A hierarchical method for the reduction of temporal expressions in Pandora (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Papadopoulos, Y., & Walker, M. A hierarchical method for the reduction of temporal expressions in Pandora. Presented at Proceedings of the First Workshop on DYnamic Aspects in DEpendability Models for Fault-Tolerant Systems - DYADEM-FTS '10

Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) is a popular safety analysis technique used to determine the logical combination of events needed to cause a particular system failure. However, FTA is purely combinatorial and cannot analyse the effects of sequences of even... Read More about A hierarchical method for the reduction of temporal expressions in Pandora.

Automatic allocation of safety integrity levels (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Papadopoulos, Y., Walker, M., Reiser, M.-O., Weber, M., Chen, D., Törngren, M., Servat, D., Abele, A., Stappert, F., Lonn, H., Berntsson, L., Johansson, R., Tagliabo, F., Torchiaro, S., & Sandberg, A. (2010, April). Automatic allocation of safety integrity levels. Presented at Proceedings of the 1st Workshop on Critical Automotive applications Robustness & Safety - CARS '10

In this paper, we describe a concept for the automatic allocationof general Safety Integrity Levels (SILs) to subsystems andcomponents of complex hierarchical networked architectures thatdeliver sets of safety critical functions. The concept is gener... Read More about Automatic allocation of safety integrity levels.

Dysphonia measures in parkinson's disease and their use in prediction of its progression (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kambhampati, C., Sarangdhar, M., & Poolsawad, N. (2010, October). Dysphonia measures in parkinson's disease and their use in prediction of its progression. Presented at International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Ontology Development, Valencia, Spain

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that impairs the motor skills, speech and general muscle coordination. The progression of PD is assessed using a clinically defined rating scale known as Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scal...

Stimulus reconstruction from a Hodgkin-Huxley neural response: A numerical solution (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sarangdhar, M., & Kambhampati, C. (2010, June). Stimulus reconstruction from a Hodgkin-Huxley neural response: A numerical solution. Presented at World Congress on Engineering 2010

Neural responses are the fundamental expressions of any neural activity. Information carried by a neural response is determined by the nature of a neural activity. In majority of cases the underlying stimulus that triggers it remains largely... Read More about Stimulus reconstruction from a Hodgkin-Huxley neural response: A numerical solution.

Local hybrid level-set method for MRA image segmentation (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hong, Q., Li, Q., & Tian, J. (2010, June). Local hybrid level-set method for MRA image segmentation. Presented at 10th IEEE International Conference on Computer and Information Technology, CIT-2010, 7th IEEE International Conference on Embedded Software and Systems, ICESS-2010, ScalCom-2010

In this paper, a local hybrid level-set method for medical image segmentation is presented. In proposed method, a locally fitted binary energy function is introduced into the hybrid level-set framework proposed by Zhang et al.. Compared with the glob...

Capture and reuse of composable failure patterns (2010)
Journal Article
Wolforth, I., Walker, M., Papadopoulos, Y., & Grunske, L. (2010). Capture and reuse of composable failure patterns. International Journal of Critical Computer-Based Systems, 1(1/2/3), 128-147. https://doi.org/10.1504/IJCCBS.2010.031710

Emerging safety analysis techniques use composition of failure models or fault simulation in formal models of a system to determine relationships between the causes and effects of failure. Most recent work has focused on developing system modelling a... Read More about Capture and reuse of composable failure patterns.

XML document design via GN-DTD (2010)
Journal Article
Zainol, Z., & Wang, B. (2010). XML document design via GN-DTD. European Journal of Scientific Research, 44(2), 314-336

Designing a well-structured XML document is important for the sake of readability and maintainability. More importantly, this will avoid data redundancies and update anomalies when maintaining a large quantity of XML based documents. In this paper, w... Read More about XML document design via GN-DTD.

Dynamic effect of perfect preventive maintenance on system reliability and cost using HiP-HOPS (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nggada, S. H., Parker, D. J., & Papadopoulos, Y. I. Dynamic effect of perfect preventive maintenance on system reliability and cost using HiP-HOPS

The occurrence of failure in a safety critical engineering system can be reduced through the use of preventive maintenance (PM). Each time a component of the system is maintained its effective age is reduced; the extent of this age reduction depends...

E-services and the digital divide: The role of tertiary education in improving public engagement and trust in e-delivery of services (2010)
Book Chapter
Gordon, N. A. (2010). E-services and the digital divide: The role of tertiary education in improving public engagement and trust in e-delivery of services. In Handbook of Research on E-Services in the Public Sector: E-Government Strategies and Advancements (244-250). Information Science Reference. https://doi.org/10.4018/978-1-61520-789-3.ch019

This chapter considers aspects relating to the role of tertiary (i.e. higher) education in improving the engagement of the public with government provided E-services. Some of the issues considered include those of tackling the digital divide - which...
