A fuzzy trust model for e-commerce (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Nefti-Meziani, S., Meziane, F., & Kasiran, M. (2005, July). A fuzzy trust model for e-commerce. Presented at 7th International IEEE Conference on E-Commerce Technology, Munich, Germany

It is argued that E-commerce has not reached its full potential and trust was often cited as the main reason why many customers are still skeptical about some online vendors. Many trust models have been developed, but most are subjective and did not... Read More about A fuzzy trust model for e-commerce.

Measurement of sound quality for critical listening (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Fazenda, B., Holland, K., & Newell, P. (2005, July). Measurement of sound quality for critical listening. Presented at 12th International Congress on Sound and Vibration, Lisbon

For the critical assessment of music recordings the uniformity of the pressure amplitude response with respect to frequency has robustly been defended as one of the principals of prime importance for any electro-acoustic monitoring system. This has b... Read More about Measurement of sound quality for critical listening.

Active diffusers : some prototypes and 2D measurements (2005)

In this paper, we propose that the “anomalous” optical response exhibited by GaP and InP infiltrated opals is due to the peculiar morphology shown by these materials when grown within the pores. In order to account for their optical response, we prop... Read More about Photonic band gap properties of GaP opals with a new topology.
