A comparison of computational techniques of the key properties of Markov Chains
(Australia and New Zealand Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ANZIAM), 2015)The presenter has recently been exploring the accurate computation of the stationary distribution for finite Markov chains based upon the Grassman, Taksar and Heyman (GTH) algorithm ([1]) with further extensions of this ... -
A comparison of modeling techniques for software development effort prediction
(Springer-Verlag, 1998)Software metrics are playing an increasingly important role in software development project management, with the need to effectively control the expensive investment of software development of paramount concern. Research ... -
A comparison of nonlinear control performance assessment techniques for nonlinear processes
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012)Assessing the quality of industrial control loops is an important auditing task for the control engineer. However, there are complications when considering the ubiquitous nonlinearities present in many industrial control ... -
A comparison of semi-deterministic and stochastic search techniques
(Springer, 2000)This paper presents an investigation of two search techniques, tabu search (TS) and simulated annealing (SA), to assess their relative merits when applied to engineering design optimisation. Design optimisation problems ... -
A comparison of teacher and lecturer perspectives on the transition from secondary to tertiary mathematics education
(Taylor & Francis, 2009)The transition from school to tertiary study of mathematics comes under increasing scrutiny in research. This article reports on some findings from a project analysing the transition from secondary to tertiary education ... -
A comparison of techniques for developing predictive models of software metrics
(Elsevier, 1997)The use of regression analysis to derive predictive equations for software metrics has recently been complemented by increasing numbers of studies using non-traditional methods, such as neural networks, fuzzy logic models, ... -
A comparison of two methods applied to the optimisation of fluid power circuits
(Research Studies Press, 1997)This paper describes two optimisation methods which can be applied to the parameter selection stage of Fluid Power System design. These two methods used are a Genetic Algorithm (GA) and a Tabu Search method, both of which ... -
A computational neurogenetic model of a spiking neuron
(IEEE, 2005)The paper presents a novel, biologically plausible spiking neuronal model that includes a dynamic gene network. Interactions of genes in neurons affect the dynamics of the neurons and the whole network through neuronal ... -
A computational theory of human perceptual mapping
(Cognitive Science Society, 2011)This paper presents a new computational theory of how humans integrate successive views to form a perceptual map. Traditionally, this problem has been thought of as a straightforward integration problem whereby position ... -
A conceptual framework to evaluate suppliers for building infrastructure in the Malaysian electricity supply industry
(Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), 2012)In the current competitive business environment the relationship between buyers and suppliers is no longer antagonistic. Emphasis has shifted to the forging of partnerships that benefits all parties in any business setting. ... -
A conceptual model of the management of creativity and innovation in airports
(Council for Australasian University Tourism and Hospitality Education (CAUTHE), 2013)This paper takes the top ten airports identified in the SKYTRAX 2011 airport awards and investigates to what extent their success might be due to creative and innovative management actions. The literature review considers ... -
A conceptual model of workplace stress: the issue of accumulation and recovery and the health professional
(ER Publishing Ltd., 2010)Given that interventions for workplace stress have been shown to be effective, and behaviour change can be sustained over time (Veach, Rahe, Tolles and Newhall, 2003), a model that can serve to monitor the medium and ... -
A contextual information retrieval framework
(National Advisory Committee on Computing Qualifications (NACCQ), 2005)The amount of information on the Internet is constantly growing and the challenge now is one of finding relevant information. Contextual information retrieval (CIR) is a critical technology for today's search engines to ... -
A control system for an unmanned micro aerial vehicle
(AUT University, 2011)This paper presents the development of a PCbased control system for an unmanned micro aerial vehicle (UAV) that has been converted from a helicopter model. The hand-controller of the helicopter model is modified to be a ... -
A controlled Natural Language Interface to Class Models
(SciTePress, 2011)The available approaches for automatically generating class models from natural language (NL) software requirements specifications (SRS) exhibit less accuracy due to informal nature of NL such as English. In the automated ... -
A cost-effective electric vehicle charging method designed for residential homes with renewable energy
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2015)Most of the electrical infrastructure in use around the world today is decades old, and may be illsuited to widespread proliferation of personal Electric Vehicles (EVs) whose charging requirements will place increasing ... -
A cost-effective EV charging method designed for residential homes with renewable energy
(IEEE, 2014)This paper presents a smart and cost effective EV (Electric Vehicle) charging methodology for residential dwellings which have renewable energy sources. The proposed method has many benefits, including reducing peak pressure ... -
A course design for flexible learning
(AUT University, 2001)Interpreting innovation as “combining information from diverse sources into new knowledge” this paper looks into the advantages which information and communications technology development can bring into the design of a ... -
A critical evaluation of failure in a nearshore outsourcing project (what dilemma analysis can tell us)
(IEEE, 2013)Global Software Engineering (GSE) research contains few examples consciously applying what Glass and colleagues have termed an ‘evaluative-critical’ approach. In this study we apply dilemma analysis to conduct a critical ... -
A critical reflection of ethical issues in research
(Te Kaharoa, 2008)This article uses the concept of matauranga as a starting point as a device for exploring concepts of Maori mental wellness. Issues of the role of culture are explored in depth, both from theoretical and application ...
