Evaluating the graphics processing unit for digital audio synthesis and the development of HyperModels (2023)
Thesis

The extraordinary growth in computation in single processors for almost half a century is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain. Future computational growth is expected from parallel processors, as seen in the increasing number of tightly coup...

Conversation analysis for computational modelling of task-oriented dialogue (2023)
Thesis

Current methods of dialogue modelling for Conversational AI (CAI) bear little resemblance to the manner in which humans organise conversational interactions. The way utterances are represented, interpreted, and generated are determined by the necessi... Read More about Conversation analysis for computational modelling of task-oriented dialogue.

Data, metadata, and workflow in healthcare informatics (2018)
Thesis

This dissertation considers a number of interlinked concepts, propositions and relations, and puts forward a set of design theses, to support the role of informatics in the overall goal of knowledge-based, information-driven, integrated, patient-cent...

Analysing the provenance tracking of business process management in the quality domain (2017)
Thesis

This work presents a framework of how Provenance can be combined with BPM. This is achieved through a use case, from the Martine Spécialités enterprise which is using the Agilium BPM system (without the provenance functionality). Using the PROV Data...

Scientific workflow execution reproducibility using cloud-aware provenance (2016)
Thesis

Scientific experiments and projects such as CMS and neuGRIDforYou (N4U) are annually producing data of the order of Peta-Bytes. They adopt scientific workflows to analyse this large amount of data in order to extract meaningful information. These wor...

HyDRA Hybrid workflow Design Recommender Architecture (2016)
Thesis

Workflows are a way to describe a series of computations on raw e-Science data. These data may be MRI brain scans, data from a high energy physics detector or metric data from an earth observation project. In order to derive meaningful knowledge from...

NeuroProv - A visualisation system to enhance the utility of provenance Data for neuroimaging analysis (2015)
Thesis

E-Science platforms such as myGRID and NeuGRID for Users are growing at an amazing rate. One of the key barriers to their widespread use in practice is the lack of provenance data to support the reasoning and verification of experimental or analysis...

GQ-BPAOntoSOA: A goal- and object- based semantic framework for deriving software services from an organisation’s goals and riva business process architecture (2015)
Thesis

Understanding a business organisation is a primary activity that is required for deriving service-oriented systems that assist in carrying out the business activities of an organisation. Business IT alignment is one of the hot topics that concerns wi...

User driven modelling: Visualisation and systematic interaction for end-user programming with tree-based structures (2012)
Thesis

This thesis addresses certain problems encountered by teams of engineers when modelling complex structures and processes subject to cost and other resource constraints. The cost of a structure or process may be ‘read off’ its specifying model, but th...

Semantic indexing via knowledge organization systems: Applying the CIDOC-CRM to archaeological grey literature (2012)
Thesis

The volume of archaeological reports being produced since the introduction of PG161 has significantly increased, as a result of the increased volume of archaeological investigations conducted by academic and commercial archaeology. It is highly desir... Read More about Semantic indexing via knowledge organization systems: Applying the CIDOC-CRM to archaeological grey literature.

Verifying requirements for resource-bounded agents (2011)
Thesis

This thesis presents frameworks for the modelling and verification of resource-bounded reasoning agents. The resources considered include the time, memory, and communication bandwidth required by agents to achieve a goal. The scalability and expressi...

Self adaptation in evolutionary algorithms (1998)
Thesis

Evolutionary Algorithms are search algorithms based on the Darwinian metaphor of “Natural Selection”. Typically these algorithms maintain a population of individual solutions, each of which has a fitness attached to it, which in some way reflects the...

Interactive evolutionary computing in early lifecycle software engineering design
Thesis

Design is fundamental to software development. Indeed, early lifecycle software engineering design is crucial and has significant impact of subsequent development activities. Inferior designs can result in deleterious down-stream consequences. Theref... Read More about Interactive evolutionary computing in early lifecycle software engineering design.
