Scientific names are ambiguous as identifiers for biological taxa: their context and definition are required for accurate data integration (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kennedy, J., Kukla, R., & Paterson, T. (2005, July). Scientific names are ambiguous as identifiers for biological taxa: their context and definition are required for accurate data integration. Presented at Second International Workshop, DILS 2005, San Diego, CA, USA

Biologists use scientific names to label the organisms described in
their data; however, these names are not unique identifiers for taxonomic entities.
Alternative taxonomic classifications may apply the same name, associated
with alternative defi... Read More about Scientific names are ambiguous as identifiers for biological taxa: their context and definition are required for accurate data integration.

Agent-based forensic investigations with an integrated framework. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Buchanan, W. J., Graves, J., Saliou, L., Sebea, A. L., & Migas, N. (2005, July). Agent-based forensic investigations with an integrated framework. Presented at 4th European Conference of Information Warfare and Security

Forensics investigations can be flawed for many reasons, such as that they can lack any real evidence of an incident. Also, it can be the case that the legal rights of an individual has been breached, or that the steps taken in the investigation cann...

For some years there has been much activity in developing CSP-like extensions to a number of common programming languages. In particular, a number of groups have looked at extensions to Java. Recent developments in the Java platform have resulted in... Read More about Groovy Parallel! A Return to the Spirit of occam?.

Instant messaging: using log files to identify patterns of interaction in group of teenage users. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Davison, B., & Buckner, K. (2005, April). Instant messaging: using log files to identify patterns of interaction in group of teenage users. Presented at IFIP WG 9.3 HOIT2005 Conference, York

This paper presents preliminary findings on teenagers’ use of instant messaging (IM) as an example of an Internet technology. The results are quantitative, being drawn from the information held in users’ IM log files. The current purpose is to valida...

Linguistic applications of formal concept analysis. (2005)
Book Chapter
Priss, U. (2005). Linguistic applications of formal concept analysis. In B. Ganter, G. Stumme, & R. Wille (Eds.), Formal Concept Analysis, Foundations and Applications (149-160). Springer-Verlag. https://doi.org/10.1007/11528784_8

Formal concept analysis as a methodology of data analysis and knowledge representation has potential to be applied to a variety of linguistic problems. First, linguistic applications often involve the identification and analysis of features, such as... Read More about Linguistic applications of formal concept analysis..

Time-series Explorer: An Animated Information Visualisation for Microarray Time-course Data (2005)
Journal Article
Craig, P., Kennedy, J., & Cumming, A. (2005). Time-series Explorer: An Animated Information Visualisation for Microarray Time-course Data. BMC Bioinformatics, 6(Suppl 3), P8. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2105-6-S3-P8

Microarray technologies are a relatively new development that allow biologists to monitor the activity of thousands of genes (normally around 8,000) in parallel across multiple stages of a biological process. While this new perspective on biological... Read More about Time-series Explorer: An Animated Information Visualisation for Microarray Time-course Data.

Application of the Grouping Genetic Algorithm to University Course Timetabling (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lewis, R., Lewis, R. M. R., & Paechter, B. (2005, March). Application of the Grouping Genetic Algorithm to University Course Timetabling. Presented at 5th European Conference in Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimisation (EvoCop 2005), Lausanne, Swizerland

University Course Timetabling-Problems (UCTPs) involve the allocation of resources (such as rooms and timeslots) to all the events of a university, satisfying a set of hard-constraints and, as much as possible, some soft constraints. Here we work wit... Read More about Application of the Grouping Genetic Algorithm to University Course Timetabling.
