Ad-hoc routing metrics and applied weighting for QoS support (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Migas, N., & Buchanan, W. J. (2008, April). Ad-hoc routing metrics and applied weighting for QoS support. Presented at IEEE International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing, 2008. IPDPS 2008

In the vast majority of ad-hoc routing protocols, the hop-counting mechanisms for identifying the optimal route are dominant. However, this approach oversimplifies such a complex decision by ignoring the fact that participating devices may have consi...

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Craig, P., & Kennedy, J. (2008, January). Concept relationship editor: a visual interface to support the assertion of synonymy relationships between taxonomic classifications. Presented at Visualization and Data Analysis 2008

An increasingly common approach being taken by taxonomists to define the relationships between taxa in alternative hierarchical classifications is to use a set-based notation which states relationship between two taxa from alternative classifications...

People and Computers XXI - HCI… but not as we know it. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
(2007, September). People and Computers XXI - HCI… but not as we know it. Presented at 21st British HCI Group Annual Conference

At first sight the two themes of this year’s People and
Computers volumes seem to send conflicting messages. On the one hand, “Happy 21st” suggests that British HCI as a
discipline has much to celebrate, having grown from its
inception at the 1985... Read More about People and Computers XXI - HCI… but not as we know it..
