Spiking neurons and synaptic stimuli: Neural response comparison using coincidence-factor (2009)
Book Chapter
Sarangdhar, M., & Kambhampati, C. (2009). Spiking neurons and synaptic stimuli: Neural response comparison using coincidence-factor. In S.-I. Ao, & L. Gelman (Eds.), Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering; Advances in Electrical Engineering and Computational Science (681-692). Springer Verlag. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-90-481-2311-7_58

In this chapter, neural responses are generated by changing the Inter-Spike-Interval (ISI) of the stimulus. These responses are subsequently compared and a coincidence factor is obtained. Coincidence-factor, a measure of similarity, is expected to ge... Read More about Spiking neurons and synaptic stimuli: Neural response comparison using coincidence-factor.

Enabling personalised learning through formative and summative assessment (2009)
Book Chapter
Gordon, N. A. (2009). Enabling personalised learning through formative and summative assessment. In Technology-Supported Environments for Personalized Learning: Methods and Case Studies (268-284). Information Science Publishing. https://doi.org/10.4018/978-1-60566-884-0.ch015

This chapter considers some ways in which personalised learning can potentially be delivered by means of appropriate assessment and the use of associated technologies. Recognising that for many students, learning is driven by summative assessment, th... Read More about Enabling personalised learning through formative and summative assessment.

Generating and verifying risk prediction models using data mining (2009)
Book Chapter

Qualitative temporal analysis: Towards a full implementation of the Fault Tree Handbook (2009)
Journal Article
Papadopoulos, Y., & Walker, M. (2009). Qualitative temporal analysis: Towards a full implementation of the Fault Tree Handbook. Control engineering practice, 17(10), 1115-1125. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conengprac.2008.10.003

The Fault tree handbook has become the de facto standard for fault tree analysis (FTA), defining the notation and mathematical foundation of this widely used safety analysis technique. The Handbook recognises that classical combinatorial fault trees... Read More about Qualitative temporal analysis: Towards a full implementation of the Fault Tree Handbook.

Using program data-state scarcity to guide automatic test data generation (2009)
Journal Article
Alshraideh, M., Bottaci, L., & Mahafzah, B. A. (2010). Using program data-state scarcity to guide automatic test data generation. Software quality journal, 18(1), 109-144. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11219-009-9083-x

Finding test data to cover structural test coverage criteria such as branch coverage is largely a manual and hence expensive activity. A potential low cost alternative is to generate the required test data automatically. Search-based test data genera...

Transfer between pose and illumination training in face recognition. (2009)
Journal Article
Liu, C. H., Bhuiyan, M. A.-A., Ward, J., & Sui, J. (2009). Transfer between pose and illumination training in face recognition. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 35(4), 939-947. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0013710

The relationship between pose and illumination learning in face recognition was examined in a yes-no recognition paradigm. The authors assessed whether pose training can transfer to a new illumination or vice versa. Results show that an extensive lev...

Exploiting graphical processing units for data-parallel scientific applications (2009)
Journal Article
Leist, A., Playne, D. P., & Hawick, K. A. (2009). Exploiting graphical processing units for data-parallel scientific applications. Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, 21(18), 2400-2437. https://doi.org/10.1002/cpe.1462

Graphical processing units (GPUs) have recently attracted attention for scientific applications such as particle simulations. This is partially driven by low commodity pricing of GPUs but also by recent toolkit and library developments that make them...

SAE International Journal of Passenger Cars - Mechanical Systems, 2(1), 791-802. https://doi.org/10.4271/2009-01-0738

Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a well established safety analysis technique used for the assessment of safety critical engineering systems in the automotive industry. Although FMEA has been shown to be useful, the analysis is typically... Read More about Semi-automatic FMEA supporting complex systems with combinations and sequences of failures.

2D piecewise algebraic splines for implicit modeling (2009)
Journal Article
Li, Q., & Tian, J. (2009). 2D piecewise algebraic splines for implicit modeling. ACM Transactions on Graphics, 28(2), Article ARTN 13. https://doi.org/10.1145/1516522.1516524

2D splines are a powerful tool for shape modeling, either parametrically or implicitly. However, compared with regular grid-based tensor-product splines, most of the high-dimensional spline techniques based on nonregular 2D polygons, such as box spli...
