Researchers in Information Systems have produced a rich collection of metaanalyses and models of factors influencing the uptake of information technologies. In the domain of CSCW, however, these models have largely been neglected, and while there are...

Over the last few years we have been exploring an alternative conceptual isation of human-computer interaction (HCl) that sees HCl as the navigation of information spaces (Benyon and Höök, 1997). As a corollary cognitive engineers can be seen as the... Read More about Navigation: within and beyond the metaphor in interface design..

The relationship between immunological memory and a class of associative memories known as sparse distributed memories (SDM) is well known. This paper proposes a new model for clustering non-stationary data based on a combination of salient features...

Much of current robot research is about learning tasks in which the task to be achieved is pre-specified, a suitable technology for the task is chosen and the learning process is experimentally investigated. A more interesting research question is ho... Read More about A role for immunology in 'next generation' robots..

Controlling a simulated Khepera with an XCS classifier system with memory. (2003)

Webb, A., Hart, E., Ross, P., & Lawson, A. (2003, September). Controlling a simulated Khepera with an XCS classifier system with memory. Presented at 7th European Conference on Artificial Life, ECAL 2003: Advances in Artificial Life

Autonomous agents commonly suffer from perceptual aliasing in which differing situations are perceived as identical by the robots sensors, yet require different courses of action. One technique for addressing this problem is to use additional interna... Read More about Controlling a simulated Khepera with an XCS classifier system with memory..

The idea underlying hyper-heuristics is to discover some
combination of familiar, straightforward heuristics that performs very well across a whole range of problems. To be worthwhile, such a combination should outperform all of the constituent heur...

Evaluating soundscapes as a means of creating a sense of place (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, P., McGregor, I., Turner, S., & Carroll, F. (2003, July). Evaluating soundscapes as a means of creating a sense of place. Presented at International Conference on Auditory Display, ICAD 2003

We report an empirical study into the creation of, and
response to, a soundscape of a computer centre. We contrast
the use of presence questionnaires, as means of assessing the sense of being-there, against a more phenomenological
approach. We con... Read More about Evaluating soundscapes as a means of creating a sense of place.

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, P., & Turner, S. (2003, January). Two phenomenological studies of place. Paper presented at BCS- HCI Conference 2003

We introduce our initial investigations into the phenomenology of place
