Approaches to the optimizing control problem (1988)
Journal Article
Ellis, J. E., Kambhampati, C., Sheng, G., & Roberts, P. D. (1988). Approaches to the optimizing control problem. International Journal of Systems Science, 19(10), 1969-1985. https://doi.org/10.1080/00207728808964092

The selection of the steady-state controls which enable a system to operate in an optimum manner is the optimizing control problem. An examination of direct and adaptive model-based approaches to this problem is made. In the direct approach, system m... Read More about Approaches to the optimizing control problem.

The signed Chi-score measure for the classification and mapping of polychotomous data (1981)
Journal Article
Visvalingam, M. (1981). The signed Chi-score measure for the classification and mapping of polychotomous data. The Cartographic journal, 18(1), 32-43. https://doi.org/10.1179/caj.1981.18.1.32

Several polychotomous characteristics, when expressed in chi-score form, exhibit distributions in property space which deviate from the inherent assumptions of the more commonly used methods of cluster analysis. This paper suggests a novel approach t... Read More about The signed Chi-score measure for the classification and mapping of polychotomous data.

Indexing with coded deltas—a data compaction technique (1976)
Journal Article
Visvalingam, M. (1976). Indexing with coded deltas—a data compaction technique. Software: Practice and Experience, 6(3), 397-403. https://doi.org/10.1002/spe.4380060313

The paper describes the coded delta scheme, which is one of the methods used by the Census Research Unit, University of Durham, for compacting the 1971 U.K. census data. It evaluates the merits and limitations of the technique in relation to the char... Read More about Indexing with coded deltas—a data compaction technique.

Mathematica in the teaching of mathematics for computer science students in H.E.
Presentation / Conference Contribution

E-commerce And E-business: A new paradigm or old business in new clothes?
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Brayshaw, M., & Gordon, N. (2006, July). E-commerce And E-business: A new paradigm or old business in new clothes?. Presented at IADIS International Conference e-Society, Dublin, Ireland

This paper aims to answer the question implicit in the title, namely is e-commerce and e-business a new paradigm or old business in new clothes? We consider whether this topic is truly a new discipline worthy of study and understanding in its own rig...

Enabling multipurpose image interaction in modular visualization environments
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wright, H., & Chatzinikos, F. Enabling multipurpose image interaction in modular visualization environments. Paper presented at Visualization and Data Analysis 2003

Recent improvements in processor and graphics power mean researchers can now interact with their running simulation at the same time as they view the results. This so-called 'computational steering' brings greater insight to the investigation process... Read More about Enabling multipurpose image interaction in modular visualization environments.

Integrating the DIS standards into a fully-immersive simulation application
