall, Cambridge

Products make demands of their users which effect their utility and usability. As a result, those users who do not have the capability to use the product are denied access to it. For example, a kettle that is so heavy that a weaker user cannot lift i... Read More about Quantifying design exclusion.
