Coalition formation and management in the Asia-Pacific region : the case of an American-Japanese-Australian combination (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Wilkins, T. (2008, October). Coalition formation and management in the Asia-Pacific region : the case of an American-Japanese-Australian combination. Presented at Annual meeting of the International Studies Association, Hilton Hawaiian Village, Honolulu, Hawaii

The purpose of this paper is to examine the dynamics of multinational military operations or 'coalition warfare' framed within the wider context of the dichotomy between state-centric and multilateral approaches to national security in the Asia-Pacif...

Optimal modal spacing and density for critical listening (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Fazenda, B., & Wankling, M. (2008, October). Optimal modal spacing and density for critical listening. Presented at 125th Audio Engineering Society Convention, San Francisco, CA, USA

This paper presents a study on the subjective effects of modal spacing and density. These are measures often used as
indicators to define particular aspect ratios and source positions to avoid low frequency reproduction problems in
rooms. These ind... Read More about Optimal modal spacing and density for critical listening.

Wide class of new fractal light sources [Invited plenary paper] (2008)
Presentation / Conference
McDonald, G., Christian, J., & Huang, J. (2008, September). Wide class of new fractal light sources [Invited plenary paper]. Presented at Advanced Optoelectronics and Lasers (CAOL), 2010 International Conference, Alushta, Crimea, Ukraine

Pattern emergence in Naturepsilas complex systems is mostly attributed to a classic Turing instability. There, a single length-scale becomes dominant and this defines a simple emergent structure (for example, a striped or hexagonal pattern). We have...

Turing instability: a universal route to spontaneous spatial fractals (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Huang, J., Christian, J., McDonald, G., & Chamorro-Posada, P. (2008, September). Turing instability: a universal route to spontaneous spatial fractals. Presented at European Optical Society Annual Meeting, Paris, France

We present the first predictions of spontaneous spatial fractal patterns in nonlinear ring cavities. New analyses reveal multi-Turing spectra characteristic of susceptibility
for spontaneous fractals. Extensive computer simulations confirm theoretic... Read More about Turing instability: a universal route to spontaneous spatial fractals.

A web-based visual spatial co-location patterns' mining prototype system (SCPMiner) (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Wang, L., Bao, Y., Lu, J., & Yip, Y. (2008, September). A web-based visual spatial co-location patterns' mining prototype system (SCPMiner). Presented at International Conference on Cyberworlds 2008, Hangzhou, China

Visual spatial data mining is an effective way to discover knowledge from huge amounts of spatial data. The systematic study and development of visual spatial data mining techniques will facilitate the promotion and use of spatial data mining as a to...

Multi-component teleservice model for multimedia applications (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Alani, O., & Mehmood, R. (2008, September). Multi-component teleservice model for multimedia applications. Presented at Next Generation Mobile Applications, Services and Technologies, Cardiff

In third generation (3G) wireless systems we have a number of resources being used exclusively and simultaneously to satisfy the requirements of an arriving multimedia call. This would require the occupation and release of these resources to be in a... Read More about Multi-component teleservice model for multimedia applications.

Futuristic design review in the construction industry (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Gautier, G., Piddington, C., Bassanino, M., Fernando, T., & Skjærbæk, J. (2008, September). Futuristic design review in the construction industry. Presented at eWork and eBusiness in Architecture, Engineering and Construction Conference, Sophia-Antipolis, France

Many researchers have already demonstrated the benefits of enhancing collaboration in the construction industry and the role of IT as a facilitator of inter-enterprise communications is also well accepted. However, the construction companies are slow... Read More about Futuristic design review in the construction industry.

Solving unforeseen events on construction sites more efficiently (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Hinrichs, E., Bassanino, M., Piddington, C., Gautier, G., Khosrowshahi, F., Fernando, T., & Skjærbæk, J. (2008, September). Solving unforeseen events on construction sites more efficiently. Presented at eWork and eBusiness in Architecture, Engineering and Construction Conference, Sophia-Antipolis, France

This paper presents the process of solving unforeseen events on construction sites – a frequent phenomenon throughout the industry. The current process of handling an unforeseen problem is described and contrasted with a future scenario in which I&C...

A review of medical image annotation (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Zhang, Z., Lu, J., & Yip, Y. (2008, September). A review of medical image annotation. Presented at 14th International Conference on Automation and Computing (ICAC '08), St. John’s Building, Department of Information Systems and Computing, Brunel University

Scanning behaviour of road images is influenced by a preceding unrelated visual search task (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Thompson, C., & Crundall, D. (2008, August). Scanning behaviour of road images is influenced by a preceding unrelated visual search task. Presented at 4th International Conference on Traffic and Transport Psychology, Washington DC, USA

Research suggests that the allocation of attention whilst driving is influenced by the top-down attentional set of the driver, such that potential hazards may only capture attention if they match the attentional control settings. The current study ai... Read More about Scanning behaviour of road images is influenced by a preceding unrelated visual search task.
