  • Purvis, Martin; Lemalu, Selena; Purvis, Maryam A. (Discussion Paper, 2000)
    Workflow management systems are increasingly used to assist the automation of business processes that involve the exchange of documents, information, or task execution results. Recent developments in distributed information ...
  • Kasabov, Nikola; Israel, Steven; Woodford, Brendon J (Discussion Paper, 1999)
    The chapter presents a new methodology for building adaptive, incremental learning systems for image pattern classification. The systems are based on dynamically evolving fuzzy neural networks that are neural architectures ...
  • Zhou, Qing Qing (Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2003)
    The ease of collection and the increasing availability of large data stores has led to demands for improved methods for analyzing these data and deriving significant knowledge that maybe latent in these data stores. In ...
  • Cranefield, Stephen; Purvis, Martin (Discussion Paper, 1996)
    This paper presents a practical multi-agent architecture for assisting users to coordinate the use of both special and general purpose software tools for performing tasks in a given problem domain. The architecture is open ...
  • Li, Guannan (Thesis, Master of Applied Science, 2011)
    Container terminals have become important components in global logistics and transportation. The continuing growth of container transport is adding pressure to container terminals to improve efficiency. The problem of ...
  • Winikoff, Michael; Wagner, Hanno-Felix; Young, Thomas; Cranefield, Stephen; Jarquin, Roger; Li, Guannan; Martin, Brent; Unland, Rainer (Discussion Paper, 2011)
    Container terminals play a critical role in international shipping and are under pressure to cope with increasing container traffic. The problem of managing container terminals effectively has a number of characteristics ...
  • Savarimuthu, Bastin Tony Roy; Purvis, Martin; Cranefield, Stephen; Purvis, Maryam A. (Discussion Paper, 2005)
    Rapid changes in the business environment call for more flexible and adaptive workflow systems. Researchers have proposed that Workflow Management Systems (WfMSs) comprising multiple agents can provide these capabilities. ...
  • Savarimuthu, Bastin Tony Roy; Purvis, Martin; Purvis, Maryam A. (Discussion Paper, 2006)
    With the advent of Web Services, more and more business organizations make their services available on the Internet through Web Services and also use other services that are available on the corporate Intranet. From the ...
  • Purvis, Martin; Cranefield, Stephen (Discussion Paper, 1996)

  • MacDonell, Stephen; Gray, Andrew (Discussion Paper, 1996)
    The use of ‘standard’ regression analysis to derive predictive equations for software development has recently been complemented by increasing numbers of analyses using less common methods, such as neural networks, fuzzy ...
  • Parameswaran, Vinod (Thesis, Master of Applied Science, 2011)
    The concept of Always Best Connected (ABC) is pivotal to the emerging scenario of 4G networks, which intends to integrate different network technologies in order to exploit mutual advantages and to provide a variety of ...
  • Peake, Simon A J; Moore, Antoni (Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 16th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2004: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2004)
    Mental maps are a cartographic illustration of a person’s internal representation of the spatial environment in which they live. They are often used to provide an insight into how different ethnic or social groups perceive ...
  • Liddell, Gerard (Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 15th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2003: Land, Place and Space), 2003)
    This talk will address the problem of determining the semi-rigid motion of an ice floe from a series of grayscale images of the floe. The analysis will start with the global properties of the images. The next step is to ...
