The effect of legal environment on innovation performance of external knowledge strategies (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Alexander, E. (2008, August). The effect of legal environment on innovation performance of external knowledge strategies. Paper presented at Sixty-Sixth Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management, Annaheim, California, USA

This study addresses how institutional differences across countries matter to firms by asking whether there is a best fit of collaborative strategy to improve firms’ innovation performance in a given institutional milieu: the legal institutional envi...

Monsters and modernity (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Bould, M. (2008, August). Monsters and modernity. Presented at Silicon Knights Games Developers, St. Catherines, Ontario

A critical overview of the repressive aspects of modernity which, in popular culture at least, tend to unleash monsters. Drawing on Walter Benjamin, this paper also considers the relationship between 'progress' and catastrophe.

Combining goal inference and natural-language dialogue for human-robot joint action (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Foster, M. E., Giuliani, M., Müller, T., Knoll, A., Erlhagen, W., Bicho, E., …Louro, L. (2008, July). Combining goal inference and natural-language dialogue for human-robot joint action. Paper presented at International Workshop on Combinations of Intelligent Methods and Applications, European Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Patras, Greece

We demonstrate how combining the reasoning components from two existing systems designed for human-robot joint action produces an integrated system with greater capabilities than either of the individual systems. One of the systems supports primaril... Read More about Combining goal inference and natural-language dialogue for human-robot joint action.

An investigation of the aerodynamic admittances and weighting functions of trains (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Sterling, M., Baker, C., Bouferrouk, A., O'Neil, H., Wood, S., Pearce, W., & Crosbie, E. (2008, July). An investigation of the aerodynamic admittances and weighting functions of trains. Paper presented at BBAA VI International Colloquium on Bluff Bodies Aerodynamics & Applications, Milano, Italy

Increasing train speeds combined with the predicted reduction in the weight of new trains ensures that the effect of crosswinds on train stability is of continued interest to the rail industry. Changes in the approaching wind velocity can in turn lea... Read More about An investigation of the aerodynamic admittances and weighting functions of trains.

Calculation of the crosswind displacement of pantographs (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Bouferrouk, A., Baker, C., Sterling, M., O'Neil, H., & Wood, S. (2008, July). Calculation of the crosswind displacement of pantographs. Paper presented at BBAA VI International Colloquium on Bluff Bodies Aerodynamics & Applications, Milano, Italy

The static crosswind displacements of a high speed pantograph and contact wire are studied. The aim is to assess the overall pantograph sway in crosswinds based on the relative movements of the pantograph and contact wire, taking into account the cro...

Agent-based support for interactive search in conceptual software design (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Simons, C., & Parmee, I. (2008, July). Agent-based support for interactive search in conceptual software design. Poster presented at 10th Annual Conference on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation (GECCO' 08), Atlanta, Georgia, USA

While recent attempts to search a conceptual software engineering design search space with multi-objective evolutionary algorithms have yielded promising results, the practical application of such search-based techniques remains to be addressed. This... Read More about Agent-based support for interactive search in conceptual software design.
