Bridging the gap between business models and system models (2003)
Journal Article
Kamm, R., & Odeh, M. (2003). Bridging the gap between business models and system models. Information and Software Technology, 45(15), 1053-1060. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0950-5849%2803%2900133-2

This paper discusses links that may be made between process models and Unified Modelling Language (UML) software specification techniques, working from an argument that the whole complexity of organisational activity cannot be captured by UML alone....

35 years on: To what extent has software engineering design achieved its goals? (2003)
Journal Article
Parmee, I. C., Simons, C., & Coward, P. D. (2003). 35 years on: To what extent has software engineering design achieved its goals?. IEE Proceedings Software, 150(6), 337-350. https://doi.org/10.1049/ip-sen%3A20031198

The term 'software engineering' was coined in 1968 to introduce the disciplines of established branches of engineering design to software manufacture. Some 35 years on, this paper attempts to gauge the success of software engineering against its orig...

A reflective approach to improve teaching of software engineering in large groups (2003)
Journal Article
Odeh, M. (2003). A reflective approach to improve teaching of software engineering in large groups. International Arab Journal of Information Technology, 1, 11-17

The paper delivers as an innovative approach to learning and teaching of software engineering in large groups with reflections on quantitative and qualitative practical investigations run while teaching 170 students at UWE. This has been adopted whil... Read More about A reflective approach to improve teaching of software engineering in large groups.

Pattern reification as the basis for description-driven systems (2003)
Journal Article
Estrella, F., Kovacs, Z., Le Goff, J., McClatchey, R., Solomonides, T., & Toth, N. (2003). Pattern reification as the basis for description-driven systems. Software and Systems Modeling, 2(2), 108-119. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10270-003-0023-0

This article represents the culmination of several years of research into description-driven systems in collaboration with CERN which resulted in the PhD thesis of Dr Florida Estrella from UWE's Centre for Complex Cooperative Systems. It has been cit... Read More about Pattern reification as the basis for description-driven systems.

Feature construction and selection using genetic programming and a genetic algorithm (2003)
Journal Article
Smith, M. G., & Bull, L. (2003). Feature construction and selection using genetic programming and a genetic algorithm. Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence, 2610, 229-237. https://doi.org/10.1007/3-540-36599-0_21

The use of machine learning techniques to automatically analyse data for information is becoming increasingly widespread. In this paper we examine the use of Genetic Programming and a Genetic Algorithm to pre-process data before it is classified usin...

Comparing learning classifier systems for continuous-valued online environments (2003)
Journal Article
Stone, C., & Bull, L. (2003). Comparing learning classifier systems for continuous-valued online environments

We investigate Learning Classifier Systems for online environments that consist of real-valued states and which require every action made by the agent to count towards its performance. Two Learning Classifier System architectures are considered, ZCS... Read More about Comparing learning classifier systems for continuous-valued online environments.
