An implementation of the extended technology acceptance model for understanding students' perceptions of learning management systems: a study within tertiary institutions in Saudia Arabia (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Rutter, M. J., Alshehri, A., & Smith, S. (2017, March). An implementation of the extended technology acceptance model for understanding students' perceptions of learning management systems: a study within tertiary institutions in Saudia Arabia. Poster presented at 11th annual International Technology, Education and Development Conference

The rapid evolution of e-learning around the world is inspiring many educational and business institutions to adopt it. E-learning is motivated by compelling advantages such as geographical reach, flexibility and cost effectiveness in course delivery...

A critical analysis of e-government evaluation models at national and local municipal levels (2015)
Journal Article
Zahran, D. I., Al-Nuaim, H. A., Rutter, M. J., & Benyon, D. (2015). A critical analysis of e-government evaluation models at national and local municipal levels. Electronic Journal of e-Government, 13, 28-42

The importance of e-government models lies in their offering a basis to measure and guide e-government. There is still no agreement on how to assess a government online. Most of the e-government models are not based on research, nor are they validate... Read More about A critical analysis of e-government evaluation models at national and local municipal levels.

A comparative approach to web evaluation and website evaluation methods. (2014)
Journal Article
Zahran, D., Al-Nuaim, H., Rutter, M., & Benyon, D. (2014). A comparative approach to web evaluation and website evaluation methods. International journal of public information systems, 10, 21-39

There is still a lack of an engineering approach for building Web systems, and the field of measuring the Web is not yet mature. In particular, there is an uncertainty in the selection of evaluation methods, and there are risks of standardizing inade...

Tracking pedestrians using visible and infrared systems (2005)
Conference Proceeding
Armitage, A., Binnie, D., Chamberlain, T., Nilsson, M., & Rutter, M. (2005). Tracking pedestrians using visible and infrared systems. In Universities Transport Study Group conference (1-9)

In this paper, we will describe a number of research projects at Napier University on pedestrian tracking. This work started with systems based on ordinary cameras working at visible wavelengths. This work has expanded to include infrared imaging sys... Read More about Tracking pedestrians using visible and infrared systems.

Open-loop transversal equaliser of optimal length (1983)
Journal Article
Rutter, M., & Cowan, C. F. N. (1983). Open-loop transversal equaliser of optimal length. Electronics Letters, 19, 208-210. https://doi.org/10.1049/el%3A19830144

As a rule, in equaliser training algorithms complexity increases with efficiency. Unfortunately, complex recursive algorithms do not suit high-bandwidth systems. This letter describes a nonrecursive technique for the derivation of the weight vect... Read More about Open-loop transversal equaliser of optimal length.
