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...

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....

Mobility impact on mobile ad hoc routing protocols (2003)
Conference Proceeding
Badache, N., Djenouri, D., & Derhab, A. (2003). Mobility impact on mobile ad hoc routing protocols. In ACS/IEEE International Conference on Computer Systems and Applications, 2003. Book of Abstracts. https://doi.org/10.1109/aiccsa.2003.1227470

Summary form only given. An ad hoc network is a set of mobile units connected by wireless technologies, making an infrastructureless temporary network, without turning to a central administration. The network topology is unpredictable, dynamic, it ma... Read More about Mobility impact on mobile ad hoc routing protocols.

Design and prototyping of knowledge management software for aerospace manufacturing (2003)
Presentation / Conference
Hale, P., Scanlan, J., & Bru, C. (2003, July). Design and prototyping of knowledge management software for aerospace manufacturing. Paper presented at 10th ISPE International Conference on Concurrent Engineering ISPE/CE2003, Madeira, Portugal

At the University of the West of England we are involved in a project with Rolls-Royce AeroEngines. This is the Design Analysis Tool for Unit-cost Modelling (DATUM) project. The aim of this project is to produce a knowledge based system which is capa... Read More about Design and prototyping of knowledge management software for aerospace manufacturing.

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

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.

Evaluating spatial attributes of reproduced audio events using a graphical assessment language - understanding differences in listener depictions (2003)
Conference Proceeding
Ford, N., Rumsey, F., & Nind, T. (2003). Evaluating spatial attributes of reproduced audio events using a graphical assessment language - understanding differences in listener depictions. In Audio Engineering Society Conference: 24th International Conference: Multichannel Audio, The New Reality

The aim in developing a Graphical Assessment Language (GAL) is to enable the description and evaluation of spatial attributes. Although elicited graphical descriptors have proved a reliable measure of differences in perceived image width and location...

New factorial design theoretic crossover operator for parametrical problem (2003)
Conference Proceeding
Chan, K. Y., Aydin, M. E., & Fogarty, T. C. (2003). New factorial design theoretic crossover operator for parametrical problem. In C. Ryan, E. Costa, R. Poli, E. Tsang, M. Keijzer, & T. Soule (Eds.), Genetic Programming (22-33). https://doi.org/10.1007/3-540-36599-0_3

Recent research shows that factorial design methods improve the performance of the crossover operator in evolutionary computation. However the methods employed so far ignore the effects of interaction between genes on fitness, i.e. "epistasis". Here...
