The impact of cultural aspects on the design process (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Felgen, L., Grieb, J., Lindemann, U., Pulm, U., Chakrabati, A., & Vijaykumar, G. (2004, May). The impact of cultural aspects on the design process. Presented at DESIGN 2004, the 8th International Design Conference, Dubrovnick, Croatia

Due to increasing globalisation, the development of products is no longer restricted to one place, it is more and more characterised by distributed design teams, who work in different places, time zones or cultures. In order to support intercultural... Read More about The impact of cultural aspects on the design process.

Young People and e-Democracy: Creating a Culture of Participation (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Masters, Z., Masters, Z., Macintosh, A., & Smith, E. (2004, August). Young People and e-Democracy: Creating a Culture of Participation. Presented at Electronic government : third international conference, EGOV 2004, Zaragoza, Spain

Research originally suggested that new technologies, particularly the Internet, provided a useful mechanism for engaging young people - an otherwise largely disenfranchised group. Subsequent to the evaluation of a number of pioneering projects in thi... Read More about Young People and e-Democracy: Creating a Culture of Participation.

Visual-narrative and virtual reality. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Carroll, F., Smyth, M., & Dryden, L. (2004, October). Visual-narrative and virtual reality. Presented at IVLA Conference 2004, Pilansberg, South Africa

This paper explores the relationship between the image and the narrative in virtual reality (VR) environments. It

Sliding mode position control of a vector-controlled induction machine with nonlinear load dynamics (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Goh, K., Dunnigan, M., & Williams, B. (2004, March). Sliding mode position control of a vector-controlled induction machine with nonlinear load dynamics. Presented at Second IEE International Conference on Power Electronics, Machines and Drives, Edinburgh, United Kingdom

In this paper, a solution to the position control problem for a vector controlled induction machine in the presence of nonlinear load friction, is proposed. A sliding mode (SMC) control system using the equivalent control concept and a switching term...
