Making interactions visible: tools for social browsing. (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Davenport, E., Connolly, R., Spence, R., Buckner, K., Whyte, A., & Barr, K. (1999, May). Making interactions visible: tools for social browsing. Presented at CHI EA '99

The authors describe the problem of 'community myopia': a lack of awareness of people and resources that might assist members of a community to carry out tasks. They present a prototype social browser in two stages: a basic computer based social netw... Read More about Making interactions visible: tools for social browsing..

Groups, adaptation, coordination, translation (GACT): digital genres and the organisational genome (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Davenport, E. (1999, January). Groups, adaptation, coordination, translation (GACT): digital genres and the organisational genome

Research agendas in different disciplines have addressed ways in which groups adapt to their environments, coordinate interactions and translate such activities into practices which can be shared by other groups. This paper incorporates research on d... Read More about Groups, adaptation, coordination, translation (GACT): digital genres and the organisational genome.

Integrating measurement techniques in an Object-Oriented systems design process. (1999)
Thesis
Li-Thiao-Te, P. systems design process. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/9468

The theme of this thesis is the assessment of quality in class hierarchies. In particular, the notion of
inheritance and the mechanism of redefinition from a modelling perspective are reviewed. It is
shown that, in Object-Oriented languages, contro... Read More about Integrating measurement techniques in an Object-Oriented systems design process..

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.

Excluding inclusions [PCB inspection] (1999)
Journal Article
Scott, A. V., & Buchanan, W. J. (1999). Excluding inclusions [PCB inspection]. Manufacturing Engineer, 78(4), 154-156. https://doi.org/10.1049/me%3A19990403

The authors look at the causes of a persistent annoyance for manufacturers of printed circuit boards, and suggest some steps that would help to speed inspection and reduce both genuine faults and false rejects from the visual inspection system. This... Read More about Excluding inclusions [PCB inspection].

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.

Multiple traffic signal control using a genetic algorithm (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kalganova, T., Russell, G., & Cumming, A. (1999, December). Multiple traffic signal control using a genetic algorithm. Presented at 4th International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms, ICANNGA '99

Optimising traffic signal timings for a multiple-junction road network is a difficult but important problem. The essential difficulty of this problem is that the traffic signals need to coordinate their behaviours to achieve the common goal of optimi...

The continuous equilibrium optimal network design problem: a genetic approach. (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cree, N. D., Maher, M., & Paechter, B. (1996, September). The continuous equilibrium optimal network design problem: a genetic approach. Presented at Transportation Networks: Recent Methodological Advances 4th EURO Transportation Meeting

A genetic algorithm (GA) program for providing a solution to the Continuous Equilibrium Network Design Problem (NDP) is introduced following a general discussion of the network design problem and genetic algorithms. A description of the current GA op... Read More about The continuous equilibrium optimal network design problem: a genetic approach..
