Structural Simulation Models That Build Themselves (2001)
Journal Article
Jankovic, L., Jankovic, S., Chan, A. H. C., & Little, G. H. (2001). Structural Simulation Models That Build Themselves. International journal of simulation: systems, science & technology (Print), 1(1-2), 35-43

The paper reports on creation of analogue models of structures in virtual reality, using an emergent, or
bottom-up approach, inspired by laws of Complexity. This approach focuses on component based modelling using
fundamental laws of physics. The c... Read More about Structural Simulation Models That Build Themselves.

Can Bottom-Up Modelling In Virtual Reality Replace Conventional Structural Analysis Methods? (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Conventional structural analysis methods are typically based on describing the structure as a system of simultaneous algebraic equations and solving the system by iteration. A common feature of such methods is a top-down approach to modelling where t... Read More about Can Bottom-Up Modelling In Virtual Reality Replace Conventional Structural Analysis Methods?.

Which is better: Gas or electricity? (1994)
Journal Article
Jankovic, L. (1994). Which is better: Gas or electricity?. Building Research and Information, 22(5), 261-268. https://doi.org/10.1080/09613219408727399

An important message from the presented results is that neither of the systems is better or worse. The suitability of gas and electric heating depends on the circumstances where these systems are applied. Both electricity and gas have advantages and...

The limits of intelligent office refurbishment (1993)
Journal Article
Boyd, D., & Jankovic, L. (1993). The limits of intelligent office refurbishment. Property Management, 11(2), 102-113. https://doi.org/10.1108/02637479310026659

Examines the context of design of intelligent buildings. Considers the potential to create intelligent buildings during refurbishment in the light of refurbishment limits – quality and quantity of space, appearance of building. IT and services distri...
