Surgical education: Applied virtual anatomy: Can Virtual Reality Augment Postgraduate Anatomy Teaching? (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ward, B. M., Charissis, V., Rowley, D., Anderson, P., & Young, I. (2007, November). Surgical education: Applied virtual anatomy: Can Virtual Reality Augment Postgraduate Anatomy Teaching?. Presented at British Association of Day Surgery Conference

This paper presents an inquiry into Virtual Reality (VR) training environments and their application in early postgraduate anatomy teaching. There is great interest in the use of VR applications, but there has been little practical application in the...

Testing and Sampling Parallel Systems (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J. (2007, July). Testing and Sampling Parallel Systems. Presented at 30th Communicating Process Architectures Conference, CPA 2007, University of Surrey, Guildford, Surrey, UK

The testing of systems using tools such as JUnit is well known to the sequential programming community. It is perhaps less well known to the parallel computing community because it relies on systems terminating so that system outputs can be compared...

Plotting affect and premises for use in aesthetic interaction design: towards evaluation of the everyday. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kettley, S., & Smyth, M. (2006, September). Plotting affect and premises for use in aesthetic interaction design: towards evaluation of the everyday. Presented at HCI Conference 2006

This short paper presents an experimental approach to the difficulty of evaluating interactive systems as artefacts for everyday life. The problem arises from the event-like nature of the user-centred evaluation session, as distinct from ‘being’ or t...

Collecting Pedestrian Trajectory Data In Real-time (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J., Keller, S., Chamberlain, T., & Sumpter, N. (2005, September). Collecting Pedestrian Trajectory Data In Real-time. Presented at Pedestrian and Evacuation Dynamics 2005, Vienna

The ability to collect pedestrian flow data, without the need for subsequent post-processing and analysis to extract measurements such as density and flow rate is a goal, which up to now, has proved infeasible on a large scale for a number of reasons...

ALT text and basic accessibility (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McEwan, T., & Weerts, B. (2007, September). ALT text and basic accessibility. Presented at 21st British HCI Group Annual Conference, University of Lancaster, UK

Recent surveys have shown that the majority of websites are not accessible. Despite legal obligations and the importance of the internet for disabled people, most websites fail to reach a basic level of accessibility, yet web developers are not short...

Conceptualizing the Participation of Managers in Career-Focused Learning and Development: A Framework (2007)
Journal Article
Carbery, R., & Garavan, T. N. (2007). Conceptualizing the Participation of Managers in Career-Focused Learning and Development: A Framework. Human Resource Development Review, 6(4), 394-418. https://doi.org/10.1177/1534484307307552

Protean, boundaryless, authentic, and portfolio careers increasingly challenge managers to be proactive and self-regulated. Managers are expected to manage their careers, develop employability, and continually learn. This article proposes a conceptu...

A conference panel - but not as we know it! (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McEwan, T., England, D., O'Neill, E., Bryan-Kinns, N., & Finlay, J. (2007, September). A conference panel - but not as we know it!. Presented at 21st British HCI Group Annual Conference

This panel will take the form of a public debate about whether the conference of which it forms part has a future. Academic conferences are increasingly hard to cost-justify and growing awareness of the environmental impact adds to the negative aspec...
