Generic Matrices in occam3(e) (1995)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chutimaskul, W., & Kerridge, J. (1994, October). Generic Matrices in occam3(e). Presented at NATUG-7: Seventh Conference of the North American Transputer Users Group, Atlanta, GA

The possibility of enhancing the occam3 type system to support genericity for the purpose of reusability can be realised by means of user-defined parameterised types (UPTs) and overloading. A UPT is a mechanism for the reuse of data types and is empl... Read More about Generic Matrices in occam3(e).

The use of local search suggestion lists for improving the solution of timetable problems with evolutionary algorithms. (1995)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Paechter, B., Cumming, A., & Luchian, H. (1995, April). The use of local search suggestion lists for improving the solution of timetable problems with evolutionary algorithms. Presented at AISB International Workshop on Evolutionary Computing 1996, Brighton, UK

This paper presents a new genetic representation for timetabling with evolutionary algorithms. The representation involves the use of suggestion lists for the placement of events into timeslots. A set of recombination operators is defined for the new... Read More about The use of local search suggestion lists for improving the solution of timetable problems with evolutionary algorithms..

Using a conceptual data language to describe a database and its interface (1995)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mitchell, K., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. J. (1995, July). Using a conceptual data language to describe a database and its interface. Presented at 13th British National Conference on Database - BNCOD13, 1995, University of Manchester

We propose a conceptual approach to defining interfaces to databases which uses the features of a fully object oriented data language to specify interface objects combined with database objects. This achieves a uniform, natural way of describing data... Read More about Using a conceptual data language to describe a database and its interface.

One-bit adder design based on Reed-Muller expansions (1995)
Journal Article
Guan, Z., & Almaini, A. E. A. (1995). One-bit adder design based on Reed-Muller expansions. International Journal of Electronics, 79(5), 519-529. https://doi.org/10.1080/00207219508926289

It has been claimed for some time that the Reed-Muller technique can yield a simpler arithmetic circuit if it is employed in the design procedure. In fact, no practical application in this field can be found in the open literature. This paper attempt... Read More about One-bit adder design based on Reed-Muller expansions.

Using genetic algorithms for the variable ordering of Reed-Muller binary decision diagrams (1995)
Journal Article
Almaini, A. E. A., & Zhuang, N. (1995). Using genetic algorithms for the variable ordering of Reed-Muller binary decision diagrams. Microelectronics Journal, 26(5), 471-480. https://doi.org/10.1016/0026-2692%2895%2998949-R

Results are reported of the use of genetic algorithms for the variable ordering problem in Reed-Muller binary decision diagrams. Tests carried out on benchmark examples and randomly generated functions are very encouraging and compare favourably with...

Logic synthesis and optimisation using Reed-Muller expansions (1995)
Thesis
McKenzie, L. M. Logic synthesis and optimisation using Reed-Muller expansions. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4276

This thesis presents techniques and algorithms which may be employed to represent, generate and optimise particular categories of Exclusive-OR SumOf-Products (ESOP) forms. The work documented herein concentrates on two types of Reed-Muller (RM) expre... Read More about Logic synthesis and optimisation using Reed-Muller expansions.

National Lotteries: An Exercise in Parallel Data Management Design (1995)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J. M., & North, S. (1995, December). National Lotteries: An Exercise in Parallel Data Management Design. Presented at Transputer Applications and Systems ’95

The advent of a National Lottery in the United Kingdom prompted the thought about how one would design a highly parallel system to manage such an activity, especially, as the solution adopted by the lottery company was to use a parallel database mach...

Prediction of electric fields in and around PCBs — 3D finite-difference time-domain approach with parallel processing (1995)
Journal Article
Buchanan, W. J., & Gupta, N. K. (1995). Prediction of electric fields in and around PCBs — 3D finite-difference time-domain approach with parallel processing. Advances in engineering software, 23(2), 111-114. https://doi.org/10.1016/0965-9978%2895%2900068-8

The authors have taken the 3D FDTD approach to simulate the propagation of electrical signals within and around printed circuit boards (PCBs). This relates to the work currently being carried out into the propagation of very high speed digital pulses...
