Quality metrics for internet applications: developing new from old. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhou, S., & Liu, X. (2007, July). Quality metrics for internet applications: developing new from old

This discussion concerns ?metrics?. More specifically, we discuss quantitative metrics for evaluating Internet applications: what should we quantify, monitor and analyse in order to characterise, evaluate and develop Internet applications based on re...

Immunological inspiration for building a new generation of autonomic systems. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., Davoudani, D., & McEwan, C. (2007, October). Immunological inspiration for building a new generation of autonomic systems

Autonomic computing systems of the future will be required to exhibit a number of properties which cannot be engineered using current technologies and algorithms. The most direct inspiration for building such systems is nature, where for example the... Read More about Immunological inspiration for building a new generation of autonomic systems..

Bilingual word association networks. (2007)
Book Chapter
Priss, U., & Old, L. J. (2007). Bilingual word association networks. In U. Priss, S. Polovina, & R. Hill (Eds.), Conceptual Structures: Knowledge Architectures for Smart Applications (310-320). Springer-Verlag. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-73681-3_23

Bilingual word association networks can be beneficial as a tool in foreign
language education because they show relationships among cognate words of different languages and correspond to structures in the mental lexicon. This paper discusses possib... Read More about Bilingual word association networks..

Information Architecture and Navigation Design for Web Sites (2007)
Book Chapter
Benyon, D. (2007). Information Architecture and Navigation Design for Web Sites. In P. Zaphiris, & S. Kurniawan (Eds.), Human Computer Interaction Research in Web Design and Evaluation (165-184). IGI Global. https://doi.org/10.4018/978-1-59904-246-6.ch008

Information architecture concerns how to structure the content of an information space. Information architects design information spaces. Staying with the notion of information space leads us to the realisation that people need to be able to both con... Read More about Information Architecture and Navigation Design for Web Sites.

Implementing web-assisted learning and engaging academic staff in the change process (2007)
Journal Article
Marek, S. A., Sibbald, A. M., & Bagher, M. (2007). Implementing web-assisted learning and engaging academic staff in the change process. Journal of Organisational Transformation and Social Change, 3(3), 269-284. https://doi.org/10.1386/jots.3.3.269_1

In achieving the transition from a traditional taught mode of delivery to web-assisted learning, the management of universities now realise that change needs to be led and managed from the top down. They are also reliant on academic staff to engage i... Read More about Implementing web-assisted learning and engaging academic staff in the change process.

Revisiting the Central and Peripheral Immune System (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McEwan, C., Hart, E., & Paechter, B. (2007, August). Revisiting the Central and Peripheral Immune System. Presented at ICARIS 2007: International Conference on Artificial Immune Systems, Santos, Brazil

The idiotypic network has a long and chequered history in both theoretical immunology and Artificial Immune Systems. In terms of the latter, the drive for engineering applications has led to a diluted interpretation of the immunological models. Resea...

Rethinking feedback : an assessment for learning perspective (2007)
Book
Sambell, K., Gibson, M., & Montgomery, C. (2007). Rethinking feedback : an assessment for learning perspective. Northumbria University Press

Feedback is becoming an increasingly vexed issue in
higher education. Lecturers routinely spend a great
deal of time reading and annotating students’ work,
only to worry that students are really only interested in a
single piece of information: t... Read More about Rethinking feedback : an assessment for learning perspective.

Use of radar devices in road traffic surveys (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Colonna, P., Guaragnella, C., Ranieri, V., & Fonzone, A. (2007, September). Use of radar devices in road traffic surveys. Presented at 4th SIIV International Congress "Advances in Transport Infrastructures and stakeholders expectations", Palermo, Italy

The Department of Roads and Transportation of Polytechnic University of Bari owns CW radar devices for road traffic surveys. The radars can be used to measure traffic volumes and vehicle lengths and speeds. Radar’s manual suggests to refer to measure... Read More about Use of radar devices in road traffic surveys.
