Commute replacement and commute displacement the rise of part-day home working (2008)
Journal Article

Working by telecommunication has been the subject of research attention in transportation studies for many years. Particular consideration has been given to occasional working from home (home working) by (full-time, paid) employees who represent a ta...

Self-Organizing maps for the automatic interpretation of crowd dynamics (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper introduces the use of self-organizing maps for the visualization of crowd dynamics and to learn models of the dominant motions of crowds in complex scenes. The self-organizing map (SOM) model is a well known dimensionality reduction method... Read More about Self-Organizing maps for the automatic interpretation of crowd dynamics.

What affects use of pretrip public transport information?: Empirical results of a qualitative study (2008)
Journal Article

With the rise of the Internet and mobile phone, various forms of public transport information services have emerged that enable people to make better informed travel choices. Nevertheless, many people are unaware of these information services, and on... Read More about What affects use of pretrip public transport information?: Empirical results of a qualitative study.

A hierarchical model-based system for discovering atypical behavior (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper, we describe a model-based system for context discovery and behavior modeling for the purpose of monitoring well-being. In modeling behavior in a smart home, the system must detect atypical (anomalous) patterns of behavior resulting fro...

Artificial ants to extract leaf outlines and primary venation patterns (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper presents preliminary results on an investigation into using artificial swarms to extract and quantify features in digital images. An ant algorithm has been developed to automatically extract the outlines and primary venation patterns from...

Semantic matching for the medical domain (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper proposes some modifications to the SMatch algorithm that enables the semantic matching of medical terminologies using the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) as a source of background knowledge. Semantic Matching is the process of disco... Read More about Semantic matching for the medical domain.

The fundamental solution of Mindlin plates with damping in the Laplace domain and its applications (2008)
Journal Article

In this paper, a fundamental solution for the Mindlin plate theory with damping is derived in the Laplace transform domain first time. The applications of this fundamental solution are demonstrated by the method of fundamental solution (MFS). All var...

Crowd analysis: A survey (2008)
Journal Article

In the year 1999 the world population reached 6 billion, doubling the previous census estimate of 1960. Recently, the United States Census Bureau issued a revised forecast for world population showing a projected growth to 9.4 billion by 2050 (US Cen... Read More about Crowd analysis: A survey.

Intelligent environments: Methods, algorithms and applications (2008)
Book

This innovative book discusses engineering solutions for the automatic understanding of a complex scene via multi-modal arrays of sensors. It focuses on research dealing with robotic platforms that augment an environment. In particular, it considers... Read More about Intelligent environments: Methods, algorithms and applications.

Semantic visualization of patient information (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Clinical practice and research rely increasingly on analytic approaches to patient data. Visualization enables the comparative exploration of similar patients, a key requirement in certain clinical decision support systems. Patient data is complex an...

Detecting activities for assisted living (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The objective is to detect activities taking place in a home for the purpose of creating models of behavior for the occupant. An array of sensors captures the status of appliances used in the home. Models for the occupant’s activities are built from... Read More about Detecting activities for assisted living.

Towards developing competency-based measures for construction project managers: Should contextual behaviours be distinguished from task behaviours? (2008)
Journal Article

Competency-based measures are increasingly being recognised as the most viable option for engendering the continuing professional development (CPD) of construction project managers (CPMs). Presently, an emerging view from the HRM genre is that, a som...
