Cultural repertoires in the media's coverage of child sexual exploitation (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Patel, T. (2016). Cultural repertoires in the media's coverage of child sexual exploitation. In Proceedings of Eurocrim2016 – 16th Annual Conference of the European Society of Criminology (ESC)

This paper will discuss the media’s coverage of two child sexual exploitation (CSE) cases in Rochdale (Greater Manchester) and Rotherham (South Yorkshire), UK. These cases gained prominent media attention in the period between 2010 and 2015. The CSE... Read More about Cultural repertoires in the media's coverage of child sexual exploitation.

Development of efficient small scale axial turbine for solar driven organic rankine cycle (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Al Jubori, A., Al-Dadah, R. K., Mahmoud, S., Khalil, K. M., & Bahr Ennil, A. S. (2016). Development of efficient small scale axial turbine for solar driven organic rankine cycle. . https://doi.org/10.1115/GT2016-57845

Recently, the increase in fossil fuel consumption and associated adverse impact on the environment led to significant interest in renewable energy sources like solar. This paper presents a new methodology that integrates the ORC cycle analysis with m... Read More about Development of efficient small scale axial turbine for solar driven organic rankine cycle.

Implementing the required degree of multitenancy isolation : a case study of cloud-hosted bug tracking system (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Ochei, L., Petrovski, A., & Bass, J. (2016). Implementing the required degree of multitenancy isolation : a case study of cloud-hosted bug tracking system. In Services Computing (SCC), 2016 IEEE International Conference on 27 June-2 July 2016. https://doi.org/10.1109/SCC.2016.56

Implementing the required degree of isolation between tenants is one of the significant challenges for deploying a multitenant application on the cloud. In this paper, we applied COMITRE (COmponent-based approach to Multitenancy Isolation Through req...

On the CO2 and noise emissions forecast in future aviation scenarios in the UK (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Torija, A. J., Self, R., & Flindell, I. (2016). On the CO2 and noise emissions forecast in future aviation scenarios in the UK.

Aircraft operations have a significant impact on local air quality, climate change, fuel consumption and noise around airports. In order to reach emission targets set by aviation agencies (e.g. ACARE), to reduce environmental impact and to ensure a s...

Perception and automated assessment of audio quality in user generated content (2016)
Conference Proceeding
quality in user generated content. In Quality of Multimedia Experience (QoMEX), 2016 Eighth International Conference on 6-8 June 2016. https://doi.org/10.1109/QoMEX.2016.7498974

Technology to record sound, available in personal devices such as smartphones or video recording devices, is now ubiquitous. However, the production quality of the sound on this user-generated content is often very poor: distorted, noisy, with garble...

Quality prediction system for large-scale digitisation workflows (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Clausner, C., Pletschacher, S., & Antonacopoulos, A. (2016). Quality prediction system for large-scale digitisation workflows. . https://doi.org/10.1109/das.2016.82

The feasibility of large-scale OCR projects can so far only be assessed by running pilot studies on subsets of the target document collections and measuring the success of different workflows based on precise ground truth, which can be very costly to...

Large-scale offshore agile tailoring : exploring productand service organisations (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Bass, J. (2016). Large-scale offshore agile tailoring : exploring productand service organisations. In Proceedings of the Scientific Workshop Proceedings of XP2016. https://doi.org/10.1145/2962695.2962703

This paper uses empirical data to compare large-scale agile method tailoring in two types of global software development programme: offshore outsourced services and offshore captive development centres. This research forms part of a larger study and... Read More about Large-scale offshore agile tailoring : exploring productand service organisations.

Making community : the wider role of makerspaces in public life (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Taylor, N., Hurley, U., & Connolly, P. (2016). Making community : the wider role of makerspaces in public life. In Proceedings of CHI 2016 (Human-Computer Interaction conference) (1415-1425). https://doi.org/10.1145/2858036.2858073

Makerspaces—public workshops where makers can share tools and knowledge—are a growing resource for amateurs and professionals alike. While the role of makerspaces in innovation and peer learning is widely discussed, we attempt to look at the wider ro...

Enhanced cloud patterns: a case study of multi-tenancy patterns (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Adewojo, A., Bass, J., & Allison, I. Enhanced cloud patterns: a case study of multi-tenancy patterns. . https://doi.org/10.1109/i-Society.2015.7366858

Multi-tenancy is a vital cloud computing property that enables multiple tenants of an application to be served concurrently while guaranteeing isolation between the tenants. Current cloud deployment patterns catalogue for implementing multi-tenancy l... Read More about Enhanced cloud patterns: a case study of multi-tenancy patterns.
