On the metaphysics of production (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Koskela, L., & Kagioglou, M. (2005, July). On the metaphysics of production. Presented at 13th International Group for Lean Construction Conference, Sydney, Australia

Since the pre-Socratic period of philosophy, there have been two basic metaphysical views. One holds that there are substances or things, that is, atemporal entities in the world. The other insists that there are processes, that is, intrinsically tem... Read More about On the metaphysics of production.

In vivo study of foot kinematics using a walking simulator (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Liu, A., Nester, C., Ward, E., Howard, D., Cocheba, J., Derrick, T., & Patterson, P. (2005, July). In vivo study of foot kinematics using a walking simulator. Presented at ISB XXth Congress-ASB 29th Annual Meeting, Cleveland, Ohio

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.

Hidden auxiliary media channels in audio signals by perceptually insignificant component replacement (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Jackson, T., Li, F., & Yates, K. (2005, July). Hidden auxiliary media channels in audio signals by perceptually insignificant component replacement. Presented at 2005 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

This paper proposes a method for the formation of an auxiliary media channel within a host signal. Using a psychoacoustic frequency masking model, perceptually insignificant subband components of the host audio signal are identified and removed. The...

Data mining application : case of road traffic accidents in the UK West Midlands area 2000 (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Saraee, M., Kerry, J., Llyod, M., & Markey, C. (2005, July). Data mining application : case of road traffic accidents in the UK West Midlands area 2000. Presented at 3rd European Conference on Intelligent Management Systems in Operations, University of Salford

For this assignment we are aiming to use data mining techniques in the analysis of data recorded about road traffic accidents in the West Midlands Area in the year 2000. This data will then hopefully provide drivers with guidelines relating to wh... Read More about Data mining application : case of road traffic accidents in the UK West Midlands area 2000.

Context of production control in construction (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Henrich, G., Tilley, P., & Koskela, L. (2005, July). Context of production control in construction. Presented at 13th International Group for Lean Construction Conference, Sydney, Australia

It is commonly accepted that production control systems should correspond to the context within which they are operating, i.e. the production situation. However, rarely is this context indicated or made explicit; for example, the boundary conditions... Read More about Context of production control in construction.

Approaches to managing complexity in project production (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Bertelsen, S., & Koskela, L. (2005, July). Approaches to managing complexity in project production. Presented at 13th International Group for Lean Construction Conference., Sydney, Australia

Since the seminal contribution by Shewhart, the dominating approach to production is to minimize all variation in order to get the productive activities into control. Thus, the goal is to avoid all such complexity and uncertainty which could disturb... Read More about Approaches to managing complexity in project production.

Policy lessons from elected regional assemblies (2005)
Presentation / Conference
May, T. (2005, July). Policy lessons from elected regional assemblies. Presented at A New Deal for Cities? City Growth and Governance: Connecting the Local to the City-Regional, London

Strategizing consumer logistic requirements in ecommerce transactions : evaluation of current implementations (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Meziane, F., & Kasiran, M. (2005, June). Strategizing consumer logistic requirements in ecommerce transactions : evaluation of current implementations. Presented at Third European Conference on Intelligent Management Systems in Operations (IMSIO III), The Lowry, Salford Quays, UK

Lack of trust has been identified as one of the reasons why many visits to eCommerce websites do not turn into proper transactions. To support trust, an information framework model based on research on eCommerce trust has been developed. The model...

Validation of the activPAL activity monitor in children with hemiplegic gait patterns resultant from cerebral palsy (2005)
Presentation / Conference
palsy. Presented at World Congress Interntional Society of Prosthetics and Prosthetics 2015, Lyon, France

Podium Presentation. Background: Current investigation of treatment outcomes by clinicians is currently hampered by a lack of clinically viable tools. The use of activity monitors specifically validated for a population could help resolve this situ...

Data mining approach to implement a recommendation system for electronic tour guides (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Saraee, M., Khan, S., & Yamaner, S. (2005, June). Data mining approach to implement a recommendation system for electronic tour guides. Presented at CSREA EEE, Las Vegas, USA

In this paper we consider the problem of discovering patterns generated by association rules between items in a database of locations that tourists have visited within the Manchester city centre area. The focus of the paper is on the interactive agen... Read More about Data mining approach to implement a recommendation system for electronic tour guides.
