The key performance indicators of the BIM implementation process (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Contemporarily some firms in the construction industry are attempting to adopt a BIM method of working. Each of these attempts reflects a varying BIM adoption philosophy and inevitably different BIM technologies, implementation strategies and roadmap...

Proportion, pedagogy and processes: The three Ps of e-learning (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

There is a tendency to equate electronic learning or e-learning with distance learning. In fact, e-learning covers a broad spectrum, from learning which is primarily contact based to learning which is 100% distance. Thus, each course can be measured...

An empirical study of user preference and performance with UML diagrams (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

History-based weighted average voter: A novel software voting algorithm for fault-tolerant computer systems (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Voting algorithms have been widely used in the realisation of fault-tolerant systems. We propose a new software voting algorithm which uses the history record of redundant modules to compute the final output. Two versions for the novel algorithm are...

Process control systems integration using object oriented technology (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The development of a control software design environment, namely the Integrated Design Notation (IDN), is presented. IDN supports the design, development and implementation of decentralised distributed control systems. A cable extrusion process is ta...

Visualisation of a simple beam under a load in virtual environment (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Visualisation is generally considered to be a problem in structural design. Being an iterative process, structural design is time consuming for engineers, and results are difficult for clients to visualize. Current numerical methods have slow dynamic...

Applicability of an educational-behavioural joint protection programme in practice (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background Previous clinical trials proved an educational-behavioural joint protection (EB-JP) programme is more effective than “standard” teaching in increasing people with rheumatoid arthritis’ (RA) use of joint protection (JP).

Objective This s... Read More about Applicability of an educational-behavioural joint protection programme in practice.

Integrated information management and exchange for water treatment projects (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Integration is the key to the performance improvement for the fragmented construction industry. Research in recent years has resulted in some rapid maturing integration technologies, such as data modelling, integrated project database, data managemen...

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?.

Comparison of accepted gaps for different on-street parking designs (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Potential problems could arise when drivers leave their parking stalls and merge into the main traffic stream. These problems could partly be attributed to finding acceptable gaps to merge into with safety and without causing undue difficulties to f...

Learning Chomsky-like grammars for biological sequence families (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper presents a new method of measuring performance when positives are rare and investigates whether Chomsky-like grammar representations are useful for learning accurate comprehensible predictors of members of biological sequence families. The... Read More about Learning Chomsky-like grammars for biological sequence families.

Measuring performance when positives are rare: relative advantage versus predictive accuracy - a biological case-study (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper presents a new method of measuring performance when positives are rare and investigates whether Chomsky-like grammar representations are useful for learning accurate comprehensible predictors of members of biological sequence families. The... Read More about Measuring performance when positives are rare: relative advantage versus predictive accuracy - a biological case-study.

Extending attribute-oriented induction as a key-preserving data mining method (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Attribute-Oriented Induction (AOI) is a set-oriented data mining technique used to discover descriptive patterns in large databases. The classical AOI method drops attributes that possess a large number of distinct values or have either no concept hi...

Beyond enterprise resource planning projects: innovative strategies for competitive advantage (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

On-street parking manoeuvres and their effects on design (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Vehicle manoeuvres when entering or leaving on-street parking can be a contributory factor to causing congestion. Little explicit attention has been given to these manoeuvres and their indirect potential effects on the moving traffic. In the design...

An open environment for the specification, design and code generation of control algorithms (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Proposals for an open, yet integrated, design environment to ease the design of complex process control systems are presented. A hierarchical approach to the allocation of computing resources is typically used in process control systems. The lower en...

Simulation of a component-oriented voter library for dependable control applications (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Control systems are required to meet increasingly stringent reliability and safety constraints. In many industrial applications, arbitration between redundant subsystems using voting algorithms is popular. Many voting strategies implemented in hardwa...

Towards an application framework for condition monitoring and fault diagnosis (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A study into urban roadworks with shuttle-lane operation (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In urban areas where roadworks are required, single lane shuttle operation is applied, especially where there is limited road space. There are operational problems relating to the site such as site geometry, visibility, length of roadworks zone, pos... Read More about A study into urban roadworks with shuttle-lane operation.
