Architecture to support semantic resources interoperability (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Barresi, S., Meziane, F., Rezgui, Y., & Lima, C. (2005, November). Architecture to support semantic resources interoperability. Poster presented at First ACM International Workshop on Interoperability of Heterogeneous Information Systems (IHIS 2005), Bremen, Germany

Semantic Resources (SRs) such as ontologies and taxonomies are used in many sectors for various purposes. In the Construction domain they are used to facilitate software application inter-working, and improve communication and understanding among the...

Profiling the distortion characteristics of commercial music using amplitude distribution statistics (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Wilson, A., & Fazenda, B. (2005, October). Profiling the distortion characteristics of commercial music using amplitude distribution statistics. Presented at Reproduced Sound 30, Birmingham, UK

As digital audio is encoded as discrete samples of the audio waveform, much can be said about the nature of the recording by the statistical properties of the sample distribution. By analysis of the probability mass function and associated summary fe... Read More about Profiling the distortion characteristics of commercial music using amplitude distribution statistics.

A stable transient BEM for diffuser scattering (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Hargreaves, J., & Cox, T. (2005, October). A stable transient BEM for diffuser scattering. Presented at 150th Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America, Minneapolis

Boundary Element Methods (BEM) may be used to model scattering from hard rigid surfaces such as diffusers. They have the advantage over volumetric methods that only the surface need be meshed and the surface velocity potential found. Unlike the mor...

Considering uncertainty when performing environmental noise measurements (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Kerry, G., & Waddington, D. (2005, October). Considering uncertainty when performing environmental noise measurements. Presented at Institute of Acoustics Autumn Conference 2005, Oxford

An overview is given of the uncertainties associated with environmental noise measurements. The uncertainty budget is introduced together with the concepts of reproducibility and repeatability. Meteorology is identified as being the most significant... Read More about Considering uncertainty when performing environmental noise measurements.

Identity, technology and intermediation (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Hodson, M. (2005, September). Identity, technology and intermediation. Presented at Researching Inbetweeness: Understanding the Transformative Role of Intermediaries, Manchester

eViz : towards an integrated framework for high performance visualization (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Riding, M., Wood, J., Brodlie, K., Brooke, J., Chen, M., Chisnal, D., …Roard, N. (2005, September). eViz : towards an integrated framework for high performance visualization. Presented at UK e-Science All Hands Meeting 2005, Nottingham, UK

Existing Grid visualization systems typically focus on the distribution onto remote machines of some or all of the processes encompassing the visualization pipeline, with the aim of increasing the maximum data size, achievable frame rates or display...

Information extraction from heterogeneous sources using domain ontologies (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Chaudhry, W., & Meziane, F. (2005, September). Information extraction from heterogeneous sources using domain ontologies. Presented at IEEE 2005 International Conference on Emerging Technologies, Islamabad, Pakistan

The main objective of this paper is to describe the KAARE (knowledge availability, access, retrieval and extraction) system, a generic business model for knowledge extraction of semi structured and unstructured data from Web pages. The system is onto... Read More about Information extraction from heterogeneous sources using domain ontologies.

Design comparison of experimental stormwater detention systems (2005)

Necessary and unnecessary complexity in construction (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Pannanen, A., & Koskela, L. (2005, September). Necessary and unnecessary complexity in construction. Presented at The 1st International Conference on Built Environment Complexity, Liverpool UK

The nature of complexity varies as construction progresses. This paper presents concepts and practices with which project (knowledge) management must foster complexity when it is necessary and dampen complexity when it is unnecessary in order to gene...
