The Prometheus Taxonomic Model: a practical approach to representing multiple classification. (2000)
Journal Article
Pullan, M. R., Watson, M. F., Kennedy, J., Raguenaud, C., & Hyam, R. (2000). The Prometheus Taxonomic Model: a practical approach to representing multiple classification. Taxon, 49, 55-75

A model for representing taxonomic data in a flexible and dynamic system capable of handling and comparing multiple simultaneous classifications is presented. The Prometheus Taxonomic Model takes as its basis the idea that a taxon can be circumscribe...

A query mediation approach to interoperability of heterogeneous databases (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Huang, H.-C., Kerridge, J., & Chen, S.-L. (2000, January). A query mediation approach to interoperability of heterogeneous databases. Presented at 11th Australasian Database Conference (ADC) 2000, Canberra, ACT, Australia

The need to transform queries between heterogeneous databases arises in many circumstances, including query transformation between a global and a local query. This paper describes a query mediation approach to the interoperability of heterogeneous da... Read More about A query mediation approach to interoperability of heterogeneous databases.

A framework for engineering metaphor at the user interface (2000)
Journal Article
Alty, J., Knott, R., Anderson, B., & Smyth, M. (2000). A framework for engineering metaphor at the user interface. Interacting with Computers, 13(2), 301-322. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0953-5438%2800%2900047-3

Interface metaphors facilitate the learning of new computer systems by supporting the transformation of existing knowledge in order to improve the comprehension of novel situations. However, there is very little guidance for software designers on how... Read More about A framework for engineering metaphor at the user interface.

Solving CSPs with evolutionary algorithms using self-adaptive constraint weights. (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Eiben, A. E., Jansen, B., Michalewicz, Z., & Paechter, B. (2000, July). Solving CSPs with evolutionary algorithms using self-adaptive constraint weights. Presented at Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO-2000)

This paper examines evolutionary algorithms (EAs) extended by various penalty-based approaches to solve constraint satisfaction
problems (CSPs). In some approaches, the penalties are set in advance and they do not change during a run. In other appro... Read More about Solving CSPs with evolutionary algorithms using self-adaptive constraint weights..
